What's the point in cheating?
I've wondered this about board games both board games and video/computer games. Please provide to me the behind-the-scenes into the psyche of the cheater.
-Does having more kills or WebDip points make you feel better about yourself?
-Is it really worth screwing over the other people involved in the game for you to get a meaningless win?
Please, help me get it.

Nuclear Proliferation
Why do we let a country like North Korea do nuclear tests? Isn't that dangerous? Isn't it even more dangerous because they might sell the knowledge they acquire to islamic nutcases? Discuss.

isnt it time we move forward and stop claiming that we have the right to decide whats best for our kids? or even saying "our" kids. as if parents own them. newsflash - those kids arent yours.

North Carolina Exempts Itself From Constitution
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html

In short: "North Carolina is exempt from the Establishment Clause, and thus can declare a state-endorsed religion if desired." Thoughts?

Discussion of promotions and demotions from the current season will be sorted out by the end of Feb as there is a desire to hold a single A* pool of 7. The target start date for the new season will be 1st of April.

No worries... code it next year. I will sign up if I am clear through the summer but I may be gone for two months so I will wait.

28 Jan 13 UTC
Yeah, I'm not fond of having my email address out there for the world to see.
I was going to say the same thing as Draugnar... I'd prefer not to put my email address in a public spreadsheet. I suppose I could make a new gmail account just for webdip, but that seems like a lot of work to participate in the league...

For players of relatively humble stature like myself, is this the place I should sign up? I've never participated in league play before but I'd like to branch out a bit.

If I was in the fall league, will I be automatically included for next round, or do I have to sign up?
Draugnar (0 DX)
28 Jan 13 UTC
Gotta sign up. There is a place on the signup to indicate that you were in the leagues before.

And @adriens, go to the link above and signup on the google+ spreadsheet.
I'm definitely in! I have a dedicated email but would prefer to not put my email somewhere, possible to have a workaround on that point?

Well, I did fairly well, tied with Draugnar for 2nd-3rd. Too bad about our final game, I could of pulled the lead :P
orathaic (1009 D(B))
28 Jan 13 UTC
@Draug, only those with the link can see it.

And those are people who have seen the link and anyone they have shared the link with.

If you wish to create a seperate email address which auto-forwards to you, and then you delete at the end of the league season that is a technical solution which i'm sure you are able to manage yourself.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
28 Jan 13 UTC
@LakersFan, what Draug said. I'm not planning to email everyone who ever played before, I do have the list, but if they're not here on the forum and active then they don't really need un-solicited emails from me.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
28 Jan 13 UTC
@Minister of war, I will create a webform so the signups can only be seen by me.

HOWEVER, i do want to email everyone, so I intend to share your email with the rest of the players in your pool. Is this ok?

ora, can't you just BCC everyone to maintain anonymity?
orathaic (1009 D(B))
29 Jan 13 UTC
@ghug, No.

I wish you all to be able to communicate with the other 6 players in your league group via email. This is to help facilitate organizing of games when there is no global thread because no game is currently up and running.

I could, for example, email all of the current A* players who haven't finished their last game, but I did not get consent from them to publish their emails. In the past, Aldy and TGM both used emails to contact league players and i feel this is a necessary improvement.

@Orthaic, I can't manage the spreadsheet from my mobile, so could you add me? I can PM whatever info you need.

Also, read the league, but did not see:
- Would I be seeded then into the D league to begin?
- How many games under what rules/variant?

Looking forward to it!
Draugnar (0 DX)
03 Feb 13 UTC
I'm not ora but the individual league groups have generally been random in the past. The only seeding is which league you end up on (A*/Premiere through D). New players to the leagues typically end up in the bottom league and if we need to move some.up one, it's a GR relative thing.

@ora - The 17 hour days are wrapping.up so I should have time to help with the Leagues this spring if you meed it.

I'm confused about the email issue. Aren't our emails published on our profiles already? It would seem that is an implied use.

Are we not going to finish the last game? I have hopes of getting 1 pt so I'm not skunked this season.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

In your settings you can have your email set to not display. Mods/Admins can still see it, but not anyone else.

I thought we were drawing A*4a amongst the six of us that actually bothered to show up (two points each).
orathaic (1009 D(B))
07 Feb 13 UTC
Some people have emails on their profiles hidden as Alderian said. I could (using mod powers) view them, but sharing these with other players without explicit permission would not be ok. So i'm demanding permission to use your emails, and farming out the work of collecting them on a spreadsheet...

@L1star/Draug: Yes, I believe you are drawing the last game. It think the decision should be up to the players, but you're running out of time and I can't recruit anyone to sub in at this late point. (though if they solo'd they automatically qualify for the next A league... hmm, maybe I should play... )

"So i'm demanding permission to use your emails"
