Fisher v. Texas
This is a case going before the Supreme Court soon regarding affirmative action at my university. It's a big deal around here, needless to say. You are welcome to comment on the case here. Please don't be racist.

Xenocide
Would it be wrong to fight a war of extermination against a separate sentient species? With or without provocation, as in they started the war, and we are just finishing it, or we both compete for the same scarce resources so we wipe them out.

Sorry About That aka I'm Not Dead
Yeah, not much more I can say beyond that. Nothing bad or tragic, all good things actually, I just didn't have time to tie up loose ends with WebDip in a responsible manner before having to jet. Hope everything is well in this community. I do miss the game and the people, at least most of you! =P Would be interested in seeing if I still know how to play some time.

Wait wait wait. Sandgoose was banned? Cue success kid eating sand.

Re: TedX@VirginiaTech, I didn't make the final cut. I went into the final presentation completely unprepared. BUT, I am currently heading my own research team meant to pursue the same topic and that happened out of one of the professors on the committee, so it still had a good outcome. If they have one next year (this one is next month and has some really amazing talks lined up), then hopefully the theme/topic will be better suited towards my subject matter.

yes! Sandgoose was banned. It is so awesoem :-)

Aww, guys, why y'all gotta hate Sandy so much?

Also, he just got back from his vacation and is quite unhappy. He's appealing his case now.

Because you don't get your own joke. That's kind of like how if I am typing out a sentence, you can probably predict what the last word is going to be before you actually finish reading octopus.

Ah! He let you know. Awesome. Can you keep us informed on how it is going?
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Oct 12 UTC
Hey Fortress, I would guess that it's because nobody finds your juvenile "trolling" finny, but Lando's demands for justice were absolute comedic gold.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
10 Oct 12 UTC
And if he did what the mods say he did, I'm not going to vouch for him.
Fortress Door (1837 D)
10 Oct 12 UTC
meh, I still get the occasional + 1 for those. I got 3-4 of them on Zmaj's thread for saying Russia owns the color purple
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
10 Oct 12 UTC
Then maybe you should stop trying and just post like a normal person instead of shooting for +1s.
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Oct 12 UTC
Sandgoose's claim, and I'll admit that I believe him here, but also that I'm biased, is that NKCell is his twin brother and that he didn't actually know that until after he was banned, so he isn't in the wrong. Do those of you that were in that tournament with them (the only time they played together), remember anything seeming suspicious?
Fortress Door (1837 D)
10 Oct 12 UTC
I don't recall anything, they seemed to kill each other pretty well.

But it does seem unlikely to not know your twin brother's username... I am sure the mods would not mess up that completely

and they played a gunboat together, ghug, where they did work together
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Oct 12 UTC
See what bo_sox said. It seems to be working really well for everyone else in this thread.
Fortress Door (1837 D)

ghug went on a + 1 spree -_- :P

There was a pair a long, long time ago - forget the name - that were notorious as multis because they used the excuse that they were friends at school and signed up on the same IP address (their school network). It was obvious that they worked together and I don't know what happened to them. Case in point, siblings or friends can't be in the same games at all in my opinion unless it is CLEARLY known prior.

mods don't ban because you happen to ally with your friends/family

Affirmative Action
In my opinion it is time to get rid of Affirmative Action and its racist ideals, and this supreme court case will hopefully make AA less racist.

when I make Mexican wraps. I fry chicken, then add paprika and some corn, mesh some avocados into a good guacamole sauce (some lemon, little garlic, you know) and some "creme fraiche" with mild chili. But now I want to spice up my chicken. Post recommendations here please. :-)

I just looked at the vDiplomacy site someone mentioned below and it looks interesting. However I've tried to register without success—I have yet to receive my validation email nearly an hour after requesting one. I've also tried logging on with my webDiplomacy username, but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Atheist/Agnostic Judge for "The Great Debate" Needed
811 posts in, but we're nearly there, we have all the debates submitted to judges...we just have a bit of a problem there.

We had 5, went down to 3, and now we have 4 (it works 2 atheists, 2 Christians, 1 neutral) and we need an atheist judge...so, anyone up for it? (The sooner we scare up a judge, the sooner that thread goes away...?) :)
