'War' in Syria?

"The point, of course, is that the West had grown so used to attacking Arab lands - France had become so inured to sending its soldiers and air crews to Africa and the Middle East to shoot and bomb those whom it regarded as its enemies - that only when Muslims began attacking Western capital cities did we suddenly announce that we were "at war"."

Disappointing.

I joined to play MrcsAurelius, as advertised...

MrcsAurelius (3051 )

Hey Guys, great that we have so much interest! I have room for two full press games actually, as my other games have recently finished. I'd love to play two! Let's make the first one 48hrs and the second 24hr or 36hr (depending on the preferences?)

GM1 WTA FP ANON 48hrs
1. 17- Yonni
2. 26 - ogion
3. 30 - MrcsAurelius
4. 36 - StackelbergFollower
5. 46 - rdrivera2005
6. 47 - IshmaelGuantanamoIV
7. ....

Gm2 WTA FP ANON 24/36hrs monday start
1. 20 - ssorenn
2. 30 - MrcsAurelius
3. 82 - 0k0k0
4. 89 - Marz
5. 147- wjessop
6. 215 - Yoyoyozo
7. ...

So we have two spots left in both games. Is there someone else that would like to be in both? I also still have to hear back from some people I PMed. I don't have a pref for the start date. But I see some prefs in the thread. ssorenn a Monday start, so GM2 monday. GM1?

stefanodangello (409 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

I'd happily join either game, if my current GR at 172 so allows! Longer phases are always better

Ogion (3817 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Actually. It looks like I am
Going to have to bow out. Real life calls and the gunboat tournament is starting

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Ah.. really? Was looking forward to another game against you. You know that gunboat doesn't require that much time right? ;)

Yonni (136 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Ogion, never let gunboat get in the way of diplomacy.

Mrcs, could we hold off on starting until after the weekend? That'll give me a chance to confirm I'm not going to be hit with an extra two simultaneous games from the ODC

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Yes sure, so then we'll start monday with both games? Then there are still open spots for other players that are interested!! Come hither and play ;)

Ogion (3817 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Bah. Ok. If the spot is there I'll stay in. Gunboat won't start for a bit anyway and it is pretty fast

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Yonni, where's your optimism? Just assume you're going through, that's what I'm doing ;)

Monday start is great for me and I'm happy with 48hr phases.

Vecna (890 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Hmmm maybe i could be tempted to join in on some more of this. How about it MA, wanna go for round three?

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Sure Vecna! The previous two battles have left the war undecided.. :)

So we got:

GM1 WTA FP ANON 48hrs monday start
1. 17- Yonni
2. 26 - ogion
3. 30 - MrcsAurelius
4. 36 - StackelbergFollower
5. 46 - rdrivera2005
6. 47 - IshmaelGuantanamoIV
7. 82 - 0k0k0

Gm2 WTA FP ANON 24/36hrs monday start
1. 20 - ssorenn
2. 30 - MrcsAurelius
3. 89 - Marz
4. 147- wjessop
5. 172 - stefanodangello
6. 200 - Vecna
7. 215 - Yoyoyozo

I'll send out the PMs Friday and I will make sure the games will start monday (9ish GMT). Please post here if in the end you cant make it a bit in advance, so that we can find a replacement! Thanks guys, really looking forward to these ones.

ssorenn (0 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

I will be bowing out. Sorry guys. Some stuff came up

Yonni (136 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Also, because I don't mind meeting the new people in the game, I'd be happy with it being semi-anon. i.e., we tell everyone who we are in the game. That way we can chat with each other but we don't get those annoying time stamps on the board.

Obviously fine either way, just a thought.

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

I'd prefer anon, but if people like your idea Yonni, I'd def be open to try!

So we need one more player!!!

Ogion (3817 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

FOr what it's worth I really prefer anon

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Since I almost always plan anon, I wouldn't mind mixing it up, but if a few players in the game have a strong preference for anon (as it seems) then I'm happy keeping it anon.

Yoyoyozo (95 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

I perfer anon

CNote (690 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

If there's an open spot, and you'll take me, I would be interested to play with you guys. GR 265

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

I think this is the fastest I've seen two games fill up on the forums in a while.

Deinodon (379 )
19 Nov 15 UTC

Lemme know when you guys set up a top 200 game. :)

Deinodon (379 )
20 Nov 15 UTC

If CNote doesn't get the spot, I want in on game two.

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
20 Nov 15 UTC

Hey Guys! The whole thing turned into a bit of a GR challenge. So if all are okay with it I'm gonna put Deinodon (GR 198) in. Sorry that I don't have spot then Cnote! I'll put you up as a replacement for if someone backs out last minute. I'll set up the games later today. Have fun all, really looking forward to these!

GM1 WTA FP ANON 48hrs monday start

sent out pswds and game IDs. Let me know if something's up. I will leave the games as soon as someone joins and I will re-enter on monday. Have fun all.

For those that are interested.

rdrivera2005 (3533 )

I will wait to join on Sunday or Monday as I am really busy in RL today and tomorrow.

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
20 Nov 15 UTC

@rd, Sure, I will join around 9:00 GMT on Monday myself, to ensure the game starts on Monday.

Deinodon (379 )
21 Nov 15 UTC

Man, that top 100 game is going to be amazing. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Hapapop (725 )
21 Nov 15 UTC

I wouldn't mind being a substitute.

MrcsAurelius (3051 )
22 Nov 15 UTC

Hey guys, in both games one person hasn't signed in yet - apart from me. One is probably rdrivera in game 1. But there's also a person in game 2 that hasn't joined, please do so that we may start tomorrow!

Deinodon (379 )

Let the games begin.

Did Soldiers Really Die for my Freedom?

NHL All-Star Game

So the NHL has announced a 3-on-3 format for the All-Star Game this season. I believe this format devalues defensemen in that, in a 3-on-3 match, both sides will field a center and 2 wingers to increase scoring chances at the cost of solid defensive play. The NHL has a long history of great defensemen, so I don't believe it is fair to devalue them by devaluing their usefulness in the All-Sta Game (ergo, less All-Star appearances for defensemen versus scorers).
Thoughts?

turkey needed for gunboat

Well apparently some players in a game entitled to encourage a lack of CDs want to play on with a banned player, so we need a replacement turkey. The position is more decent if you consider the necessary allegiances in place given the position. It'd be a fun challenge to make something of this and far from impossible.
