Was John Pemberton a seer?
Really, could you possibly imagine a better name for a drink than Coca-Cola in regard to marketing potential of China? They say Jules Verne nailed all those means of transport we use today several decades in advance but Pemberton is the real deal here. Coca-Cola. Brilliant.

Id like to question the random country chooser on the site.
I have got austria and italy more than average recently. Makes me wonder if the mods are rigging it so id leave... :P But really, for those of you familiar with the phenomenon, is the generator truly random like sites like random.org or is it pseudorandom? Does anyone know?

NFL Pick 'Em: Week 8
Inside the updated totals after Week 7 will be posted...as soon as I add them (or someone who already has it added up wants to post if, if they're faster.)

As we're at the half-way point of the season, lots of teams on bye and another week for blow-outs it seems. With the Packers on bye, who will dominate the weak...so--who'll win? PICK 'EM!

Snow Storm
How did people fair in the snow storm? We lost power for about 24 hours. Roads are still pretty cluttered with trees and most of the surrounding towns (that don't get power from the University) are still out of power.

Cancelling the Masters
Unless someone has talked to TrustMe or compiled a list on their own and knows what's needed, I plan on cancelling any paused Masters game this Thursday. I'm not really willing to reverse engineer each game to figure out what he was planning. It's been left in the fridge too long, time to throw it out.

Jesus=Socialist?
Someone I happen to see nearly everyday insists that Jesus was a socialist and/or advocated the philosophical and moral grounds/justifications for instituting socialism. I oppose socialism, but am not particularly religious, and thus not really angered by this statement; nevertheless, many Christians I know have been angered by this claim. Discussion/debate?

Six of the Best
Politicians get a lot of bad press in the modern age, and sadly a lot of it is deserved. The vast majority can be safely ignored without any risk of missing anything remotely interesting or useful to our lives. But in the sea of mediocrity float a few stars, a small number of voices that are worth noting. My question is: which politicians still have the power to make you stop and listen? Lets see a list of six of your best!

I'm confused in the ratings, I am 230 overall, and ive only started re-playing in Sept/Oct and ive only finished 3 games, all of which I won but im not rated? is it becauise they were all lowish games? if perry is in with total rank of 287 not sure why i can't be at overall 230...
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
Perry is 48 on the overall list. It is his recent rating that is lower because he has not played in a while. Your rating will go up as soon as the games are counted. The ratings only come out once a month at the end of each month so if you didn't finish the games before Oct 1st that is why they are not included.

I'm 53 on the October list, but 148 overall. Probably not qualified for this, but I'll play if you're short on players.

You guys are really tempting me, damnit... Please don't let me join an eighth game, I can't take it, but I have no self control!! :-(
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
28 Oct 11 UTC
@ santosh That's good enough for me, you're just 2 D off the official criteria. However, if any of the other players have a problem, then I will have to go with my original criteria.
@ MM always delighted to play with you. You know you want to, can you confirm one or the other over the next day?
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
28 Oct 11 UTC
I really shouldn't, though it'd be fun to get in a game with Jacob too, I can only remember him being an unbelievable pain in my ass every game we ever played, and I'm pretty sure, even (i.e. especially) without looking, that he started our conflicts every time! ;-)
hellalt (40 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
martinck1, if I remember correctly haven't I kicked your ass in the France vs Austria version of the game ? :P
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
28 Oct 11 UTC
@ hellalt. I think you find that you have a very poor memory. I remember getting to the final of the FvA tournament, when Ghost decided to run away. I can't remember who knocked you out in the earlier rounds :P
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
28 Oct 11 UTC
Oops it might not have been Ghost - sorry - maybe Figle
Jacob (2466 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
Haha- you should play MM. Maybe with it being anonymous we'll end up working together for once! =)
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
28 Oct 11 UTC
I don't know, I think I'll do something very quickly that will make you want to kick my ass regardless of if you know it's me or not, history tends to repeat itself for a reason! :-P

But, what the hell, if you guys need a seventh, and nobody else is stepping up, let me know and I'll give you as much of a fight as I am able.
Jacob (2466 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
Same old song... Seems like just yesterday I remember you saying the same thing: "if you need a 7th I'll join blah blah blah....". Just man up and commit to the game already :P
Babak (26982 D(B))
28 Oct 11 UTC
dang... Jacob is back!!! I'm sooo tempted too.

i had promised myself I would not play in any games for a while...

its 48 hours right? and you all agreed to up the ante from 101?

MM... if you're in, I'm in as well. we'd round out the full 7 I think.
Frank (100 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
This game looks like its shaping up great. Looks like we have a solid 7?
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
28 Oct 11 UTC
@Babak I would like to get another game with you. But if MM is in then he is the seventh. I said we wouldn't kick anyone out and eligible players would be accepted in order of reply. We have
martinck1
Perry6006
Sargmacher
Frank
Jacob
santosh
MM ( he's in, he just playing with us)

Reserve: Babak if MM is out

I am quite happy to triple the bet to 303 D, but as before it wasn't in the original criteria and any of the players have the right to veto it. I wait 24 hours for anyone to veto and then PM the password to all.


Jacob (2466 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
I'm fine with 303. don't worry banal...you'll get more chances against me =)
Jacob (2466 D)
28 Oct 11 UTC
Loll..... My phone autocorrected babak and turned it into banal... Sorry!! :)
Babak (26982 D(B))
28 Oct 11 UTC
No worries martick, my own fault for counting incorrectly. Ill remove myself. I probably should stay away for a bit longer anyway.

Jacob, maybe that's what I'm worried about... that I WILL play you and you'll kick my butt again. I'm not sure if we've ever been in a game where you did not get the better of me haha.

Good luck all.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
28 Oct 11 UTC
Babak, I'm in seven games at the moment, so you are more than welcome to take "my spot", especially since I specifically said I'd play if I'm needed as a seventh... Plus, Jacob should get a chance to shake off the rust before I have my way with him, lol! ;-)
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
28 Oct 11 UTC
To be a bit more clear, for Jacob's sake, I will man up and play if Babak doesn't want to, but I'd be more than happy for Babak to get in on the action, I'm confident it will be an excellent game, and as everyone on this site knows, I'm a giver.
Jacob (2466 D)
29 Oct 11 UTC
Babak, I understand what you mean. MM is the one person who always seems to have my number. Luckily for me I've decided not to lose any more games so I don't anticipate that being a problem in the future.
Jacob (2466 D)
29 Oct 11 UTC
So... Are we going to start this hint or what? I'm waiting for my pm with pw and link!
Babak (26982 D(B))
29 Oct 11 UTC
since MM and I are both being tepid, marti, why dont you send the pm with the pw to us both, and one of us will be to tempted to join before the other.

meanwhile Jacob wont know which one us is in the game with him...

... well, none of you will - but you'll know its either MM or Babak ;)
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
29 Oct 11 UTC
Jacob, I was just joking with you, but after your comment, I decided to look back at your recent games. Remember this one, and actual honest-to-goodness seven way draw:

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11388#gamePanel

All I remember is you swore up and down how much you loved Italy as Austria and then you stabbed me so hard in the back I looked straight down and saw your fist sticking out of the front of my chest!! And I'm dead serious, I'll show you the scar if you don't believe me.

I don't know, Babak, my juices are starting to flow, I may jump on that invitation a bit quicker than you, so speak now or forever hold your peace!!
