    Poll: What is Your Alignment (Escapist)?

    Depends on whether I'm on duty or off. On duty, Lawful Neutral, because the law must be upheld and enforced at all costs and to the letter. A good civil security officer should not concern himself with the morality or practicality of any law, nor let his feelings interfere with it's...

    Games you didn't like, but got better a second playthrough or purchas

    Exactly this. This is the first example that comes to mind, really. As for something new, probably Crusader Kings. At first it was quite difficult and annoying to figure out how it should work and how to lead a country properly. First few times I played it were short and devastated the...

    Escapists First Jobs

    Hmm. First job. My lord, that was first ago. I believe my first job was as a security guard for a local embassy. It was after I did my brief first stay in the military and my criminal record was spotless, so they figured I would be a good hire. Of course, unfortunately, it was a really...

    The internet is a strange place - Reptilians and other crazy shit.

    Ah, yes. Good old Lizardmen and associates, taking over the world again. Though I mostly react to it like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0], I must say that I often find their choice of music ... strange and unexpected. Although, boy will we have egg on our faces if it DOES...

    SkyNET Is Real, And It's Hunting Your Router

    I really want to know what this SkyNET is actually going to be used for. I'm sure it has SOME military application...

    Your favorite game with Dwarves!

    I'll join in on the chorus of "Dwarf Fortress!". It's just so damn good. Although, I do like Dwarves in almost every single game ever made that involved them in any way a all. Who couldn't like small, but powerful, warriors that have become incredibly good at hacking people's knees off.

    Under what circumstances would you become a Mercenary?

    If I get enough money, the firearms I'd want, my army gear or an exact reconstruction and position as squad leader. ...And my precious explosives. What? I don't have any sort of quandaries with being a mercenary. Sounds like kind of an interesting job, too.

    Tactical brilliance...

    Battle of Tannenberg, 1410. Battle of Ula, 1564. Battle of Kircholm, 1605. In addition to those great National strategic and tactical victories, several others that I admire greatly due to strategic, tactical or both kinds of military brilliance and was forced to learn from during my...

    Poll: Bacon: Chewy, or Crunchy?

    Somewhere exactly in the middle. Either it comes out as too chewy, sometimes to the point of being positively slimy, which makes my teeth hurt, or it comes out as far too crunchy for it's own good and it feels like I'm eating a really, really badly burnt piece of pork that doesn't taste at all...

    What does your movie collection say about you?

    I have too much to list, however... It says I don't like blue-ray, cling to VHS too much, have too much money on my hands and like war, drama and films that are considered classics a whole lot.

    Poll: American sentiment

    Pardon me. Rather difficult to speak with all this English. Ahem. What I meant to say is that I fully support your response, argumentation and, perhaps, the slight anti-government sentiment you seem to have. And that most, if not all, our politicians are terrible, terrible people.

    Poll: American sentiment

    I dislike only the relative, very visible minority of Americans on both sides of the Great Line of the Political Spectrum, however I dislike the political system quite a bit. It's unnecessarily complicated and gives too much power to the government, along with too many chances for the Commies to...

    Who's your country's greatest ally?

    Pretty much. Mongols? Punched in the face. Russians? We threw their Spetsnaz and riot control out without weapons. Teutons? Kinda dead because of us. And so on and so on. Also, our other greatest allies? The Czech Republic and Hungary. Those are swell guys.

    What is your degree in?

    Lowest degree (or equivalent of one) in Nuclear Physics, which I intended to use to become a nuclear technician, but never did, so it's more or less useless by now. Instead... well, I suppose all the jobs I had would point that I have the highest degree in beating people and enforcing rules.

    Who's your country's greatest ally?

    Well, I assume that Latvia would be our greatest ally. Essentially the same country with the same people, except that somewhere down the long, winding trail of history, some guy got hit in the head with a rock and forgot how to speak Lithuanian properly. Besides that, probably... Sweden...
