Who can name all of their great-grandparents?
I heard recently that our grandparents parents are almost unknown to most of us, I can't name all my great-grandparents. Can anyone? PS you don't need to list them here, just let me know if you can name them.

Worst game I've ever played
gameID=103663

I took over a cd country and none of the others players will speak to me, not one word despite me making several attempts. I've played with one of the players before and he's generally a dick. Then mod comes in pauses the game and then cancels it, because of u fair play, but no one gets banned, and mod won't discuss it further.

Why don't more people play at vdiplomacy.com?
Just wondering. That website has a lot less games going on (especially live games) but has a much better variety of variants, better interface, easier contact with the mods (maybe not always better, but easier to access) and has statistics on all variants, performances, has NMR policy and reliability ratings...

Basically, why do we play here and not there? I mean I play both, but why is this one the clear favorite?

Diplomacy on a randomly-generated map
Has anyone ever thought about this? I think it could add an interesting new element if the map were generated fresh each time, giving an edge to players who could quickly grasp "the lay of the land," as it were. Of course, coming up with an algorithm that would consistently generate balanced and fun maps could prove tricky, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible.

30 / M / Secret agent - I protect our freedoms by having closed-door meetings with top software corporations where we cut deals. typically they put backdoors into their systems for us to hack and give us all their users data, and in exchange they pay no taxes or we give even them tax rebates. then we auction the data to select favored corporations that benefit from it, and hack systems of people who are against the centralization of power.

I presumed I would be one of the youngest on the site. Makes an interesting but pleasant change. Having spent most of my teenage years playing stupid online games such as MMO's with no lifers and people with no respect, to finally play a game with a community to whom for the most part I can look up to and respect their opinions. Rather than just warding off and dealing with irritating trolls.

My wife is so hooked on that new Vanilla Spice Latte that she about had a hissy fit when I came home empty handed from Jungle Jim's (Jungle has a starbucks inside it) the other day. I explained they had run out of the syrup (wasn't lying, I had actually stopped to get her one) so she made me go to McDs and get a Caramel Mocha Non-Fat.
Celticfox (100 D(B))

Heh yeah we're on our last bottle. New drink out tomorrow: Hazelnut Macchiato. Like a caramel macchiato, but with a heavy hazelnut sauce rather then a caramel one. People have really loved it so far. Not me... I hate hazelnut with a passion.

In password-entry games, could we include an option to allow CD takeovers by players who don't know the password? IF NOT, could we allow people looking to take over a new country to filter out password-protected games in their search?

Why can't you use correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar? You consistently butcher one, two, three, or all four of these categories, and it makes your posts unreadable. They become sound and fury signifying nothing. Please, for the good of the forum, follow standard orthography.

No in-game messaging games with messages
Currently if you're in a "No in-game messaging" game, there's no way to get rid of a global message. This means that the games always show up with the unread message icon at the top of the page, which is really annoying. As far as I can tell, there's no way to mark these messages as read. This state occurs when a player in the game is banned, which adds a global message that cannot be read. Please fix!

Hey guys, I'm back!

Classic Diplomacy - not year 1901
What year is the Classic Diplomacy set? Definitely not year 1901AD, by then Tunis was already colonized by France. Luxemburg was an independent nation, Albania didn't border Austria and the United Kingdom didn't own Iceland. The was also no bridge between Sweden and Denmark. Everyone else can claim some independence on that map.
