Marvel vs DC
Taking this from the Great Debate thread. So who do you guys like better? Any match ups you'd like to discuss or what not. I'm personally a Marvel fan because I feel they use more shades of grey in their writing and plotlines.

HONY
My new favorite Facebook feed. Basically, Humans of New York photographs a person on the sidewalk and posts a brief story about the encounter or the subject's story a few times each day. Mostly human interest stories, but interjected with humor, philosophy, and life observations.

Experienced players
Please consider signing up as a mentor for the SoW games. I can almost guarantee you have played with at least 1 graduate from these games. They help new players learn how to play and they help older players meet a new group of talented players. There is less work in mentoring then in playing an extra game, so please sign up if you can.

Selling Points made Legal

Diablo 3 has changed the way we play online games. You can actually make money by selling items, gold and in game materials at a small commission to the Site. Diplomacy should do this too, think how much money Splitdiplomat and Czech could make, it would be like they had jobs suddenly. This seems like a great Idea for up and comer players like Zmaj who will only keep playing in hopes of unlocking achievements or something. May as well let them make some cash instead.

yebellz promotion
Sorry this took so long, but since abge has stepped down, we needed another admin help me out, so yebellz has been promoted from moderator to administrator. Please take a moment and congratulate him for all the hard work he's done for us on a volunteer basis and willingness to do more!

Thucydides (864 D(B))

"Thanks for all of the support!" <---hahahahahahahaha

Anyway stand down haters. Yebellz is the right choice. Who else should it have been, anyway? He was the obvious choice.

Zultar is too new.
Geofram is on hiatus.
I am not reliable enough, and I am far more polarizing than ye.

Beyond that, he would simply make a good admin. You guys don't know it, but once ybellz came on board he has been doing the work of two mods.

Not only that, he set up a brilliant system for managing [email protected]'s inbox, which before him was a total mess before he got there. He already had far more de facto power than any other mod.

The way you guys react to shit like this you'd think we chose Putin lol. Yebellz is an outstanding member of this site, and, since I suppose I can only really speak for myself, puts me to shame as a mod.

Grats yebellz.

(of course, what they don't tell you is that the delay was only so long because there was a protracted internal power struggle in which i insulted yebellz's family history and attempted to drive him insane, also i threatened FK with blackmail and offered bribes. alas. maybe $3k wasn't a big enough offer. pm me for routing no.)

largeham (149 D)
04 Jun 12 UTC
Congrats yebellz. I guess one reason some people might have a problem with yebellz is because we haven't seen much of his moderating, compared to abge, FK or Thucy who do discuss mod decisions when appropiate. Or you know, people just hate the mods :)

Eh I don't think any of them would of been horrible .. well except Geo but that's been addressed. Then again I'm still relatively new to the forums and didn't know if there was past history there.

And Thucy I don't think there would of been as much outcry as you think there would of been if it had been you.

I'm kinda curious who the new mod is now though.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
05 Jun 12 UTC
Well, it's not up to me to reveal the identity of the new mod, but needless to say, he will stay true to the standard noble spirit of modding that abge has arduously created. He is also very sneaky so I wouldn't try to run a quick one by him.

Was that enough of a hint? ;-)

Suspected multi-account in live game
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=90854

The game is anonymous and in progress now. Austria and Italy both looked like they were going to fail to submit orders in Spring 1901. Since then, Austria has been freely ceding his home supply centers to Italy and writing unlikely support orders.

Diplomacy as a learning tool?
So without being too specific, I teach an international relations course at a university. Since the last week will mostly be consumed with students writing their final papers and my class is oddly small (6 students), I'm thinking about playing a game of diplomacy with them in the last couple days.

Christians vs Atheists
Seeing as there is normally at least one of these debate threads a week, I thought I would just set this here and see if there is in fact any middle ground to be had. -> http://www.cracked.com/article_15759_10-things-christians-atheists-can-and-must-agree-on.html

Atheists, what do you think? Christians, how about you?
