@skeletor how does one get away from one's self?

@ShadSterling @Rasp @jozeldenrust @c_reider No, definitely the Cardassians.

@Rasp @jozeldenrust @c_reider Interestingly, the Romulans were *always* a stand-in for China, just as the Klingons were a stand in for the Soviet Union. But yeah, the Federation being sort of an EU-cognate right now really tracks. Better question is who is the Earth in this analogy? I.e., the ones in the driver seat while everyone else does just enough to keep them from driving off a bridge?

@jozeldenrust @c_reider it is really amazing how well it has aged, and not just in the "lol we told you war was bad" sort of way.

The downside of DS9 is that Americans can still look at themselves as the Federation. "Yeah we're not perfect, but look at the bad guys!" without zero introspection, not realizing that we are, in fact, the Cardassians.

@anon_opin in Philadelphia, "give my regards to Broad Street" is slang for public urination.

@fesshole this is literally the way I play. In fact I have played this as a variant where everyone has to buy everything they can afford when the land on it and the first person out wins. It is far, far more fun.
