A game says it paused on my Notices but did not pause
gameID=12152, Acorrding to my Notices:
Plan of peace
Game has been paused. Thu 09 PM
However, the game seems not to have been paused, maybe because of the reset phase times, and Italy has already gone into civil disorder. How is this sort of thing fixed?

So, I was wondering...
I'm supporting my fleet with two of my armies to a territory.
The enemy support-holds his army in the aforementioned territory with only one army. Normally, I would win. However, if he attacks one of my supporting armies that are in adjacent territories - does he manage to defend himself? A hasty reply would be good.
Thanx in advance!

Nice edit to the end of Dr. Zimmer's wiki. I hope you intend to undo it in a few days.
@LJ_Tyler Durden: Personally that's more along Geek lines under my cultural definition. The fact that the following posts disbelieve that it's unbelievable make me think most of them grew up nerds ^_^

As a vague generalization when I think of nerds, I go for the "Revenge of the Nerds" movie type of character and a geek would be more of a Bill Gates aspect. Not always computer geek etc, just an intelligent well rounded person with nerd tendencies.
God I hate English :P I can't type something without losing the grammar along the lines.

I have always made the distinction that a geek can fit in with regular society, find a girl, get married, buy a house, and raise normal kids if they choose, where as a nerd will live in his parents' basement forever.
DaveH (1611 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
A geek is defined by his obsessive love for- and resulting encyclopedic knowledge of- certain things, particularly cult phenomena. So, one can "be a geek for" any range of topics, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Zoology.
A nerd, on the other hand, is just a disciplined student who is physically weak and mentally strong.
@Draugnar - Your view is very similar to mine.

@DaveH - That is your definition I guess but I've met few nerds who are disciplined students and mentally strong. Who would you place the lives at home usually not always bright but has similar interests as geeks under my definition?

@denis - Yes, I am serious. One day I walked into his office and caught him trolling the forums.

wow thats weird if the wiki is correct he would have left diplomacy not long ago cause of his recent election to the presidency of the university
jman777 (407 D)

Under DaveH and Draugner's classifications I'm 100% geek, mostly because I like History and Psychology.
jman777 (407 D)

and thats hilarious that Diplomat was actually the president of a college. lol Or it's possible that lulzworth made the entire wiki article just to play a practical joke on us.....

how is it possible to have a GPA of more that 4.0?
lulzworth (366 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
An A+ technically counts as a 4.3. However, a 4.33 GPA is impossible. I also suspect denis' enormous knowledge is less than stunning.
uclabb (589 D)

in high school As in AP classes are worth 5. Or at least that is how it is at my school. For example, I had a 4.8 last year.

False. Depends on the institution.
jman777 (407 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
yeah actually I think that up in NH (where my cousins are) they grade it so that an A in an honors class gives you 4.2. It drives me nuts though how there's no standard grading system for schools. lol
Here in AZ high schools any honors/AP class is worth A=5. My wife graduated with about as high as it goes .lol I'm a 2.3 person. I took all honors/AP but never did anything in high school (I was the; "this is a joke mentality" and could never motivate myself in such a cognitive vacuum)
jman777 (407 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
ahhhh!!!! All the disorder is driving me insane. SOmeone should a make a standard and then force everyone to comply to it.

I think it has something to do with National vs. State powers. The individual states each have an educational system a little different than the other.
denis (864 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
i really dont care how it is in your state i got a 4.33 gpa last year i had a 3 two 4's and three 5's
akilies (861 D)
26 Aug 09 UTC
and this was supposed to about the women of the site.

damn i wish i could get 5's on my grading scale, that would help out my gpa :)
Which is the point Denis was ignored when is said "i really dont care how it is in your state". Denis the point in saying they are different is your GPA being higher than another's means nothing if the standards are different. So eat me Denis ^_^

The green dots telling you that someone is currently logged on
I might be wrong about this but I have the feeling that those green dots also show up sometimes although the person is not online.
Just had that in one of my games where there was a dot after the French, that was then gone some minutes afterwards. Still it says: last logged on some hours ago.

Updated, not Finalized
Just starting on PHP, though I've played on FB a bit. On FB, if you update but do not Finalize, the updates go through as your moves. Is that the case here?
Looking forward to this site. Hope to see a lot less people bailing on games early.
