Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

It has been dead for a while, but concern for Leatra's grown enough to keep it a few posts a day.

Leatra mentioned several times that he doesn't have internet at home or readily available, so I guess he's ok and just didn't post.

The riots have died down a bit, but not completely. There have been political parties formed out of the movement. Erdogan currently gets a lot of criticism for his handling of a big corruption affair.
Oh! That's good! :D Where did he say that?

Oh dear.

It's those damn aliens. They decided that NK in Asia wasn't doing much, so they decided to plop it down where it would have much more effect.



On a more serious note, good god that is horrible.

...But what would the leaders of Turkey do if they suddenly got hurt but there was no doctor around and everyone around them was extremely loyal to the laws of the state?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

No news from Leatra too...almost a week now.
Heh, sorry. I don't have internet at home and I'm kind of busy these days.
Also several times before that. He also said he would stay away from the violent protests, so most likely he's fine and just didn't post back.

I haven't really been following this with all the stuff happening in Ukraine, but here's a minor update:

A 15 year old died after 269 days of coma from injuries sustained in the protests. This has sparked new massive protests.

Also Erdogan is caught up in a big corruption scandal. After some conversations were leaked on social media, he threatened to cut off Facebook and Youtube, though he has backpaddled on that since.

19 according to his profile. He did mention uni classes, so he might even be older. That's thankfully not him.

Yeah, don't panic guys, that boy was injured in June, before Leatra stopped posting.

The new protests seem quite big though, 2 people died, one protester, one policeman.

Twitter blocked in Turkey.

Too much corruption on Twitter, I guess.
