No idea what to do...
So, in this game, I am facing 3 countries that are in a permanent alliance. They don't actually coordinate very well, which allowed me to get into a stalemate line. Their response to this, was just to continue doing what they were doing. I can't seem to get them to talk to me at all. They won't turn on each other. I am not sure what to do.

Pause please
gameID=13085

Everyone has agreed to pause except France, who keeps going NMR. He hasn't gone yet, but probably will, and has gunboated (I think) everyone in the game.

Private game needs seventh
Once again I started a private game and need a seventh player. The six of us have played together several times but I can assure there are no pre-determined alliances. The game name is Loki's Labyrith. Password is bladetoback if anyone is interested. Just need one to begin.

Site Error: Game 13309
I am playing game 13309 as Austria. The system apparently held all units and finalized my turn during the second round. I had been waiting for the "!!" signal that I had moves to make and only because I happened to look did I notice that all units were set to hold and finalized, even though I had placed no such order, nor recall having even been given the option of placing orders before they were entered by the system. Fortunately, this error was caught before all players had finalized.

Civil Disorder vs. Civil Disorder
According to the rules, civil disorder is the state a country enters when it misses any turn. Shouldn't this be noted in the game right away instead of after 2 turns? I am not saying that other people should be able to take up your country after only one missed turn. I am saying that after one missed turn, the civil disorder tag should be applied, and after two missed turns, an ‘open’ or similar tag should be applied.

Applauding a player in a gunboat...
Ever have one of those situations where you want to applaud a brilliant move by an opponent in a gunboat game? I wish there was a 'Tip of the Cap' button, so you could do that without violating gunboat moves. In 2-3 weeks when the game ends, it won't mean as much.

Online indicator gives away anon games
I often play private games against friends, several of whom are in different time zones. We're finding that the online and Last Seen indicators give you a pretty good clue about who's who. Probably applicable only to these situations, but I think for a truly anonymous game, they're undesirable.

@tailboarder. I was writing software before the now uberf-famous 1984 Mac commercial. My first software development job was in 1982 as a co-op at Mead Digital Systems on an Apple ][+ interfacing it with an oscilliscope for graphing purposes and a DEC PDP 11 for data storage and Fortran number crunching.

@Draugnar. Does anyone even know what Fortran is anymore? I haven't heard that since my first round of college. The funny part is my spell checker doesn't recognize it.

Life doesn't have to be depressing. Do what you enjoy. There are jobs out there that are rewarding, fun, may not pay the best but not a bad living. If you like what you do you never work. I have the second best job in the world.

I figure it will all work itself out. Plan for the future and save. I started when I was 23 and am glad of it. I will be happy on my boat drinking beer and fishing. I know I already do that but I will have a boat I can live on when I retire.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
You too, huh tailboarder? :)

@ Invictus - The important thing is to have a plan. If I am fortunate enough to become an octagenarian, my wife has given me permission to both sit on the park bench and harmlessly ogle young ladies as they jog by and to yell at kids that walk on the lawn. Now I just have to get my short term plans aligned.
Invictus (240 D)

It's not so much having a job and money, I'm fairly confident I'll be fine there. It's getting flabby and needing to have a colonoscopy and not being able to go out and have fun when I want.

I've found at least five gray hairs since the summer, so I've been kinda fatalistic lately.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Those gray hairs increase exponentially when you have kids. Just wait. But it's the greatest thing in the world (w/ the possible exception of finding the perfect woman).
tailboarder (100 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Well other than embarrassing flatulence that comes after the colonoscopy its not so bad. The part that sux is the day before... Purging.
I'm 37 and reasonably active. I am not overweight at all.
@lanGaidin- I don't have permission but I ogle young ladies now. My wife says she can't take me anywhere... True story- I once got dinner & drinks comped by flirting with a waitress. I was with my wife.
tailboarder (100 D)

Hold out for the perfect woman. DO NOT SETTLE!!!

LanGaidin (1509 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
On a tangent, since so many in this thread are teens. I have two pieces of advice for what it's worth. First, truly learn to be content; it's not as simple as it sounds, but it can be. Second, find the right woman, treat her like a queen, hang on and enjoy the ride.

That's all I've got and I'll leave this thread to you young rapscallions and ne'er do wells.

@tailboarder - Ah Pascal... I wrote and hand assembled a key stroke handler and put it in as inline machine code in a Turbo Pascal program cause Borland's keyhandler would drop key strokes on occassion. I wonder if that code is still in production. Probably not after 23 years.
