Springing Forward
Daylight Savings Time starts tonight for most of us in the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean island nations. This isn't the same date as for most other participating countries; consequently, this meant we all had to change our time zones manually when I last was on this site a few years ago.

Remember to Spring Forward if it applies to you, and remember to double-check your clocks on the webDiplomacy website after you do it.

Patton vs Lee
An interesting contest. Which General was better does the community think? Overall, for they both had their specifics where they would win.

My apologies to the players of "two?" gameID=82846
I'm writing to apologize to the players of game "two?" (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=82846) for abandoning the game. An emergency came up and I had to leave. I understand me leaving threw the game off balance for everyone and for that I am sorry. I hope I get a chance to play you guys again in the future.

Sincerely,
-nnfolz (Germany)

United Auto Workers bailed out by Obama
Why did Americans who don't work at General Motors, about 99.9% of the population, waste hundreds of billions bailing out GM? Obama's dependence on union money of course. Our reward
Production of the Chevy Volt halted and 1,300 jobs lost.

Random Person to Post Wins
We all know that the concept of "Last Person to Post Wins" is deeply flawed – it encourages excessive posting which is similar to bidding wars; only except of money, one constantly invests his free time to stay on top which favours the trolls the most, since they have no life and therefore plenty of free time. Random Person to Post Wins alleviates the situation of those who wish to win but can't bother trying. Enjoy.

Looking for a replacement England
England just left a surprisingly solid position in this game: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=81140

It's Autumn retreats, so England will have two builds and a total of six units before there's any new action.

Government "aid" to the poor, a success or disaster?
Socialists, statists, liberals and the like consistently, constantly, and incessantly claim that government administered aid is the "only" solution for poverty and uplifting the poor. Where is the real evidence of this success? The youth riots in Britain provide evidence of its failure.

NMR/CD First Year Automatic Cancelling
Has anyone considered adding this option? It makes sense that if someone misses both of their first year's moves, that the game is imbalanced. Would allowing a setting to cancel the game if someone goes CD by the end of the first year be feasible?

Income Inequality
How can someone like me have money? My parents divorced and I grew up in poverty in a one-parent family. I'm obviously not bright. I only achieved a BA using benefits I earned serving in the US Army? How come a brilliant lad like Thucy doesn't have money and I do?

Indeed! All I *do* know is socialist garbage! Teach me, of great TC! I ever await your next post of pure wisdom distilled into easy to digest segments! I learn so much more from your posts than I do from those silly math threads and ridiculous "you don't know shit" threads. I am slowly but surely replacing my socialist garbage instilled into me by the American education system since the age of five! =D

As one of those state-sponsored educators, I eagerly await my monthly shipment of party propaganda to dilute the independent thought in our fresh young minds.

In all seriousness, I can use TC as an excellent case study of not NOT to perform internet research. The TC process:

1. Visit The Blaze, Fox Nation, or other similar right-wing "fair and balanced" news outlet.
2. Create new thread
3. Copy and paste articles verbatim
4. Add commentary on socialism ad nauseum
5. Bump

i didn't read any of this cause nothing sounds as good as something i've written. but imo unrestrained income inequality could make sense, and i used to believe in it, but there really are technical problems with it. the basic assumption people tend to have is that the wealthy earn what they have. but with bank bailouts, inherited wealth, government corruption, etc, most of the wealth is not all that deserved. also it tries for total employment, is that actually good? besides there aren't enough jobs organically to hire everyone. so you end up creating wasteful jobs. overproducing and convincing people to overconsume. but even then we're moving post-industrial. so i think the economic model is getting weaker and weaker. also this kind of assumes a true free market, which isn't the case.

Government should regulate WebDip's Website
Following the logic that braindead socialists post on this site all the time about how government knows best then lets put their insane ideas to the test.
If government can run my health care better than I can then surely government could run Webdip better with one hand behind its back than the mods do.

A tax policy scenario.
This thread assumes that the economy is not a zero-sum system, but instead assumes that the economy is a dynamic system capable of real growth.
Thus any assumed increase in wealth results from the output of productive activity, and does not diminish the wealth of anyone else at all.

Why can't Unions survive on their own?
Mitch Daniels signed right to work legislation and union workers protested.
We've had unions in this nation for well over a century.
We've seen the "workers" of the state run a government in the Soviet Union.
With all this historical evidence why can't unions survive without coercion?

We have LGBT societies in many places (esp. universities) but we don't have Heterosexual Clubs. That is blatant sexual discrimination. Discuss.
