Ways I could spend $10,000:

1.) Tuition

3.) Books
4.) Save it
5.) A couple vacations

@ss

You should take Bo's advice and only buy 2; use the other $10k to buy a car so I don't have to drive you everywhere.

Nah, i like it when you say you'll pick me up. But i just keep waiting and waiting
Books on 3? Whoah.

But no, I wanted the normal watch until I saw the price. That shit is ridiculous.

You see this watch? You see this watch?

That watch cost more than your car.

Books are #3 in the USA only. Lucky you, TMOW.

Seriously, there are a few people my age that I know that wear a Rolex or something and I just wonder how a Rolex is more rewarding than, say, a practical thing that actually makes an impact on your life. Buy a knock-off Rolex and it looks the same to 99.9% of people.

I like watches. Sometimes my phone dies. It's easier to look at your wrist than take something out of your pocket.

bo, this may be hard to believe, but there are watches under $10,000.

No kidding, abge. The one I wear might be worth $10. I'm just confused as to why people buy such expensive and useless things.

I once saw a watch. It sat next to our rotary phone on the center with our TV--the kind with the channel dial.

Sorry internet board, but fashion is probably the highest reason for owning a watch. They are a fashion accessory and always have been - with the mainstream use of the smart phone, this shift is even more defined. Not only can you state that you're a snobby rich guy, but there are many other statements you can make. Minimalist? They have these watches. Hemp bands, fitbits, built into bracelets, calculators. Never forget the Casio watch!

If you have no watch then it says to me that either you have no style, are not confident enough to state it, or probably what is probably most popular is that you are still seeking to find yourself.

As for ssorenn, wearing 3 10k iwatches on his wrist probably is his style.

House game 3/08 near Boston
I'm hosting a house game this coming Sunday (3/08) in Waltham MA, and would love a few more players. I actually already have one full board confirmed plus a couple extras, so I'm looking for 5-6 more people to make it a two-board event.

This is part of my effort to create a strong Boston community of Dippers, so all ages, skill-levels, and amounts FtF experience are welcome. Contact me if you're interested, either here or (preferably) at [email protected].

Diplomacy with WMD's
every country begins with 1 WMD(can only be used after 1902 build phase) every other year would be an automatic WMD for countries larger than 7 centers. (this way no nuclear war in 1901, or 1902). A WMD would annihilate all forces enemy or friendly in a given location and if it is a center render it neutral and impassable for 1 year. what would this add to the game?

I thought it would be interesting to see MAD employed in diplomacy.
