Amid yet another sign of a complete brainwashing scheme to throw out anyone with a half bit of independent thought, the GOP appears to be splitting. Where's the line, (when) are they going to split?

Side thread:

I'd like to point out to everyone on this website that is a Marxist (There are quite a few of them, though I've muted most), that it hasn't worked in the long run ANYWHERE. Soviet Russia, Cuba, France, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Angola, Somalia--all places where Marxism existed for a long time, ended up worse off then they were before.

The army got destroyed, but the Turks landed on England. Dont know if its a big deal or not, but I say that is going to be one of my biggest accomplishments.

Close the damn prison Yankees. You're creating new enemies that all NATO countries will have to go fight again. The NRA is a much more dangerous organization now than Al Qaeda is. Move on.

I know that if 2 players are banned in the same game the policy is to cancel the game after the players have been given an opportunity to draw it.

Interesting and bizarre coincidence? Or not?

Although I haven't been on this exact website very long, I've noticed that there aren't that many normal games anymore. I don't mean like classic, or world diplomacy or whatever. It just seems there are a lot of gunboat and winner-takes-all/no in-game messaging games. I'm not dissing those types because they can be fun. But diplomacy is about talking with people. I'm not dissing different types. I'd just like to know other people's views on this.

Just in case people don't look at the tournament's thread.
Here's the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SQNP86Z
We will take everyone's vote into our decision. If there is a disagreement between tourney players and everyone else, Kestas will decide what to do.

Can the moderators please ban people who sign up for games and don't show up to play them?

A no-show totally messes up the balance of the game.

This week Golden dawn tried to assault the mayor of Athens, jobik in Hungary is holding protests against the world Jewish congress. The political far right is rising in Europe sign of things to come or not

I got caught up with a trip I'm on and missed a few turns now I have left the game. If I rejoin will the "left" stat go away? Thanks.

I think a mobile app for this site would be great. Notifications when people send messages or that a phase is almost finished would help games move along much smoother. I'm sure there are many more things that could be done on an app, maybe even everything, but that alone would be helpful. I don't know anything about programming apps, though, so someone get on it!!

Countries with an equal number of supply centers are no longer ordered by player point totals.

I know there are some people here that play on the Spanish site as well. Does anyone know what is going on with the site? I haven't been able to access it since early yesterday. Thanks.

You Americans probably don't know about this, but we have a wacky UK Independance Party that got quite a lot of local council votes last night.

Is Amanda innocent or guilty?

Affirmative action is going down, I feel like the 3 years I have been arguing against it is finally paying off. :D

So I tried to get this started a while back, before my brief hiatus...
But yes--I'd like to start up a game with Global Chat, and each of us will use a different form of English (ex. Southern US English, Cockney English, Middle English...I know someone was interested in Rastafarian English...I'd use Elizabethan-era/Early Modern English, etc.) so yeah...anyone, join up? Game is inside, PM me for the password.

http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/04/why-accidental-racist-is-actually-just-racist/274826/ A little late to the party on this one, but I've been very busy with classes (hence my brief absence...anyone miss me? *crickets* LOL) but as we have quite a few Southerners here, I thought I'd ask--would you ever wear/display a Confederate flag, and just take it as a symbol of the South, or is that spoiled by some of it's possible negative connotations?

If you save your orders but don't mark as ready and then time runs out, does civil disorder ensue? Or are saved orders carried out? Sorry if this answered somewhere in the rules section, but I could not find an answer.

As a dad of a 29 month old baby, there are a number of things that my daughter does that just makes me burst out laughing. I would like to share some of them with you folks, and if you have your own to share (whether of your kids or of yourself when you were little), that would be great.
