nobody ever said world in conflict wasnt an ace game. but its simply not as dynamic as FA. since you've never played FA you really cant comment ;)

Dude, supcom blows that game out of the water. We're talking about a game in which you must think both tactically AND strategically at the same time while building an economy, and developing an army/air force/navy all at the same time. Additionally, certain weapons have plus's and minus's. If your enemy deploys a certain unit and you have no defense against it, you're ed. You have to be on your toes 100% of the time. If we're going to talk about nukes, supcom is better than that crap! With supcom, you can nuke from a silo, submarine, or battleship. WHen your commander dies, since he is nuclear powered, the guy explodes in a nuclear fireball, and this happens at the end of EVERY game.
Think of it as a game of chess, x1000. Same concept. Kill the king/kill the commander. Instead of a boring checkerboard and pieces, you play on fields/mountains/lakes/etc., building up armies, air forces, and naval forces, and going back and forth with your enemy. There are 1000's of different ways to win, which makes this game one of the most dynamic ever made.
It'de really be good if you joined the club cap...;)
Wonder how a corporate bailout thread turned into a computer games? I hope we're not....

erecting buildings and mining for coal for an hour before you can start fighting isn't my idea of fun...Homie don't play dat.
I do like chess though. At least with it you don't need to build every piece from scratch before starting the battle.

lol.. Dude, you just have to try it.
I get combat units out in 1 minute, 2 at the most. I'm telling you, you have to be on your toes. 1v1 games usually don't last longer than 10 minutes, and I bet you every single minute is full action! Skirmishes, battles, raids, bombing runs, aerial dogfights, and that's just in the first 10 minutes! Even if you wanted to sit back and build up your "economy" or "base", you'de be ed. It's fast paced dude, I'm tellin you..Try it!:toothless

No transaction takes place on the free market unless both parties believe they will benefit from it. The only institution with the legal power to force people to act against their own wishes is the federal government.

If it were up to the market, some institutions would take 1:100 leverage if they could. That's why we need regulating. It's like allowing anyone to drive as fast as they want on the highways. Someone is bound to get hurt, and cause a traffic jam!!

If someone wants to pay through the nose for something thats in high demand...
Just take a look a what happens around Christmas time when the newest toy/gadget/game shows up on Ebay and what people are willing to pay - sans log jams!
It's a slippery slope when government gets involved to regulate something that isn't considered 'essential'.
I'd say if it's going to hurt the overall economy then yes, the government should probably make suggestions and an ultimatum before stepping in.
Most of the time, the market will correct itself unless it was a train (plane) wreck like Air Canada where literally thousands of spinoff jobs were at peril across Canada before the government bailout.

There is such a thing as too much credit, and as the subprime collapse showed, it leads to crap for everyone, not just banks and subprime borrowers. I would consider regulation essential.
