Antony Green did a pretty cool blog post on this

I was about to say this, but you've preempted me. And you're also correct, Palmer was referencing the vote, Shorten was referencing the campaign

I remember being told about this as a kid and thought it was stupid. Time to do the next generation a favour I suppose

Went here for the first time a little while ago. It was obviously a real labour of love that's run down a bit (some of the houses fallen apart, the "train robbery" long gone, etc). But still pretty fascinating.

Curious if any buildings were genuine - guessing not but unclear

That's probably right.

Etrian Odyssey 4 (haven't played the others) went in the middle by using the stylus on a DS to make maps that were a lot more user friendly than hand-made ones. But that's rather hardware specific!

Definitely a space for Bard's Tale with interesting combat. Are you thinking user-mapping (BT 1 and 2) or auto-mapping (BT3)?

Such an awesome tagline 😂

Sorry I realise that is irrelevant to your point

At least another two if you count pre-federation. Rum Rebellion md I think there was a convict uprising too - all shot under the flag of truce I think

Like how learning to play guitar makes you dislike Oasis?

Why cancel the whole event rather than rescind the decision?

Your stuff encourages media literacy. I've learned a lot from your "content"

It's not as good a representation of electoral desires
