Ray Tensing Indicted for Murder of Samuel DuBose
http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/07/29/publish/30830777/

I'm glad Tensing had a body camera on. I'm glad the grand jury indicted him. Unless there's something acutely relevant that's off-camera and missing here, I'll be glad when he gets convicted of murder.

There is something I just don't get, concerning in-game messaging
I have noticed that in-game messaging can be completely disabled. Obviously that would not have any reason to be so without "Anonymous Players" enabled at the same time. So my question is this : What's the point with games having Anon and no in-game messaging? The whole point of Diplomacy is gone. I really don't get the appeal, because I have noticed that there is a number of games with those parameters.

I'm considering doing something and I'm wondering how to go about it.
I can't complete the action completely on my own, but I do want to be in control of what I'm doing, and keep all the money I'll probably make as a result of the activity. I haven't defined which action I'm considering taking, but I know that people successfully carry out activities all over the world, nearly every day. Can anyone give me advice?

In Honor of Sandgoose's Baby I See It Fitting That We Should Help Pick Out A Name
So, knowing it's a boy, there's no better time to start than now. Offer a suggestion or repeat someone else's suggestion and add a +1 after it. For example, Josh is a great name. If someone else liked that best, they would put Josh +1 or increment the counter. I'm sure SG will name it based on the most +1's. After all, he's a webdipper at heart.

Reason for Amazon Gift Card?
Amazon sent me a 25USD Gift Card to me, *at my work*, and I have no idea why. I've checked my Amazon account, I've checked my email account, absolutely nothing about me receiving one, much less at my work. Nothing but "Thank You" with the card. Thoughts? Known way of knowing?

Attn Live Game Players:
Double-header gunboats? Need your opinion and advice!
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
30 Jul 15 UTC
ZaZa's back. Is this the creation of another legendary thread???
I have an idea to do double-header gunboats. They would be password protected and posted in the live games thread so that both games have the same 7 players. It could be either:

Two 5-minute phase games, which would be difficult especially if you're doing well in both games

or

Two 10-minute phase games where you are expected to lock-in orders ASAP. This could take too long though

Cast your vote and share your thoughts! Good idea...bad idea?

Thanks!
Haha. Yes, zultar, my reforming days are back. They should give me honorary mod status.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
30 Jul 15 UTC
Done. You are hereby cordially granted honorary mod status.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
30 Jul 15 UTC
Just as long as you have to honorarily do cases. ;)
Shucks, I wish I cared more.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
30 Jul 15 UTC
To answer the original OP, I don't know many people who can handle two 5-min live games. The only people that I know who can or have done it are PE and SplitDiplomat. I personally can't do it because I can't think that fast; I have trouble doing just one once I get to 10+ units.

BUT that is still preferable to play two 10-minute phase games, which could potentially take 5-6 hours.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
30 Jul 15 UTC
I've played 2 live Gunboats simultaneously before. If you want a real challenge, make this 2 live FP's. ;)
I've done two before and it was not hard for me to manage, but I didn't get up to 10+ units in either game. I'm thinking about trying three sometime, and just hope I don't do well in one. ;)

Don't feel bad ZaZa, doing honorary cases is more than HR does these days.

I've done this in public games before, just for the challenge. That vein in my head is still growing, but it's fairly fun. (and those are both 5 minute phases)
I can see the headlines now...

I'd be willing to sponsor a prize for whoever can win, ie beat me, in seven simultaneous gunboats with 10 minutes a phase

I've played 2 F2F games simultaneously several times. Its actually quite common. 2 live gunboat games seems trivial compared to that.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
30 Jul 15 UTC
You did, and RLH did, and Jim did, but almost every time one board ends at 0 and the other board does well.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

And you three are players that would normally not be at 0 when a game is given full attention.

I didn't say I played 2 games *well* I just said this is an easier version if something that is very common in F2F.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

More than fair. And it's not like you did particularly poorly.

At templecon Jim played two Germany powers and that was tough because he had to keep straight which Germany he was when someone called him over!

Yeah, that's pretty awful. I would have rearranged the countries if that happened.
