EOG: With Marshmallows!
Dear fellow players: Let me apologize for my lousy play as France. Italy, you took advantage of the situation well, but that was one of the sloppiest outings I've had on the site. Best to all in the future.

Who knows anything about the human heart?
My fiance's father has had two heart attacks in the past month. He is 58 and lived in Paris for most of his life (he moved out north of Marseilles to the country 3 years ago). He is not overweight or underweight; and resists smoking. I am having to drive back and forth every weekend (about 1100 km or 700 miles) for her to visit him. What are his chances for survival? Can he get better?

Raising taxes on the rich
I was reading the forums and I am displeased by how many people think taxes should be raised on the rich. What an outrageous idea! It is the rich who create jobs that fuel the economy. In fact, last year alone my company made over 100 new jobs. If the rich have their taxes raised, even more jobs will be lost.

Buying this site
I have been looking around this site and it seems like it is a well made site. I have bought websites in the past and this seems like a worthy one. Would the current site owner contact me on how much he/she would charge for the ownership of the site.

The question is, is he being ridiculous on purpose, or is he just too young to know how these sorts of things are actually done?
hes obviously not serious, anyone serious or even stupid would be able to see the problems arising out of the hasbro connection.

Mr. V, I really doubt Kestas would say this is for sale. As a community of donators (non-obligatory), we have raised enough money to cover our server for three years as this site was getting so big, it was causing loading problems for our server (remember the old 500 errors?).

I understand the business side of it all, but it seems to me that (yes, even you trolls) this site specifically, being non-profit and free, makes our community especially close. I'd personally hate to see this go.

Quick observation:
This thread hasn't been created that long ago and we already have a copious amount of negative receptions concerning this site changing into anything else other than what it is now.
So, Kestas, feel free to sell this site to Mr. V for a huge amount of money, and then create a new site, run it with the money you got, and we will all go there.

This has often been claimed, but there are a number of pay-for-play diplomacy sites out there that have not been shut down.

Hey Mr. V, I have been looking around at your girlfriend and it seems like she is well made. I have bought women's favors in the past and she seems like a worthy one. Would you contact me on how much her pimp would charge for rental of your girlfriend?

Proposed business model: users will come to use the site as normal. Every 10 games, or so, though, it turns into a sponsored game by Farmville where instead of fighting to control territories you're just aggressively planting crops all over europe, trying to harvest the most farms. Gameplay proceeds as per normal besides those stylistic changes.

A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception.

A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as a independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer.

Exactly what the mute button was made for.

Transparent is the operative word here.

Reminds me of Diplofool...except this guy is more entertaining in the way of his overly descriptive text and verbose vocabulary. I always liked writing reports or essays like that just so filling up 5 pages would be easier considering 2-3 pages worth of text were actually redundant adjectives.
lmao. no really, we have to keep him. this is just too funny.

Mr V I am sorry that you have suffered some abuse from my fellow players, If you really want to make money from this concept how about just securing the sponsorship rights for the facebook version? I'm sure they won't cost you all of your $100m.

Inflation in GR?
Does your GR naturally rise over time? Given the statement that you supposedly improve each game you play for each experience, if you are in the top 300 now, is it natural to fall within the, say, top 150 6 months from now?

Draw vs point gain survive
Clearly, in WTA, the draw is superior. But what about in PPSC? Would you rather draw for 1/4 the stack, or take a survive for 1/3 of it? I tend to chose the second option so far, because that will maximize my points, and GR I believe.

Are there those who disagree? Do some people believe that anything less than a draw is a loss, even if it's worth more points/GR, and are these the same people that refuse to play PPSC?
