Let's face it. I'm in the Zone right now. Star me.

JMO, having now been seen as naughty in the eyes of the community, has thus earned public chastisement. Please chastise JMO here:

BAD!! BAD JMO! Bad, naughty, JMO! I think it's time for a spanking...

A variant that puts even more emphasis on diplomacy.
I'll explain my idea with an example inside:

25 webdiplomacy points bet, 24hr, WTA full press - I have 4/5 already, let me know if anyone else interested and I'll PM password - Reliable people only please

Place your bets

So, since I'm back and I'm in no games, let's start one. Who wants to welcome me back from surgery by defeating me? I propose a classic game, PPSC, 24-hour phases, and a stake of about 25 . Who's in?

As above, below. I know y'all probably won't be able to resist but please don't post until I say so, so that there aren't any disruptions to those reading it.

For the people who dropped out of the Gunboat Tournament, Who fancies a Best Looser Game? Its for the dropouts who would like to continue a bit. Its a best out of three, WTA, same scoring system and 36h phases.

Yeah....I've changed my view. He's a Patriot. Yes, he committed an illegal act...but sometimes a good man must break the law to do the right thing. Had he worked for Enron, he'd be a hero, a -, and the government would protect him. But when you are blowing the whistle on the government...

...would you just accept it, being happy and unique, or would you aggressively seek help to change?

A few weeks ago, I jumped on the California Chrome bandwagon and discovered that I quite enjoy horse racing. I don't really know anything about races not in the Triple Crown though. Are there good ones I should be watching out for?

Should sexual harassment of women in online games have real world consequences?

I muted all the threads about mapleleaf and it's like all the drama he's causing vanished. Fascinating how well that worked. (I guess I didn't mute this thread. That would be weird muting your own thread though.)

As I was cleaning my mapleleaf, I discovered it was covered in poo. I got it all over my shorts. When I checked if it did happen, I got it all over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell like maplepoo.

Please advise.

Since it is quite evident to all that Maplepoo it yet another Canadian that really wishes he weren't, and he has obvious jealousy issue with the US - his desired dwelling place, but that his criminal record (or some such thing) is preventing him from becoming a US citizen, and thus he has taken to rather amusing constant stream of America bashing to try to soothe his saddened soul....let's take up a collection and send old maplepoo the biggest US flag we can find.

Hey gang. Having spent the last week in hospital, I'm back. Hopefully that was the last operation I'll need. Going to need to spend the next few weeks healing, but that'll give me plenty of time to join some games. Thanks very much to abgemacht for sitting my account for the last week.

When are they updated? A member's stats says he has never NMR'd but I know this is false - are stats only updated when the game ends?

Most of my recent games have been World, and I've found that once you get 20+ units, the list of orders can become quite unwieldy. Since you develop different "fronts" involving different sets of units, it'd be really cool to be able to arrange my own units to I could keep all of my South American guerrillas separate from my Mongolian hordes (Inner and regular). Would this be simple/worthwhile to incorporate?

We had two late dropouts, looking for two players to join. 2 days/turn, 70 stake. Anyone welcome!

S.P.U. baby. Two weeks after Isla Vista.

Who has bets in? Who is going to win?

no threads that I particularly want to engage with at the moment. Somebody change this!

...I did the last assignment in my basement in pitch darkness with Pentatonix blaring in my face.

What do I do now...

70 years ago today Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy facing an array of artillery, machine guns, mines and barbed wire. Boys as young as 15 or 16 fought on both sides.

anyone remember when they took theirs? People make it out to be soooo horrible but I took mine today and it seemed easy.
