In all honesty
We tried this on vdip a while ago but It never really worked out, I still think its a cool concept though and was wondering if people here would like to try it. The idea is a classic game where you aren't allowed I lie. That doesn't mean you won't misdirect, or mislead people, but you can't outright lie.

How to get a sitter
My wife has reached full term and could go into labor any day now. So I figured I would go ahead and try and get sitters now while I have time (so that others don't have to wait later). The problem is I have no idea how the process works. What steps do I need to take?

Italian A Tyrolia to Munich has got to be one of the worst early game moves.
Unless this is carefully arranged bilaterally, I cannot possibly see any merit to this whatsoever. Yet I've been hit by it not once but multiple times recently, so clearly someone disagrees... so can someone tell me what the point of this move is?

China's Future
http://the-diplomat.com/2012/04/04/signs-of-a-new-tiananmen-in-china/?all=true
The title's misleadingly provocative, but this is an interesting analysis of how China's political system is facing real challenges.

Do people understand the meaning of diplomacy?
This is a very clever game, but I have to say there is a fine line between being diplomatic and lying your butt off, and I have to say I'm not impressed by the way some players play.

There used to be a time when I used to keep refreshing my home page to see what was new on the forums. Now there's just so much trash talk and so many muted threads/people that my forum column on the home page is just empty. Screw you trolls. You ruined my webdip experience.

NEW GAME
Hi forum! I'm in two games right now and will drop down to 0 pretty soon. I'd like to start a new game with those interested. It will be:
WTA, non-anon (preferred), 2-day phases, 25 D buy-in. Please post interest below. I'll set up the game next week (likely), and if we generate enough interest, maybe multiple games.

i already thought so, but i am surprised the calculation doesnt use the exelfile from te last time but instead does the entire calculation from the last month again.
@Sandgoose: Yep, I don't know how one would go about calculating it, but I definitely get the impression that my skill level is solidly Intermediate.

zultar, if you all come play poker with me I'll just flop straight flushes all night and then you're going to write some long ass message about what a fucktard (I assume Draugnar will be playing, and have an influence on your vocab) I am and nobody should play me because everyone else that has a pulse is so much more fun to play with because I'm the only one interested in winning money and everyone else is properly focused on just having fun playing poker... Not that I'm bitter! ;-)

Thanks for the work, Alderian, BTW!! (and to the ghost of Ghost, your presence still haunts us)
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
02 Apr 12 UTC
I don't know what the hell you are talking about MM. I am not interested in winning the whole pot as that would take too much work. I would settle for 16/34 of the pot or hell even a 17/34 split. I think we should agree right now that we will split the pot between us. I'll have fun that way, you'll have fun that way, and other people would have fun playing poker.

Thanks MM, but that was a once in a life time jump. It won't happen again, and I'll be getting back down to the 50s soon enough. :)

I believe they count for just 1/3 or 1/2. And if you want to rise quickly, you have to find high rank players to play against. ( And win offourse :))

My peak ghost rating in April is lower than my peak ghost rating in March:

Just curious, what's going on with that?
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
03 Apr 12 UTC
It means you got up higher halfway through the month but then dropped down a bit again.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
03 Apr 12 UTC
Hellenic, I don't think that's the case.
Leif, please read the OP. It has to do with Ghost's script error that Alderian fixed.
Leif_Syverson (271 D)
03 Apr 12 UTC
Thanks zultar, yeah that explained it.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
03 Apr 12 UTC
I don't think so, because that's just been wiped from memory Zultar. I moved up by 4 places according to that, even though I was 14th last month and 7th now. So I'm pretty sure that that is just totally irrelevant.
Draugnar (0 DX)
03 Apr 12 UTC
Yeah, it's Peak vs. All-Time. All-Time may have been adjusted due to correcting the issue with World IX PPSC, but peak is just your high for the month vs. your month end (current standing).
