Rules of life?
Does anyone has some sort of rules they live by, like the Ten Commandments? Semper Fidelis? Carpe Diem? Anything you live by?

An important one for me would be: Sometimes you're wrong.
I'm thinking of making a list for myself so I know what I want if it ever gets to a rash decision of big importance or something...

did obama really set a trial for osamas son in law in the states
how did this happen? this is the only reasonable thing i think his administration has done in recent memory. will this be a public hearing? everything i am sure will be classified - they cant let people know the truth about any of this al qaeda stuff. but just bringing him into the country is something. did this guy have absolutely no knowledge of the organization? how could obama do this?

Point Tax
It seems to me there is a great disparity in the number of pints people have, with some having earned thousands, and other often stuck below 100. It is time to implement a Point Tax, perhaps monthly, to supplement to lower-tiered players who can not/will not earn and save points. Who's in???

absurd amounts of sugar in a venti
so new york will make it illegal to put more than 3 teaspoons of sugar in a venti. so you sugar addicted assholes have to start carrying around packets of sugar. but i guess this probably doesnt apply to self-serve sugar - so maybe starbucks is still ok.

Advice to a new online player
Hey--

Although I'm no stranger to board games, or negotiating games (there's a Game of Thrones boardgame that--at least when I play it--includes a Diplomacy-style negotiating phase) I am new to Diplomacy. Needless to say, I'm new to this site as well. As a 30-something high-school history teacher familiar with strategy/negotiation, what is the best advice a long-time player can offer me?

Can't leave game
Hi,

This and 11 other accounts I control were created to fill slots in a large game with some friends. We wanted to play the 17 player map with less than 17 people (we are aware of balance issues with this), and our schedules are varied which disallows us from having shorter turns.

I'm guessing they let her go because she didn't know the rules. Interestingly, the players seem to have gotten what they wanted with regards to getting those accounts kicked out.

@nudge: "
I, user nudge, declare that I have never played this game with any other account, user name or identity other than that in my user profile, and I condemn all who have done so as cheats and liars.
I invite all here to make the same declaration."
Declaring singularity. However, any offers gratefully received.
If I, a bear of limited intelligence and minimum skills, can find the help button, I would have thought a maiden aunt (by the sound of your missives) would have been able to do the same.

Maiden aunt? Nicest thing anyone has said about me all day. I shall add it to my CV. Thank you, Timur (or shall call you by your English name, East)

I only have one name. Singularity, remember? Where did East come from? Man, you is one weird dude. You can add that to your CV, too.

For the benefit of your previously acknowledged skills and intelligence, Timur is Malay for East.
Octavious (2701 D)
02 Mar 13 UTC
Is it really? So does that mean East Timor (I'm guessing the Timor bit is from the Malay timur) is really East East? Or are Timor and Timur completely unrelated?
redhouse1938 (429 D)
02 Mar 13 UTC
I think it makes West Timor even funnier (PS I verified it and nudge is right)

Timor is the Portuguese rendition of timur, so yes, East Timor really is East East, and West Timor is West East!
Timur (673 D(B))

. . . and my GPS is having a brainstorm!
FYI: In my case, Timur is not from the Portuguese, although thanks for the elucidation, but from the Mongolian Timur the Lame, commonly known as Tamburlaine in the west.

I also want to know what happened. Was everybody banned in all their multiplicity?

Timur: Ha ha, Tamburlaine? 'Tamerlane' is what most people know him by if they don't recognize 'Timur'.

I agree, there was never an attempt to cheat, the game he created was called "test..." And he clearly didn't know there was anything wrong with it when he posted his question. The funniest thing was when he posted about the vehement opposition to quitting while telling us about his 12 accounts. That made me laugh!

Obviously the accounts had to be banned, but given his intentions, I hope the miss let him create a new, single, account so that he and his friends can actually start playing here. It would be wise of him to never let his association withthis incident be known with his new account though.

JaneBot got banned as well finally. And the original player did pad his points with a massive multi game. I doubt, despite the test name, that he wasn't planning to do it again and get even more points.
philcore (317 D(S))
04 Mar 13 UTC
That was the outcome, but I don't believe that was the intention. And I don't dispute that all of the accounts in question should be banned, I just think his explanation was genuine, and knowing the rules now, I don't see a problem with a new account being granted.
