Gunboat to introduce new players to site
I introduced several friends to Webdiplomacy, through a full-press game. Several players (five!) indicated they want to play another gunboat game on the side to get the hang of the site. They're reasonably experienced, so we're looking for two reasonable other players to give some staunch opposition.
Who feels like a game?!

Thoughts of Americans about opinions of "foreigners"about Americans?
So, Americans, what do you think of our opinions of you? What do you think we think about you? I'm curious, because I hear rather often how we are all blaming America blablabla while I know no one who actually does that.

Thank you, abge, for your years of service to webdip
Abgemacht has been around for almost as long as the site, and he has been such a positive force for the site as a player and a mod/admin. His request to retire has been finally accepted :).
Please join me in thanking abge for his years of service.

I am about to graduate...
Hello WebDip community.
I am about to graduate high school (2 weeks after tomorrow) and I was wondering if anybody here has any general tips or experiences they can share with me and/or anybody who is graduating. I believe many of you on this site have gone through college or high school already, and was just wondering if anybody could ease my nerves about my future.
I am going to be attending University of River Falls - Wisconsin in the USA; I plan on becoming a teacher.

Men's Clothing
I just got my first real job last week and now I'm in a bit of a tight spot. My wardrobe needs to be updated to be semi-professional and done (mostly) on the kind-of cheap. My work environment is not overly formal (no tie or suit) but I still want to look good and purchase good quality and good fitting clothing and would like some recommendations.

Using the vote button in gunboat
Can someone please clarify what the new rules are about using the vote buttons in gunboat? Back in the day communication using these buttons was accepted (eg. "Cancel" = let's stop fighting, "Draw" = let's take out the big guy, "Pause" = Somebody help me, etc.). I know there was some tl;dr about it in the Gunboat Tournament thread but if any mods/admins can clear it up here i'd appreciate it.

@ Jasbrum - congrats on the baby girl!

@ Krellin and Dipp - big milestone, is it the first driver for both of you or have you gone through this before?

@ Ava - That was not nice. Funny, but not nice.

@ aureliano - okay, 84 km in 21 hours is a pretty grueling march. I'm duly impressed. Was that with full equipment? I'd like to run the Leadville 100 someday, which requires 162 km in 25 hours, but I'm not sure if I'll ever cross that one off my bucket list. It's pretty crazy and I seriously doubt I'll ever have the time to train for something that challenging.

@ Gunfighter - you've got more guts than me. I'm afraid of heights. I like the *idea* of skydiving but I can really see myself freezing at the last moment and refusing to jump.

@ Krellin - sorry, I didn't read your post well. You said your "oldest daughter" so duh, this is the first kid you've taught to drive.

@ FlemGem

It's not scary at all once you're out the door. You only get the "falling" sensation for a second or two. Once you hit terminal velocity, you feel like you're floating. You can't even tell you're falling unless you look at your altimeter.

Psychologically, you just have to *convince* yourself beyond doubt that you *will not* be landing with the airplane. Any decent tandem instructor will help you get out of the door.

Passed my driving test with my first attempt with only 3 minors, only 3 months after my 17th Birthday.
Not sure how difficult that is in the US as I don't know how the teaching works down there, but trust me, In the UK that's quite impressive :)

Also going from CCD in my AS's to ABB in my A2's in just one year of many resits (essentially doing two years of study in one) to get into a decent university was a fairly proud moment of mine too. Especially my 85% in Economics :)
