Paused Game
I have a game that was paused, but one player hasn't returned for 3 days (he is not the one that requested the pause) and everybody else is ready to go again. How long does etiquette demand we wait? Can we even GET somebody to unpause it?

Need a sitter
I have one game (a gunboat) that I need a sitter for. Can anyone help me out, please?
I assume there is no appropriate way to contact the people in the gunboat to request a pause.

Just a thought--since we have so many apt and opposing personalities on the site that frequently debate topics, anyone interested in a more formalized session? Format ideas and the rest inside--and definitely open to ideas here--but basically it'd be sort of like the forum equivalent of a live game: 5 minutes for posts on the topics given, and then 2 minutes for a rebuttal, one person goes after another...we'll select for an impartial debate moderator...points awarded by moderator, and so on?

Please, if you have the time, consider being a sitter for me!
The games are gameID=60453 and gameID=61014. I'm having sudden time commitments and am neglecting both games dreadfully - messages not responded to, barely entering orders on time, etc. The other players deserve better. Does anyone reliable want to sub for me until I get back on my feet? I'll greatly appreciate it!

Well, ladies and gents of WebDip, I have opinions--so do you. That being said, my opinions are just that, opinions, and *I* don't have a clear, 100%, fail-safe answer to every single matter of running a nation.
LUCKILY, however, we here at WebDip DO have such an esteemed, enlightened individual, who, as has been evidenced time and time again, is correct no matter what. So, I give him the floor: Putin--please, explain how we might all prosper in a Perfect Putinist Polity!

Yes, your chances with her and/or her friends are zero, unless one of them is into being dominated.

You also don't have to her ask her to a dance, but you do have to ask her out on a date of sorts.

"I have 2 friends who are girls. I am not attracted to either of them. So that wouldn't work for me. This was my attempt at becoming friends with an attractive girl."

You can't be that stupid. If you are, though, you're probably hopeless till college.

Bro, just stop.

The best advice is to pretend this never happened, and to never EVER EVER do this again. This is just embarrassing. In fact, i posted your original post to a Facebook group I'm in so that they could enjoy this too.

I have no idea why you thought any of this was remotely OK. Her and her friends obviously already think you're weird/creepy. Stop being weird/creepy.

You know what i get out of this? You simultaneously have no self-esteem and think you are the smartest/coolest/whatever person in the world. you are afraid she will give you a fake number, yet you get *angry* that she didn't want to talk to you. Get some help.

@abge I'm glad I could be of service to you.
The thing is, all the attractive girls at my high school are interconnected. It might go as far as friends of friends of friends, but would those girls hear about this do you think? Cause if so then I'm screwed till college. And I still have to wonder why she hasn't blocked me (or her friends, for that matter). It seems so strange that she wouldn't block me if she was a offended as you say she would be. But I see no reason as to why she wouldn't be as offended as you say.

I think your screwed until college (or longer) for other reasons...
btw, my previous comment was made before I saw any of the 3 comments before it.
Con Man- You are a teenager, you are supposed to do stupid shit like this. I wish I had done more stupid shit than played it safe. The giirls in your school arnt interconnected, its all in your head, half of them think the other half are bitches etc. And worse comes to worse, they get all mean girls on you, then pick up a hobby and talk to girls from other schools. It isnt a big deal, learn from this and dont do it again

For crying out loud, people, this is made up. He stole this bit from "Seinfeld" when George leaves the message on his girlfriend's answering machine. He just updated it with Facebook/Texting. You gullible saps!
and start playing guitar, if you do well enough before college youll get more ass than you know what to do with
@SC: Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better
@Yonni: There are other girls you know? Who's to say I won't eventually get a girl?

OBVIOUSLY CONSERVATIVE MAN WOULD NEVER EVER DO ANYTHIGN WEIRD OR CREEPY EVER
That was addressed to SCs 1st comment, btw, though the second one makes me feel better too, lol
@krellin: I didn't actually steal it from seifeld, but it IS creepily similar now that I think about it.
@Kingdroid: Is it even possible to have no self-esteem and be full of yourself at the same time? That sounds sort of like cognitive dissonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance), which I have been experiencing a lot of lately.
Mafialligator (239 D)

@ krellin - What do you suppose his motive would be for stealing this from Seinfeld and tricking us all? In order to get a bunch of webdippers to give him advice about girls, under false pretenses?
Lamest practical joke ever.

@ Conservative Man - yeah all her friends already know, just leave it, and try not to think about it. It'll blow over, fairly quickly. In future I'd do what everyone else said, just send a message asking about how she's doing, and I wouldn't even bother with the second message asking if she missed the first one or if she's ignoring you. If you don't get a reply, you just didn't get a reply. It happens.
Kingdroid (219 D)
06 Jul 11 UTC
@CM, you basically just said it was possible, and that you are experiencing it. Way to answer your own question
@Kingdroid: I said I have been experiencing cognitive dissonance. That isn't necessarily cognitive dissonance, and If it isn't, then I doubt it's possible, but if it is cognitive dissonance, then it obviously is possible.

Do you know anything about Cognitive Dissonance?

@Mafialligator: Why would he do what he did - which is to OBVIOUSLY steal a bit from Seinfeld - and post it on here? Oh...I don't know: Attention hound? Likes to pull a prank? He's sitting at home laughing at all of you for spending so much time and energy trying to solve his problems/advise him.

Counter question: Why do MOST people post topics on here? Attention whores? Like to start fights...er...uh...debates. Like to laugh at all the people that aren't half as smart as they think they are.

The only sad alternative to this being a prank is that Conservative man is truly a fucking doughbag who has zero emotional control, zero ability to think rationally, and apparently has zero impulse control and is therefore a lost cause....meaning that you are all wasting your time....which takes us back to Attention whores? People are laughing at all of you, etc...
@krellin: This was not a prank. And if I had zero emotional control, zero abilitity to think rationally, etc. I would have said MUCH worse in the final message I sent.
krellin (80 DX)
07 Jul 11 UTC
Ho boy....you are a lost cause. It seems you have zero ability to unemotionally examine yourself too.

OK....let's be straight. This girl? You will *never* be close to her or any of her friends.

"u being a bitch, but now I realize that is exactly wat u are. I'm done with this shit now." Uh....this chick will NEVER forget this. Further, and more to the point, by now every single one of her friends, and then a few people beyond that, know what an ass you are. While this will not completely destroy you socially (some will applaud you...but unless you are gay, this won't help you...) it will certainly limit your social options with a certain group of women until you move on to a different world - i.e. college, where nobody knows what an ass you can be.

Chicks do NOT get off on being called bitches by guys they barely know.
krellin (80 DX)
07 Jul 11 UTC
Actually, your BEST option at this point is to write her one last time and pretend you were imitating a funny bit from Seinfeld....That's pretty much your only hope that she'll forgive you and accept your excuse, unless she has never seen and/or hates Seinfeld.

@krellin: When did I ever say that I did not overreact and mess up. I admitted that from the very beginning. I know that she won't like me now. But I don't care anymore, because she has proven herself to be a bitch to me (as I have proven myself to be a jerk to her). And most of her friends are probably the same way, so I don' t really care what they think either. What I'm worried about is it getting to the attractive girls who are actually nice most of the time. But they likely are not close friends with this girl. (at least I hope, nothing is certain)

I wouldnt do that, Id write something funny and general on your status like "Damn the safety lock on my keyboard must have been off," and realize there are 2 months left till school starts, lots of crap happens in 2 months, if she gets back to you just say your sorry and that you really regret sending the other messages.
krellin (80 DX)
07 Jul 11 UTC
Actually, Conservative man, she has NOT proven herself to be a bitch AT ALL. In fact, some creepy dude she barely knows sent her his phone number and then got pissed off when she didn't call. Who the fuck ARE YOU to demand that she call/text you and then get pissed when she doesn't? When she asked for people to message her, she meant FRIENDS, not weirdo guys that are chasing her because she's hot and he wants in her pants. You are a creepy asshole, dude. She may or not be a bitch...but that can NOT be determined based upon this exchange!! You do not live in reality.

Here is an original thought that I think is rather foreign to the youth of today: Did you ever think about APOLOGIZING, you self-centered twit?
"Actually, Conservative man, she has NOT proven herself to be a bitch AT ALL. In fact, some creepy dude she barely knows sent her his phone number and then got pissed off when she didn't call. Who the fuck ARE YOU to demand that she call/text you and then get pissed when she doesn't? When she asked for people to message her, she meant FRIENDS, not weirdo guys that are chasing her because she's hot and he wants in her pants."

Dont think that means hes a creepy asshole, more like that hes in high school.
@krellin: First of, if you read my earlier posts, I asked if people though I should apologize. Try reading the whole thread sometime. Second of all, I didn't get mad because she didn't text me, I got mad because she completely ignored me, even though it would seem to be common courtesy to give a polite no. Which, if you read my second message I sent her, was all I was asking for there.

interpretation of rule 5?
"5. The Pause/Unpause feature is not a diplomatic tool
The pause is there to stop players missing their orders, but is not part of the game. As such pausing or unpausing should not be used for diplomatic gain, such as refusing to unpause unless other players will draw the game. If it is being abused staff may step in to sort it out."

Bug in the "Threads/Replies" part of a players profile
I'm assuming others have noticed this, but if you haven't, it takes awhile for a thread or reply to actually appear there. And if you have too many, the page will crash. Does anyone know what governs this behavior? As best I can tell, the number of posts missing is somewhat proportional to the number of posts you've made.
