ESPN Streak for the Ca$h

Anyone here play this with at least semi-seriousness, and is there interest in making a webDip group on ESPN for friendly competition? I haven't been picking too much but with CFB and NFL seasons starting up in a couple weeks, I plan on trying again. I've gotten up to W21 before during football season.

Conway's Game of Life

I suspect many of you are familiar with Conway's game of life, and there may have been a thread on this topic in the past, but I have been messing around with different patterns and I find this 'game' simply amazing. Such simple physics, but such complex and cool things can happen. If you aren't familiar with the game check out the rules here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life
For those who do know about this, what is the coolest pattern you have seen??

Tony Stewart Accidentally Runs Over/Kills Driver During Race

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtBH9FJ3LOU I have never watched a NASCAR or Sprint Cup race in my life...because frankly, I couldn't care less about cars going around and around in a circle 500 times (I don't doubt it's hugely challenging and takes talent, it's just not for me) but wow...what a way to go. :/ Getting run over like that mid-race, shit...

possible banned members page?

I visit a site called GTPlanet and they have a banned members page with some hilarious explanations of why the user was banned. I think it would be cool and funny to have one here as well!
Here's the page from GTPlanet as an example

Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?

We're all familiar with the idea that there are wars in which everyone is at fault. Let's consider the hypothetical opposite: Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?
(This is somewhat related to the "religious people so anti-humanity" topic but I think this deserves it's own thread.)

good generic role-playing game system for a fantasy setting?

i'm looking forward to playing a few sessions with friends/relatives, but haven't yet decided what system to use. can somebody recommend one or two systems? i wouldn't want to use more than three dice (only if there's an easy conting method like in fate), but wouldn't like no dice either. yet no other ideas on what the system should cover.

Hey, we're looking for a replacement England player in our "Slow and Low (Stakes)" game. He got banned for multi and is actually in a good position gamewise. This wouldn't be a case of taking over a hopeless CD. Have a look and if you're interested, join in! Cheers!

Why are some so-called religious people so anti-humanity?

If you really believe in a higher power why would you support the torture/murder of innocent people ..... maybe this religion idea is not all it is cracked up to be. Maybe religious are the same as the rest of us but just think they are better.

One turn is 3 steps:

1. The progressed word
2. How that word applied to you yesterday (via format, "Yesterday I, "
3. New word progression (logical progression from your #2 statement)

Rules:
-Game is complete when the new word progression gets to Murder (collect group win)
-The word in play is shown in all CAPS
-No person can go twice in a row

I'll go first and use a starting word from a random word generator online:

1. CARDS
2. Yesterday I bought my son a pack of Pokemon CARDS
3. He just started to COLLECT them

Jamiet99uk (808 )

1. COLLECT
2. Yesterday I was ambushed by a bounty hunter out to COLLECT the bounty on my head.
3. I thought he was going to MURDER me, but he took me in alive.

Game won!

Jamiet99uk (808 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

Do you want to play again, ag7433 ?

ag7433 (927 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

lol, but it has to be true (or mostly true)-- I should have stated that in the rules!

Redo!

ag7433 (927 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

Playing that was can be connected in one shot every time

Jamiet99uk (808 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

How do you know that my statement was not true?

I don't know if your son actually collects Pokemon cards, and you don't know there isn't a bounty on my head.

semck83 (229 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. COLLECT
2. Yesterday I COLLECTED my car from the mechanics.
3. They had put on new STRUT MOUNTS.

ag7433 (927 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

I don't know. I'm trusting in the grand integrity of the forum.

I wish it was true because that's awesome for you.

Was it true? You tell me.

Jamiet99uk (808 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

@ semck - the word was "COLLECT" not "COLLECTED"

semck83 (229 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

Sorry you're right.

1. COLLECT
2. Yesterday I went to COLLECT my car from the mechanics.
3. They had put on new STRUT MOUNTS.

There. I'm certainly glad you raised that important point.

Jamiet99uk (808 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

@ag7433 - I'm just messing with you. There's no bounty on my head. I'll trust you that your son really does collect Pokemon cards too.

ag7433 (927 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. STRUT MOUNTS
2. Yesterday I had no problems with my STRUT MOUNTS
3. Because I bought a car from a DEALER not too long ago

@Jamiet -- It's important to me that you believe this. If you need evidence, just ask.

Jamiet99uk (808 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. DEALER
2. Yesterday I had an argument with a small-time local drug DEALER.
3. I told him to keep the HELL away from my friend.

semck83 (229 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. DEALER
2. Yesterday I stopped by a DEALER in office supplies.
3. Because I needed an envelope to send a letter to my UNCLE.

Atrum (458 )

semck83 (229 )

1. BEAT
2. Yesterday, my team was badly BEAT several times in a group game.

1. VOLLEYBALL
2. Yesterday I was thankful my wife is a better companion that Wilson the VOLLEYBALL

Atrum (458 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. MOVIES
2. Yesterday, I went to the movies to watch Guardians of the Galaxy

Atrum (458 )

ag7433 (927 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

oh man, I thought we could have made a connection to Movies and Murder.

Atrum (458 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

(Probably could've, but do you really want to end this game already?)

semck83 (229 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

1. BLOWN
2. Yesterday I was BLOWN away by how bad people can be.
3. I read about a former actor who was sentenced to death for MURDER.
