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.

Yep, I remember. Mapu called out your lie in a diplomacy thread. How liberal of him.

Sbyvl's already started on the path to TCism. How long will it be before he finishes that transformation?

lol muted by so many already?

I drop pearls of wisdom like a pimp drops dimes and you choadstools are missing out.

If I remember correctly, the REAL reason sbyvl muted me is because I briefly mocked his false idol and handed him his ass in the process.

As far as SYnapse goes, I'm happy to keep company with the other four on that list. None of them has ever done anything worth muting that I can recall. Laughing at, ridiculing, making a mockery of, yes yes yes, but muting? Sucka please. The only problem I can see with the names on that list is that they are all capable (rarely willing, in krellin's case, but capable) of putting together a coherent argument, and don't pull their punches.

May wisdom ever elude you....

Also, I threatened to mute Mapu, but it was a joke. He took it seriously.
VirtualBob (192 D)

Does that imply that if we mute terrorists the jackasses will win? (I'd give some supporting data for that possibility, but I do not want to talk about ongoing games.)
hecks (164 D)
07 Mar 13 UTC
If you mute both the terrorists and the jackasses, they'll form an alliance against you and the world will be ruled by an uneasy terrorist-jackass coalition. Until, inevitably, the terrorists stab the jackasses and pull off a 21-center solo. It's how terrorists roll.
Mapu (362 D)
