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.

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.

I've been thinking about what herbs to use for my chicken
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. :-)

Fortress Door (1837 D)
10 Oct 12 UTC
I am really upset with Russia and England. And with Italy to a lesser extent.

England: DEFEND YOUR CENTERS! GROW SOME BALLS AND FIGHT
Russia: I was NOT going to attack you, you just needed to sit there. AND YOU BLEW IT
Italy: I understand your motives, but you REALLY flipped up over the misorder
Germany: why the move east in the last phase????
Turkey: felt good to kick your ass
France: well played

1905 sealed it. I about cried when I saw Italy disband Apullia. We need to defend teh south

You know what, if Austria is going to thank Italy for laying off by attacking her in 1903, then fuck Austria.

The only times I have done well with austria I got greedy and stabbed italy only to have them ruin my game out of spite. Best to leave italy as an ally until you conquered turkey and beat russia back to st. pete. Otherwise you get gang banged by 3 tiny nations.

Well, Russia was busy with England and Germany teh time, and Turkey was content to bash into Sevastopol constantly

France was the threat BEFORE you attacked me. Once you attacked me, we were screwed. By throwing in with France, I just sped it up.

England was bullshit the whole time.

And yeah, I'm sure it felt good to be the final kicker out of my three neighbors of which I got attacked from in every direction. I just threw it whichever way I felt like it.

So I am not allowed to attack anyone? God, you just want me to sit around all game with no solo threat?

look at the map. England basicly gave France the centers, Germany played noobishly, and Italy refused to work with me
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
10 Oct 12 UTC
Not basically.. England DID give France the centers, and Germany sucked. Austria or the winner between Russia and myself - I made sure there wasn't one, that's what you get - was his only contest, and there was too much entertainment going on between Italy and the rest of the map to stop it.

I attacked Italy in 1903, realized France was the threat in 1905, attacked France. Italy disbanded the crucial unit we needed

>>So I am not allowed to attack anyone? <<
You could have had a monster game in the east. Instead, you turned around and attacked me at a time when France was emerging as the dominant power in the West. With a center or two from Turkey, I could have checked his Mediterranean expansion. .

No, its Italy who is forbidden to be attacked or else France will solo

I was fine with being attacked until it was France being the solo threat
JimTheGrey (968 D(S))
10 Oct 12 UTC
Quality play? The problem with that game, FD, is that you weren't paying attention to the consequences of your moves.

WTA or not, sometimes a game has to become a teaching game. Next time you're playing Austria and you have a friendly Italy, don't attack him unless you've settled the East and are ready to roll West. And even then, make sure you don't need his navy.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))

everygame is a teaching game for me.
Fortress Door (1837 D)
10 Oct 12 UTC
Turkey had only two centers left and was fine with disbanding the only unit to defend against me
Russia was being harrassed by the England-Germany alliance

You barely HAD a navy. If I took Venice I would've had a bigger navy then you

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...?) :)
