My NHL Nightmare Season Is Complete--Kings Win the Cup
First the Ducks play up and down and then completely bottom out to 13th place...
Then the Rangers blow it...
And now...now, the worst team possible to win the Cup for a Ducks fan...great win for the Kings, they deserved it, though.

Combating complacency.
Nearly every time I win a game I end up making really, really stupid mistakes in other games. This is a word of warning to other players: Don't get lazy or complacent if you do well once. Learning that lesson is part of what separates the good from the great... not even just in Diplomacy, but life in general.

What's the weirdest thing you do?
Me, I think in accents. I'm not even joking either. It's probably one of the strangest things I do. The accents I think in most commonly are British, Australian, and Jersey accents. Though I use Russian and French accents quite a lot. With the occasional pirate accent.

New Initiative: Clearing out old unfinished games
I am going to be responsible for clearing out old paused discontinued games. It will take me a while, so if you have a game in mind, let me know and I will make it a priority.
Hopefully this will clear up the "join games" option so more people would be willing to take on games with CDs.

Hey, you guys want to hear some good jokes?

An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" "No," said the priest, "not if you did not know." "Then why," asked the Inuit earnestly, "did you tell me?" ~Annie Dillard


I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said 'Stop! don't do it!' 'Why shouldn't I?' he said. I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!' He said, 'Like what?' I said, 'Well...are you religious or atheist?' He said, 'Religious.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?' He said, 'Christian.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?' He said, 'Protestant.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?' He said, 'Baptist!' I said, 'Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?' He said, 'Baptist church of god!' I said, 'Me too! Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?' He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god!' I said, 'Me too! Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?' He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!' I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off. ~Emo Phillips

Those people who tell me that I'm going to hell while they are going to heaven somehow make me very glad that we're going to separate destinations. ~Martin Terman

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car. ~Author Unknown

Instead of being born again, why not just grow up? ~Author Unknown

The wages of sin are death, but after they take the taxes out, it's more like a tired feeling, really. ~Paula Poundstone

I believe in God; I just don't trust anyone who works for him. ~Author unknown

Traveler: "God has been mighty good to your fields, Mr. Farmer."
Farmer: "You should have seen how he treated them when I wasn't around."
~Author Unknown

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. ~Winston Churchill

Die, v.: To stop sinning suddenly. ~Elbert Hubbard

If God dropped acid, would he see people? ~Steven Wright

If triangles had a God, He'd have three sides. ~Old Yiddish Proverb

Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~H.L. Mencken

An Atheist and a Christian get in a car wreck together. The Atheist sees the Christian's crucifix necklace and begins talking about how lucky they are to be alive, and the Christian says God granted it. The Atheist then says, "To celebrate God keeping his hand of protection on us, let us have a drink of wine together". The Atheist hands the Christian the wine and he takes a big sip then hands it back to the Atheist. The Atheist in turn, without drinking, gives the bottle back to the Christian and says, "No, I'll just wait until the police get here, then I'll celebrate."

This guy needs to win the lottery really badly he thinks it will help get his life on track, so he kneels down to pray. He says" God if you let me win the lottery I will pay my tithe every year and never complain about it." Well he doesn't win.
The next week he gets down on his knees again and says,"God if you just let me win the lottery I will give my tithe and then some to the church and help the local orphans find good loving homes." Well he doesn't win.
The next week he again prays and says,"God I will pay for a modest home and a gently used car and give all the rest to good charities in your name and the church if you just let me win the lottery." He doesn't win.
Finally the next week he is so mad and he prays,"God what do you want from me? I don't know what else to promise. Why can't I win the lottery." Suddenly a big booming voice comes from the heavens and says," Would you buy a ticket already, geez."
Organized religion really is the biggest problem humanity faces.

Awkward, have you ever heard the story about the guy that walked around upside down all the time? People got so worked up about it that they eventually tortured and killed him. Only it turns out he was the one walking the right way up--and that man was Jesus.
Actually that's terrible advice. I agree that YOU shouldn't be personally insulted... You're the victim here, yes, but not of us. You're the victim of the longest con the world has known.

Hate the religion, not the religious.

So, I reread your post, Mujus. Even on reread, I imagine a guy doing a hand-stand and walking around on his hands, and people get weirded out by him instead of impressed, so they tie him to the stake (upside down, of course) and burn him. And then you say, that was Jesus, and we should all be walking around on our hands. because only when you walk on your hands do you see the world the way god intended. Upside down.

Today's C.S.Lewis quote: "[When I was an atheist] my argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of ˆjustˆand ûnjustˆ? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such violent reaction against it? . . . Thus in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist—in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless—I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality—namely my idea of justice—was full of sense. Consequently atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning." Mere Christianity, bk. II, chap. 1, 45-46 (from The Quotable Lewis).
Look, everyone, C.S. Lewis argued with himself and "proved God exists". How convincing.

Mujus (1495 D(B))
09 Jun 12 UTC
Here's one you might like, Thucy: "When people object, as they do, that if Jesus was God as well as Man, then he had an unfair advantage which deprives Him for them of all value, it seems to me as if a man struggling in the water shd. refuse a rope thrown to him by another who had one foot on the bank, saying "Oh but you have an unfair advantage." It is because of that advantage that He can help. But all good wishes; we must just differ; in charity I hope. You must not be angry with me for believing, you know; I'm not angry with you." Letters of C.S. Lewis (1951?), para. 1, pp. 234-235 (from The Quotable Lewis).
You know, if I want to see someone argue with a strawman there are plenty of crazy hobos around town. Though I guess they're delusional too, so please go on.

"Grandouiller and Mad Man, thanks for supporting individual rights on this site--no matter how unpopular with a powerfully vocal few."

Right? No, you have the priviledge, under sites rules of posting on the forum. Kestas gives you this, it is not some fundamental right, it is only by agreeing to the rules and on Kestas' personal agreement. (he is not in any legal contract and can withdraw at any point)

You also have responcibilities, under the rules and to the community which you are part of here (who said 'this IS real life' regarding rudness on the forum?)

I'll be blunt, i don't want to mute you, so i would ask that you be civil. I hope i have not been insulting to you and that my request is only for deserved levels of respect.

A level which i hope you extend to the entire community, even those less deserving.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
10 Jun 12 UTC
Orathaic, I stand corrected. If Kestas owns the site, then he can set any rules he wishes. However, I do have a question and a couple of comments.
Question: You stated "only by agreeing to the rules" and "under sites rules of posting on the forum," so I'd like to ask where those are posted.
Comment 1: If you're accusing me of being uncivil, I don't wish to be, and I think this perceived transgression was quite mild compared to other uncivil behavior on this site.
Comment 2: I completely don't understand your point "even those less deserving." No one is less deserving than anyone else in terms of the salvation that Jesus offers--No one. People who follow Jesus are *not* better than others--we just aim to reflect his love, dimly.
