Dr. Hackenbush or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Look On The Bright Side of Life
I love philosophy/literature, sports, Trek, and comedy, and as I've already done threads on two (three) two of my three favorite things (four favorite things) four favorite things, it's time to do the third thing (fourth thing) foruth thing and pay homage to The Top Comedies Of All-Time! (So, nominate away (3 per person and has to be an original film, ie, no Shakespeare or Greek comedies) and when we get enough, say, 20 (or 42?) we'll vote for the Best Comedy Film Ever!

CDs taken over by bots
There are quite a few decent algorithms out there for playing Diplomacy. Sure, they do not negotiate, but they do make decent choices based on the situation. Why not implement one of them so when a player goes CD, such bot simply takes over the country, until another player steps in?

wtf?
we all know that news is more entertainment than current events, and everything has a spin. Lately though, I've been feeling like I'm living inside a reality TV show or something. Everythings 'gone pear shaped'.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Impersonations/ Impressions of webdiplomacy.net players
Anyone want to give an impression of another member of the site? Could be amusing...
Rules:
1. Not every post can be taking the piss out of obiwan, Draugnar and hellalt.
2. Please keep it fun. It is one thing to poke fun, quite another to be downright rude and offensive. Also, if a member asks you to stop impersonating them, do so.

He was just our first real, ridiculous troll, and the whole thing got even more ridiculous when people began asking him who he actually was, you know, IRL.

He actually made some pretty specific claims. Only problem is that they didn't exactly.... check out. Much like most of what he says.

So basically we theorize he is around 10-16 y/o, but he lied and said he was a professor, married. Etc.

Anyway. That's the tale. Just imagine what he posts now, except much more inflammatory rather than just idiotic and inane. And with *even less* credibility.
I don't know if his comments are that inflammatory. Granted, I wasn't on the site at the time, but at first glance his threads/replies don't appear to have anything worthy of a ban. Certainly very high volume, but not too much worse than obiwanobiwan during a prolific week. He's also got a mild pathological streak but again nothing bannable in lying... this is a Diplomacy site after all.

Links to Diplomat1824's threads and replies.

Forgive Thucy. He's more than a little scatterbrained. Glue must be on sale at Wal-Mart.

diplomat was banned for the specific reason of posting the exact same thread about 50 times in a row, ostensibly, to push a thread that was offensive to it, off of the page.

Imagine this page that you are looking at, with nothing but the same stupid U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!! diplomat thread. It was spam for the sake of spam; nothing more.

Now kestas has safeguards in place to prevent this, as much as possible.

The attention-whores, like obi, have free reign to embarrass themselves ad infinitum with their thought provoking Star Trek threads.

Yes Perry, TMW stands for Dr._The_Master_Warrior_PhD, the user previously known as Diplomat1824 or "Diplofool" to most forum users.

He was banned as Diplomat 1824 for being a massive troll, but the mods allowed him to start a new account a little later on. That new account is Dr._The_Master_Warrior_PhD.

Actually, it was a depth charge. Edi-bombs are in-game. Depth charges are on the forum.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
15 Sep 10 UTC
I think Edi-bombs = depth charges. I remember Edi getting really offended that we renamed depth Charges after him,
Thucydides (864 D(B))
16 Sep 10 UTC
I agree with abge. Why did we name them edi-bombs anyway? I remember asking because i was confused and no one would tell me for fear of a noob coming in and getting some ideas they shouldn't have...
mapleleaf - 1 for hypocrisy.

Draugnar (0 DX)
16 Sep 10 UTC
We named it the Edi-bomb because Edi Birsan pointed out that you could just send messages to the chat box until the slip up scrolled off the top. This was before the message history screen.

A depth charge is similar but was used when we only had one page of forum posts to push a message off the bottom of the page.

that is the thread where he first lied about the phd and was called out extensively.

i had forgotten that i prompted the lie. lol.

i can't find the thread where the TMW-diplomat link was first discovered though.

haha. that was kind of fun.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Causality, Divinity, and Free Will (To Power!) ;)
OK, so a bit of a hiatus after that GREAT Philosopher Knockout Contest (congrats to Plato, Seneca, Kant and Locke for being selected as the Rushmore of Philosophy...I'm sure they're honored.) ;) Anyway, fresh from my Philosophy of Religion class to the WebDip forums: Does causality prevent free will (at least as we conventionally think of it), would a deity do so...and just how free CAN mankind be? If there is no/limited free will, is morality a farce?
