"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama

If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS

If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions

So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

was lincoln great for our elite?

bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

College Life

So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant

Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

@Nigee - you could have just listed the number of players remaining.

josunice (3702 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

Fairfax! Not to be shut out! CStein - I, too, am looking forward to comparing the surprisingly low probability set of 7 countries I, too, got once more of our games are up. I think it is worth the extra effort up front to get one of each country....

josunice (3702 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

Guys, is there somewhere that shows for games and/or variants (no press) the probability of outcome?

AlexNesta (239 )

(+1)

I agree, shuffling would have been worth it. Maybe next time!

Mapu (362 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

I do agree that round 2 and forward should be one on each country. There's really no other point to doing 7 games.

josunice (3702 )

Though no shuffling does give the Yenta crowd another thing to bitch about, which apparently is the real enjoyment of the Forum Boards....

Mapu (362 )

Oh and numnuts Y2K used the wrong starting scores for the group summary, and Jesus copied from Y2K's.

Oh come on Draug, Yebellz was posting to cut off any further discussion. He didn't call you or anyone else out and was asking everyone to respect the rules. Is it really necessary to cuss him out?

NigeeBaby, (userID=40995), any additional comments or speculation about ongoing gunboat games will result in a silence and/or a point dock.

I think I have made my points about my post and my apologies, it was fairly obvious that I was not attempting to infringe any rules but to pass on the current status of the Group D games. I've already had a PM warning from the TD. Sometimes people go a bit OTT, I'm disappointed jmo that you have found need to get involved in this 'storm in a thimble'.
