You see, in these times the economy must work hand in hand with global diplomacy. How can we prevent a humanitarian disaster without the strong economy that selling weapons brings? In fact, we should start selling weapons to North Korea, Brazil, the Phillipines, and Afghanistan so that we can more effectively bring about peace in those countries.

kory teneycke has said it was an effective policy at mobilising 18-45 males, and it was a policy they used to reach them in weird places

like on the xbox home screen


he of course has an incentive to overplay his own tactical brilliance, but the PCs certainly acted like they thought it mattered, both in advertising the promise and in really making sure they delivered on it

I happen to know a couple of suburbanites with a kid that's just old enough to vote so for his first election they told him "research the candidates, find a policy you like and vote for that".

Guess what specific policy earned his vote?

Why wouldn’t it be? Campaigns advertise on online services all the time, and beer pricing is something the government does control somewhat. It’s very well done targeted advertising.
