WTA vs PPSC

A frequent debate on this site. I'm of the WTA camp as I disdain the "strong second" PPSC mentality.
It seems that the inventor of the game, Allan Calhamer shared this view, arguing that the WTA objective provided for much more interesting end game drama.

Need sub for triathlon

DILK has gone AWOL so we need someone to take over a FP and GB game. If we can't get one person to do both, then I'd be more than happy to find a different person to do each game.

Roman Legions vs. Mongol Hordes

To commemorate the 807th anniversary of the grand Quriltai which saw Temujin elected as Genghis Khan, I ask who would win a battle between a force of Mongols and a slightly larger force of Roman legions (for the sake of discussion, we will say from the late republic/early empire period) in a head-to-head matchup? Please discuss.

Is war between Russia and England more or less inevitable?

The Norway-StP corridor is very hard to DMZ. Perhaps conflict will always occur. I at least cannot think of a time in recent memory that they went the whole game without fighting (barring an early elimination of one or both).

Discouraging country based resigns thought...

Webdip uses a country weighting system where the more often you have been a country, the less a chance you have of being it again and vice versa. So how about use that to deal with people that abandon a game because they got a country they don't like?

Is it just because I'm in college or what?

Does anyone else have the experience that the time when gender issues and parity come most the fore is when a coed group of people goes partying together? Shit just happens and you have to make decisions based on that stuff more often than in normal life. At least I feel that way. Thoughts?

So has obiwanobiwan finally matured and can I take him off my mute list?

Obi need not answer. I won't see it. But does anyone else want to chime in with their opinion so I can decide if it is safe to take him off? I kind of miss his long winded posts, but he got so over the top with his youthful insistence he knew everything I had to mute him or kill him before his 21st birthday, and I thought the former was the better option.

What goes on in the site stays on the site (nudge nudge wink wink). How much cash are we talking here, I can lay large sums off with Mack the Hammer, the problem can be collecting your winnings though, he doesn't like losing !!

Alex987 (174 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

Wait a second, I'm projected near the top? lol

So the way this is scored is that all of your SCs are added up from each individual game, and whoever has the most wins?

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

Oh yes, in a League table stylee..... every SC counts !!

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

More importantly guys, someone has gone AWOL ..... check the safe to see if the money is still there !!

Alex987 (174 )

I'm better as a diplomat than gunboat, so I'm at a slight disadvantage here :)

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

You can be Diplomatic in gunboats but you do it slightly differently ...... when you've no move for a unit support hold your neighbour, you can build an alliance as simple as that, then smash him when he turns his back :-)

Oh yeah I know, I'm just not as good at spotting it. My words are sweeter than my actions :P

Most total SCs wins, huh? So you're saying my plan to vote draw each opening Spring is flawed?

On a side note, I love that the "No CD Tourney" is threatened by a no show. Priceless.

I'm hoping to have some fun games, it's open to all players but it would be good to have someone who kills you with a smile rather than a scowl..... it's a fun game but some people seem unhappy to be playing :-)

Latest Odds:
bo_sox48 3/1 5/2F
Alex987 3/1 7/2
seth24c 3/1 JF - Non-Runner
BosephJennett 6/1 11/2
Fortress Door 12/1 10/1
NigeeBaby 16/1 14/1
djakarta97 33/1 25/1
Other player 33/1

1 more please ..... we're ready to rumble !!

I think we have a non-runner, so the betting has changed, we now have a clear favourite at 5/2, Alex is dridting in the betting, out to 7/2. Boseph comes in to 11/2

bo_sox48 (5202 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

If SD plays, the odds are:

SD 1.
Us 0.

CSteinhardt (9560 )

If this is gunboat, I could be convinced to play. My last set of gunboats is now mostly wrapped up (5/7 done, 2 in endgames).

bo_sox48 (5202 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

3 gunboats, one public only, one full game.

NigeeBaby (100 )
22 Jun 12 UTC

CSteinhardt if you're interested let me know and I'll give you the p/w. You would be very short odds as I know you're a top gunboater

CSteinhardt (9560 )

I really don't have time for press games I think, sorry!

Alex987 (174 )

So the second ratio are the actual numbers that people bet on you, and the first are your projected odds?

NigeeBaby (100 )
23 Jun 12 UTC

Are you joining Sydney (I've sent him the p/w's).
Alex, as you're podds change in betting this is how it is shown so your price has weakened to 7/2 from 3/1, bo_sox48 odds have shortened which makes him clear favourite

NigeeBaby (100 )
23 Jun 12 UTC

Still need one ......

Sydney City 3/1 JF

Fortress Door 12/1 10/1 12/1
NigeeBaby 16/1 14/1 16/1
djakarta97 33/1 25/1 33/1

Sydney is joining and comes straight in as joint favourite, Alex is drifting in the market, now out to 5/1, djakarta is back out to 33/1, could be an interesting each way prospect, the dark horse in the race
