That's what all the needle dick guys like to quote. But those of us with massive girth know the women love the quantity.
How's that even related?

@KOD - You quoted "Quality not quanity (sic)". I was just showing that size does matter and quantity can be more meaningful than quality.

Guys, please. Play nice. Draugnar is obviously the winner in this ridiculous phallic-like comparison. It's like we are marking the internet with our postings.
Moreover, we aren't even taking into account the times he posted with his other accounts and if he hadn't taken time off, his number of posts would surpass MM's total points and could very well race SD's to the first 50000. :)

How dare you suggest Draug is a multi, that is a despicable slur on his good name. You could take legal action here Draug

To be fair to Draug, his 28k of posts will still only contain a fraction of the words obi uses.

And I just added to that unspeakably-large tally in the "Favorite Bible Quotes" thread.

(If I ever manage to make it as an author, I could publish entire volumes of the nonsense I write here as part of a multi-volume "Obiwan--The Early Years!" Anthology...that no one would buy, of course, but still...)

It's all the testosterone. It's what makes us males of the species so competitive.

@GF - You do realize those weren't multi's in the traditional sense, right? Not only did I not play with them, I didn't even hide it and told the mods I had created them. No investigation was required.

Oh no.not Draug as well, is there anyone on this site who isn't sullied by this activity, I have a couple myself, NigeeBaby2 & NigeeBaby3 but I don't think these sleepy mods will ever work out it's me :-)

Oh, and goldfinger, can you be more specific with the etc., etc.? I only had the two IIRC.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
29 Jul 12 UTC
Is it draug? Do you get more people being more competative when they have higher testosterone? Do women become more competative when they take testosteronee?

I know it mediates agression and sexual desire. But that's about it.. (you drop down to about 10% of the aggression and sexual desire when you remove all the testosterone from a male... So it's not just the T which is causing these behaviours, i just regulates how much of it their is... Like the volume knob on your TV, it doesn't make the sound, but it does control how much of it there is... (in proper old styliee tvs it is just a variable resistor) )

So i don't know what the relationship between competition and T is. But we're not talking about aggression here - this is more like a display of sexual prowess (like some species have huge testicles, so the males are selected for based on how much sperm they can produce... Something drive that sexual selection... Just as peacock feathers are a display (of health and physical fitness) what selection do you think is driving this display??)

Chat During Retreats and Builds
This isn't allowed in the real board game, so why is it allowed here? I have heard this thought from other players too. Could it possibly be coded by treating these parts of the game as a gunboat?

Diplomacy Puzzles
This thread will consist of Diplomacy puzzles. You will be given a situation in a gunboat game and have to figure out how someone can win the game. It's basically like the chess puzzles in the newspaper except it's Diplomacy.

Islam in the UK vs. Islam in the US?
Old article, but still, since I learned that Islam was as prevalent in the UK as it was (or seems to be, perhaps it isn't that prevalent?) I've found that fact a bit odd...why is it growing in the UK? Especially among WOMEN--according to the article, 66% of converts are women...in a religion that's certainly portrayed as being perhaps more culturally restrictive towards women, why is that? And the UK vs. the US--what difference is there in attitudes towards Islam, if any?

Turkish Gunboat Strategy
I mean, Turkey is a pretty good country to play for in a gunboat, but it soon becomes hard for Turkey to cycle armies to distant fronts because their home SC's are so far from the battle. Any suggestions?

Old Games
I was recently looking through the first WebDiplomacy games (gameID=100, gameID=7000, gameID=3 {which was won by Kestas}). What seems to puzzle me is that a the pot in these games is always less than what the players win (in gameID=7000, the winner bets 10 and magically wins 420). Is there an explanation to this?

EOG classic!
The most awful game ever. 3CDs in first year. Germany/Turkey/Russia. I was not able to react to CDs in S01 but I have to stop Austria from taking all the share and decided to delay Austria. But guess what happens next, very wise France decided to backdoor me. I'm shocked that i survived until the draw while i dont understand why you guys would draw at all.

Trouble forcing players to draw in games
I just played a live gunboat where two other players and I reached a stalemate line against the 4th player. We effectively secured the line for 6 years and had all voted to draw, but the 4th player drew out the game until I accidentally misordered, costing us the draw. gameID=95811

North Korea snubbed at Olympics
At the intros to today's women's soccer game between North Korea and Colombia, the stadium screen showed the South Korean flag next to the images for North Korean player intros. The team walked off the field and somehow the Olympic people talked them into coming back out and playing, but I can't believe this was a mistake.

I don't play video games that much any more--when I do, it's mostly ROMS of old NES games--but I LOVE playing the Worms series, mostly Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party...I used to have a version downloaded and workable on my computer, but not now...
Anyone know a SAFE site where I can download the game/an emulator of it? Anyone else play Worms, and enjoy the strategic insanity? ;)
