Status: offline 		    Ahhh thanks!, I'm familiar with a similar phrase "Working as intended".  I have played such games as EQ.  That was always their reply when a really bad bug hit.

Status: offline 		It's also used by designers when they have no desire to fix a problem so obvious to the user base that for most is a game breaker.  The Supreme Ruler 2020 is a case in point...As the US or any high producer, the player will eventually get a Declaration of War from virtually the entire world because you have the potential of high war production.  Imagine getting DOWed by Sri Lanka because you have a high output of war goods.  Totally ridiculous IRL but is hard coded in the .exe because of a design decision that injected political bias against the US.

Yeah, I meant it tongue-in-cheek.  True at times though. Finally someone appreciates my humor. In your face Mrs. Evans (4th grade teacher)

To Widell, the only thing more disturbing than the first explanation in your link was the example of said entry.

Pyledriver, the only thing he cared about was absolute government power, at all costs. With king lincolns help he destroyed the real Union, replacing it with this far-reaching 'psudo-gubament' that must surely make our Founding Fathers roll in their graves still.

 For Now.
