What *I'd* really love to know
Do any other "business professionals", persay, play Diplomacy? If so, what's your favorite method of economic analysis? Where do you see the world going in the next decade? How are you working to keep your skills up to date?

I'll play, but I don't do live games much anymore. It's easy to just go back and change orders.
Anyway, yeah, I prefer bongs and pipes. I'm from Dallas, United States.

Being stoned somehow helps. Easier to take stabs, see the big picture and take it easy :)

Did Praetorian just admit to breaking the law? I don't believe Texas has made pot legal yet.

Draugnar (0 DX)
28 Oct 10 UTC
Of course not (I don't partake but think it should be legalized and controlled like alcohol is), but I did find it funny he confessed to a crime on an internet forum for all the world to see. :-)
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
28 Oct 10 UTC
Well, "he" didn't Praetorian did. It would be a bit of a hassle to actually find him.

Also, I'm in complete agreement. Just voted on the non-binding proposition to legislate pot in Mass. We could use the money, why not just do it?

@Ivo - I'm in agreement with you that it somehow helps. :) I'll stare at the map going through various moves for while...but sometimes, just when I have it all figured out, I enter a wrong order and screw myself. :(

I'm not sure that this is the best subject to be discussed in a site/forum that is also used by teenagers...
It banalizes the subject but after all it is still illegal in the majority of the users countries.
I don't see how the community can benefit from knowing how people smoke it and where they do it.
It's a free forum where anything can be discussed, I know, but I don't see the point.

We've been through this before and I absolutely refuse to censor myself because teens and tweens happen to show up here. This is an unmoderated forum and we can discuss what we want until Kestas and the Mods (Rock On!) declare a subject "bannable" and they haven't done that to any subject yet.
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)
28 Oct 10 UTC
Hmm, Troodonte might have a point.
Yes, though rarely, a one hitter, and US.
Troodonte (3379 D)
28 Oct 10 UTC
That's why we have a brain Draugnar... to decide what we should do and what we shouldn't when there is nothing guiding us.

Anyway, this is just my opinion...
Draugnar (0 DX)
28 Oct 10 UTC
My brain says I should practice free speech and fight censorship wherever I may find it, Troodonte.
Troodonte (3379 D)
28 Oct 10 UTC
I believe we are not talking about the same thing Draugnar.

youradhere (1345 D)
28 Oct 10 UTC
Actually Troodonte, you may have a point. Most teenagers have never heard of marijuana, just as they rarely if ever engage in underage drinking. It may be best not to present the idea to them for the first time in an area as irresponsible as an internet forum.
Draugnar (0 DX)
28 Oct 10 UTC
We are talking about the same thing. You want us to not discuss things that might influence teenagers. I'm saying that is censorship, even if in a passive sense. You are trying to censor the conversation "for the sake of the teens" by guilting us into not talking about it. That makes me want to talk about it all the more.
Praetorian308 (100 D)

This thread is making me paranoid.

"It's a free forum where anything can be discussed, I know, but I don't see the point."

Well, the point is exactly that...a free forum where anything can be discussed.

I'm with Draugnar on this. If we ban talk of marijuana, what is next?

Middle Eastern History
I'm working on a curriculum for my AP World History class with a friend and it's my job to come up with resources covering Asia from 8000bc to 1450ad. I've found pretty much everything I need except for resources regarding Middle Eastern History. Do any of you know of good books that give a historical survey of the region in the time period I'm looking at? They can be online articles or books it doesn't matter.

Thanks.

So...Remember that "Star Trek Variant Map" I Brought Up Before?
I mentioned this summer that I'd like to try and work out a map for the Star Trek universe, with the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Borg, and maybe one other race (some said leave it at six with those powers, some suggested one more race to make the usual seven) as the powers, the planets as centers/"land," and space/wormholes as the "sea" spaces. So...bringing that up to speed...

Support rules question
I have a question concerning the rules of cutting support.
Here's the hypothetical situation: I have an army in Belgium and a fleet in the North Sea. Germany has an army in Holland and an army in Ruhr. Germany orders Ruhr to Belgium supported by Holland. What happens if I convoy my army from Belgium to Holland via the North Sea? Does it cut the support or is it the same as if I attacked on land (i.e. Germany takes Belgium anyway)?

Game messages stat?
So there's this stat on my profile called "game messages." I would expect that every piece of press I send would increase this stat, but it's been sitting at 42 for a long time now. Am I misinterpreting the meaning of the stat or is it just the mystique of 42?

specifically, ask him about what to do when three advice threads pop up in the space of 24 hours. Who's to blame? Should we try bumping 'em off the first page? Will the mods ban the creators, or let us linger here in pain? Please note: I reserve the right to "pull a Thucy."
