He's Metagaming...

Would any of you guys be up for a 2 or 3 game variant where the purpose is to metagame? Has anyone played a game like this, and if so how well did it work out? I have no points at the moment, but in a week or so I should be able to host the games :)

Greetings citizens of webdiplomacy! Some of you may remember me and some may not, but I have returned from my self imposed exile that began this summer when I had to excuse myself from being a professor in the SoW. Life has chilled out for the most part and I am ready to start climbing the ladder once again. To celebrate this, I will be holding the Return of the King Invitational. If you wish to play, please leave a reply with your preferred phase length, map, bet size, press style, and anon/non-anon. I hope to start games after the holiday season has passed, that way we can eliminate lengthy pauses, so if you will be available to play after New Year's, feel free to sign up.

I'll play
phase length: 48hours
map: classic
bet size: don't care
press style: full
anon/non-anon: don't care

Socrates Dissatisfied (1727 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

Good to see some interest. So far:
Game 1: WTA, 48 hrs phases (please ready up on builds and retreats to accommodate those who like 36 hrs), Anon, Classic map, full press, bet size of 25.

Achillies, if we get more people in here, you'll be in game two, otherwise I'll get you in game one if someone can't make it. Everyone - Remember that games will start after New Years.

Mapu (362 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

Looks like a nice motley crew. Thanks for setting it up.

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

No problem! I do hope to get some more people involved in this.

Mapu (362 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

Rosaville -- I see that you resigned your last two games on your profile. Is that anything to be concerned about? Everyone else in the game is known to be very reliable (I am assuming King is)

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

Haha, yes, I am reliable. I do not have a single resign to my name.

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

If those involved in the first game would rather start playing now then wait, we can do so if there will be no pauses over the holidays, as that was what I was trying to avoid.

Mapu (362 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

I am good with starting now.

Socrates Dissatisfied (1727 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

i can start anytime

qtlp (473 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

I'm fine with starting now.

VirtualBob (192 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

Go ahead without me ... I am pretty booked up for now. Put me on the list as a back-up or for the second game.

KingRishard (1153 )
13 Dec 12 UTC

So far we've got 4 willing to start now. I'll move you to the second game, Virtual. Achillies, would you wanna take his spot if we start ASAP?

KingRishard (1153 )
14 Dec 12 UTC

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )

I would prefer to wait, but would also be okay with starting now.

Two Questions about the Forum that I couldn't find in the help

1) If you mute a thread, is there any way to unmute it?
2) At what point do your posts and Threads move to the link that you can click on from your profile? They seem to be several weeks old. Is it a page count thing? or a timing thing?

Presidential amnesty

Our beloved universal genius, Master of the Universe and president of the Czech Republic, Tunnelgramps Václav Klaus recently ordered an amnesty for 1/3 of all prisoners to celebrate 20 years since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia he so masterfully orchestrated. Another 500 pardons are in the pipes as well, gotta help the pals out before his time in the office runs out.

The sciences

A recent post by dubmdell on the beauty of science struck me as being rather eloquent. It paused me to stop and think what the relative proportion of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students were across our various countries. In the UK in 2010, for example, there were 12,000 psychology and 10,000 history graduates. Chemistry and physics had 2,400 and 2,200 respectively.

Republicans defend the rich

I am from Europe, so I don't know much about American politics. I always thought that the GOP is for the hard working people. But it seems more and more that they just defend the rich. Sounds stupid to me, is a rather sure way to loose votes.

Trigger Laws

These are laws which do nothing unless certain conditions are first met.

So some (US) states will automatically ban abortion if Roe V Wade is overturned; or automatically ban human cloning if it becomes possible to achieve; however i really like the following rule: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

The Greatest (Love) Story Ever Told?

It's not "Romeo and Juliet"...surely we all agree?
It's not "La Boheme," however much I love that opera.
It's not "Les Miserables" (at least not the musical/film version, two lines and BAM! instant, undying love between Marius and Cosette...lol!)
So...what is it--triumphant, comedic or tragic, as we approach the romance of New Years', what IS The Greatest Love Story Ever Told?
