Turkish Opening and Mid-Game Tips
This is the kind of thread where, frankly, I am stuck. I need some ideas on how to survive, thrive and keep chugging forward as Turkey from Spring 1902 to the mid-game (whenever that might be). Thanks in advance for replying.

Cancelled their health insurance nationwide. All opted out of the deadlines. The IRS would be backlogged with fines and paperwork for 36 years. Thats how you could get rid of Obamacare if everyone really wanted too.

I do enjoy these good news stories where people have lucky escapes from a lifetime tied down to a lunatic :). How on earth did you end up engaged to a girl like that in the first place?

More importantly, did you get the ring back?
Maniac (189 D(B))
03 Jan 16 UTC
I've actually never heard the term ghosting, so had to look it up.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. People deal with issues like relationship breakdown differently. It may be that one partner has difficulty expressing their emotions, or feels they can be manipulated if they continue any contact, or they feel their heart will rule their head if contact continues. Regardless of their reasons, they are entitled to talk to whomever they like and to shun others. Just because they were one your partner doesn't give you any sort of entitlement over them.

I can of course understand how being ghosted hurts the person being ghosted, but should the ghouted person's needs come before the ghouting person's needs? I think not.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
03 Jan 16 UTC
Gotta agree with Maniac, actually. I for one love being told exactly where it went wrong, but it never crossed my mind to get angry at a girl for not telling me. It's quite a hard question after all.

It can be good to take a step back, wait a year or two, make clear you don't want to start over and ask where it went wrong, if you want closure. There's just this point in a relation where you doubt eachother's motives with every word and then talking doesn't do much.

If someone who is engaged to someone else suddenly breaks it off without any explanation they are a complete shit of a human being, plain and simple. Much like deciding to have a luxury picnic in front of a homeless man, there is nothing illegal about it but that doesn't mean you aren't scum if you do it.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
03 Jan 16 UTC
Yes, a bit too plain and simple to my liking. Especially 'suddenly' is a bit odd IMO. If such a thing is truly sudden to you, that might be part of the problem.

Not to say you shouldn't ask, but it seems likely, someone prone to ghosting will not be open and honest about reasons. "I went crazy," is a strategy to put your attention on her; it could be she is diverting your attention away from her secret alliance with Russia.

@octavious, they may very well be scum, but they may also have reasons. No disrespect to brainbomb, whom I happen to like, but people wanted to mute him in a game which is all about talking... (Love you brainbomb).
Octavious (2701 D)
03 Jan 16 UTC
I can easily understand someone wanting to run a mile from the prospect of marriage to brainbomb, don't get me wrong. But ghosting a fiancee is a vile act of cowardice regardless of whether or not you've seen the light and realised what an abysmal life partner brainbomb would make.

Not that I have any strong feelings towards brainbomb one way or the other. He may well be lovely if you get to know him. Or not.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
03 Jan 16 UTC
They had a dispute about whats better: WTA bill paying or PPSC bill paying. Brainbomb believed in PPSC and she believed in WTA.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
03 Jan 16 UTC
personally I think introducing unranked bill paying and SoS bill paying would have likely saved the engagement.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
03 Jan 16 UTC
I mean being a relationship with the explicit goal to be the best place for "classic" bill paying; I think that PPSC bill paying just didn't have a place ... no offense brainbomb. Maybe if she is offering you SoS or unranked it might be worth considering, or you could just send her to vDip.

So I had an idea we could maybe, as a community, do a vDip crossover tournament; or even just make games on vDip and advertise them over here.... it would help both our sites. Maybe we could start by posting any vDip game links here of games we are trying to start

Security Software
The free period of Norton Security that came with my laptop will end in seven days. My question: what's the best thing to do next? I could stick with Norton for €10 for the first year or I could pick something different.
I'm willing to pay €10, but I don't have a clue what's good and what's bad so if there's something better or equally good for free or the same price, I'd love to hear. I want to know the best option, basically.

Do pseudonyms harm the hobby? An interesting letter in Diplomacy World.
I was reading through the most recent edition of Diplomacy World when I came across the following letter (see the post below). Having only just started to play in proper FTF games, it's not something that had really occurred to me before.

Does using a pseudonym take an important element out of the game? I'd be most interested to hear the opinions of those who are/were involved in FTF scenes, although anyone is welcome to comment.
