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?

For Once I'd Like To See
A replacement thread that tells it like it is:

Sub needed: terrible position when a player quit after he realized he will lose. Country is on its last legs and you will most likely lose as well. We just want your points.

This will be difficult.

The majority of WebDip players are clearly used-car salesmen and women who will always tell you that it's a: great position, a country with lots of potential (give or take), could go on and win the whole game if the player is experienced enough; it's a challenge, essentially; a challenge someone like you can rise to, enjoys, deserves. Now join before someone else snaps it up, what are you waiting for?

I have taken one game in the past two years to test a new feature and I took over only a few games since I became a mod because I wanted to play but did not have enough time to play full length games, but sure, feel free to make fun of me, 2WL. I could return the favor and talk about how you NMR all the time and how bad you have gotten at gunboat and how you 7-way draw without any regard to the integrity of the game, but being the gentleman that I am, I won't do that.

You have also posted 7000+ compared to my 3700+, so all in all I'm not too sad about it. I know you have more wit than I do, which explains why you have more +1s and I have less. I am just glad that people still give me the occasion +1 to cheer me up.

and yes I expected to lose them all but that's okay. This whole, I won't help unless I know I'll get something out of it, is a lot like I won't perform charity unless I get paid in my eyes.

As much as I agree that this game should be compared to real life charity work, it should be noted that I value my hard-earned stats.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
29 Jul 15 UTC
that's your problem. If you value your stats so much make sure not to play with new players, not playing for fun, not play in tournaments, and not to play take overs. Simple stuff.

This thread may be a joke, but I have to say it: a major reason I favor PPSC is that it gives players a realistic point incentive to take over 'Great Powers' in civil disorder.

Sometimes if you are really lucky you can find a game where a really good position is available because of a banned multi player. Almost all the rest of them aren't worth the effort. It's no fun playing a game where your "ally" is only keeping you alive until he can take your SCs instead of your "enemy."

Now over at vDiplomacy I had to take them to get enough phases to get past the beginner's restriction on number of games you could play at the same time.
