Abusive PMs
Is it possible to block someone from sending you messages? There's a user who is sending abusive PMs to a few players who played a game with him a few weeks ago.

Not that I'm exactly getting upset about being called a colossal berk, but it's annoying when you think it might be a legitimate message each time

Tom Cotton (AR) to replace Paul Ryan?
Looks like Bannon is setting up Tom Cotton to replace Paul Ryan as speaker of the house. At least getting rid of Ryan is one part of #MAGA that I can get behind.

Sovereign rights?
I know lots of Americans talk the talk when it cones to states rights. But how do you feel about treaties signed with Indian Tribes guarenteeing their sovereignty? (What rights should they have? Where do you draw the line? - when this is happening: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58c20238e4b0d1078ca597af )

The new 1v1 games are ruining the game stats
Couldn't there be a possibility to make games even more unranked - meaning that the result wouldn't even appear on your game stats?

They do. My win rate has bumped up

I thought unranked wouldn't show up too, but it's definitely affecting the stats for some reason. I agree with @stranger

Couldn't agree more stranger, I think all variants including 1v1 should be separated out, and weeding out unranked games makes sense too
Mercy (2124 D)
16 Mar 17 UTC
It are not only the 1vs1s that are doing it. From playing 1vs1's you get a higher win rate, but from for example playing World games you get a lower win rate. I never actually cared about these stats because they meant very little anyway.
slypups (1889 D)
16 Mar 17 UTC
Have to agree on inflated win rates here. Disagree with MadMarx, though. Other variants are still similar for win/draw rates (or really harder to win except Ancient Med). Also, win % compared to draw % used to be a useful stat to distinguish a player who focuses on co-op play from one who is likely to stab - it's much harder to tell with 1v1 wins mixed in there.

Unranked still appear in the win/loss rates. Unranked means "not used for ranking".

I'm still custodian of the webdip source code, and would happily accept a change to make the win/loss rates not include unranked.

I would vote for separating out the 1V1. I hadn't realized that those unranked 1v1s are in there. Explains some of those absurd stats.

Incidentally, I stopped playing ancient med because it's too easy to win and was mucking up my stats. I soloed something like six of seven games and that felt dirty somehow. ;)
I strong think that unranked games should not count towards win/loss stats.

Concerning Turkish Strategy: The Ottoman Empire
Concerning Turkish strategy and tactics, the historical endeavours of the Ottoman Empire during the Great War can be considered. Like the other Great Powers, Turkey has many fronts to consider—the Caucasus, Balkan, and Mediterranean fronts. Each front must be considered and analyzed before pursuing a campaign . . .

Trumpcare - costs will be lower for everyone
MSM keeps failing to note that Trumpcare lowers the cost of healthcare for everyone by lowering PREMIUMS while reducing BENEFITS. If nothing is covered, then Republicans can lower premiums drastically, but that doesn't really solve the problem of healthcare does it?

Vacation
So I'm taking a week off at the end of summer and am going on my first solo vacation. I've gone on several vacations with my family, but I like the idea of going somewhere alone where I can do whatever I want for a week. Looking for suggestions on destinations for a week (not a resort - something more adventurous)

Trumpcare predictions?
I predict that Ryan's bill will fail and that Trump will continue to sabotage Obamacare by excusing penalty payments until Obamacare fails. Once Obamacare fails, there's no need to repeal it. Trump will just blame the Democrats for "failed Obamacare" and for failing to work with him on a plan to save it.

Should Trump's EPA be allowed to override state's clean air rules?
Looks like Scott Pruitt wants to gut California's clean emission standards. I'm confused, weren't the states supposed to know for themselves what was best? Why is fed government getting involved in a state's right to set its own standard?

What is the best way to reduce the amount of disinformation?
Call it fake news or whatever you want, but the dissemination of factually incorrect statements is a disservice to the electorate. We all like the first amendment and free speech, but once you have enough viewers/followers etc, should you be held to a higher standard of accuracy?
