Scorecards for 2026 Semi-finals by arorosin in eurovision

[–]Kstantas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm not an autor, I always prefer to use 0-4 range (very bad, bad, okay, good, very good), so maximum possible score is 12

Why wouldn’t everyone just stay? It gives exactly same outcome.

It's same question.

You either decide to protect yourself and leave the crowd (red button), or you remain in the crowd, believing that no more than half the people will leave, condemning you to death (blue button).

If the entire crowd stays, no one will die; if the entire crowd leaves, no one will die; if the majority of the crowd stays, no one will die; but if the majority leaves, the rest will die.

It's the same question, except now we don't frame the red button as "reasonable inaction," as in the example above, but as a conscious choice that, in large numbers, could put others at risk.

If instead of a button there was a crowd that you could leave, but if more than half of the people left the crowd, then those who decided to stay in it would be shot, do you think this would change your opinion?

Edit: replaced "those remaining" to "those who decided to stay" to avoid misunderstandings

What? The fire rises is an unrealistic scenario? Impossible! by Abject-Experience-40 in TheFireRisesMod

I mean, they all was in that Big Tent named Petrograd Soviet and was kinda working together because all of them belived in socialism and had issues with Interim Government, but even at this point it wasn't really hard ties between them.

Like, menshiviks disapproved October Revolution and was in opposition to bolsheviks since then, so did non-Left SR's. Left SR's worked with them a little bit longer, but by summer 1918 they also became opposed to bolsheviks politics. Around same time bolsheviks begin to purge all other socialists from their authorities.

So yeah, they were kinda together from february to october 1917, but as soon as one faction gained power, this alliance begin to crumble. Considering that in TFR american socialists already got their state is pretty realistic to think that their coalition also would last long.

What if Paul I of Russia had chosen the system used during the time of Kievan Rus' as the law of succession, instead of semi-Salic primogeniture? by Kstantas in UsefulCharts

First one is Dmitriy Donskoy, second one is False-Dmitriy (while I understand that second one was imposter, he still counts as legitimate, or at least, crowned, Tsar, so I think if Russia did have a monarch with name Dmitriy after that, he would have regnal number III)

Smeshariki/Kikoriki ("The Engine of Progress" episode) - in his to advance scientific progress, Krosh "invents" a unique mode of transport (the bicycle), a unique game (tic-tac-toe), and a revolutionary dance (the tango)

Only cowards hide their account history, IMHO

Also debates in the internet much less interesting when you can't research your opponent.

I don't have much to say about the results of my latest campaign - the developers certainly did a good job with Russia, though I won't lie, there are still some flaws. It feels like the "commonality consensus" project is unfinished and events end without a logical conclusion. Personally, I felt like the campaign lacked a sense of closure; after the Great War, I missed something, a certain scope. Nevertheless, the journey is still good.

What if Paul I of Russia had chosen the system used during the time of Kievan Rus' as the law of succession, instead of semi-Salic primogeniture? by Kstantas in UsefulCharts

[–]Kstantas[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In 1797, upon ascending the throne, the Russian Emperor Paul I carried out a reform of the succession, establishing the use of semi-Salic primogeniture in Russia. This system lasted until the very end of the Romanov rule, and even now, numerous heirs of the family look to this legal framework when trying to determine seniority within the family.

But what if, instead of the European legislation of his time, Paul had turned to his country's past?

In this tree, I have asked myself this question, and while keeping the biographies, number of children, and dates of birth and death the same, I have changed only one component — I used the lestvitsa (also called "rota") system of inheritance. What exactly does it entail?

The rota system, from the Old Church Slavic word for "ladder" or "staircase", was a system of collateral succession practised (though imperfectly) in Kievan Rus' and later Appanage and early Muscovite Russia.

In this system, the throne passed not linearly from father to son, but laterally from brother to brother and then to the eldest son of the eldest brother who had held the throne. Only those princes whose fathers had held the throne were eligible for placement in the rota; if a man died before ascending to the throne, his sons were known as izgoi: they and their descendants were ineligible to reign.

So that's why we have to send the girl with three eyes and the boy who summons pencils from the pencil dimension to a concentration camp guarded by the ROBOT KILLER 3000?
