WTA vs PPSC

A frequent debate on this site. I'm of the WTA camp as I disdain the "strong second" PPSC mentality.
It seems that the inventor of the game, Allan Calhamer shared this view, arguing that the WTA objective provided for much more interesting end game drama.

Need sub for triathlon

DILK has gone AWOL so we need someone to take over a FP and GB game. If we can't get one person to do both, then I'd be more than happy to find a different person to do each game.

Roman Legions vs. Mongol Hordes

To commemorate the 807th anniversary of the grand Quriltai which saw Temujin elected as Genghis Khan, I ask who would win a battle between a force of Mongols and a slightly larger force of Roman legions (for the sake of discussion, we will say from the late republic/early empire period) in a head-to-head matchup? Please discuss.

Is war between Russia and England more or less inevitable?

The Norway-StP corridor is very hard to DMZ. Perhaps conflict will always occur. I at least cannot think of a time in recent memory that they went the whole game without fighting (barring an early elimination of one or both).

Discouraging country based resigns thought...

Webdip uses a country weighting system where the more often you have been a country, the less a chance you have of being it again and vice versa. So how about use that to deal with people that abandon a game because they got a country they don't like?

Is it just because I'm in college or what?

Does anyone else have the experience that the time when gender issues and parity come most the fore is when a coed group of people goes partying together? Shit just happens and you have to make decisions based on that stuff more often than in normal life. At least I feel that way. Thoughts?

So has obiwanobiwan finally matured and can I take him off my mute list?

Obi need not answer. I won't see it. But does anyone else want to chime in with their opinion so I can decide if it is safe to take him off? I kind of miss his long winded posts, but he got so over the top with his youthful insistence he knew everything I had to mute him or kill him before his 21st birthday, and I thought the former was the better option.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
21 Jun 12 UTC

So we are going for most SCs again, not highest rating following all five games? And it is the shut up and play rule (aka no forums) during the game?

achillies27 (100 )
21 Jun 12 UTC

most SCs, You arent allowed to talk about ongoing games in the forum.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
21 Jun 12 UTC

Well yeah, but last time it was "don't use the forums" for pauses or anything even in gunboats I thought..

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

djakarta97, maybe start cautious and look for opportunities to push ahead as the game or certain players unravel. Every game is a chance to win :-)
bo_sox48 it is most SCs so give nothing, pillafe all before you.
We have two chat games but obviously don't play the games through the forum. We will know when to pause the games as we can communicate in the 2 chat games.
Maybe we can agree now the date so we don't out seth if he clicks pause on all of his games at once....... anyway, who's missing?

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

Don't tell me someone has CD'ed before we even started :-)

BosephJennett (866 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

I'm coming in at 6/1 odds? I wouldn't even give myself that kind of chance. Is there somewhere I can put some money on the under, or is that frowned upon in this establishment?
