Anecdote from Starcraft 2

[silverhandorder]

Was just playing a random 4v4 game and one of the guys was named EndTheFed. And there was one more guy besides me that was like yeah go Ron Paul. So 3/8 is not bad.

Nice. The campaign Wings of Liberty has a few elements of liberty embedded throughout the story.

So Ron is polling 37.5% on starcraft? Winning....

Would love to see Ron Paul's face super-imposed on the SC2 Wings of Liberty Marine:

When Day9 was doing his "warcry" funday monday, I used to shout out "For Liberty!!!" as I charged my marine/marauder/medivac at the enemy

EDIT: Using very liberal amounts of stim, naturally

That's no ordinary marine that's Raynor.

Haha this is funny. I was gonna make a very similiar thread but you beat me to it. My name on SC2 is simply Ron Paul. I wanted Ron Paul 2012 but the name was already chosen. Check this out:

I thought about doing a series of starcraft economic videos about austrian business cycle theory comparing artificially low interest rates to bad scouting information or an artificial infusion of gas/minerals that leads to a malinvestment in excessive early barrack/factory production that is unjustified.... although constructing early bunkers would make more sense since then you could 'deconstruct them' in order to reapply the resources to more sensible projects.

Honestly, I think RTS players inately understand austrian economics.

Speaking of we should play some RPF starcraft sometime

 

[Thomas86]

Or maybe a better example would be the 'low interest rates' would cause a protoss player to think he can play 4 gate and 2 robo off of one base.... and when they realizes that he doesn't have the resources to use the infrastructure without more artificial credit - the buildings lose some of their perceived value and he has to re-evaluate his economy.

I dunno exactly but I know some austrian economics is in there somewhere .

I did something like this in '08. Before I left any multiplayer session, I'd say something like, "Vote Ron Paul."

 

[Xenophage]

In '08 I made some World of Warcraft toons named for RP. It was silly and fun. I got a few people to virtually 'high five' me. I also had some irate chat convos with warfare/welfare lovers.

lololololollolololol. i wonder what nick's view of ron is.

I think they stole a lot of the ideas of the Zerg and space marines from warhammer 40K. Zerg's are Tyranids. Space marines are space marines. Protoss are a messed up version of Eldar.

Then why wasn't warhammer more popular? Blizzard = Good at knowing what gamers want and giving it to them.

Starts at 4minutes, but the Ron Paul part starts at around 6mins
