EOG: With Marshmallows!
Dear fellow players: Let me apologize for my lousy play as France. Italy, you took advantage of the situation well, but that was one of the sloppiest outings I've had on the site. Best to all in the future.

Who knows anything about the human heart?
My fiance's father has had two heart attacks in the past month. He is 58 and lived in Paris for most of his life (he moved out north of Marseilles to the country 3 years ago). He is not overweight or underweight; and resists smoking. I am having to drive back and forth every weekend (about 1100 km or 700 miles) for her to visit him. What are his chances for survival? Can he get better?

Raising taxes on the rich
I was reading the forums and I am displeased by how many people think taxes should be raised on the rich. What an outrageous idea! It is the rich who create jobs that fuel the economy. In fact, last year alone my company made over 100 new jobs. If the rich have their taxes raised, even more jobs will be lost.

Buying this site
I have been looking around this site and it seems like it is a well made site. I have bought websites in the past and this seems like a worthy one. Would the current site owner contact me on how much he/she would charge for the ownership of the site.

Does cancelling a game make it impossible for a mod to investigate cheating?
If I were to cancel a game, would that make it impossible for a mod to investigate cheating in the game?

Locating a mod
Why am I so stupid I can't figure it out? I have what I think is a pretty obvious example of cheating and know enough not to accuse anyone on the forum... but even after checking the FAQ I can't figure out how to find a mod.

Inflation in GR?
Does your GR naturally rise over time? Given the statement that you supposedly improve each game you play for each experience, if you are in the top 300 now, is it natural to fall within the, say, top 150 6 months from now?

Draw vs point gain survive
Clearly, in WTA, the draw is superior. But what about in PPSC? Would you rather draw for 1/4 the stack, or take a survive for 1/3 of it? I tend to chose the second option so far, because that will maximize my points, and GR I believe.

Are there those who disagree? Do some people believe that anything less than a draw is a loss, even if it's worth more points/GR, and are these the same people that refuse to play PPSC?

You guys have never played with hellalt. I like him (he knows I do), but he goes off on rants when he gets stabbed or someone does something that doesn't fit into his plan. that's why manners aren't important to him. Chainsaw diplomacy is hellalt's modus operandi.

I would love to play. High points and no manners sounds good.
I prefer WTA games and don't like games with longer than 24 hour phases. I'll check back on this thread.

hellalt (24 D)

swordsman3003 you are eligible to game.

"I like him (he knows I do), but he goes off on rants when he gets stabbed or someone does something that doesn't fit into his plan."

I get off on rants when a stab is stupid (like your 2 stabs in 3 turns in our last game together that earned you shit) or when I see bad tactics and shitty strategy.

Hell yeah I don't think diplomacy should be a popularity contest. It's not Barbie of Little Pony. If you don't have BALLS big enough to handle some bad manners then fuck you and go play risk.

I remind you that this game is supposed to be about diplomacy and geopolitics. In real life politics manners don't matter. If you have reasons to ally with someone then you do it even if he is a bully. For example, noone allies with USA before he likes Americans... You ally with USA because you have to gain something or because you are afraid.

That's why I prefer playing gunboat games from now on. Cause people here are just too PUSSIES to handle some real tough diplomacy. Want good manners? Go to a neighborhood barbecue party you jerks!!
hellalt (24 D)
05 Oct 11 UTC
the game will be 24hrs/turn. 10 days per turn? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? Do you really expect me to believe you have so much to do in your MISERABLE PATHETIC life that you don't have time to do some fucking diplomacy and enter a few orders? If yes then get the fuck outta here!!
I am far more scared of polite, vague, tactful players than rude, specific, blunt ones.

Personally, I specifically like to ally with straightforward, if rude players because I think I can get into their heads and know where they stand. Long ranting messages are usually quite thoughtful and can teach you a lot about the strategic situation of the game and what's on the mind of that player.

Let me put it another way: I've never been stabbed by somebody who cursed and ranted at me.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
05 Oct 11 UTC
That's because when someone stabs you they have no reason to cuss you out.
Draugnar (0 DX)
05 Oct 11 UTC
LOL! That was too easy...
Yes, that's kind of what I'm saying. If somebody is cussing you out, it's probably because they're trying to persuade you to not do something they think is a bad move or bad set of moves, or they're just angry at being attacked.

When somebody tries to tell me everything I want to hear and is really polite, that's when I get scared.

Beware the nice ones.
