The American Way: A 2016 Election Game. (Sign Up/Rules/Discussion)

Can I play as Jim Webb?

Holding up a policy like that makes me less willing to continue this game or anything on the election games board. A truly terrible rule that breaks the flow and feel of the game.

Are you just going to delete images that people haven't marked?

Well yes. I very much regret the impact it may have on some players but sadly, the policy is necessary if Dave and the site are to avoid legal issues, and not a random act of fascism. So yes, I will have to delete images that are not attributed.

In all seriousness, it's not really optional for Lumine or Dave. If Dave wants to continue running the site he needs there to be some rule of law, and if people keep on posting copyrighted images then there is a large liability for the site to get shut down. I just really hope more people see where they're coming from as I don't want to see people get banned or the site shutdown.

Indeed. Would I wish it was optional? Yes, but it isn't and there are good - or at least compelling - reasons for it.

Why don't we just make it to where if we used images that are labeled for re-use, then we don't have to hyperlink them, but if we get ones that aren't labeled for reuse, we then have to cite them?

I'm afraid I don't follow, could you ellaborate a bit?

When you go to google something, for example say I google, "Marco Rubio Speaking."

I would go to the tool menu, press on Usage Rights, then press on Labeled for Reuse.

The images that are labeled under Reuse, are non-copyrighted, which means no punishment for using them.

That sounds good

JIM WEBB ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL BID ON MSNBC[/b]

Joe Scarborough "We are now joined by former Virginia Senator Jim Webb, and we have word he has a big announcement he wants to share with us. Jim?"

Jim Webb "That's right Joe. But first, I just want to thank you for having me today."

Scarborough "Our pleasure. So what is this announcement of yours?"

Webb "Well Joe, I have done some reflecting over the past few weeks, and one thing is clear: our party, the Democrat Party, has swung to the left in recent years, and as a result he have taken a real beating, from local elections all the way to Congress. But it seems we haven't learned from our mistake. In fact, we have some of the most liberal presidential candidates ever running for the nomination this year.

We won't win this election if we nominate someone who keeps pushing us to the left. America is more polarized than just about ever before, and the only way we can win is if we nominate a moderate, someone who can appeal to both sides and unite our nation. Seeing that there are no other candidates who I believe can do this, I have decided to run myself."

Scarborough "So it's official: Jim Webb is in!"

Webb (laughing) "That's right, Joe, that's right."

Scarborough "But how do you win? What do you think makes you stand out from the other candidates, and if you do win the nomination, how do you win the election?"

Webb "Good question. Like I said, I'm a moderate, but I'm still a Democrat. I pushed for criminal justice and drug law reform, I was a critic of the Iraq War, I supported the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. But at the same time, I believe in a strong foreign policy plan, I support the Second Amendment, and I think we need to address the issues of immigration and why people are coming here illegally. I still believe that my views are in line with many of your average Democrat voters, the average middle-class or blue collar worker, and once the message gets out, I think we have a great chance at beating out the other guys, who are all fighting for that small, hard left vote bloc. And of course, once we win the primary, the election will be easy, because my views are also in line with most of the country, and I think people won't be too happy voting for a pro-rich tax cut, pro-big business Republican."

Scarborough "Alright, I'm afraid that's all the time we have, so Senator, thanks for coming on and sharing your plans with us. Folks, former Senator and current presidential candidate, Jim Webb."

Webb "Thanks again, Joe. Appreciate it."
