Best Of?
I've been getting into the game a lot more recently and was wondering if there was any sort of listing of great or best games of Diplomacy. Games with great strategy, alliances, backstabs, drama, that kind of stuff.

In lue of that post your favorite or best games here. I'm up for reading some good stories.

Drinking healthy
I'm quite a balanced eater, so it's not exactly vital, but apart from water, it seems like almost every drink is unhealthy for your body or teeth in some way. Of course, I could just make sure I vary enough, and I do, but I still think it's good to know what's actually healthy rather than "not that bad".

I absolutely don't have to worry about too much calories, btw. I'm talking about the other stuff.

Does this game have to be cancelled?
Hi. I'm currently in this game in which we had 3 people get banned. There haven't been any moves made yet and it is still in spring 1901. So if we were able to fill the positions, 1 of which has been filled already, would we be allowed to continue? Here's a link to the game.

Need a replacement Texas in Full Press Anon WTA, low stakes game.
Texas was banned, and without a replacement it's going to be a very one-sided game.

The Favorite Author Tournament: The Round of 32
And here we go, into Round 2, with Shakespeare being out due to his losing again...because he's the master of tragedy, of course! ;) Will there be literary superstars? Yes! Will there be a glut of sci fi and fantasy writers? Yes! Will Thucy continue push a #ThoreauLaozi2016 platform (Change We Can Believe In...except change is just a natural process and you must learn to accept it like the good little Transcendentalist that you are!)

Reliability Rating
What is the reliability rating based off? Mine sunk to 59% a while ago and hasn't come back up - despite a lot of reliable playing :)

Well, you've played about 30 games and you've resigned 4 of them, and CD'd 11 times. That's about half of your games you've fucked up and made difficult on decent folk you scum sucking pig.

I wouldn't play with you either.

Weren't you righteously banned? Go back from whence you came, demon!
ANimac, as YJ explained, it's based off of how many CDs you have, how many moves you've missed and how many resignations are on your profile. Yours are all fairly high for the number of games you've played.

The good news is that your sample size is small. Additionally, it seems your account is older -- as far as I know the RR data for older profiles is a little weird. Just play more live games and don't drop out of any of them and you should see your RR climb to levels more reflective of your recent reliability.

The CD count is not accurate.

the solution really is just to keep playing and not CDing. it will adjust

Just saw this, don't think its fair to live game players. Yes CDs happen, they don't end live games and they are much more likely to occur (ever run out of battery while playing a live game, then you know what im talking about). Bullshit

Poor baby complaining about live games. Waaaaaaa. If your battery is dying don't join the fucking game or plug in your computer. If you join the fucking game then finish the fucking game. Not too difficult to grasp.

"yes, because i can tell that three hours ahead of time. Idiot."

My computer has this little icon that tells me how much power I have left and a prey good estimate of how long it will last. Most modern OSes do.
THATS AWESOME FOR YOU!

Unfortunately for me my last laptop's power system had severe issues. If I went on battery alone it would cut out unexpectedly. If I plugged it in, if the plug got jostled and came out at all or if the computer screwed just got moved the wrong way the computer would cut out. On top of that even if the battery did stay on I'm sure that I'm not the only one to lose track when you are concentrating on a live game. So, bottom line, I'm glad your computer reliably tells you when you are running out of battery, mine didn't.
As usual, the denizens of this board are a bunch of ass holes

Okay so you are reframing your request. The entire site should exclude all live games from reliability calculations because you have a shitty laptop. That makes perfect sense now.

Santa, the real asshole is the cocksucker who joins games with substandard equipment knowing he is likely to fuck it up for everyone else. Go look in a mirror, then look up asshole in the dictionary. Same image in both, isn't it?

asshole isn't in the dictionary. and if you two shitbirds would like to continue to be shitbirds go ahead, but treating someone who CDs (temporarily) on 5 minute turns the same as someone who CDs on 1 1/2 days is not fair.
I find it very rich that the two people in here being shitheads about CDing during live games don't even play live games. Meanwhile the two people that do play live games, both feel that CDs should not be counted. Bunch of fucking douchebags on this site to be sure.

while I tend to agree that live game CDs should still be accounted for one way or the other, Santa's right to consider them as different beasts, and more importantly, the actual # of CDs stated on profiles is incorrect, so waving that around as a putdown isn't really effective

The Last Man in Europe...Or, Rather, China
http://news.yahoo.com/25-years-tiananmen-barely-known-china-youth-064659528.html That's honestly very depressing...It was 1989...but its treatment is not too far from "1984." And THIS is why I have such a hard time sympathizing with those shouting "Wake the Fuck Up," as if disagreement over America's future was the equivalent to being asleep at the wheel. Neither Bush nor Obama were the tyrants the Michael Moores and Glenn Becks call them out to be...THIS is The Party incarnate...

Lil' bit of French
I want to know how to say this in French:
"(I would like to reserve the spot) in the period from 16 July to 6 August."
That might not even be a proper English sentence, but you probably get what I mean. I just need to make clear in which period, and I don't know how.
Monday morning I'm handing in a letter in which I need that sentence, so there's no rush.
