Bug check?
Well, I'm not sure what happened (although I'm guessing some save error so it wont' show up in any logs) but I somehow ended up with an army in Naples rather than the fleet that I thought I'd ordered.

Obama a Socialist ....... no, the Prof is a moron
http://www.ijreview.com/2014/01/107990-story-prof-fails-entire-class-illustrate-obamas-socialism-left-furious/

This professor doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the box.... and he thinks Obama is a socialist, sounds like a by-product of a failing capitalist education system

The Golden Age of Diplomacy
Does anyone else find reading Sharp's "The Game of Diplomacy" really depressing? The level of dedication and analysis that he presents in the book would never be found today. Does anyone even talk about diplomacy theory anymore, or are we just left to reading relics of the past?

Homework this week
Your homework this week is to speak to an octogenarian. We won't have them for very much longer and so I think it's important for young people to meet these guys.

Hippies aren't quite the same. They're uptight in a way that the people older than them weren't.

Feature Idea
So, I play a lot of live games, and I make a lot of them. I would love an option that would let players make games where any NMR in the first year is an instant cancel. So, that way there's no situation where a Germany NMR's and England/France/Russia take advantage and go on to become monster powers.

WebDip F2F 2 June 21 in Chicago
Ok guys here's the new planning thread now that we have a date and place. Do you guys want to be in Chicago itself or in the suburbs?

@Abge Since you helped with the last F2F did you guys all meet up on the Friday then play on the Saturday or how'd you work that stuff out?

So, the guy who gave you a site to work on can't get a plus one? What if I share one of krellin's daughters with you?

Ok bringing the topic back to the meeting. YJ are you planning on driving 2 hours each way every day or not gonna actually come and play diplomacy?
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

Oh, it's more than 1 day?

Then no, forget my place. Just for day 1 and day last then.

It doesn't *have* to be 2 days.

It probably should be.
Hey, no wimping out now. If I'm flying to Chicago for a F2F, it better be more than just one day!
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
17 Dec 13 UTC
It can be however long people want it to be. I'm just saying we don't have to do something just because that's how it was done before.
Nah, we are doomed to repeat the past.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
17 Dec 13 UTC
I believe the talk was of coming in Friday, playing all day Saturday and last game and leaving on Sunday. Anyone else have a different idea?
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Dec 13 UTC
If you leave sunday night/monday morning you can squeeze in an extra game (not sure how bo_sox is going to explain that to his parents though :P). Or play some gunboats inbetween... Play 2 games at once... Make it a week...

Enough idea's.

Whatever you do, can we see pics? Or can I see pics? :)
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Dec 13 UTC
So I can guess which one is Celticfox.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Your not that pure... But nice try CF.
I just had a costume party idea... come as your favorite iconic board game character. Clue suspects, Mr. Monopoly, general from Stratego, Princess Frostine, Uncle Wiggly, the Operation patient, etc.

Too much work for a web dip F2F though.

How to deal with people taking advantage of CD
Well, yet again, we have a situation where a country solos because its neighbors go CD from the outset, everyone else is completely sporting about declaring a draw.

Perhaps some kind of ban on new games for a couple weeks or something for this kind of cheating?

The Foundation Series
I (at the suggestion of a forum member, who's name I forget but will hopefully identify themselves), just read the first three books in the foundation series by Isaac Asimov. After calibrating my block list by reading through a recent gun control debate thread, I'd like to ask forum dwellers for their take on this series, or at least the premise.
