When are we up to unpausing? I'm curious to see the way it turns out.

Babysitting for a player in the same games wee_alex? Isn't that a bit of a conflict of interest? Logging on around the same times... I'm just thinking it's a little sus... I could be wrong of course.

I have heard other players said that they have baby sat for people they are in a game with. Some of whom (as I recall) are quite well known here.
In my opinion, I think this should be an absolute no-no. You should not be able to babysit for someone who is in a game with you (and clearly you would only do it if you were allies). That is exactly like multi-accounting.

hey it's bunjeeman here. I know weealex from work, so we play in the same games (i have fun pi**ing him off!). I went away for the weeknd, so I told him what i wanted t do. if it's a problem i won't ask him it again. i would have paused but those always seem to be a problem to unpause...
It should have been announced to other players in the game. I have been sending "you" press in which I talk about his country, not knowing that he could read those, plus all our earlier correspondence.

I agree - I should have handled it differently, and for that I apoligize. My bad, and I won't do it again. In the meantime, I'll go into CD in the game in question as penance.

Now, can we get back to talking about tunes?
Last music I listened to? My daughter phoning from back stage at the Halifax Paul McCartney concert, so we could hear Paperback Writer in the background.

Currently listening to:

Agaetis Byrjun - Sigur Ros

spyman, apparently Ken Thomas worked with Sigur Ros as well as M-83 and Cocteau Twins, though I wouldn't really say his style is the same.

Mewithoutyou - Brother, Sister

it's very interesting, the lyrics and style is quite poetic and much less musical than most bands, but I like it alot.

@Chrispminis
That's interesting. I would say that all three bands do have quite a bit in common. All three bands have an other-worldness to their sound. The singers for Sigur Ross and Cocteau Twins often sing in gibberish (although I believe in the case of Sigur Ross - it is an actual made up language in addition to Icelandic). I have heard Cocteau Twins described as dream pop and I would say that kind of dream quality is common to all three.

Btw Sigur Ross are a phenomenally good band. I love that album.

The soundtrack from Braid was the last album I bought, but really that was just for a couple of songs not the whole album

The last album I enjoyed as a whole album was QotSA - Songs for the Deaf, but I don't follow music much

Loading up my shiny new iPod now, and looking forward to 'rediscovering' a load of stuff - going to stick all the Blur albums on tonight, as Hyde Park was just ace

@Akroma - none at all, ever? I guess it says you don't like music :)
Akroma (967 D)

hmm, but that doesn't say a lot
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
13 Jul 09 UTC
@Akroma: What, never? You don't own any music CD's, records, tapes or downloaded tracks? You don't ever listen to music radio or watch music TV channels?

If you have absolutely no place for music in your life, that makes you pretty weird in my view, I'm afraid.

Why do you think it is you never listen to music? Have you never, ever, listened to a song and thought "that sounds cool, I like that"..?

Some people are color blind - perhaps some people are music blind. If you think about it is kind of weird that we like music so much. So it makes sense that some people just don't have that appreciation because of the way their brains are wired.
(Btw I am not saying that Akroma is in that category).
Akroma (967 D)
13 Jul 09 UTC
oh, I just can't. Music CDs are useless objects, so is the radio
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
13 Jul 09 UTC
@Akroma: Yes, but what do you mean "I just can't"? What do you feel when you hear music? How does your brain respond?
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Jul 09 UTC
I suppose when I say music blind, I mean tone deaf - also known as amusia.
Akroma (967 D)

Unpause a game please
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11990

Austria was banned for some reason, and the game went into pause. Austria has since been taken over, which is fine - but England hasn't turned up since friday (and thus hasn't voted). We have 36 hour phases, so if a mod could unpause, they will still have an entire 36 hours more from that point to join in again.

Could someone please unpause this game? It was first paused due to a multi-accounter. And while the multi-accounter's place has since been replaced, Italy has not logged in since Thursday.
