Fox News

This is one of the saddest and funniest (in a twisted sort of way) videos I have ever seen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RClJ6vK9x_4
This seemed very apropos of the debate in the NPR thread re: Fox's reliability compared with other stations. This seems to me to provide the definitive solution to that debate.
Thoughts?

Zero Tolerance or Turn The Other Cheek?

I recently had an encounter with an annoying little twerp in which he crossed (in my opinion at least) the metagaming line. The question is should I bother to mention it to our already overworked mods? Should we attempt to crush all damaging forms of metagaming with an iron first, or should we ignore the more minor forms of cheating?

Performance issues

As a newbie I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not, but I am seeing two performance problems that are quite irritating. I time out readying orders, and also every time I change pages on the site there is a delay of 10 seconds or so before I can do anything. Is this normal?

Proper English in diplomatic correspondence.

What is your opinion on using proper English in diplomatic correspondence as opposed to shorthand (like u = you, wanna = want to etc.) I am usually less likely to trust a shorthand player and prefer full English communications.

Mostly Irrelevant Question

So, I didn't think this would ever come up, but:

If you have an SC left, but it's not one of your home centres, and your last unit is destroyed, and then the game ends, what goes on your record? And are you considered defeated immediately? Or not until someone walks over to your SC and sits there over the winter?

"Rango" is Lousy

I like Johnny Depp. I think "Gilbert Grape," "Pirates otC I," "Ed Wood" and "Sleepy Hollow" are all very good. But I saw "Rango" today, misled by the generally good reviews, and found it dark, vulgar, violent, slow and fatally self-aware in an ironic, in-jokey way. If you loved it, peace to you. I did not.

I set up the Group C Public Press game from my iPhone while on vacation this weekend...I must have missed setting the sign up time to a longer phase. Because of JesusPetry's withdrawal....I am not so sure more time would help as much as everyone signing up quickly, so we can pause for 2 weeks....or let the game lapse and restart a new one with a replacement player for South America.

BP is missing The Conquerer. He's the last one so if wanted password can be reset for him.

BG is missing jakooli.
Basically looks like nobody thought to tell the Aus 2 team the passwords to their games.
I'll do group C for you in a bit

JECE (1248 )

gameID=19896 is userID=21852 (Infinitum?) and userID=14799, I bet.

figlesquidge (2131 )
27 Jan 10 UTC

Well, those are the missing players. However that isn't Infinitum's account you've linked to - he's in

JECE (1248 )
27 Jan 10 UTC

userID=21825 is Infinitum, who last visited at 4:00 PM. Infinitum probably got the e-mail. So that leaves Geofram, absent since Fri 15 Jan.

figlesquidge (2131 )
27 Jan 10 UTC

Hang on, you sure you mean IronChancellor? He's not in any games & apparently never posted on the forum? How could he be in a team

JECE (1248 )

I got 21852 from http://micro-nations.de/diplomacy/teams.php.

It seems to be a typo for 21825.

See threadID=524130. I forgot about it. Geofram, userID=14799, is not going to be playing the world cup. If Geofram is in my game, that's a problem, unless a replacement has been found that I am not aware of.

I can remind maddigascar & sean with the password.
StevenC. is in my team. I will contact him, but cannot give him the password.

Country assignments

A group that I play with are moving our correspondence game to web diplomacy. Normally, we switch country assignments between games so people don't have to play as the same country twice in a row. Is there a way to manually select who plays as what country or can it only be done randomly?

Readying orders.

I'm in an anonymous gunboat (might be a tautology, still new-ish) at the moment with someone who saves his orders but never readies them, as there are 24 hour phases where most people are finished after around 10 or so this this could be getting quite annoying if it continues throughout the game. Just wondering if there's any way to communicate that it would be good for them to ready them?

Fear or greed?

The Sage of Omaha once said that investors should try to be "fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." Which tendency, if either, tends to govern your Dip play, especially when you divert from a long-range plan (i.e. to stab earlier than you had hoped)?

This Time On Philosiophy Weekly: "What Do YOU Think Heaven And Hell Are Like, Then?"

That's a question I got on the bus this week, and it's been on my mind ever since, sort of simmering there...just when I think I'm happily ready to watch a movie, on comes Hamlet and instantly he's talking about this and that about death and there the question is again, so I put it to you as well, WebDip members--play Dante. If YOU could have your perfect, 100% version of what the two "afterlives" are, what would each be like? Is it anything to be excited about?
