We have never spoken before, so allow me to introduce myself. I am Jorb, one half of the dashing developer duo. My partner in crime, loftar, and I are two friends who (do not) study and are (barely) enrolled at two separate universities in Stockholm, Sweden.
Me and loftar have a lot in common, not the least of which is a strong, shared passion for human liberty, economic freedom, the high values in life, honor, freedom, dignity, etc. We are both passionately interested in history, language and the philosophy of human behavior, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxeology, and the history of economics.
H&H is to some extent an ideological project. With this project, we seek to explore the boundaries of how limitless an economic simulator it is possible to build, and how well we believe it can mirror the systems of spontaneous order that we can observe around us in the real world, of human cooperative behavior and trade on the basis of voluntary, mutual gain. To give you a quick snapshot of my sense of life, allow me to quickly just show you some things that I think are cool.

I strongly believe that Germany has unsettled borders in the east, in Königsberg, East Prussia, now Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. That land was stolen from Germany after the second world war. The murderous evils of Adolf Hitler are not reason enough to unjustly take, subjugate, occupy and ethnically cleanse land that has been legitimately German for centuries. German civilians were forcibly located away from land that had been their Urheimat for centuries, and subjected to horrible fates in soviet death camps. This is a terrible injustice that I think should be rectified by the swift return of East Prussia to Germany, and the barbarous blasphemy that is Kaliningrad, be replaced again by a restored Königsberg. Please note that I do not mean this as an insult to the proud Russian people, whose traditions and histories I fundamentally respect, and honor. I also believe that the dismemberment of the German empire after world war one was the original tragedy. The first world war was one of the most horrible tragedies of western civilization.

I must also point out that I think Hitler was a very, bad, bad man. Who I happily would have shot myself, if given the opportunity.

The terrible historical and varying fates of the Jewish nation in the diaspora was settled in blood in 1948, when Israel first bravely fought for its independence. I firmly stand by her side.

I am however directly opposed to the Soviet Union. Had this been on the eve of the Russian revolution, I would have loved to have died by the side of the Romanov family. I do admit that even that has produced some catchy songs, though. And, you know, the KGB are kind of cool, in their own, special, evil little way.

Loftar programs, I do art. We drink lots of tea and talk a lot of bullshit.
Anyway, freedom of speech applies for moderators as well as for others. Sabinati is a great guy once you get to know him. Harsh words must fall off our backs like water off of geese's backs, for we are on a mission here. Let us see the good in people, and try to uplift them, rather than hold them down.
Did you have a question? I don't remember. Welcome to the forums!
