Did Cameron do this on purpose?
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/28/cameron-eu-juncker-defeat-britain-exit

His foreign policy is a total shambles but maybe he did this on purpose to accelerate the Brexit. It takes great strategic planning to bungle something this badly.

Could someone explain to me how to get the derivative of:
(3x^2+6x)/(2x^3+2)^5
So [(3x^2+6x)/(2x^3+2)^5]'=.....
I've missed quite some math classes lately and I need to know how to solve this type of thing (and other things but anyway) for a test tomorrow. I could probably figure it out myself eventually, but I just don't have the time and I have quite a bit more to go through.
Would someone be willing to show me the steps I should take?

Of Kurds and Caliphates
http://news.yahoo.com/netanyahu-calls-jordan-support-kurdish-autonomy-214846630.html The ISIS today declared itself to be an Islamic State...and we'll see how long that lasts, or where that goes...meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyau called for support for the Jordanians (gee, I can't imagine why) and independence for Iraq's Kurds. Which is a more likely state to be recognized/come into being/"stick," a Kurdistan (if you will) or this ISIS caliphate? Thoughts?

Question for the mods:
I note we have some newish stats, like reliability rating. Ilove the idea of this. Is there some way we can set up games with a minimum reliability rating threshhold for participants? That would be a really nice way to filter out the people who join live games and then immediately quit the moment the game does not work out for them.

SRG inspired by Chaqa's...
Simple rules. Each home SC (yours or opponents) gets one build. One build for every three non home SCs. So only 26 total units at most and everyone will want enemy home SCs more than the others. Interested?

Ghost rating. http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/theghost-ratingslist

It's one of the better means of evaluating a players skill level. The calculation is based on chess's system.

I'm in if you'll have me.
I understand if you won't.
I only do 48 hours if it starts before the 2nd of July. If it starts after the 2nd of July, I prefer 36 hours and 48 hours is fine too. 24 hours would be a maybe for now.

As for buy-in, I prefer 10 but don't really care.

I'm also making the assumption that it's full press here.

I am in for the idea of a game. Little worried about Austria jumping on Italy or vice versa early and then I think they will not be stopped. But I would play.

22 Jun 14 UTC
OK, full-press non-anon 36 or 48 hours (would prefer to start this week, so 48 if we can get enough players) WTA 1 unit for every three non home SCs, 1 unit for every home SC (including ones you take from someone else). 10 point buy in

I'm intrigued. If you have 5 units (funded by 4 home SCs and 3 non home SCs, and in your turn you're stabbed and lose 2 home SCs, what happens? Is the 3=1 rule purely for building, or do you insist that one of the units is frozen until sufficient SCs are found to fund it?
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Jun 14 UTC
Not frozen, but I think any dislodged unit would be forced to disband if you are over your limit seeing as we can't force the disbands in game.

How would winter disbands be enforced if a player falls below the required number of SCs?
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Jun 14 UTC
We can't force the disbands as the system won't let us disband more than the normal amount. That's where the mods intervene on a retreat and all players agree to abide by the disband instead of retreat if they have too many units.

Yes, except I drink pop aka soda instead. The only smoking I do is a pipe at lunch, another on the drive home, and a couple cigars each weekend.

Ah, I thought pop break is a break in which you pop, and I thought popping might be something like smoking.

Didn't know pop is soda :)

Coastal Movement
Normally, when two units make a move to each other's territories, it causes a bounce (Rhur moves to Munich while Munich moves to Rhur). However, would coasts be treated as different territories for fleets? For example, could a fleet in Spain (nc) move to MAO while another fleet in MAO moved to Spain (sc)? Same with Bulgarian coasts and Constantinople. Thanks in advance!

OK, sorry for the delay...and the continued delay--we'll start Midnight tonight. ORWELL! DICKENS! POE! TOLKIEN! Who will advance?

And a bonus question, just for schnicks and giggles--what's the first book you read after high school (or, if it was a while ago, the earliest book you can remember reading after high school?) Just curious to see what we get.
