ISIL using chlorine gas?
http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/10/24/iraq-isil-chlorine.html

What do you guys think? Is chlorine gas too archaic and ineffective to care about, or is the use of chlorine gas by ISIL significant/pertinent to the issue?

The London...Whats? An NFL Team for London Town?
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/american-football/29728155 " Chancellor George Osborne says the UK government will support plans for a London-based NFL team"
For all I know, Osborne could be blowing smoke...but even if it didn't (doesn't) happen--suggestions, real or for fun, for a London NFL team name? :p

Are you a rifleman? I recently decided to get into the hobby of shooting, problem is, my scope isn't zero, so I'm not getting any luck. Any tips on how to zero a scope effectively and cost effective? Thanks!

Yo. I've been semi-retired for a while now, but I wanna play some games. One will be strictly highest GR, and the second will be anyone, witH preference to people who seem fun. Both will be semi-anon, WTA, full press. 36 or 48 hours, full press, so state your preference in the signups.

@ssorenn, you fine being in the second game?
@Gerry, I'd be happy to play with you. I'm going to put you in the second game as well, since you don't have a WTA GR.
@Tru, I'm kind of a starving college student. I'd be willing to be one of the fill-ins if you still need them, but I'm with others that it'd be best not to set a precedent for that since it seems like it's going to be a cool tournament to play in if it ever comes up again.

@Bay, I wanted to have a non-ghost game precisely because GR often doesn't paint the whole picture. Ssorenn, Sandgoose, and Vash are all interesting enough people that it's gonna be a fun game. I don't know you or Gerry, but I'm sure y'all will be awesome too.

I don't think I have for a while. But ones in the past were stuff like getting distracted before a live game. Mostly live game infractions I believe. I'm better about that now though. Haha, it's up to you though.

Put your points where your mouth is then. Don't think I'm the only one who noticed that you haven't played a game since your subpar performance in your first high-GR game.

NFL Pick 'em Week 8: Arriving at the Midway Point...
And so we come to mid-season, with the Cowboys, Chargers, Cardinals and Broncos riding high, the Saints and Bears both plummeting to earth, and a bunch of teams stuck in the middle. We kick off the week tonight with a Thursday match which should actually be good for a change, the Chargers and Broncos in a clash for the lead in the AFC West. The Lions and Falcons play in London, Bengals/Ravens, Panthers/Seahawks...pick 'em!

Autumn Disbands, Fast Retreats
New players take heed: Sometimes is is advantageous to disband dislodged units in Autumn. You can rebuild them where they may be more useful. This is particularly useful in the Modern Diplomacy map where all SCs are considered home SCs.

Picking order or purely random
I was wondering if there is a mechanism, by which players are selected for certain powers. I got 4x times Turkey and 3x times Austria and i joined the game 3rd to last. I am also new here and there are other players who had less points when they joined. An explanation would be helpful, because Í do not believe in bad luck here.

Of Wars and War Crimes
http://news.yahoo.com/exhibition-of-syria-torture-photos-shows--depravity--of-assad-regime-220711714.html With all the talk concerning whether Israel and/or Hamas should/will face war crimes (I think there's a case to be made both Netanyahu AND Hamas leadership should face charges), we have here what's being called the "smoking gun" for Assad's actions. But does the threat of a warm crimes charge really mean anything? If not, how can it be made to "mean" more?
