"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?

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

GUNBOAT TOURNAMENT

As has been mentioned, I am hoping to run a gunboat tournament. I intend it to be basic but also comprehensive. I will detail some "things" below. I would like to get a read on who would be interested in playing.

Great win Lando. I was biting my nails over that game for about two weeks now. It was a lesson in stalemate lines. If we get some time on EOGs, I'd love all of your guys' input on what I could do better. I know I screwed up one retreat to SKA (should have been HEL), but other than that I really tried to do the best I could. Now that I see Lando and rdrivera playing, I can see there's apparently still a lot to learn...

2ndWhiteLine (2591 )
22 Mar 13 UTC

TMoW, we could do a separate EOG thread for a specific game if you want. There's a lot of gunboat talent in this tournament and it's a good opportunity to learn.

22 Mar 13 UTC

First of all congrats to Lando for the solo, it was a lesson on stalemate lines that should be teached for every one beginning to play this game.
Congrats to TMOW for playing a great game, bit unlucky in the end to face Lando. I am happy to see Lando moving to the next round.

Second, another congrats to Lando for playing a really great game as Turkey in the last 5-way draw. I have also to say thanks to Nigge for a really interesting battle during almost all game.

There is a little number under each group that says "Active Remaining". So the answer looks like no.

CSteinhardt (9560 )
23 Mar 13 UTC

I see 3 Group B games still in play and 4 finished, if I'm counting correctly. I think Lando's last post is the current scoreboard.

josunice (3702 )
23 Mar 13 UTC

Yes, group B still has 3 active games... Looking forward to some expert thoughts on a few EoGs before we jump to round 2. I'd like to start a few open threads on questions I had, and am interested in thoughts from other brackets... Once round 1 is fully done, of course...

Gen. Lee (7588 )

I like that idea josunice.
