Yes I must have a different google from you, what I got were football clubs from places beginning with G. I don't even watch football.

Nice link Darkspire, did you even bother to look at the page you linked?

It's wikipedia, listing other possible acronyms for gfc, just like...another wiki called free online dictionary. A list of many acronyms, each as obscure as the rest. And when you click on that relevent link inside your link, there is not one reference to gfc to mean global financial crises. Your link doesn't even support you.

Yet when I search for gfc in you tube what I obtained is infact some obscure wrestling club.

Honest.

Edit: Icemania, you said my logic is flawed. Go ahead and place two quotes where there is a contradiction, as opposed to claiming it so.

Well I guess the rest of your browser must have been hijacked as well, yes the link posted was to the possible meanings of GFC, as there are a few, but the link I outlined for you because of your hijacked browser, was to this page which clearly outlines;
The financial crisis of 2007–2008, also known as the Global Financial Crisis

If I were you I would get your browser fixed and maybe a system scan for other possible lurking problems as you seem to be having real problems reading even the most simple of links.
Yet when I search for gfc in you tube what I obtained is infact some obscure wrestling club.

Not to sure why you are searching for such information on YouTube? Maybe it is the visiting of these 'video' sites that is causing your browser to be hijacked?

Well to help because of your compromised browser I had a look on YouTube for you with the three letters GFC (image 1 A) and there in the list at number 5 is Global Financial Crisis Explained (image 1 B). I really think you need a scanner of some sort to eradicate this problem or maybe some more light bulbs installed would help, so the light of truth can shine with more clarity?

Yeah Darkspire, your new link, which as I have alrady mentioned previously makes no mention of gfc at all. Except for one lazily written reference, which it itself makes no mention of gfc.

Yeah, its so common in fact that, a music video from another mangauge comes first, and immediately below and above it is that same obscure wrestling club I previously mentioned.

You can find any abbreviation on the internet, not sure why you would try to defend icemania, but that acronym it is definitely not common used.

Consider the impact the GFC had on tax revenue for example.

Not sure what GFC is.
ORIGINAL: Icemania
I mentioned the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) ...
ORIGINAL: Plant
It has never been refered to as GFC.

Why are we arguing about GFC again?

Real world economies are unpredictable, but in the real world, tax systems are predictable. Real world governments of well run countries are able to predict the income they recieve every year to a stunning degree of accuracy, to the extent they can run budgets a few years ahead of time. In the real world, governments plan and understand their own income systems.

Distant worlds? You only know at the end of the year, whether you have gained or lost money over the course of that year. You don't even know when you receive or lose that money, it just seems to occur over time.

Real world tax systems are not completely predictable. The GFC had an effect on tax revenue and was predicted by few ...

Why contrast with Distant Worlds which also has a tax systems with a significant predictable component?

And relating that back to the OP ...

Ok, so I went ahead and watched it at the 30 second mark.

Person A: What did you think it stood for?
Person B: GFC, I got no idea, it's not in my stockbroker's vocab.
Person A: No, it's global financial crisis. You sure you want this to be your special subject?
person B: Yes, I know this subject, I lived through it.

LOL I couldn't have put it better myself.

I gave all the correct relevant links, I did not 'bluff' my way out of anything, I just do not see the point of carrying on supplying information for someone who can not see it due to faulty software.

Is there a thread which explains how the cashflow system works? I do all the taxes by my own:

I really want to know when i get my money credited. I thought it will be every year but it doesnt. And in my last game I noticed that my money is growing though I had a negative cashflow and not enough trade income to compensate it? Its hard to plan and to understand how the income system works. Without knowing is hard to play the game. I was searching in the forum for some helpful threads but I coudnt find some.
Putting aside the entertainment with Plant, many of us would be happy to assist with planning ideas, if you can be more specific about the approach you are currently taking.

Your links are irelevent, as I have repeatedly said, so much so that now you don't even bother to counter that claim.

Icemania response: That pretty summarises Plant logic at it's best. It's a Parody! Person B is Plant ... and yes every time I watch it I burst out laughing ...

Icemania's logic at it's best. Not only does he twice asks that I watch his link, even to the extent of recommending a time, that very time of the video itself completely disapproves himself.

His responce? "Person B is Plant"...

So let me get this straight. You made up an acronym. Didn't bother to define it so it had to be asked, so we could continue the conversation. Then said that "Choosing not to define a widely used acronym is a great way to reveal the other parties level of understanding". Posted you tube link twice. In the link itself, the men themselves acknowledge that gfc is a made up acronym.

Your response...is to ignore that altogether. Go dig yourself a deeper hole.

I thought I just did in my previous post? I know your knowledge is somewhat lacking but for things to come up on YouTube and Google they need to have tags associated with them, hence the YouTube search yielded two adverts and a relevant video on the subject of GFC, therefore no one made the term up on the spot, it is an acronym that has been about for at least six years. I shall reply no more as you seem to be on a mission of your own vocation and have no idea how to have a structured discussion like normal folk.

Plant, it did not even occur to me that you would not know the term GFC, which is why I did not define it. I then defined the term GFC in the very next post. That was many posts ago.

At that point, if you had the self-awareness to acknowledge there were concepts others understood that you did not, it would have been prudent to do some of your own research, or ask questions to understand how the term GFC is relevant to the conversation at hand i.e. an example showing that tax revenue has an unpredictable element.

Instead you are sticking to this strange proposition that I "made up" the term GFC. Again, the video is a Parody. Person B ... the person claiming to be an expert on the GFC ... yet failing to even understand the definition ... is the joke in that video. This video here in Australia was pitched at and used with a prime-time audience for mainstream amusement. Various GFC references and articles have been provided. All you are doing is reinforcing your own ignorance.

In a further effort to convince you, I've posted a link to an article discussing the impact on tax revenue (and there are many others that are easily found) and you have still failed to acknowledge the point.

As for a desire to help Novalitz, yes that is genuine. I'm happy to participate in a structured discussion. I am also happy to allow those that are critical of a game that has some uncertainty, and who do not have a desire to comprehend what others have written and learn, like you Plant ... squirm.

At this point I finally realise that I am feeding a Troll, which I probably should have realised earlier. I'm signing out.

Indeed, your hypocrisy is astounding. A link that is irrelevent, yet you insist it is so. But I suppose a coordinated leave with Icemania must put your mind at ease.

As with your earlier claims to humble motives, they are completely contradicted by your earlier comments;

A question that needs to be asked, is who here attempted to answer Novalisk's question. That would be Jekmander, Jeeves and myself. You however came here with your condescending ticket. Of course when I try to engage you in discussion, you can only say that "I've already quoted you and made the flaws in your logic clear". When challenged to put together 2 quotes from myself, you cannot do so, and attempt to change the subject back to "gfc". And then when challenged, you ask, "why are we discussing this?"


You have gone from using that you tube video as proof that it is a widely used acronym to using said video as proof of my ignorance of the nuances of Australian Television pop culture. Ok...
