New game starting in 5 minutes. 5 minute quick one.
After work diplomacy, any one? Surely someone else is avoiding work.

Ethics of replacing CDs
Would it be frowned on to find a replacement you know is pliable? In effect, is it okay to take the game into consideration in terms of your hunt for a replacement (or lack thereof)? I feel this is under-discussed, compared to, say, pauses.

Boycott News International
Do boycotts work? Should we boycott a pape and their sister papers and put in jeperdy the careers of innocent workers? Should we support advertisers pulling their adverts and protest against companies who don't pull their ads?

Game will start on next process cycle
How long is a 'process cycle' concerning a live 5 min/phase game?
I just ask because I joined such a game and ended up CDing against my will after waiting for 2 hours for it to start.

Diplomacy strategy articles?
I'm pretty familiar with openings... and general concepts for the mid and late game... and have read the articles available on these topics in the Diplomatic pouch (diplom.org) and the Diplomacy Archive (diplomacy-archive.com)... Where can I learn more about more specific strategies beyond the openings in 1901? Or, at least, where can I find more good articles beyond these two sources? Thanks!

I'm sure it has been asked before, but humor me: why is WTA not the default setting for creating a game?

Kestas - bravo on a job well done getting the donation button visible, and, basically, making all simply aware of the financial needs of this community we all love. Donated last night....$20 Australain Dollars.....this morning I checked the exchange rate and breathed a sigh of relief! lol

Might I also recommend that somewhere there is status page for the financial condition of the site? So that six months down the line we do not fall back into the same position?

Ads won't make the site money - you need to click on the ad to generate money and who is going to click on an ad while they are busy stabbing Germany (no ref to the gaming I am in currently - luv u Ger)? Even if 100 people did click on the ads that would only bring in a couple dollars. Donations are the way to go.
Worked for me. I also like the idea of a countdown, or at least an occasional update to the outstanding requirement.

Geo, I was joking. Lighten up. See....the " :P " was intended to let you know it was a joke. Maybe you haven't figured those connotations yet.

Geofram...again.....lighten up. First of all, the call for placing ads was discussed in depth recently, and *clearly* the decision was made for a more visible donation button, and a call for funds; and likewise, the call for placing ads was rejected. So....his call for ads was uncalled for....

Second....lighten the hell up, man. I did the obligatory :P which, in the world of the internet, implies that the comment was light hearted and not intended to offend. Maybe you take such offense on his behalf because you are a parasite yourself???
krellin (80 DX)
16 Jul 11 UTC
That all being said....anybody that spends a regular amount of time on this site who claims they can't cough up a couple bucks I *do* believe is a parasite. I guarantee every single person that claims that they can *not* make a donation, that it is just impossible, are liars. first and foremost, they posted that claim on a computer (which costs $$) over an internet connection (which costs $$$) and I guarantee that at least once a month they eat out, eat more than they should, buy something they don't need, go to the movies, *something* that is self-indulgent and is not an absolute necessity of life. But, instead of foregoing some selfish desire for a single month and paying into the site which they spend their time on for free....they instead choose to be a parasite and suck off the work of others.

As I suggested in another thread...it would be a very interesting study to examine the donation track-record of "liberals/socialists" versus "conservatives".
Geofram (130 D(B))
16 Jul 11 UTC
I never said I supported ads, I've consistently even supported arguments against them.
I just think your manner is ugly and I don't appreciate it. So again I say, uncalled for.

Waffen SS
If it was August 1939, and you were a German, Aryan male aged 22 and were offered to join the SS (and you had no knowledge about what was to come) do you think you would have been smart enough to say no? Or would you have been sucked in by the lucrative notion of getting to wear that stylish uniform?

I Have An Honest Question Here...
This one's bugged me for a while, really, and I've just got to ask it:

If you believe God sent Jesus to die for our sins or that Jesus wanted to die for our sins and save us and all that...why? If he/they/both are God, ie, almighty, why not just "waive the debt," rather than self-mutilate? And why would either care at all? (and "because he loves us" is NOT a valid answer...somehow Hell + Pain On a Cross =/= LOVE to me...)
