Category: Prince George
Ever since the Royal Pregnancy was announced, there has been a shifting set of girls' name possibilities set forth, with Alexandra, Charlotte and Victoria in the lead. But when it comes to the little prince, the frontrunner has been George all the way. George is the name of six previous kings, including Queen Elizabeth's father. Now, in true fairy tale tradition, we want to bestow our wishes for a possible Prince George—based on the attributes of some notable bearers of his name.


text: Hurricane wins softball showdown By Ryan Pritt April 9, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Hurricane's Linzie Reynolds is mobbed by her teammates after belting a two-run home run. HURRICANE, W.Va. - The question coming into Tuesday night was which team would win the battle of the Kanawha Valley's Class AAA top-five teams.That question was answered quickly, and it really wasn't much of a battle at all.Eight of Hurricane's nine batters had at least one hit as the Redskins pounded out nine runs on 12 knocks and sophomore Courtney Rogers limited St. Albans to just three hits as Hurricane nailed down an impressive 9-0 five-inning mercy-rule win.The No. 5 Redskins pounced early as leadoff hitter Madi Casto and No. 2 hitter Nicole Pierson led off the game with singles before Rogers scored them both two batters later with a double down the left field line.Hurricane would score two more that inning on a Linzie Reynolds two-run home run, and things would only get worse for the No. 4 Red Dragons (15-2)."We've hit the ball like that in a lot of games this year," Hurricane coach Josh Caldwell said. "We've come out and been aggressive, hit the ball, worked our counts, and when we do that we're going to be tough to beat."St. Albans senior pitcher Ali Haynes was hit hard, and even when the Redskins didn't catch all of it it seemed to find holes in the infield."She wasn't throwing with her normal velocity," St. Albans coach Greg Garber said. "She didn't have her normal velocity and she didn't have her normal control. She fell behind a lot of hitters, and combined with the fact we had three hits that never left the infield, two pop-ups that drop, a bunt [single], and then a two-run early [double] off the handle that barely goes over third and lands on the line. When you add four unfortunate hits to a couple of blasts and a couple of shots and you're not hitting your locations, it makes for a quick night." While there were a few dinks and dunks in the mix, there were also some scorchers.The Redskins (14-2) accounted for five extra-base hits, including Reynolds' home run.Shortstop Cassi Sargent doubled and tripled while driving home three runs to lead the Hurricane attack."We had to stay focused," Sargent said. "We had to know that we had to come in with our heads in it. We couldn't take them lightly at all so we came in ready to go."We worked a lot in the offseason. Our 1-through-18 can hit the ball no matter who you put in, JV or varsity." Caldwell agreed."Our nine hitter has two home runs this year so we've got a very good, aggressive hitting team," Caldwell said. "All through the lineup we have power. It starts with [Casto] getting on and all the way through the lineup we have the ability to hit them out or double." While Hurricane flashed its bats all game long, there was Rogers putting up zero after zero. She finished with seven strikeouts and no walks while giving up just three harmless singles."I just hit the corners and hit my spots," Rogers said.Nicole Pierson, Rogers, and Addie Fullen joined Sargent in the two-hit club with Fullen adding a double and a pair of RBIs. Amber Null also had a double.Madi Marshall, Alyssa Bonham, and Briana Pauley each had a single for St. Albans.nnDespite the end result, St. Albans did accomplish something that few teams do. With the score 9-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Hurricane had the bases loaded needing just one more run to end the game then and there.Emily Davis laced a line drive to left field that seemed for all the world to be over St. Albans leftfielder Whitney Jones' head.The Redskins runners took off, but Jones made a nice catch and quickly and got it back into the infield, where runners were forced out at third and second base resulting in the old 7-6-5-4 triple play and an extra opportunity at the plate for the Red Dragons.Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, email@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/RPritt.

" Brand: Tesco / Subcategory: Bathroom Care / Type: Tissue / Category: Cleaning Products & Utensils > Wipes, Towels, Tissues "
Anyone who reads my reviews on a regular basis will know that I am a frequent Tesco shopper and generally speaking, I rate a lot of their own brand products very highly indeed, as they present both excellent value for money as well as being of very high quality. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, and in this case it is Tesco's Value Toilet Paper. I have tried this once and I can honestly say that I would never buy it again (unless it was an emergency and the world only produced this toilet paper and nothing else).
This toilet paper has been available to buy in Tesco's for ages now and forms part of their bog standard basic range. As such, the packaging of this product is extremely 'no frills' and is plain and simple to look at. The packaging contains no illustrations of little dogs or pictures of soft bottles, instead, it is basically clear and transparent with the Tesco logo and wording on the front.
I paid only 67p for four rolls, which was very competitively priced. The rolls boasted that they are two-ply and as such, I did imagine them to be thicker and more substantial than they actually tuned out to be. These rolls seem very small compared to the usual toilet rolls I buy. They are also rather loosely rolled and I am guessing this is in order to make the rolls not only look larger and after, but also to make the user think that the rolls are soft and bouncy and comfortable on your bot.
This toilet paper is scratchy and rough and feels terrible on your bottom. It is especially uncomfortable of you have the runs and have to keep on popping back to the loo several times in a day and you can end up with a very sore bottom very quickly indeed. The paper is made from 100% recycled materials and it is not the nice white colour of my usual toilet paper, but more of an off-white cream colour with numerous little grey looking flecks in it.
I am afraid that overall I cannot rate this particular toilet paper very highly indeed. It leave me feeling uncomfortable, it feels think and cheap, it's a nasty colour and it's not very absorbent at all and certainly doesn't feel like 'normal' two-ply toilet paper.
Don't go rushing out to buy it.
When it comes to what I wipe my bum on, I have usually tended to buy the cheapest product available due to budget restrictions, and one of the items I have most commonly purchased is Tesco Value Toilet Paper, which costs 67p for 4 rolls, £1.97 for six double length rolls, both of which work out to £0.08 pence per 100 sheets. The fact that I'm listing the price so precisely may seem (pardon the pun) a bit anal but after moving house our budget for grocery shopping was drastically reduced whilst we purchased needed items of furniture, and also due to a tax credits mix up, now resolved.
The tissue is 2 ply, and is a white colour with little specks in it. I believe this toilet paper is recycled, not (heaven forbid) in the sense that someone has wiped with it before, but rather that this is where old copies of the Daily Mail end up (best place for it, in my opinion). It has quite a rough texture, being covered in lots of tiny dimples. I'm not sure what the dimples are for - added grip? Additional scrubby power? Who knows, but the overall effect is that this feels a little rough on my delicate behind, especially after a spicy kebab. It also feels very thin - although it is 2 ply, the 2 layers seem to separate themselves during usage, and one more than one occasion this has resulted in an unfortunate finger incident. Because of this, I felt I had to use more to get the job done properly.
Tesco cunningly place this on the roll quite loosely making them feel soft and squishy if you give them a pinch. They do the job I suppose, and they really helped us make savings when we needed to, but these are not a brand I would use for any other reason than financial necessity. Luckily, our budget has now increased enough for us to purchase the next level up of Tesco tissue, and even to occasionally purchase Andrex from the corner shop in dire emission emergencies.
Overall, I'm going to give this 2 stars. Nobody likes the unfortunate feeling of a finger breaking through, or of trying to soothe the after curry 'ring sting' with something that feels a little like sandpaper. Whilst this probably wins on price-per-poop, it loses to the next level up in softness, appearance, and durability. Not recommended.
I have been trying to keep my shopping costs way down and as a result have been exploring the value ends of supermarket ranges rather than their normal own brands. I also had to make the long trek to the big Tesco to collect some cheesy deliciousness from Bzz and did not have the car to lug a big shop home, as it is down at my Dad's at the moment.
As a result, I saw this tiny four pack of toilet roll. I saw a price of 67p for all four. It was smaller than the usual brands and supermarket packs and as such easy to drag home on foot. I bought it.
And have been regretting it ever since.
The rolls are not as wide as normal, and the shrinking of the product size is not marginal. It is significant and when combined with the thinness of the two-ply paper itself means that even a small person needs three squares where one or two of the good stuff would suffice.
Man Size this most certainly is not.
Children and those with sensitive skin are also likely to protest. My sensitive skin certainly hates it. The paper is scratchy and rough where no one would want scrachy or rough, let alone both.
There is also only 200 sheets per roll, which when added to the mean 115mmx96mm size of the sheets and the thinness of each means that it really does not last, even when there is only one person using it. Family friendly, not so much.
On the upside, the paper is labelled as from responsible sources. However, there are responsible and sustainable toilet paper alternatives which are longer, softer and a lot more comfortable.
The packaging is prettier than the one shown, even if it is a mosiac of people and toilets in blues on white. That is, however, pretty much the only point in this product's favour.
As it fails the most important reason I bought it.
Value For Money.
Which this product does not deliver. You do pay less. You also get a lot less product, have to use more per visit and the experience of using it is not pleasant.
There are better products out there and they can be found at reasonable prices if one hunts for deals. go for those instead. I will in future.
For a long time now I have been using this toilet roll, as I hate the expense of spending on something that to be fair is used for seconds and flushed down the toilet. With some of the more expensive brands I feel like that is exactly what I am doing flushing my hard earned money away.
I started using this when my daughter developed and allergy to the aloe Vera one I used to buy and so many of them seem to have shea butter or other lotions on them that I thought I would just try a plain one and see if that helped. I was really impressed with the price as you get 6 rolls for £1.96 and all the rolls are double length. The tissue itself is quite soft I was expecting the feel of the tracing paper from school days but it did feel nice and like a more expensive brand. It is quite thick and so far I haven't put my fingers through it, which repulses me I like to be able to use a product the purpose intended without it letting me down.
The first week of my daughter using it her rash cleared up and we have never gone back to any other brand. The only criticism I have is my toilet roll holder is quite small so when a new roll is put on it can be a little difficult to get any but that's because they are all double rolls and much thicker than other brands.
I don't find myself using more than I usually would and they seem to last a long time for each roll. This is a great product if your watching the pennies it's cheap and serves the purpose intended. I would also recommend it highly to people with allergies to the lotions that are often put on more expensive brands, as this is a great alternative.
My husband brought back this packet of toilet roll when he went shopping- I knew there was a reason why I normally am the one to go shopping!
He said he bought it because it was very cheap and what was the point in spending more money on something which you just use to flush down the toilet. When we used it we could both see exactly why we do spend money on something which you just flush down the toilet! This toilet tissue is awful!
In the pack you got 12 rolls and it was no frills so the packaging was really boring and the tissue roll was worse. It is kind of off-white in colour which isn't appealing in the first place, it's not as if it's cream but more like a dirty white.
It is very rough to touch, it didn't feel it at first but then when we used it it was. Even blowing our noses on this would hurt as it's so rough, it's definitely not gentle against skin.
The pieces of tissue don't stay together so although it's got two pieces of tissue thick it doesn't really come like this as they fall away from each other. It is also not very absorbent you end up needing to use more of it to make it absorbent but it's also rough so it's not very nice to use at all.
We used this and then didn't buy anymore! It is really not a nice kind of toilet roll at all and I can see why it's mainly only students who buy this now. I guess it's nice that there are cheaper alternatives for people but this isn't something I'll be buying again!
I hate spending a fortune on toilet roll, ever since moving into my own house 4 years ago I have always bought value toilet roll and it has never let me down yet! I pay £1.96 for a pack of 6 toilet rolls, which are actually double length, so you get a lot more on a roll than a normal value range toilet roll.
They come in clear basic packaging, which is easily ripped open, and they are all white, this toilet roll doesn't come in any other colours. The only thing I can fault this toilet roll with is when you start a new roll, it can be quite hard to get the first piece off the start off the roll. It is stuck down so that when you pull on end it ends up tearing through the toilet roll, so you have to gently pull it off the whole way across to avoid this. It can be a bit fiddly at times, but doesn't cause too much hassle.
The actual toilet roll itself is no way near as soft as expensive toilet rolls, but it isn't rough to wipe with either. I don't find it irritates and it doesn't feel uncomfortable to use. I have just got used to it now after using it so many years! I do find though, that you have to use slightly more of this than you would a thicker, more expensive loo roll, you need a lot more for it to absorb well as it is quite thin. We can easily go through a roll a day in our house, sometimes more, so for the price we can't complain with this toilet roll. It is adequate for our needs, it never tears when using it, it doesn't feel amazingly soft when using it, but doesn't feel horrible either, it just does the job we need it to do nicely.
You can also get this toilet roll in a pack of 4, which I don't buy as we go through so many, I think this pack of 4 though is around £1, I am not sure, but very cheap to try if you wanted to. I don't think this toilet roll looks cheap when in my bathroom, it's just a roll of white toilet paper, and you cannot tell it is from the value range at all, although I do use the double length ones which make the rolls a lot bigger, the 4 pack which is not double length, to me does look cheap.
I definitely recommend this toilet roll if you are on a budget, I have never had a problem with it and for less than £2 for 6 good size rolls it is great value and I will continue to purchase in the future!
Every now and then I enter into on a Tesco Value craze, buying everything from the Value range. Usually it's due to a lack of funds - being a student, this is a common scenario - but often I'll buy Value because I feel the quality of a lot of the products isn't actually that bad. When it comes to items like bin bags, cloths, kitchen roll, etc. the quality is completely acceptable, and this is made sweeter by the great prices they're available at.
Tesco Value Toilet Tissue is one of the less appealing items in the range, I'm afraid. In the area of personal hygiene it's quite essential to buy products that work well, and in the case of toilet roll, ones that are soft and comfortable against the skin. These are not comfortable. The tissue fabric is rugged to the touch, lightly corrugated, stiff. It feels dry and unhealthy when pressed against your skin. Similarly, the tissues are not very absorbent and many are needed to successfully clean up a spillage of any kind.
The tissues come in packs of 6 rolls, giving you plenty of the stuff for the price: £1.96, which sounds a lot, but that works out at just 8 pence per 100 sheets! The sheets are small squares and more than one is needed for each wipe, but that is still very cheap in my book! The packaging has changed from that shown in the Dooyoo image. It is still a see-through plastic wrap, but the colouring is light and dark blue instead of red, and small graphics of toilets and other related items have been printed on the front. 'Everyday Value' seems to be the new phrase Tesco have adopted to help promote their cheap alternatives to company brands. Company brands like Velvet and Andrex focus their advertising on telling us how soft and absorbent their tissues are - two descriptives Tesco Value tissues lack considerably.
All in all I am not very impressed with these tissues at all - the only thing they have going for them is their price, and even that could be a little better if I'm complete honest. They are uncomfortable and un-absorbent. They last a long time but something that you don't like lasting a long time isn't particularly a good thing!
PRICE: £1.96 (8 p per 100 sheets)
AVAILABILITY: tesco.com / in stores across the UK.
Toilet paper is one of those things that I hate spending my money on, so I always try and find a god cheap one, rather than paying lots of money for the bigger brands such as Andrex. The problem with this is that a lot of the budget brands of toilet paper are quite thin, so you end up having to use more than you normally would anyway and therefore it doesnt save you any money in the long run as you have to buy twice as much.
This toilet paper is just that - a bit too thin, but then it is tesco everyday value toilet paper afterall - so I dont really know what I was expecting.
I purchased a pack of 6 - which cost me around £1.30 which is very cheap for 6 toilet rolls! The packaging is very basic, clear with the tesco everyday vallue logo on the front. The toilet claims to be 2 ply, which it is (its just quite thin). The one good thing about this toilet paper however is that it is quite soft. Normally I would expect toilet paper so cheap to be a bit on the rough and scratchy side (like the cheap toilet paper you get in public toilets) but this one actually feels quite soft to touch - which is nice.
Overall, although it is really cheap - I wouldnt recommend this toilet paper. I find that it is really thin and that I have to use twice as much as I normally would and therefore it costs me more money in the long run as I have to go out and buy more sooner than I would like. For anyone looking for a bargain toilet paper I would suggest buying 'SpringForce' from tesco. You can't miss it on the shelves it comes in a bright coloured floral packaging - at £1.98 for 9 rolls its a bargain, and its thicker and softer than you would expect!
I give this toilet paper 3 stars - I would have given it two but since it is quite soft I think it deserves 3.
Toilet paper is one of those things that you have to buy on a regular basis, however much money you have (although my friend did tell me a fairly depressing story of being so poor a few years ago that they had to steal toilet paper from their university toilets). Since my flatmates and I are usually fairly strapped for cash, as up till now we've all been students, we tend to prioritise price over quality when it comes to toilet roll. As we lived near Tesco and it was the supermarket we frequented most often, we inevitably gave their value toilet roll a try. As it was almost certainly the cheapest toilet paper available, we could save a lot of money if it was good enough, and so thought that we may as well try it out and see.
== What I Thought ==
We didn't buy it again. While some Tesco Value or Asda Smart Price or other supermarket equivalent items are good and often just as good as more expensive brands (tinned, chopped tomatoes being a perfect example), this toilet roll was clearly poorer value. While it was fully functional, you did have to use more of it than you would better quality toilet paper, which slightly negates the cost benefits. It was also not particularly soft and it was quite uncomfortable to use. While it wasn't as bad as raspy paper you sometimes find in public toilets, it also wasn't as nice as branded toilet paper that emphasises softness.
== Conclusion ==
I was disappointed with this toilet paper and never wanted to use it again. I recently reviewed Springforce toilet roll, which, as well as being very good value at £2 for 9 rolls, is also good quality. At 12 rolls for £1.49 it is very cheap, but it's definitely worth spending a little bit more to have something that's actually decent quality, in my view.
I started buying Tesco value toilet tissue when I went on maternity leave and we had to adjust to being on a much lower income. I thought I'd try cheaper products in the hope that some would be good enough for me to continue buying. I had always bought Andrew toilet roll in the past so this was a big down shift for us and one my husband wasn't particularly keen on. We agreed to use this cheap one just in the downstairs toilet to start with to see how we got on.
Everyday value?
Tesco have recently relaunched their value range as Everyday Value which has meant a changes other than just the improved packaging for this toilet tissue. It used to be available in a 12 pack but now you have the option of a 4 pack or double length 6 pack. I currently have a 4 pack which gives you an average of 200 sheets per roll and each sheet is 2 ply. The sheet size is 115mm x 96mm which is very small when compared to Andrex so you do end up using more. The sheets also feel thin to the touch which again makes you use an extra sheet or 2.
As expected with a value product these toilet rolls are just wrapped in a mainly clear plastic which is easy to tear open. It tells you basic information about the product and has the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) logo on it which guarantees that it comes from a well managed forest.
How soft is it?
I think this toilet tissue is pretty good when it comes to softness, it hasn't got that rough texture to it that you get from some cheap toilet roll which is a definite bonus as I don't think I would have carried on buying it if that had been the case.
Is it strong?
Not really, it starts to disintegrate when it gets wet so it needs to be used and quickly thrown away. The perforations are easily torn apart so no complaints in that area and it is fairly easy to start a new roll by just ripping above where the glue sticks the end down.
Price and Availability
These toilet rolls are available from Tesco stores and Tesco groceries online costing 70p for the 4 pack and £1.96 for the double length 6 pack. The previous 12 pack only used to cost approx £1.49 so not as much of a value product as it used to be!
Would I recommend?
At the previous price I would have recommended but I'll be on the look out for other cheap toilet rolls when I've finished this current pack. These toilet rolls just about do the job.
Although I try and economise wherever I can when doing the weekly shop there are just some products that are essentials and it doesn't pay to scrimp too much. Toilet paper is one of these and although I have previously bought Tesco value toilet paper it turned out to be a false economy and it isn't something that I would really consider buying for the house again.
The Tesco value toilet paper is a lot cheaper than the more premium brands of toilet paper and you do get a lot more in the packet for your money. It costs 70 pence for 4 rolls and has been rebranded as Everyday Value instead of just the old Value branding.
As soon as you touch the paper you can feel the difference in quality between this and the better brands and although it isn't anywhere near as bad as that horrible toilet paper you sometimes find in public toilets it isn't exactly luxurious either.
Using the toilet paper isn't as nice as with other brands either as it is a little rough and scratchy when you wipe yourself with it. It is also really thin and this is my biggest problem with it. Because it is so thin it actually works out as a bit of a false economy as you end up using so much more each time than you would with thicker more luxurious paper. It ends up getting used twice as quickly as more expensive brands so in the end it would probably be better to just pay double and get some nicer toilet rolls.
My kids went through so much of this every time they went to the loo that I was constantly replacing the roll in the holder on a daily basis. They also complained about the feeling of it as they were used to the nicer rolls.
I wouldn't say this is a horrible toilet roll and if money is really tight then using this won't be a complete hardship but if you can afford a little bit more then you can buy some thicker more luxurious rolls that feel nicer to use and last a lot longer than these ones.
I never thought I would write a review on loo roll but here we go ;)
**Price and Availability**
The price seems to vary from North to South and online / offline as far as I can see but at the moment here in Manchester a four roll pack of Tesco Value Toilet Roll costs £1.31. It is also available in a twelve pack.
It is available only instore at Tesco and at Tesco.com (delivery charge applies, minimum spend £25).
Currently in my store it's still packaged and sold as Tesco Value in a clear plastic wrapper with the red and blue Tesco Value logo on it but I've heard they're going to rebrand this 'Everyday Essentials' as they think people are are too embarrassed to buy Tesco Value! Well personally I'm not bothered but looking at Everyday Essentials packaging it is admittedly nicer.
**The Tissue**
Value it's called, and value it looks. It's no 'puppies on a roll', that's for sure, and whilst you expect no gimmicks in a value range item, it's obviously very basic.
It's a two ply tissue, pretty rough feeling, and ever so thin. I generally like to use loo roll for everything (including it's intended purpose, I mean), like blowing my nose, with cleanser to get my eye makeup off, wiping my toddler's face and so on. I can't use Tesco Value Toilet Tissue for that - she visibly winces, it's so rough!
I wouldn't say it has much absorbency either, the net result being that you end up using more and needing to replace it quicker. It's just a cheap tissue, basically, on a roll. I'm no snob but it's too cheap for me.
**What Price Value Anyway?**
At £1.31 for four rolls, is it that cheap? You can buy a three ply loo roll in Poundland for £1 for four rolls, it's a no-brainer. I think sometimes in supermarkets they make things just that much cheaper than the nearest alternative, stick Value or Basics or whatever on the front and money savers will pick them up thinking it's a great deal without really thinking what else is out there. You can get, for example, a 12 roll pack of 'Nifty' three ply loo roll from Home Bargains for £2.99, and a 9 roll pack for £1.99, also at B&M Bargains and Poundstretcher. Sometimes you need to shop around, but you really don't need to compromise on quality to this level just to save a few pounds.
So, to recap - it's not actually amazing value for money. It's incredibly uncomfortable, and in fact such poor quality that you end up using more of it to compensate. I think this product out of all Value products is one of the worst I've used personally. It's just not worth it.
Even if you are on an incredibly small budget, you're a student, you're camping - it's cheaper to go to Poundland and you'll get a better product - it's not often you can say that, but in this case this is true.
If you are absolutely desperate - absolutely - and this is your only option, then yes, it's preferable to no tissue paper, or using newspaper... just!!
I am not an overly fussy person about what type of toilet roll I use as it is always going to be for the same purpose, and at the end of the day, it's only going to be flushed down the loo! I normally buy a supermarket own brand toilet roll but a few weeks ago I thought I would try the Value version. After all, we're all tightening our belts in life at the moment!
The toilet rolls are packaged in a very thin soft plastic packet. It is very easy to tear through the pack to get to the rolls. The pack contains 4 toilet rolls and there are 400 sheets on each roll. The cost for the 4 rolls is £1.31 so it is quite cheap compared to other brands. However, I do think the cost of the product might explain the poor quality of the paper. As I said earlier, I'm not that fussy when it comes to the paper, but I also don't want to use something that is quite nasty to use. The rolls are 2 ply but feel so thin to the touch. You might end up using more sheets of this roll than you would a normal one which defeats the object in paying a cheaper price for the roll as you will get through it quicker.
The paper looks quite rough and if you look closely you can see little flecks in the paper. There were funny creases throughout all of the rolls which I couldn't understand. They felt very rough in my hands and not soft at all. The paper is so weak that it disintegrates as soon as it is wet.
I find that the quality of this paper is very poor, it is not worth paying the cheaper price as you end up using more paper. It just wasn't a good experience and I won't be purchasing again.
For a long while when me and my husband did the weekly shop we would always buy Tesco discount brand toilet roll, I refuse to spend out a lot of money on something that just gets flushed down the toilet, however one week they had sold out of the discount version so we had to buy an alternative. After looking along the shelves a lot of the brands were very expensive and in my opinion a total waste of money, then I spotted Tesco Value Toilet Roll, I suggested it to my husband who wasn't keen on the idea of trying it but it was either that or spend more on a different brand so we decided to give it a go, after all if we really hated it we could use it up and buy our regular brand once they had it in stock.
The packaging of Tesco Value \Toilet Roll is very basic and blends in with the rest of the Value Range. The toilet rolls come tightly wrapped in a clear plastic wrapper sealed at the top and bottom to keep the toilet rolls inside clean. The wrapper then has a red band going around the whole of the packet, the Tesco Value logo appears in the top left hand corner. Written inside the red band going around the packet are the words "Toilet Tissue" along with the amount of rolls in the packet and the amount of sheets you get per roll. In the bottom right hand corner is the FSC logo which is a blue square shape with the white outline of a tree in it and the initials FSC, this logo means that by buying this product you are supporting the growth of responsible forest management around the world. On the back of the packet is a small amount of information about the Tesco Value Toilet Rolls, this is clearly set out and easy to read.
Tesco Value Toilet Rolls are nothing fancy at all, they have no pattern on them and make no claims to be quilted or contain aloe vera, all you get with these is a pack of four plain white 2 ply toilet rolls, the toilet tissue comes wrapped around a plain brown cardboard tube, the same as most brands of toilet rolls do. I think you can buy six packs of Tesco Value Toilet Rolls, however my local Tesco only stocks the four pack which is plenty for us. Each roll contains approximately 400 sheets each, to be honest I'm not sure if this is standard or not I cannot remember how many sheets my regular brand contains and I cannot say that I have really studied other brands to see how many sheets they have per roll but going on appearance alone the rolls do look to be a standard size for a toilet roll.
When we first tried the Tesco Value Toilet Rolls I was expecting them to be quite hard and rough feeling, however I was pleasantly surprised at how soft they were, obviously the sheets of toilet tissue were not quilted or anything, however they were not rough at all. The toilet tissue is absorbent and does not fall apart as soon as it is used, that was my other worry with it, I did think you may have to use a large amount in one go just to stop it from falling apart, however this was not the case, you could easily use just a few sheets at a time as you can with the more expensive toilet rolls. All in all I was very pleased with the softness of the toilet rolls and how well they performed in doing what they are supposed to.
The Value Toilet Roll obviously can only be purchased from Tesco, the pack of four costs just £1.31. For such a cheap price this is an excellent product, the pack of four rolls lasts just as long as the more expensive brands, obviously this depends on how often you use it and how much you use at a time but personally I have been impressed with how long it lasts. Personally I think this is a real bargain and excellent value for money.
I would definitely recommend Tesco Value Toilet Roll, it is a good quality product for a very low price, at the end of the day toilet roll just gets flushed down the toilet so I will not spend a massive amount of money on it, however with this one you get a good quality product for very little money. It is soft and absorbent and does not feel rough or hard at all, I am more than happy to have this in my bathroom. The product does not make any claims to be quilted or anything like that, it is just a basic but decent toilet roll, it also only comes in white, however for me this is not a problem as I only ever buy white toilet paper but if you prefer a different colour to match the colour scheme of your bathroom then this is not ideal as it only comes in the one colour. . Overall I was extremely pleased that I decided to give this a go and I have purchased it ever since, we will continue to use Tesco Value Toilet Roll and would recommend it to anyone.
When it comes to buying toilet roll I humbly admit to being a bit of a cheap skate. My Mother for years only bought (and still does) the best and I got used to it but now I live alone I refuse to pay pounds for something to basically wipe my bottom on however don't get me wrong I don't at the same time want something so bad it scrapes my skin off either!
I do alot of my weekly shopping in Tesco and this is the toilet rolls I have been using now pretty much for the past two years, till I found a better toilet roll in Poundland recently that is and I've swapped over to th!
The Packaging:
The packaging is very basic but of course this is a 'Value' product and I always bought a 4 pack of the toilet rolls which set me back £1.31 a time. The packaging is mainly see through plastic with red, white and blue colouring on it and on the front of it we are basically told that it it Tesco 'Value', 4 Rolls X 400 sheets and then on the back of the packaging we are told that it is 2 ply and contact details for Tesco are given. Like I say this is basic packaging but easy enough to get into etc and informative enough.
The Toilet Rolls Themselves:
These are pretty much standard sized toilet rolls, 2 ply as promised and on cardboard centres. They are smooth and the 2 plys stick together well enough, tear off simply enough and are soft to the touch. Using them, well come on you use them as you would any other toilet roll (lol), it doesn't disintegrate when in use and flushes with complete ease.
My Verdict:
I don't think this is bad loo roll at all for the money, I certainly didn't have any quibbles with it I only changed due to finding a better deal somewhere else and the one I use now is a little softer however I would happily use this again. If your looking for a silky soft, satin feel or cushioned toilet tissue then no this won't be for you! Its simply a plain, ok quality tissue paper that dos the job!
Only available in Tesco stores.

Conger's throwing woes have club looking for backup
Lachemann hopes third time the charm at Classic
PHOENIX -- The Angels, looking to potentially upgrade their depth behind the plate, are in search of a veteran backup catcher, an industry source confirmed to MLB.com on Saturday. Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com first reported the Angels' interest.
Hank Conger, 25, came into camp as the clear-cut favorite to back up Chris Iannetta and has hit well, batting .417 with two homers and 11 RBIs. But his throwing woes -- he made three errant throws on Saturday, upping his spring total to at least five -- have prompted the Angels to look outside the organization in hopes of adding coverage.
With rosters being pared down, the Angels will look to the waiver wire to try to add a steady, inexpensive, veteran presence behind the plate, and they have an open spot on the 40-man roster. But the Phillies, Pirates and Rays are also looking for catching help, according to MLB.com's Peter Gammons.
Ramon Hernandez is an interesting candidate. He's owed $3.2 million in 2013, but the Rockies want to move him and may be willing to eat some of that salary in exchange for pitching help. Rod Barajas and Wil Nieves are both competing to be Miguel Montero's backup in Arizona, and the one who loses out could be made available. The same is happening at Royals camp, with Brett Hayes and George Kottaras both out of options and fighting for the backup spot behind Salvador Perez.
And, of course, a host of others could pop up on the waiver wire within the next couple of weeks.
The Angels still believe in Conger, a very solid hitter who has improved on his footwork and receiving skills. So in the event of an acquisition, they're likely to option him to Triple-A so he can find the consistent release point that has eluded him. This is Conger's last option year.
John Hester (on the 40-man) and Luke Carlin (a non-roster invitee) are the other two catchers technically vying for the backup job, but both have been inconsistent in the Majors throughout their careers.

Some human experiences are inevitable, and they inevitably bring books. The focus might shift, but the topics of death, grief, and aging never go away. Today, as baby boomers age, these books are finding even more readers seeking comfort, guidance, and encouragement.
Benedictine nun Joan Chittister writes an overarching book on life milestones with For Everything a Season (Mar.). Using timeless verses from Ecclesiastes, Chittister writes that meaning and fullness exist in all moments, according to publisher Robert Ellsberg: "We tend to focus on the highlights of our life, whether the happy moments or the moments of joy, but those are inextricably intertwined with the dry moments of grief and sadness."
While books on aging, caring for aging parents, death and dying, and grief have always found an audience, interest in life passage books has increased as boomers age and their parents are living longer, affirms Dawn Woods, publisher of Christian living and gift books at B&H Publishing. She cites National Alliance for Caregiving data that estimates 65 million people in the U.S. are unpaid family caregivers.
"As a Christian publisher, we're looking for more ways to inspire and get [people] through," Woods says, adding that highly personal books sell well. B&H's titles on coping include Melissa (June) by Frank Page, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention (with Lawrence Kimbrough), about the suicide of Page's adult daughter.
Says Tamara Crabtree, executive director of marketing for Abingdon Press, "The experiences of our authors are compelling them to write around these milestones in their lives." Abingdon is publishing Moving Miss Peggy by Robert Benson (May), about his family coping with his mother's dementia. This summer Thomas Nelson publishes Walk Through the Dark by Eva Piper with Cecil Murphey (July). The book tells Piper's side of the story of her husband, Don, who was hospitalized, died, and returned, as told with Murphey in the megaselling 90 Minutes in Heaven (Revell, 1994).
In Love Growing Older, but I'll Never Grow Old (Abingdon, Apr.), J. Ellsworth Kalas addresses learning to "make peace with where you are right now." Donald Hilliard Jr., presiding bishop of Covenant Ecumenical Fellowship and Cathedral Assemblies Inc., writes with Rhoda McKinney-Jones about his journey past 40 in Midlife, Manhood, and Ministry (Judson Press, Apr).
Reflections on Bereavement
Stories about great suffering attract readers by offering comfort and insight into how others survive terrible situations, notes Dave Lewis, executive v-p of sales and marketing for Baker Publishing Group. In A Force of Will (Baker Books, Mar.), pastor Mike Stavlund explores his struggles after his four-month-old son's sudden death. Stavlund hated what books on loss had to say. "He felt like nobody was being real with him," says Lewis, describing Stavlund's as "a very honest book."
Taylor's Gift (Revell, Apr.) by Todd and Tara Storch, with Jennifer Schuchmann, tells of the death of the Storches' 13-year-old daughter, Taylor, in a skiing accident and the donation of her organs to five people. The publisher sends out media kits with a bottle of nail polish in Taylor's favorite shade of blue. "Because of the organ donation, we're getting quite a strong media backing on this book," Lewis says.
New books from other publishers include Life After Death by Elizabeth Bookser Barkley (Franciscan Media, Apr.), on widowhood; North of Hope by Shannon Huffman Polson (Zondervan, Apr.), about the author's travels to the site in Alaska where a grizzly bear killed her parents; and Grieving the Loss of a Loved One by H. Norman Wright (Regal, June).
Joseph Durepos, executive editor for trade acquisitions at Catholic publisher Loyola Press, says, "What we're seeing right now is a lot more interest in what we and others in the business call second-half-of-life spirituality."
Loyola's titles include Rock-Bottom Blessings by Karen Beattie (Feb.), Love and Salt by Amy Andrews and Jessica Mesman Griffith (Jan.), and A Season of Mystery by Paula Huston (2012). Long after Joseph Cardinal Bernardin's death, the memoir of his final days, The Gift of Peace (1998), continues to sell.
"One of the things about the second half of life is that everything that was black and white when you were younger becomes less so," Durepos says, and life's troubles teach many to "see the world with a little more mercy, a little more charity."

Hello guys.
In last build, is included a new Spanish scraper by Jurrabi. This scraper uses http://www.culturalianet.com
I tried this, and I found this web page hasn't enough information. I decided then making a new scraper using http://www.filmaffinity.com web page. This scrapper supports all of this:
- Title
- Plot
- Outline (when available for the movie)
- Year
- Director
- Country and original version title (used mpaa tagline for this)
- Credits
- Genre
- Nominations, Oscars, and other prices (used mpaa field for this)
- Rating
- Votes
- Runtime
- Actor name
I think that it could be useful adding it to next releases.
Where can I post the xml file and the gif file?
Best Regards.

I don't know how submit a patch. I have posted here a link to download. Guys, try to test it and evaluate. I think that it is very good. I haven't found a movie that dont' work with this scraper.
The only problem I have found, and I don't know how to solve it, is that don't work when the search string contains ñ, á, é, í, ó and ú. you mast search using n, a, e, i, o and u.
If anybody knows how to fix, please, tell me.
I am waiting your comments.
- spiff - 2007-03-26 15:44
sounds like encoding issues to me. make sure you properly specify utf vs not in your returned xml's.
- spiff - 2007-03-27 19:03
seems to be working fine. i'll hold off a couple of days to see if you nail that issue, then i'll commit to svn.
problems with ñ - HectorziN - 2007-03-29 09:03
the problem is that xbmc transforms ñ to ñ
In culturalianet.com, a search to ñ works, but filmaffinity.com needs to receive %F1.
The problem is that is xbmc who send ñ to the parer, then the parser cannot do anything with this.... This is what I think is happening.
Here is the log
INFO: Get URL: http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/search.php?stext=cuando+llama+un+extraño&stype=title
if you paste this url into internet explorer it won't find anything, but if you paste http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/search.php?stext=cuando+llama+un+extra%F1o&stype=title then it will work. How can this be fixed?
- spiff - 2007-03-29 12:32
we need some way for the scraper to say that it wants iso not utf chars. will have a crack at it later.
- HectorziN - 2007-03-29 13:48
OK, thanks, I'll wait for the new scraper functionallity
- HectorziN - 2007-04-03 17:03
Any progress
is there a new definition of scraper languaje to explicit if dthe search using utf or iso?
Thanks a lot.
Also, anyone has test this scrapper? what do you think?
- HectorziN - 2007-08-10 15:46
Hello spiff.
it will be abailable anything to select utf or iso when searching?
if not. I think that we could include the filmaffinity scrapper anyway. what do you thing?
- spiff - 2007-08-10 16:00
oh my. this was an old one biting me
had forgotten all about this. i suggest we stick it in svn as is, then i'll look into a fix when i have the time
- HectorziN - 2007-08-10 16:36
how can I stick it in svn?
- spiff - 2007-08-10 16:48
submit it as a patch on sf.
i will do the sticking
- HectorziN - 2007-08-10 17:27
Sorry, I submited it, but assigned to nobody, I should mismatch this field...
I suppouse I should submitted it to you.

eUS in the Circle of Trust
New Faustian Man
First however, let me say that the lack of any sort of consultation with the eUS people on any meaningful level prior to the eUS joining CoT as a trial member is massively disappointing! Joining an alliance isn't like signing an MPP, nor even like foisting an unpopular NE law on the country and forcing us to war – this is joining an alliance and committing the nation to fighting for a select bunch of countries (most of whom are longtime enemies) possibly for the next 2 years or more! Its pretty standard in this game for a country to host some sort of poll or referendum to gauge public opinion prior to making huge moves like leaving and/or joining an alliance, and the eUS's failure in this regard is unfortunately going to have major ramifications down the line – and give legitimacy to the type of criticism that will view this move as undemocratic, illegal and negotiated under-the-table because the presiding powers knew that if they ever dared propose it to the eUS public it'd more than likely get the thumbs down. So not exactly an auspicious start as far as I'm concerned.
As such, this whole enterprise is pretty tenuous as things stand. Which is a shame, because the eUS joining Circle of Trust has some real merits, not the least of which is that the Three-Major-Alliances dream could actually come to fruition. Its just a shame the whole process took place behind closed doors as all this really does is lend some serious ammo to the detractors.
Despite having said the above I'd also like to categorically state that I'm not overwhelmingly in the AGAINST camp, nor am I all FOR the eUS's move into Circle of Trust.
I'm not 100% AGAINST it because I'm of the opinion this game is crying out for three separate alliances that can hold their own against each other. It was the main reason I was originally in support of CTRL – splitting Serb-Polish Damage always made sense – and with Circle of Trust I believe the eWorld has another (much better) chance of establishing a multi-polar world as opposed to the bi-polar slugfest in the ONE vs. EDEN/TERRA, or EDEN vs. CoTWO mould.
However I couldn't describe myself as overwhelmingly in support of Circle of Trust either -- not as thing's stand. I don't know what this eUS administration have been told by CoT HQ as regards the sharing of TWO and CoT MPPs – are they planning to renew them indefinitely? – and considering the outright lies the eUS public were force-fed by repeated eUS administrations regarding MPPs and suchlike during the CTRL debacle, I think I'll wait for CoT HQ to make a statement on whether MPPs are going to be indefinitely maintained with TWO countries before I definitively make a decision in this regard. But I think this is a MAJOR issue which needs resolved if Circle of Trust is really going to move forward as a bona fide alliance.
Oops! Someone's failed to master their mechanisation
Ideologically, Circle of Trust shares much in common with EDEN in its formative days: when all members had something like equal say, when Damage was distributed to those who needed it and not based on some unspoken hierarchy that many accuse EDEN of operating today.
The odd thing is that the Circle of Trust ethos finds its direct antithesis not in modern EDEN (despite its faults) -- but in the imperial ambitions of Poland-Serbia-Hungary. CoT and TWO are allied out of convenience, otherwise they are diametrically opposed on all levels. TWO is merely ONE MarkII, existing for one reason and one reason only: bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion etc. Whilst CoT (if you believe the hype) professes to be the complete opposite: a community of allies, were each has equal say and nothing is dependent on a country's size.
On the surface then -- taking the above into account -- eUSA joining Circle of Trust has incredible potential. Not only does it offer eUS players (many of whom are from established CoT nations) something exciting to play for in this game once more, but it goes a huge way to stabilizing Circle of Trust as a genuine alliance, which until now – considering its reliance on TWO, specifically Serbian Damage – it could never in all seriousness claim.
For me personally its this last point which all things hinge on: Circle of Trust must assume a policy that views both EDEN and TWO in the same light, ultimately as enemies pursuing different objectives.
Everything else that's cited as reason why the eUS shouldn't ally with Circle of Trust pales next to this point.
I have no problem with the eUS allying with longtime enemies like eIndo and eF.Y.R.Macedonia; wars with eIndo have always been fun, without any of the real nasty subtext we sometimes have when fighting against other nations; and I don't see coming into alignment with them such a massive problem (ignoring their TWO MPPs for the moment). The situation with eF.Y.R.Macedonia is different but not massively so, its true that the eUS have fought eF.Y.R.Macedonia relentlessly over the past two-plus years, but its also true the eUS has so much more to gain by improving relations with eF.Y.R.Macedonia than it does continuing to perceive them a stooge of Serbia.
F.Y.R. Macedonia: Because FCUK Polish 10/10s
eF.Y.R.Macedonia's outspoken criticism of ePoland over the last few months was incredibly refreshing, and a real change of tack for an old ONE stalwart, none of whom are exactly renowned for criticizing each other publically, we usually have to wait for the "secret" logs to surface before we'd find out what they really thought of each other. And for me eF.Y.R.Macedonia's criticism of ePoland pretty much epitomized what I already knew of the Circle of Trust, were the ethos is equality of all members, no alliance-within-the-alliance, and as it says in the Circle of Trust charter: "to help [all Circle of Trust] states reach and maintain the optimal shape of their economy and the economy of the alliance as a whole."
I think the eUS's smooth assimilation into Circle of Trust may be hampered not by the powerhouses like eIndonesia or eF.Y.R.Macedonia but rather with some of the smaller founder CoT members, specifically New Zealand. I don't know what the break down is in New Zealand between RL Kiwis and RL Serbs, but for all intent's and purposes – going by what recent eUS administrations designate a 'PTO' – New Zealand is under PTO. And has been pretty much since it was added in 2010. How the eUS can successfully ally with a Serb-colony like New Zealand remains to be seen.
TWO-CoT Split: Bulgaria and Serbia
Any division between Circle of Trust and TWO is probably going to have its genesis in deteriorating relations between Bulgaria and Serbia. Bulgaria is the CoT powerhouse, and Serbia due to position, is the TWO country that presents the biggest threat to it and CoT generally.
However, after Bulgaria left EDEN they got almost immediate support from Serbia and ONE against Turkey/EDEN -- when Serbia/ONE could easily have rolled Bulgaria over for its own gain. So this is not an MPP Bulgaria are going to walk away from any time soon.
Because Serbia is better!
And why would they?
Serbia, since regaining Aquitaine, has returned to its place as the undisputed military powerhouse in all of Erepublik. So why would Bulgaria wish to throw away an ally like this? If they were forced to choose between the eUS and eSerbia they'd be choosing between a weaker, distant, fair-weather friend like the eUSA over the most powerful e-nation in the game that, incidentally, just happens to share a border with them.
Not exactly a tough choice as far as I can see.
And yet Bulgaria's plans to move its capital to somewhere in Arabia does suggest it may already be preparing to put some distance between itself and Serbia and the EDEN powerhouses.
Only time will tell.
Another Problem: Different Loyalties within the eUS
According to Erepublik the eUS has 8646 citizens, whereas egov4you recognizes 5,320 (4.22% of world) as legitimate citizens and of these, 2,262 as regular fighters.
Currently, the eUS's officially funded military is comprised of the following:
- SEAL Team 6 - 133
- The Special Forces - 117
- Ultramarines - 74
- Rogue Squadron - 65
- Air Force - 173
That's 562 soldiers which receive direct funding/supply from the eUnited States government. If we go by Erepublik's pop. statistic that's just over 10% of the population, but going by the egov4you stat – in all likelihood the more accurate figure – of regular fighters (2,262) it follows that approximately 24.8% of the eUS populace adhere to orders that come straight from the office of the commander-in-chief. 24.8% isn't a bad figure, especially not if we factor in the kind of Damage this percentage regularly do, however it does ask certain questions of the kind of pull US presidents have outside the official eUS military structure, and the continuing and deeply divisive problems the eUS is experiencing.
Exactly how much does CoT HQ know of the kind of structural problems existing within the eUS in regards the different bodies that determine where eUS Damage goes? Have they been briefed regarding the eUS Military's position, which remains pro-EDEN and intends to continue assisting the eUS's traditional allies?
It would be wrong to class the eUS as simply 'divided' -- it's a true democracy and as such entertains a myriad of political opinions, which is only proper. However this also means no political body -- not even the president -- can really claim to speak for the nation as a whole, not without first soliciting the feeling of the populace.
Until the the current president does this, and allows the populace to vote either Yay or Nay I'd don't really see this application to CoT as in any way legitimate. And I think if the players who make up the memberbase of CoT knew the truth of what's going on, that they'd see it in the same way.
Hong Kong! Because being allied with eTaiwan for 2 years < eSouth Korea for 24hours = means lets wipe eTaiwan
Enjoy the girl!
As ever, thanks for taking the time to read,
Great article! And excellent analysis of the internal relationships inside each alliance.
So what I read was eBulgaria is eSerbia's bitch and eUS is a pushover and can't fight FYROM to save their lives
I hope more people would read the WHOLE article. It presents good points, but I am still on the opinion that Serbia is a too big straw inside your eye : /
Yes, Serbia helped Bulgaria in a vital moment and we wouldn't end this mutual protection pact. But if you check out the current campaigns, you will see that TWO is fighting for CoT to a considerable extent and has CoD set to a CoT-campaign for quite the time.
But you are totally right - the USA would equal the powers of the three alliances with Brazil and Russia being the only big countries to stay neutral.
I know USA citizen have problems with some CoTWO representatives, but I also know that such a change would be wind of change in the good meaning of the phrase. If you can deal with that internally, of course : D
@ Centurion - we are nobody's bitch, I think we made that clear with the EDEN-Turkish affair : )
Come on America you are letting me down!
Why are you guys such cowards on this game? I swear I would probably be upset to call myself an American on this game even though I am damn proud in real life. Grow some balls buds!
Nice article. Of course, there are probably others PoV. Anyway, I like your analyzing and you got my vote. Shouted, too. : )
well written, It does present an objective view of the whole situation, it does change us from the usual propaghanda we get fed.
"TWO is merely ONE MarkII, existing for one reason and one reason only: bonuses, expansion, bonuses, expansion..."
well.... m8... this is a goal of this game. You can`t blame TWO for those reasons
NIce article.... btw 🙂
Faust writes amazing articles, love reading them.
I would have thought CoT would request a referendum before allowing trial members to join.
"well.... m8... this is a goal of this game. You can`t blame TWO for those reasons"
Nice goal, enjoy your bonus obsessed "friends".
there never was and never will be "3 alliances" CoT is already a servant of ONE , its just convenient way of some countries not to be "directly" allied with in this case Serbia/Hungary/Poland, but being allied via "servant" alliance like this is basically same thing...
so good job phoenix/peace/one/two with creating all of these sub-servant alliances and with constantly changing your alliance name just to full *umb people
Zelja, CoT is not a servent alliance to ONE/TWO, sure it's dependant on TWO for dmg but that's because EDEN focuses to fight against CoT 99% of the time.
You keep on barking and barking against evil ONE/TWO but you rarely if ever fight against them.
Read this article, it might open your eyes about certain things.
I think you should be neutral because you have some problems with allies of CoT, and maybe with eNZ, and this will only worsen your relations...
Good luck in CoT!
CoT and TWO will stay friendly as long as EDEN exists... As simple as that. You can't expect that some war opens between CoT and TWO because EDEN would gain upper hand and that is what both alliances don't want.
Also as long as you see comments like this from Zelja coming from other EDEN players you are sure that no one will ever look at EDEN as neutral alliance....
Great article although the situation in NZ isnt really much of a PTO. Ask any RL kiwi what they think about eSerbs controlling alot of their country and they would say "I don't mind".
well... I know its pain in the ars when you dont have bonuses... and I`am understand your pain, but point is that having 10/10 bonuses does not mean that we dont have brotherhood in TWO. It`s just oposite.
The US is too ambitious to be in an alliance like CoT. There will be a severe lack of balance. I'm upset that the US seemed to have learned the wrong lesson from the CTRL failure. The lesson learned wasn't "don't create a new alliance", but rather "don't team up with other overly-ambitious countries (Spoland)" The US making this decision has let me down once more, proving that you all would rather take the easy route, than establish a new alliance that you can be a core part of.
I shouldn't say "You all" though, as the people unfairly didn't get a say in this.
Regardless, great article. Voted
oh look a guy from poland and a guy from bulgaria claiming cot is not a servant but "friend" of two , how weird and unexpected !!!
you support this "third" alliance bs only bcs ONE controls it...
for me the real "third" alliance should cut the ties with both EDEN and ONE , but ofc that wont happen , since this game cannot support more then two alliances...
every "3rd" alliance is going to pick between "joining" ONE or EDEN, in this case ONE since weak alliances always chose who ever is strongest in the time of their creation
I think it is more likely that the USA will be indirectly pro-TWO than every member of CoT will swap to being pro-EDEN. Bulgaria isn't going to ally with Turkey, Macedonia with Greece and so on. The world will never be tripolar, if you are fighting Serbia/Hungary/Macedonia you'll definitely be wanting a Croatian/Romanian/Greek MPP and so on.
"I think it is more likely that the USA will be indirectly pro-TWO"
lol "more likely", this whole alliance (ctrl was similar idea) is created just for this purpose, just a way for ONE to get the damage of countries who cannot join them directly bcs some of ONE full members wouldnt allow them, or in case of USA where population still dont wanna be directly tied to Serbia/Hungary/PL..
you can pretend not to get that, or lie ? (or maybe you are just **mb) , but thats the simple and blatant truth
The world won't be tri-polar, but with CoT WE can be on top of the world! Let's face it, no time soon will we go on a massive campaign against Serbia. We really don't give a rat's ass about Hungary.
So let's do what we can and leave the Serb-hating for later!
I read to the part where you start making the assumptions that CoT needs the USA to legitimize itself and realized there is no point continuing.
You definitely have no grasp on things and no grasp on alliances nor the relations between them. EDEN is very much alike to TWO in the sense you describe, bonuses-expansion, bonuses-expansion.
Truth of the matter is, USA has no other alliance it can turn to and it is the one in need of legitimization after the nonstop failure to demonstrate any cohesive position on the international scene for more then 1 year.
Going in with demands, what CoT should or shouldn't do is paramount to delusional arrogance which is very much prevalent in another former alliance of the USA still existing today, but also to some extent can be found in TWO, though much less then in the previous incarnation ONE.
CoT is there, it now has a long track record and it has a style of play and engagement that it has set. Get on board or go your own way, don't demand everyone to adhere to you.
Keep in mind that this alliance is giving the USA a chance even though as we speak large numbers of americans disregard it's government and hypocritically continue to fight against CoT countries while stating that TWO is the antichrist they strive to eliminate.
I'll read the rest of the article later....maybe
EDEN focus on CoT is something I resisted from the beginning. I thought there was no reason to lead an assault on multiple fronts on Bulgaria as soon as it had left the alliance other than to punish them, which serves absolutely no strategic purpose.
However, the saying "it takes two to tango" is applicable now. CoT is not forced into its anti-EDEN, dependent on TWO position. Serbia and Poland enjoy full bonus while CoT and EDEN smash each other to bits, and issues the two hyperpowers have with individual CoT members are swept under the carpet while they can keep EDEN as the boogeyman.
Another problem, you assume things of Bulgaria which are untrue. If Bulgaria was interested in damage alone it would have never left EDEN and never founded an alliance with Switzerland and Chile (who at the time were all of 300-400 players).
The argument that the president needs to legitimize himself to the masses is as fallible as the premise that CoT needs to legitimize itself to the USA and to the world through the acceptance of the USA.
Your president was elected with a platform stating this course of action, she went through a primary and won there too. There is a clear and precise legitimation there. The question weather people ill choose partisan politics over the international reputation of the country as well as migrants choose allegiance to their homeland over their adoptive land is a entirely different proposition.
The test here is not on CoT and it is not on Bulgaria, the test is on USA to see heather it can be a team player again, weather it can reintegrate itself into transnational structures which an alliance is or it will continue with it's head in the sand internal ajay bruno soap opera to no end.
Actually the only reason he has any political power is that USA has no choosen a clear path and so he has free choice into recruiting all sort of opportunists from all countries to help him with his delusional ambitions.
EDEN countries have declared NE on TWO countries maybe half a dozen times over the last 1.5 years, not counting small countries like Portugal which get deleted over and over again.
On the other hand they have declared NE to CoT countries probably over 60-70 times in that period. Argentina was trying to permanently occupy 4 CoT member countries in South America for a long time. Taiwan has occupied and tried to keep perma occupied for over a year two other members of the alliance.
Romania and Croatia attempted to perma occupy Indonesia and in Europe the only countries Greece and Turkey have declared war to are Bulgaria and occasionally Macedonia.
For the last 1.5 years there is the nonstop rhetoric against TWO, however EDEN only fights against TWO when attacked and always attacks CoT, which in-turn defends itself.
Simply put the only defensive alliance right now is CoT, which has gone on the offensive against EDEN to perserve it's ability to wage war.
The world will never be tri-polar because no single alliance will ever take on another without the interference of the third. EDEN attacks CoT, TWO defends CoT, EDEN loses. CoT attacks TWO, EDEN supports CoT, TWO loses. It looks tri-polar but it snaps back into the bipolar model as soon as the first NE is declared.
@eRichard Parker: I read your article and found it interesting. Thanks for it. But are you now suggesting that CoT would leave EDEN alone if these current wars are closed? Because I don't think so, and that is what I mean by "it takes two to tango".
After 1.5 years being assaulting someone and especially when CoT was small and vulnerable, you do tend to incite a motivation in them to fight you.
Still Chile offered a NAP to Argentina, something Argentina tough unreasonable (even for congres) not to offer but to accept for any of the smaller countries around it. They refused they prefer to keep on fighting, so the fighting will turn again at some point and we're back to the same place.
When was the last time EDEN made a real effort to take the fight to TWO, be honest and don't give as example a single RW in Dalmatia or a bunch of RWs started after Serbia or Poland attacked someone.
It's simple, the CoT is puppet to TWO propaganda is needed to keep other countries from fleeing EDEN side, but it is still not enough and more and more countries not only leave the alliance but also leave EDEN sphere, some are willing to even sign treaties with Poland and Serbia like France, Germany and Netherlands.
EDEN sacrifices it's small-countries to TWO so that it can occupy CoT small countries for resources, this is the grand strategy and this forces CoT to seek assistance from TWO which on their end are forced to grant, because otherwise after that EDEN will come to deny them their resources. In the end CoT is the battlefield and is the one growing.
USA has been absorbed for way too long into it's own internal affairs that it has lost connection with the rest and still is looking upon other countries through some prism of years past. Why has Turkey never been criticized for attacking allies and pro EDEN countries just for resources, or Greece for it's bonus colonies or Argentina for it's empire.
There is this total and non stop propaganda for years now against Serbia and Poland but others who have done the same remain little angels......
So we can agree that for the reasons you gave about our antagonistic history, CoT is not interested in coming to any understanding with EDEN, which makes all this utterly pointless. I think bipolar world it will be, until the faultlines between CoT and TWO finally erupt, and then it will briefly be uncertain, before shifting to a different alignment.
The world will never be tri-polar because no single alliance will ever take on another without the interference of the third. +1
What I know is that the world will never be bipolar again, it is not bipolar even now. There are many complex relations that get juggled and will continue to be juggled.
This will only continue in the future.
As for Cot and EDEN, well Argentina will loose it's imperial delusions at some point just as all other EDEN countries have over time and so the war will become more normal just as it has between Romania and Hungary. Then the relations will change somewhat.
As for the rest, there is really no way to know what CoT will do in a situation where it isn't under assault as it has never been in such a situation, so we can only wait and see, it will arrise sooner or later, the alliance is not going away anytime soon. EDEN couldn't destroy it when it was young and fragile let alone now.
Excellent piece NFM; I appreciate your thoughts regarding the current administration's implementation of CoT here in the eUSA.
One point though regarding eUSA population I believe the official numbers are exaggerated... The way I've always thought of a more realistic number is taking the average of the last three presidential election total votes column then reducing it by 10% for bots/multis/whatnot.
This would leave roughly 2000 at best; and of the 550 or so in MU's that receive funding probably less than half receive true benefit so only the top 10% of the tanks seem funded (roughly 200 of the 2000 by my estimates.

Btw, I think I won an autographed Danny photo... I correctly guessed the Pacers highest scoerer AND how many points.
Danny with 22

We just beat the best team in the NBA on their home floor where they were undefeated, and we were on the 2nd night of a back to back. That's as tough a win as there is to get and we got it. Great freakin job closing out in Chicago where we just could not do it last year. I'm still shaking and I need to calm down and get to sleep but I don't care because WE WON!!!!
way to get the joke
also, someones opinion of how good the team is does not affect how much of a fan they are. you would understand that if you were not 15.
we are inconsistent. this win doesnt change that opinion.
No. You said the exact opposite.
We're quite good though
You left out the part where they are a division rival. Very, very satisfying victory.
Well that's my point, I rather have anybody but Scalabrine beat us with a last second shot.
Were you the first one? It seems that autographs would be cheap enough they could give out a couple if multiple people got it right.
We are so much better this season and we finished strong and closed it out.
Great to see a win in the first meeting with the Bulls this season to show how much better we are.
After a loss the previous game, we haven't missed a beat the next game.
We are a true contending team.
Shove that one in your pipe Stacey King. "Bigger, better, stronger, better, D-Rose". Well guess what? you lost.
Now. Can anyone tell me how I can get the Pacers broadcast on my league pass all the time? is it possible?
Great win. D-West was big in the 4th. Team effort again.
This was all about mental toughness.
Just think how good Paul George is going to be in two seasons

We will likely lose in Boston this time... I just struggle seeing us get the best of them over and over and over again...
But we likely get our revenge on the Magic after that.
Not worried about the loss. Hansbrough will get something coming sooner or later.
Quote from a bulls fan on Realgm. Reminds me why I love Hans!! NOONE wants to play against him.
Also, I hope we can put the Sixers to rest. They just lost to the Nets at home.
Great start toward winning the season series with Chicago!
Hopefully Frank threw his changes made before the West coast swing in the trash for good because this second half was played like the early season Pacers.
Got to the line 16 times in the 2nd half and everyone was attacking the rim. We scaled back the cute passing the ball around and it help lead to only 2 TO in the second half none of which lead to fast break points. And in turn the lack of TO allowed them to clamp down of defense yielding 36 points points in the second half and allowed us to improve to 9-0 when holding teams to 90 or less in regulation.
Someone needs to take him aside and explain very carefully how good he can be when he attacks like he did tonight.
