lol nuts. Was just hearing reporting this morning only summarizing the clown show, and the general sentiment that she likely won't be around for long.

Things move quickly.

I never understood why Gandhi was always such a dick in Civ. After nuking the Russians, Gandhi was always my second target, usually pre-emptive, because I knew he would always come for me no matter what.

it's a game. don't expect reality. I bet the devs thought, hey let's make Gandhi an asshole just for the hell of it.

 

[UNCjigga]

lol lasted all of six weeks. how the hell did she win in the first place?

By promising tax breaks to Lords and billionaires.

It was a bug, at least initially.

If memory serves it had something to do with Ghandi already being at zero aggression as a leader attribute but when India adopted democracy it gave another negative modifier to aggression. The developers forgot to implement some sort of code like if aggression <0 then 0, and instead it wrapped around to max aggression.

The Kool and the Gang Celebration the lettuce keeps playing killed me

If only US voters could wake up and learn from your disastrous blunder. Buy hey we're Number One!

If I understand the British Parliamentary system correctly, I think that head of lettuce is now PM.

 

[K1052]

[WelshBloke]

Worth a bet on her becoming the serving the shortest term of any UK PM!

Ha!

You could tell she was definitely going when she stood in Parliament and said "I'm a fighter not a quitter"

 

[dawp]

Well she did make history, just not in a way she would have liked

That's what I heard originally - but in an interview with the developers it was stated that there was no such bug, I think it was actually cited somewhere as an example of a kind of psychological bias - because Gandhi was expected to be non-violent people strongly registered it on the rare occasions in the game when just random chance meant he went against type.

Actually, The Bug That Made Gandhi Drop Nukes In Civilization Is Just A Myth

Civilization creator Sid Meier recently explained that the bug that made Gandhi drop nukes in the first Civ game is totally made up.

Right after Kwateng said "I'm not going anywhere" and then was fired the next day.

I can see them picking Boris then calling a snap election and relying on people voting for him in the hope he will fix things. If they wait too long it gives him time to mess things up.
Much as I hate Boris a lot of tory voters love him.

 

[pmv]

I might be out of date by the time I finish typing this (they might have been through a couple more leaders by the time I hit 'post') but what I heard was the plan was for MPs to vote, and then for whoever came second (which probably means "whoever wasn't Rishi Sunak") to drop out, so the crackpot membership won't get a chance to vote and screw things up again.

But if the second-place is someone from the right of the party, like Bad Enoch or Suella Braverman, surely it's possible they'll refuse to stand down, knowing they have an excellent chance with the membership vote? And then we'll all be back where we started.

 

[Pens1566]

Yeah, gonna be Boris again. Just a feeling. I'm sure it'll work out this time though.
