So, I've got Rinne G NAS as my stud goalie in this auction draft I do every season...
...and he goes down with this hip infection. Gone for at least a month. So I pick up J.S. Giguere as he's the best goalie available, back-up status notwithstanding.

Would a 3-Party System Really Be Better?
With all the increasing discontent over the latest issues in D.C. coupled with the Tea Party and Libertarian Republicans getting more air time, it seems as if there's a bit more sentiment towards a 3-party system among citizens. That being said...would it really be better? Would it really change anything beyond adding a Tea Party/Libertarian/Party X cable news network the way Fox = Republicans and MSNBC = Democrats?

NMR, CD & Etiquette
Why do people refuse to cancel when there is an NMR in Spring 01 or a CD in 01 (or even 02)? What is the point?

Work at home? I work in an office.
Discuss. I think word should be done at the office. YES, I've seen the TedX movie, it was brilliant, but I still think having a place where you physically meet and greet your colleagues is important and - dinosaur that I am - I think it's where the work should be done if it's in fact office work.

My first full press non-anon in 6mo
Looking over my profile, I realized I've become way too concentrated on anonymous and gunboat games, and haven't played full press classic since at least March. Discuss the relative merits of gunboat and classic, and meanwhile, join my game. http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=128395

checked out my rating....
so.... i've been playing a bunch of wta games lately, and usually surviving or defeated with a few draws here and there. Now i go check my rating... Position: 9822 / 9823 (top 100%) Really...? am i really the second worst player in the game? I would assume there are a bunch of people who haven't won, and plus i have more draws than defeats. I'm confused

Moderator Team Update Round 2
Three members have agreed to participate in a 2 week trial as part of the moderator team, so you'll probably notice a few more checkerboards over the next few days. We'll announce who they are after they are given their status.

Celticfox and two members of the new Secret Moderation Corps, eh? Here's a fun new idea. Instead of banning members caught cheating (which often alarms new members and pollutes the site with little red Xs) quietly remove the member's access rights and replace him with a bot to maintain a forum presence. After a few days get the bot to create a thread about 'leaving the site because of school/ work commitments' and everyone's happy.
purely out of curiosity how are mods chosen? I can't say I've ever really looked around the site properly but I don't think I've seen a flashy button saying mod interviews anywhere XD

@ Dr Octagon: They largely volunteer by emailing the mod email.

Don't listen to him. Mods are asked by the mod and admin team based on how even tempered and fair the mod team thinks they would be from their forum presence. There is no applying or volunteering.

Gratz CF! You will make a great mod.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
27 Oct 13 UTC
Actually Draugnar you're mistaken. I know at first hand that more than one person has found their way onto the mod team by initially volunteering and then being selected.

Dr. if it is something you are interested in doing you likely should send them an e-mail. I would never under any circumstance follow any forum advice Draugnar is giving you.

Thanks guys for the support :).

@Doc Oct Both Jamie and Draug are correct in this instance. Also, take any advice given in this forum with a grain of salt.

The second member to start the training is TheMinisterOfWar.

@Jamiet, it's very rare for a member to volunteer without first being approached via pm by a moderator. I actually can't recall a moderator who volunteered without being pm'ed first. That's obviously not to say that we wouldn't consider people volunteering or at least expressing interest out of the blue.
Thanks jmo, will do my best to serve and protect ;-)

Yay Ministerof War.. Trainee together :)
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
27 Oct 13 UTC
@ jmo: That's fine, but my comments were based on the fact that two ex-mods spoke to me by PM about my potential interest in becoming a mod, and both of them encouraged me to email [email protected] to formally volunteer. I therefore assumed that was a standard route, since it was the route I was advised to go down if I was interested.

Please don't silence me =P
steephie22 (182 D(S))
27 Oct 13 UTC
Maybe this is a better approach:

You were more like the other amazing forumites instead of the amazing mods for me, since that's what you were!
steephie22 (182 D(S))
27 Oct 13 UTC
Also I'd like to correct myself:

Good luck guy and girl.
No offence taken - I've never aimed to stand out from the crowd on the forum, so that's quite alright. Thanks for the welcome!
steephie22 (182 D(S))

I didn't welcome you though :)

So welcome both of you =)
