March madness 2013!!!
In this 2013 basketball season it has been filled with upsets and well the battle of the better teams. I personally think the final four will be Michigan state Spartans, Indiana Hoosiers, Florida gators, and Michigan wolverines. Now knowing selection Sunday hasn't happened I thought I would have a little college basketball talk with people over America or out side who follow the college basketball association. What do people think will happen in the tournament. Thoughts?

e e cummings variant game
In the thread: threadID=982959 - hecks made an excellent proposal:

"An e e cummings variant game. Public press only, no capitalization, no punctuation, all comments must be made in deliberately vague e e cummings style poems."

Ok, so as far as I see it dipplayer got his name in the ring before SYnapse I'm afraid, so we have the following seven:

Me
dubmdell
Timur
Draugnar
hecks
dipplayer2004
Krellin

I will create the game now and send invites and password to those seven.

The aim of the game is to completely demoralise your opponent into not entering any moves
Timur (684 D(B))
13 Mar 13 UTC
@Maniac: Great idea. William Topaz McGonagall (such an amazing name) is revered by Scots because he was the worst poet the world has ever encountered. Maybe we could rival him.
Timur (684 D(B))
13 Mar 13 UTC
@SY: another great idea.
So why don't we mix'n'match. McGonagallites will stand on bar tables and expound crap doggerel (which sounds a lot like me). I also like the eec and aam personae.
This could be fun.

"Are you game?" "Yes." Bam!

Your post brought both of these things to mind.
Not bad for one sentence.

Ok count me in if we can mix Cummings (capitalised by iPad) and McGonagall.

Jamiet99uk (873 D)
13 Mar 13 UTC
Since Draugnar is out we have one spot. SYnapse previously wanted in so he should get first option, then Maniac if SYnapse doesn't want to.

SYnapse?
Timur (684 D(B))
13 Mar 13 UTC
It would have to be named McGonaCum or somesuch, to warn people away.

13 Mar 13 UTC
Any way to transfer D's? (I have a few to spare.) Would like to see how Krellin and SY would play together since they kick each others ass in the forum, but that may just be a setup for a sting.

Unpause vote does nothing
In this game:

Out unpause vote does absolutely nothing. It won't process that we've clicked unpause, so the game simply will not continue. Any ideas?

What doea your name mean?
Some people have obvious references to historical or fictional characters, others are some form of their name (like mine, my name really is Phil) but for those with more cryptic names, I'm curious where they came from.

Some that I know from previous posts - draugnar is Tolkien elvish for some kind of wolf, Nigee is a name one of his friends used to call him, etc. But what about Bosox, mapu, sbyvyl, redhouse, abgemacht, etc. ?

The Most Conservative Contest
The question is: Who on the WebDip forums is the most Conservative? It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, as there are only a handful of Conservatives on this site (Krellin, Draug, ConservativeMan and myself come to mind). So in order to figure it out, we will post our positions on the issues here, and let the others decide.
