| Topic | Adventures in government: Trucking companies can't fire drunks |

Also, if it makes you feel better, Smuffin, here's some moral justification for this. A company (just like a person) is free to do whatever they want. They can make any contract they want. When a company hires someone, they enter into a contract with that person. The company is then bound by the contract and cannot break it. The contract is governed under laws, which are its basis, and it depends on those laws for its implied terms. The company should know what the law is before entering into a contract, just as they should read the contract before entering into it.
If that's true, then all we need for this government action to be moral is to accept that it is valid for government to pass laws concerning the economy. Which I know you don't accept, but it's a whole lot more acceptable to me than a company being forced to employ someone. They're not being forced to. They chose to. Now they're stuck with the decision.

Historically the experts are right much more often than the average person and certainly much more than 0% of the time. That's why they're "experts." Of course they're not right near 100% of the time, and there are many more non-experts than experts, so a lot of innovations will come from non-experts. It's sort of like this board and contests- every year, the board destroys the casuals in bracketmaking. There are still going to be matches where the board gets embarassed, but those are outweighed by all the obvious matches we get right and the casuals miss.

Yeah, I don't think Obama has anything left to say at this point. We've already been trying his economic policies since the last year of Bush's presidency, basically, and I'm not sure what Obama could change now.

| Topic | So, what's the most overrated game of all time? |
red sox 777 08/30/11 9:13:00 PM #27 |
Lots of OOT and FFVII hate in here. We need to get MWC in this topic so he can tell you all about how OOT and FFVII are actually underrated because if voters were fair, they would get at least 95% against everything but around 3 other games.

Maybe I should give Mario Galaxy more credit. I was thinking facing one of the games I've got ranked 1-8 would be a good test. Although preferably, since RE4 wants to be ranked #2, it should be beating top 5 games. Breaking 45% on CT might also do the trick with me as nothing's managed it yet.

I'm not voting RE4 at #2 until it proves itself against first rate competition. It's sort of #2 by default right now because of its undefeated record, but it hasn't faced any of our truly top games yet.

Guess I can't answer the question then. I have a feeling there'll be a lot of no answers here, since people are only allowed to answer if they intend to play Brawl at all.

Oh boy, with Chrono Trigger omitted from one ballot entirely and thus losing 24 points, will it be enough to cause it to fall behind RE4 in the rankings?

I'm all ready for "Link the handsome but non-beefy action hero with cool one-liners"
Please NO. If you want that kind of character, get a different series and stop trying to change who Link is.

No. No voice acting. There's a high chance Nintendo would ruin Link's character, and even if they did somehow do a good job of it, it would still be at best equal to what he is as a silent protagonist. You're supposed to fill in his lines yourself, with some imagination.

Crono is Albion's favorite character. He wanted to see Yoshi > Crono because he wanted chaos and upsets to happen, and he'd given up on Crono being the one to win upsets.

CSAD would actually be pretty nice to have in book form, except that it'd come in volumes like the Encyclopedia Britannica and fill a bookshelf by itself. Maybe if we cut out the hundreds of one-liners we get in close matches, and all the posts showing the early returns when people voted. Then again, those posts actually wouldn't take up all that much space in a physical book, because there's not as much text in them, so even if we only included actual discussion, it would still be pretty colossal.
