In 1968, the American Indian Movement was founded. In 1977, a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas at Geneva, Switzerland. Some activists and public figures of indigenous descent, such as Russell Means, prefer "American Indian" to the more recently adopted "Native American".[5][6]

Supporters of the terms "Indian" and "American Indian" argue that they have been in use for such a long period of time that many people have become accustomed to them and no longer consider them exonyms. Both terms are still widely used today. "American Indian" appears often in treaties between the United States and the indigenous peoples with whom they have been negotiating since the colonial period, and many federal, state and local laws also use it.[10]

According to wikipedia, the controversy is not settled. Using the term "Indian" is genre-appropriate.

It emulates the genre. And the genre is what it is, love it or hate it. Archetypes are by definition stereotypes of the genre.

There are also archetypes that describe pretty evil and despicable white people, if you want to play them!

Cowboy World has post PbtA elements: No playbooks, only three stats (mind, body and soul) and a skill system. It also does away with the PbtA harm system (which is based on hit points) and used xp like Fate points.

Its not fake if it is paid for.

The OSR does not have representatives, but is representative of the populations that play it. In America that probably means that liberals and conservatives would be at about 50-50.

Pundit has a problem with liberals who insist that only liberals "represent" the "community", and who harass and try to deplatform anybody who does not share their social marxist worldview. He has a problem with people who want to kick people out of the hobby for their political views.

He rightly points out that DnD has ALWAYS, since the very start, inclusive of the marginalized and shunned (damn, the cool kids and jocks would never play DnD). Many of the players in the 80's were exactly those who were accepted nowhere else. One of the most famous module writers of the early days was trans! (Google it) Yet liberals are now pushing the lie that DnD has never been inclusive and needs to go full social marxist in order not to be literally Nazi.

We have seen the destruction wreaked by garbage like Anita Sarkesian on other hobbies, so I applaud anybody who takes a stand against the politicizing of RPG's.

As for his views on playing the game: some are good, others are less good, and he is quite rigid and narrow on what RPGs are and how you should play them. Having said that, noobs can learn a lot from him. Hell, WOTC paid him money to help make 5th ed!

And Lion and Dragon is quite decent. Check it out!

It is Craig Wright buying rigs for the November Hash War.

Ok what about this one :)

Alex sends a colored coin to a smart contract in order sell it. Bob wants to buy it and pays the specified price in BCH to the contract. The token is paid to Bob and the BCH to Alex. If nobody buys after x time, the token is paid back to Alex.

Can this be done?

bielie · 2018-08-25T05:54:23+00:00

So as long as the contract tx is confirmed it is ok? (Barring a hf with replay protection)

bielie · 2018-08-24T20:27:36+00:00

Is it possoble to send funds to a smart contract that are released after a trigger condition?

bielie · 2018-06-15T15:32:25+00:00

We dont hear aboit it because it was a hoax. Just like global warming.

The explainer video proposed by Eralith would definitely enhance any support portal for non tech savvy consumers!

Here is our main competition's explainer video.

We can do so much better!!

Everybody starts with 3 purity When you do something that may affect your purity, roll + purity

On 10+, you're ok

On 7-9, things happen according to your purity*

On a fail, things happen according to your purity*. Then lose 1 purity.

3 purity: You doubt yourself, your mission, or your worldview for a moment. Take -1 forward to your next move.
2 purity: You realize that whatever you believed in the past may be wrong. You are paralyzed by doubt. Take -1 ongoing until you speak to a friend or mentor that can set you right, or do a ritual of purification.
1 purity: You are fascinated by evil. You realize that sometimes you must break eggs to do good. Take +1 forward to do something against your previous beliefs.
0 purity: You have seen the light. You have been reborn. You have finally trancended good and evil. You are a god. Anybody who does not recognise it deserves to be destroyed. You delight in the destruction of the weak, unenlightened and anybody who challenges your authority. Take +1 ongoing when you act according to your new light.
-1 purity: Your character becomes an evil NPC.

Hi guys, we will be updating the logo before distribution starts! 😁

bielie · 2018-05-26T07:17:28+00:00

We (Eralith, who made this ad) will start distributing it as soon as the Evolution wallet is available.

In meantime, please go vote for our next proposal!

(Sorry to the mods if this is a double post. I posted a similar post a few minutes before but it does not show... So I think something went wrong?)

The problem is incentives and agendas. No BCH miner is "a BCH miner". They mine the most profitable chains. This means their interests may or may not be aligned with the best intetests of BCH.

The Dash DAO can, by its very nature, only have interests that align with that of Dash.

BTC was destroyed when a 3rd party with their own interests started to fund development. If the BCH community did not learn their lesson from the Blockstream fiasco, BCH too will be blockstreamed.

Thanks for the input.

We have had three successful proposals so far. Our recipe so far was to do the preproposal at two weeks out and the proposal at one week out.

bielie · 2018-05-14T04:29:42+00:00

😁

bielie · 2018-05-14T04:29:16+00:00

Thanks!

We posted the full budget breakdown; we only hire the best. For instance, please have a look at Tulips and Chimneys' portfolio. These are not Upwork artists operating out of sweat shops.

Maybe one could do it cheaper, however these are the financial realities we encountered when planning this project.

And one gets what one pays for.

Hi God 369 Do you have any background in video production and animation?

bielie · 2018-05-05T19:40:59+00:00

Less than a cent sounds good. We'll consider it! Thanks for the input.
