I think it's safe to say that those events are older than 200 years. (remember, the OP asked for something from the 19th century onward)

A small correction if you don't mind: bankers, particularly those in higher positions, should now be referred to as banksters (from banker + gangster).

Well, considering they get their weapons from the US to begin with, it should at least be fairly easy to disarm most of them if you really wanted to.

But yes, that seemed very much like a "USA! We're number one!" sort of post, which completely forgets that you have to deal with the aftermath of the war.

Doesn't that fundamentally depend on whether or not you will be the one sitting on it?

Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0.

A quick overview of how activity works is, you gain 14 points every 2 weeks, provided you posted in that 2 week period. So, in about 2 months you should be a Member (60 activity required).

I suppose you can argue that the use of nuclear weapons at that time might have led to them not being used later, for example against china during the Korean war, which could have led down a pretty bad road. But don't forget that the world came pretty close to nuclear war on several occasions (the Cuban missile crisis being one such occasion); the truth is it was closer to sheer luck that such thing never took place, and the reality is we're not out of the woods yet.

Now, even in the absence of nuclear war, or a major world war, saying that "invasions like US invasion of Iraq doesn't really count" is silly; doesn't count to whom? It certainly counted to all those that died, which weren't few by any means, and to their loved ones. It also counted in that it pretty much destroyed the country and the lives of many of its people. Also, you never had a period of peace lasting half a century: there was constant war going on, but the type of war bullies like, I suppose: big guys beating on weak defenseless people. In fact, after WW2 the US saw that it could implement its long held dream of ruling the world (or much of it), and went for it. See the wars, conflicts and coups that took place in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, parts of Europe, Africa, etc., for more details.

The current minimum post limit is at 10 or 12 posts a week. So, if you can do that before the next payday, Thursday I think, you should be fine.

World best lovers of what, pasta?

I don't think you actually have to post something, but the general idea is right; it counts as long as you are actively using the forum (like browsing through the threads), and stops after a set time of inactivity.

Should I take from this that you never interacted with Icelandic?

There you go.  You will need a dos emulator like DosBox or D-Fend to run it though.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried the file yet, so be sure to have an antivirus/antimalware program ready just in case.

That Senior and Hero Members get preferential treatment isn't really surprising, or something new for that matter; we all know their rates per post are far higher than other members for example. You can argue it isn't right and that any other member can do just about as much as they can despite the limitations, but at the end of the day it's the campaign owner's decision. And they obviously want those ranks over any other to join.

Besides that, I think you're right in pointing out that people who reserve the spot might not take it; both UpDown and PD have announced in the last few days coming changes to their pay structure, so there is a possibility that many of these reserves will probably never be filled anyway.

Actually, PD did that last month, at least for a few members, and I think Ritz did so as well when they started their campaign a few months ago. Maybe you could reserve this as a reward for those that had no spam posts at all, or something like that. 

Yes, his poor judgement is not in question... but because you think his posts lower the overall quality of the forum, you decided to take it upon yourself to call for him to be punished above and beyond what even the people that had to put up with him think is adequate. Least I can say is, I hope you never become a mod/staff member in this forum.

Perhaps you didn't mean to say Ritz is a scammer, but you certainly must understand by now that that is the perception that sticks when you see a large red "Warning: Trade with extreme caution!" next to someone. Sure people should look at what the feedback is about, but they often don't, particularly newer members that may be less familiar with the system.

Also, I sort of agree that a self-moderated thread is not a great start, but considering the amount of members that were at that time accusing Ritz of everything from the casino not being provably fair, to her not having intentions of paying out and what not, I can understand why it would be required to have a greater control of a thread like this. On top of it, someone coming in and then giving Ritz negative feedback doesn't really help the situation, and only sort of ensures it will get worse.

Lastly, I can't help but feel that you left the negative feedback for Ritz alone, and for something that most other campaigns were doing already: PD was certainly already paying members to post throughout the board with little restrictions, and you now have even more campaigns that do the same, and with ever larger incentives. Yet you didn't bother with leaving feedback for them. And I guess you can argue that most (but not all) others don't have self moderated threads and that Ritz is still untrustworthy because of this, but the truth is there have already been several months of Ritz paying the members of the campaign with little to no problems. So, why haven't you removed the negative feedback, or if you really care about people spamming the boards, given it also to UpDown, FXO, PD, Gaw Miners, etc.?

If the mods think there is no reason to permaban/restrict his forum experience even further, why do you even care so much about it? They've certainly dealt with far worse in the past than a mere pissed off spammer, so I don't think they're under such stress right that they need you to protect them from him.

In relation to him creating a new thread about the ban, that is not uncommon; provided you show some restrain (which he unfortunately didn't) and work towards understanding the reasons for the ban, I don't think you will automatically be penalized (ban evading is another story).

I'm not sure, but I think UpDown will still be paying on a weekly basis at that time, so I don't see that most would prefer PD over UpDown at that time; they might consider changing when PD announces new rates, but at the moment UpDown still seems far more attractive.

I'm not sure about favorite, but I definitely spent a lot of time with time: Chaos, the Battle of Wizards. You are a wizard, and your mission is to kill every other wizard on the board. To accomplish this, you have an arsenal of spells at your disposal, ranging from summoning creatures to aid you in your efforts, to casting lightning bolts on the heads of your unsuspecting foes. Damn, now I want to play that game again...

Here's a video of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTFITF0ofF0.



PS: while searching for the pic, I noticed that someone ported this to android. 

You can certainly buy their company, for a time, but they'll never be your friends; at least not in any meaningful sense of the word friend. They're there just so they can get at your money, and once that ends, so does their interest in you.

Could be an interesting opportunity, but the pay per post value is really low when compared to the sig campaigns on this forum. For comparison, FXO for example, is paying 0.0009 btc per post to Full Members, which at the moment is about 3 times what you're offering here.

Would you mind going into detail how the shares are distributed among participants, and perhaps the expected revenue per share?
