Rules of life?
Does anyone has some sort of rules they live by, like the Ten Commandments? Semper Fidelis? Carpe Diem? Anything you live by?

An important one for me would be: Sometimes you're wrong.
I'm thinking of making a list for myself so I know what I want if it ever gets to a rash decision of big importance or something...

did obama really set a trial for osamas son in law in the states
how did this happen? this is the only reasonable thing i think his administration has done in recent memory. will this be a public hearing? everything i am sure will be classified - they cant let people know the truth about any of this al qaeda stuff. but just bringing him into the country is something. did this guy have absolutely no knowledge of the organization? how could obama do this?

Point Tax
It seems to me there is a great disparity in the number of pints people have, with some having earned thousands, and other often stuck below 100. It is time to implement a Point Tax, perhaps monthly, to supplement to lower-tiered players who can not/will not earn and save points. Who's in???

absurd amounts of sugar in a venti
so new york will make it illegal to put more than 3 teaspoons of sugar in a venti. so you sugar addicted assholes have to start carrying around packets of sugar. but i guess this probably doesnt apply to self-serve sugar - so maybe starbucks is still ok.

Advice to a new online player
Hey--

Although I'm no stranger to board games, or negotiating games (there's a Game of Thrones boardgame that--at least when I play it--includes a Diplomacy-style negotiating phase) I am new to Diplomacy. Needless to say, I'm new to this site as well. As a 30-something high-school history teacher familiar with strategy/negotiation, what is the best advice a long-time player can offer me?

Can't leave game
Hi,

This and 11 other accounts I control were created to fill slots in a large game with some friends. We wanted to play the 17 player map with less than 17 people (we are aware of balance issues with this), and our schedules are varied which disallows us from having shorter turns.

hahaha, he muted me :P
Probably because he still thinks he's right about 2 throws with 1 die being different from 1 throw with 2 dice in chance calculation... I should mute him but I don't want to mute anyone :P
krellin (80 DX)

He probably lied about muting you, two. If muted, you can't PM him. I PM'ed him...he's a lying sack...

yeah just tested it, het lied, didn't know that though but I believe you :)

06 Mar 13 UTC
And the best part is, he has to carry on the charade, even though I caught him in an open lie. He can't come on now and refute me. Which means he is just sitting there...watching us post...seeeething in anger because he's a libtard, and that's what he does.

I've had a PM bounce when I was muted, unless that function has been modified. if you mute a person, it would not make sense to be allowed to receive PM's from them.

Honestly, anyone who mutes semck has serious self-confidence issues.
And, also, I get a message confirming it.
At first, the PM seemed to go through ('Private Message sent succesfully').

But going back to the home screen shows a message: 'PM not sent, user has muted you'.

So muting somebody is not an invisible thing.

YAY!! New blood in this hell where SYnapse acts like he doesn't hear us! UNBEARABLE!!
"Honestly, anyone who mutes semck has serious self-confidence issues. "

Just exactly what do you mean by that? :-o
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
06 Mar 13 UTC
semck is always polite and reasonable when debating. His only crime is that he actually makes you think about and defend your position. Therefore, anyone who mutes him must do so because they are unable to handle anyone challenging their beliefs.
ghug (5068 D(B))

While it's true that semck is nice, his argumentative style is filled with bad analogies, claims of fallacy when there isn't any, and a tendency to focus in on a very small point which he thinks he can win while ignoring the bigger picture. It can be infuriating at times.

That said, you're almost certainly right in this case.

I have a question about muting a person. If you end up in an anonymous, full press game with someone that you muted, can you communicate with them in-game?

Muting a player does not affect games, and muting someone in a game does not affect outside of the game.
