Folks–

I’ve been asked to do some playtesting of Cubicle 7’s forthcoming DOCTOR WHO game. I figured that I’d post to a filtered list of gaming-minded local types, to see if any of you are interested in doing a one-day session, where we’ll concentrate on the areas I’ve been asked to look at: Character creation, and bashing out a few scenes to test the core system.

Interested parties will be covered under my signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, so obviously this is confidential.

Post below if you’re interested. We can work out a day once we know who’s on board.

Y’know….

Maybe, just maybe, a candidate’s wins can be attributed to the candidates themselves, rather than their opponents.

But no — according to the latest media narrative, Obama’s 2-to-1 victory in South Carolina, where he drew more votes than the top two candidates in last week’s Republican primary combined, is apparently “a rebuke of the Clinton’s strategy,” rather than, oh I dunno, people voting for him because they feel that he’s the best candidate.

Nah, couldn’t be that. Everything’s got to be about Hill and Bill, even in defeat.

Read here, or follow my summary:

In order to prevent states from moving their primaries earlier and earlier (which was causing a leapfrogging effect), the Democratic National Committee warned states not to move dates, or their delegates would not be seated at the Convention, and therefore would not count towards the primary vote.

Michigan and Flordia ignored this, and moved their primaries anyway. So, the DNC followed through on the threat, and their delegates will not be seated.

Subsequenty, no Democrats have campaigned in those states for the primary. Hillary Clinton, however, put her name on the ballots anyway. She “won” Michigan, and probably will in Florida as well. It’s *technically* according to the rules, since she’s not actively campaigning.

Now, however, faced with a close race which could go down to the Convention itself, Hillary now wants those wins to count. So she’s fighting the DNC’s decision, and asking her delegates to try and overturn it at the Convention.

THIS IS BULLSHIT. The other candidates did not campaign there because they were following the party rules. Now, she wants to change the rules so that her un-contested wins can catapult her into the nomination….and because J. Random Voter doesn’t understand the political rules involved, anyone who fights against her will look like their somehow against “everybody having their say.”

This is who you’re thinking of electing, people. Think long and hard about that.
