Does anyone else love that this site has not changed its look in like eight years?
Because I actually seriously love that about it. Nothing else in my life on the internet still looks like it did then, and it looks fine.

No, they can't implant one in your right hand.
But it is pretty amazing none the less... (And I hate you all for making me be the one to share this link. Come on...get on the ball people)

Surrender option
I am thinking that having a surrender option (to your attacker, or one of your allies that you border) might add a very nice twist to the game. Often we see people give up, but giving them a chance to surrender their territories would take diplomacy to another level, where you could negotiate with someone, give him your armies, and watch your enemy deal with a much bigger force. Thoughts?

The Favorite Author Tournament, Round 1, Match 1--#1 Shakespeare vs. #64 Virgil
And we kick off our daily tournament with a great match-up...the most celebrated author in the English language vs. the most celebrated Roman poet of all-time...Aeneid vs. Henriad...
#64-ranked Virgil (just beating out James Joyce and Ovid to get here) vs. #1-seed Shakespeare--+1 for your choice below, based on influence, quality, popularity, importance, personal taste, and all that fun stuff.

"Maybe...already posted this one, so we'll do it here today, and then maybe keep the others to one thread (at least one thread per round.)"

Do that.

You could also create a poll and post the URL in the new thread. Otherwise, you run the risk of this "tournament" coming across as a +1 whoring stunt.

Shakespeare: 4

There, just add your vote to that counter like we did with the Ovid/Joyce/Virgil/Neal Stephenson run-off...and not a +1 (or fuck about them) need be given.

Virgil, by the way.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
09 Apr 14 UTC
i think shakespeare's impact is just.... a whole lot greater than virgil's.

how many sayings do we have from shakespeare? I mean, shit, how many WORDS do we have from him? how much philosophy is contained in his lines? how many plotlines did he essentially invent?

He is the English world's Homer.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
09 Apr 14 UTC
And to those who say Homer didn't exist, I say:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Playing with people I know
I have read the rules that state that you must not enter a game with any pre-made alliances (metagaming). I'd like to host a game with people I know but we don't have enough players to make a full game. Instead I'm considering allowing the empty spaces to be filled by people we don't know.

Even if we play like we don't know each other are we likely to be accused of cheating and therefore is this not worth bothering with unless I have 7 people to make a private game?

Who's the Bard of WebDip? The Favorite Author Tournament!
List your 4 favorite authors below (if one of your four has already been picked, choose another.) Once we have at least 16 authors (or more, if we get more interest) we'll line them up, the first author chosen vs. the last one posted (so, yeah, Shakespeare vs. whoever the last guy/gal is, lol), and then the second vs. the second to last, etc. in +1 spinoff threads (so, yeah, Shakespeare vs. Challenger X/Y). :p Highest total after 24 hours moves on...repeat until we choose the Bard of WebDip!
