Wildlife Preserve "Occupied"

Occupied by "armed Oregon militia." Not terrorists. Even though they're armed and provoking a standoff with the federal government and putting countless lives at risk.

Cat v. Dog

I think Cats are far more lovable. It has been proven cats increase positivity in their owners. They also purr and reduce blood pressure and stress. Plus you never hear some asshole say: "honey we gotta take the fucking cat for a walk, AGAIN"

Dogs smell, and they jump on people and slobber on you. Cats should win this thing.

UN II - Constitution, resolutions and proposals.

The world has changed. The time of a lonely superpower is over. There are 17 powers in the world, and each of them has a vote in the security council in the new United Nations (UN).
The purpose of the game is role-playing game of diplomacy where the diplomacy between countries is in focus, not the actual war. You should choose a role to play (the neutral country opposed all wars, the super-power wanna-be, the federalist, the I'm-just-gonna-fuck-you-up-IS-role, or any other role).

Joinable games

I have been waiting months for this to make sense to me, but I still don't get it. When I click on Games, at the moment it says "Joinable (54)". When I click on the tab, I only see 1, and that game doesn't even have any joinable positions. What am I missing?

Wow abge that's very nice of you

abgemacht (1076 )

Don't mention it.

For the love of points is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for them have wandered away from the game and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Espi (338 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Is there a loan shark for points? Whats the RL cost for a single point? Are there point farmers? When did points turn into a religion?

ag7433 (927 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

This is a tournament, and the points can be borrowed if required. Abge will set you up.

However, if you win this cakewalk with borrowed points, you cannot collect the prize.

abgemacht (1076 )

One point is worth $0.1196.

Espi (338 )

So I need just over 10grand to become the number 1 player?

Yup. And then people will still judge you by your GR.

Espi (338 )

Ehh, 292, could be better but could also be a lot worse.

Valis2501 (2850 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

This is not a tournament, this is a competitive birthday party. 3

I will take whoever is can assuredly take the commitment, has enough points, and is at least decent.

Otherwise I'm sticking the hell out of this borrowing shenanigans, just let me know if it happens.

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

If someone else who has the points wants to play, I'll let that person take my spot. Otherwise, let's get started!

ag7433 (927 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Valis to be honest, I'm wavering on my commitment.

I think it was the chap who commented that 50 games x 5 min each = 250 min/day ... over 4 hrs a day?

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Well, its 48 hour turns, so it's really only 2 hours per day. : )

ag7433 (927 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

only for the first 2 days..

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

OK, if they stay in sync, I guess it's 4 hours every 2 days. But really, 5 minutes? I thought in gunboat you just randomly entered orders. That can't possibly take more than 30 seconds a game.

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

I'm guessing it'll take me between 1 and 2 minutes per game. If you order too quickly, you'll miss out on silent communication with supports that didn't go through and so forth. Though it doesn't need to take 5 minutes

goldfinger0303 (3157 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

abge - you know that we don't lend points anymore.

And ssorenn, I think I gave one person 4

one time to enter the Leagues, then subtracted it again when a game of his finished a few days later.

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

@gold

No I did not know that.

goldfinger0303 (3157 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Oh, I had thought we had decided upon that when you were on the team.

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

If there's really no way I can get the points, maybe we should play on vdip or something. I know they're not as restrictive about 5

minimum bets. Or you could just pay without me if you can find someone

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Though I would prefer to play here if thatbwere an option

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

This may come as a surprise but I don't actually have an eidetic memory and I haven't had much reason to remember nuanced mod policies on points : )

In any case, if you check your email, you'll see I talked to jmo and I think Brankl can get points for these games, as they all have small buy ins.

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

I may lose some points playing against more experienced players, but I'm not going to lose all my games, so I should be good for the points when this is all over. And if not I'll get them back playing live games :)

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Though you would have to be pretty bad to lose 88

in a tournament like this. And yes, if I manage to do it feel free to quote me on that

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Even if I lost 30 games, I'd only need 20 four-way draws to stay above water

jmo1121109 (3812 )

We'll get you setup shortly. Sorry about the confusion on it.

@abge, I call bull, I expect you to remember everything you ever did as a mod.

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Thanks, jmo.

If you ever need a Point Comptroller, you know how to find me.

Brankl (231 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Big thanks to Valis, abge, and jmo. I'm excited to start!

Valis2501 (2850 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

Glad to see everything has been worked out. I'll note that the total entry fee is 250, Brankl currently has 188. I say this because point values at time of posting are not recorded for posterity and I wish to have a record.

1. Valis2501
2. ag7433
3. guak
4. The Czech
5. LakersFan
6. EmperorMaximus
7. Brankl

However, ag7433, I don't want anyone to join if they don't want to, for their own sake.

Please let me know one way or the other, I'll still love you either way.

ag7433 (927 )
21 Jul 15 UTC

@abge I'm assuming everyone ready's up b/c it's gunboat. So each day will be a cycle at least of 50 games.

And I do not give special treatment to GB games. I stare with a blank mind across all types of games.
