Magnavox Micromatic Cabinet Record Player
So, I bought a Magnavox Micromatic Cabinet Record Player circa 1968 at Goodwill today. I've never been a huge audiophile but this is still one of the best purchases I've ever made. I'm particularly impressed I was able to plug it in after more than 40 years and have it work right away.

Automatic Cancel
How come games that start with less than 7 players don't automatically cancel? If 2 or more countries don't even show up in a live game why does the system allow it be voted on? It seems like the countries that can get an immediate jump have no incentive to cancel.

Facebook Parenting, Or, How His Daughter Learned to Stop Bitching and Respect Her Parents
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl1ujzRidmU
I was a right shit to my parents at times at 15, especially my father, sure, who isn't as a teenaged boy...but if I'd EVER done or said what she did, I'd have been parented and HOW...and I'd NEVER post something that disrespectful on Facebook like that...but--her father works for Information Technology, and she did that and thought it was smart? Good for him, I say, good parenting...agree?

2-Z started so I sent out the request to have it shuffled. Don't forget you guys will need to unpause once it happens.

@Sarg, I can barely be a secretary to myself!
Geofram (130 D(B))

2-X and 2-Z shuffled, get to unpausing and finalising!

2-Y you're slow.

Ha, well you're keeping a good lid on things then!
Thanks for the shuffle, this time I'm very happy.
Come on 2-Y, keep up.
Geofram (130 D(B))
22 Sep 11 UTC
Well the assignments are completely random, in fact, if you want to know how it works, here's an example. (Note, there are WAY better ways to do this, but this was a quick and dirty way):

Player Three is randomly chosen from the seven, Player Three can be {A, E, F, G, I, R} (He's been Turkey in game one). So now he's randomly assigned as F.

Is there a player that's been France before? Yes, Player Seven. Ok, he's next. Player Seven can be {A, E, G, I, R, T}. Let's say he's assigned G.

Is there a player that's been Germany before? No. Ok, well randomly get another player: Player Two. Player Two can be {A,E,F,G,I,R} (He was also Turkey in his game one. But her can't be F or G now, so {A,E,I,R}. Let's say he's assigned E.

Then it will ask if a player has been England before, and so on and so on.

If the computer ever get's to the last player and last country assignment, but they match (meaning that person would have to be the same country again) It just re-runs it.

Making it HIGHLY inefficient and I'd probably fail if it was code for class/work, but its so simple and fast (and for personal use) that I don't care.
Sargmacher (0 DX)
22 Sep 11 UTC
Oh I knew they'd be random - the thanks was more for getting it done so swiftly, rather than for making me happy with my new country. Thanks for the dirty example though - how did you set up a programme to do that for you, what software did you use? I've never been very technical with computers so it always impresses me.
Geofram (130 D(B))

I wrote it in Java. And I usually write Java using Eclipse.
If I ever clean it up, I'd be happy to publish it.

Programming isn't as hard as people make it out to be.

2-Y is still waiting on one person.
2-Z needs two people to unpause.

We had a NMR in 2-X!
Sargmacher (0 DX)
24 Sep 11 UTC
I'm in that game too, it seems totally unfair that a player would NMR in a league game. It's so important and that NMR has given tactical advantage to at least two countries.
NMRs happen IRL as well. Buddy got distracted and missed his turn, his loss, and the fact that it was a player's actions (or in-actions) mean it is hardly unfair. Unless of course, he has simply quit...
Sargmacher (0 DX)
24 Sep 11 UTC
Oh, I know, I appreciate that aspect. It does 'seem' totally unfair and I share JesusPetry's frustration but I also accept that it happens. It's just a shame that it has happened in a tournament.

Maybe someone with some time and detective skill can figure out who it is and beat them into joining.

2-Y has been shuffled and paused.
No one has finalised, so hopefully everyone sees it and gets going.
Game 3-XYZ will go out when that game has hit 1903.
Ursa (1617 D)

May I ask why there still is a pause? Or do we all need to unpause in order to get the game started?
