I always assume, when I (very occasionally) make use of an address given to me by webDippers, that the address is actually your aunt's 2nd grade teacher's dog trainer's kitty-corner neighbor.

Would love to see a pic of one of the mugs.

Here are a couple quick shots.

I wonder if the game depicted on one side has any particular significance?

Thanks for posting, those look nice!

I wonder if it is the image that is used on the landing page for non-logged in users?

vDiplomacy has a variant for England versus Turkey:

The starting position of the English units is different that normal and according to the stats England has won more games.

I almost guessed Sun Wukong earlier when I guessed Chee-chee (I googled "fictional primates" and he is on the very short list) but it turns out I read the chart at

wrong and thought Monkeys were Hominids. Good pick KotP and good sleuthing Sparty!

Is this character male?

This will be Q 20. Does anyone wish to make further guesses?

Revised free guess: Chee-chee, the Francois' Langur from the 50's comic _Tor_.

Free Guess: Gorilla Grodd?

Not a gorilla

Oh, right, I missed the "not in hominidae" bit in the recap. Guess withdrawn.

Free Guess: Gorilla Grodd?

Cooperative games seem to be all the rage lately... what about a game with both cooperative and competitive aspects, so you can win as an individual but if you sabotage your opponents too much you all end up losing? Has this been done before? There was a game I played a while back named Hellapagos ...

I don't know where this originated from, but well, here you go team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SRY0_ovbLo

Can you please explain what is the crusher opening for turkey? I think he's referring to Turkey's Spring 1901 orders of Con-Bul, Ank-BLA, Smy-Arm, which I believe is colloquially known as the "Crimean Crusher".

That was a cool idea for a round!

I was thinking the other day about how many Diplomacy place names are in my home state of Michigan (both towns and townships):
Smyrna, Livonia, Moscow, Holland x 3, Rome, London, Paris, Venice, Clyde x 2, Vienna x 2, Berlin x 3.

I think creators messing around with anyone they say the bots don't know who the human player is haha... they only play certain openings and certain moves vs the human player but not other bots... Every - and I mean every - opening I've seen the bots play against me I've seen them play against anot...

I love playing the bots, but just like the Italy to Austria (literally just happened to me, AGAIN) it seems they are all pre-disposed to attack the human relentlessly. I've had a few occasions where normal openings occur and I'll support the bot and they support me, but overall they're ruthless. Th...

Second, I apologize for the many posts which have gone unresponded to. This is my final semester in high school, so I have a lot of things to attend to. Hopefully I'll have the time sometime soon to make a sort of blanket post to cover all the topics I've missed. You haven't caught the dreaded seni...

I have a coworker who has a Lions themed license plate where the plate number is "NX YR"
