Is Playing Diplomacy a "Right?"
How many teenagers and twenty-somethings fritter away their days playing diplomacy instead of making sure they get an education or aren't a burden on society?

Why is America in so much debt?
The size of America's debt is staggering and it is really hard to imagine it ever being paid off and the long term negative consequences are very worrying. How did a country run by smart people allow itself to get into this awful predicament?

variant idea
Has this been tried before?

So I'm thinking of attempting to design some kind of randomly generated map to stir things up and avoid the same old alliances and same old outcomes. Would the community be interested in something like this? Would the powers that be support it if I was able to develop a good one?

Abgemacht is an asshat fucktard.
He is the worst mod fucking damaging the community by insisting on bumping a post to the top that insults graphically and abusively another player in the opening message. Let's see how the fucktard likes this post staying at the top!

First, the thread in question only hurt one person: the OP. Everyone including the target knew that thread was full of shit and not worthy of anyone's attention.

Second, I was not bumping it back to life; that was someone else. I was merely responding after it was at the top.

But, please, bump this as much as you'd like. It takes more than that to hurt my efeelings. And, on a plus note, maybe now maple will stop giving you such a hard time about brown nosing the mods : )

Bullshit. The thread in question hurts the community as a whole whenever someone new sees it at the top and doesn't know the history. Don't be so fucking dense. And my problem was with you smacking me down for trying to get others to stop bumping the thread when the forum is "self moderating". Iwas trying to get them to self moderate and you smacked me down. So fuck off cocksucker.

Yes, because this thread is a shining example of what the community can do if we put our minds to it.

I wasn't trying to smack you down. I thought it was very clear I was joking by the ": )" I affixed to the end of my comment. If you truly didn't want to keep bumping that thread, perhaps you shouldn't have responded to me almost an hour after my last post, no?

My thoughts exactly. I thought Draug had turned over a new leaf seeing how he has gradually become more friendly over the past few months, but now I see he's back.
Rommeltastic (1101 D(B))
12 Aug 11 UTC
Are the trolls REALLY so desperate that they can't troll other threads, and they need to resort to creating threads to insult a SPECIFIC and generally well respected individual to get attention? It would seem that the poltergeists of our forums are resorting to the tactics that teenage girls use to get attention.

Whatever happened to the day when trolling could be refined, well versed, and could make people drip with anger? All I see here is people bitching and moaning about it. Sure, at least some of them are able to admit error, but then some of their critics take up the mantle. This is embarrassing, Draug.

Draug I really do mean this nicely. You are really funny guy and a great member of the community, but you are a little bit of a hypocrite. It's not that your point doesn't have some merit, but you don't exactly have best record yourself. It's a bit like "I used to be a bad ass, but now I have turned over a new leaf, everyone else has to live up to my moral superiority - that is until I change my mind and do whatever the hell I want again". Granted you have made your point, but you aren't the only person with a special license to "make points".

Of course there is another way of looking at this thread. Yet another piece of brilliant comedy from the King of the Forum - Draugnar. You keep us entertained. So I don't really mind your (occasional) rants, just so long as you don't stress yourself out unnecessarily.

There was a point to this thread folks. I intentionally went OTT to make it clear that constantly bumping krellin's CM insult thread with all those nasty insults in the main post was rude. When I asked in the other thread that they stop responding seeing as krellin had done what he could to make amends, abgemacht essentially asked who appointed me as a forum cop. He may have used the smiley face ": )", but coming from a mod when the mods have declared us all to be forum cops (that's what self moderating is), I found it rude and insulting and decided to do this to make my point clear.

After I did this, people suddenly stopped responding to the other thread and krellin even pointed out he wasn't going to any more. So my point got across to them.

But the point was made and this is my last post to this thread.

So I'll conclude with an apology to abgemacht. I still think a mod shouldn't even joke about someone being a forum cop when the mods have declared the forums self moderating, but this thread, while having it's desired effect, was pushing the line. For that I am sorry, abgemacht.

Draugnar out (of this thread).
Watch out. Draugnar doesn't know good internet etiquette.

@Rommeltastic well written classic anti-troll troll (a standard meta-troll)... seems it didn't catch though.

So, instead of bitching in the thread out of topic on the comment that was already out of topic, we're going to create a topic just on bitching? Draug, you are an OOT king, you should have kept to it. So now I'm forced to OOT this thread...

So football has started. How 'bout them Steelers, eh?
Rommeltastic (1101 D(B))

@Fortknox Thanks for the implied compliment and the obvious insults, I'll wear them proudly.

Why is the colonial variant disabled?
I noticed that there are four other variants that are on the server yet are disabled. What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't more variants mean more gameplay for the members here? I know I'm new here so if there was a good reason before I left, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Sort of a Goodbye
School will be starting soon, so I'll have trouble keeping up with all of my games. I will definitely be taking a break, so you might not see me again until December. By then, I'm sure I'll have several new people to argue with in the forums and quite a few of you will have forgotten about me. But that's great! Wouldn't it be nice to have some worshippers on WebDiplomacy? That way I'd win every game!

I never understand why people would ever want to have one-night stands/casual hookups. If you're attracted to someone enough to fuck them, why wouldn't you want to date them? I mean, I'm sure sex is fun, but wouldn't a relationship+sex be even more fun?

Had some time to explore Portland, OR today. It was really nice. Clean, not congested, I never had to wait to cross the street. Overall, a much "happier" city than Boston. Oh, and a cute chick was dancing around flashing people, so no complaints there.

England's Riots
Does anyone oever there--or over here, for that matter--know what's going on, ie, why these folks are rioting?

All I get in searching for it are notifications about England's...cricket team...? And a friendly? Is that it, is this all one big "soccer riot," so to speak, or has Yahoo's serach engine failed once again, and there are real, important reasons behind all this?
