WebDiplomacy Mafia II: vDiplomacy Invasion
NOTE: The rules for this game are almost exactly the same as for the last one, but with changes to the TIE-RESOLUTION METHOD and the additions of the MOLE and QUESTION ASKER roles. If you read the rules in the last thread, you can just skip to these sections in this one, as the rest is the same. If you did not, it is strongly advised you read the whole of the below post.
The post has been copied from PE’s post (with his permission) with edits to reflect the changes.

Only patriots need post.

Lance Corporal Robert Bolin - U.S Marine Corps - 1984-1988. I am thankful for all those sailors, soldiers, airmen, and Marines who went before, allowing me to have a life of moderate luxury in a nation where anyone who applies himself can climb the ranks.

Draugnar's Daily Star Trek Study Thread.
In which we watch an episode of classic Star Trek each day (might skip a day here or there) and have a discussion about it.

Let's start at Season 1, Episode 1 - The Man Trap.

Sulu is a botanist? The first red shirt to die is actually a blue shirt. And Uhura has a bit of a crush on Spock (reflected in Star Trek (2009)) and even gets upset at his lack of emotional response when the transporter room reports one dead and he doesn't ask who (hinted at in Start Trek Into Darkness).

For 1966, the special effects are quite excellent. While over used, the ship orbiting the planet (and the planet itself) rivals Star Wars (pre CGI).
PSMongoose (2384 D)

Are you sure you're watching the original version of classic Star Trek? There was a remastered version published within the past decade that has revamped CG effects.
Draugnar (0 DX)
24 May 14 UTC
That could be. I'm watching it on Amazon Prime. But the drama and writing is still better than most of the crap produced in the 70s and much of the 80s and 90s.
Theodosius (232 D(S))
24 May 14 UTC
I don't think that red shirts dying off started until later. They were still getting their feet wet, feeling their way around the sand, figuring out where they wanted to go.

For 1966, the special effects beat, say Dr. Who, whose special effects were laughable (the salt-shaker space ship).
Draugnar (0 DX)

I thought I remembered the original model work wasn't nearly up to that quality.
PSMongoose (2384 D)
24 May 14 UTC
I remember the fourth episode in the first season being pretty good. And then you reach Season two and Chekhov comes aboard, making it true Original Star Trek.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

There was an episode of Star Trek (not a clue which) on tv. Was pretty disappointed.

Did Star Trek not age very well or is it just me, or the specific episode?

Kirk likes them green bitches
Randomizer (722 D)
24 May 14 UTC
It wasn't until the late movies that Kirk got discriminating about females of any species that he wouldn't sleep with off screen. I think his only restriction was not to chase after married females, however if they only had a boyfriend than it was open season.
Strauss (1872 D)

And Kirk fought on all planets in wild west style. It was planned a wild west series in space.

"Wild west series in space"
At least Firefly got that right eventually. So glad that show was long-running and successful.

Draug, I like this idea. Will we be moving on to other series once we finish the original?
Draugnar (0 DX)
24 May 14 UTC
I plan to. It may be more like a couple eps a week over the summer. But I want everyone who can to watch each episode then discuss it.

I did. I think it's a decent episode, but not really up to the standards later episodes set.

It may not be as good as the last season, but it is still better than anything else on at the time.

PPSC Points Distribution
With regards to this game: gameID=142343

The pot was 175 D. Germany won with 22 of 34 SCs, so by my calculations Germany should win ( 22 / 34 ) * 175 = 113 D, but Germany only won 105 D (which is 60%, exactly, of the pool). Similarly, Turkey finished with 9 of 34 SCs, so Turkey should win ( 9 / 34 ) * 175 = 46 D, but won 53 D. What gives?
