Wonderful World of Warfare: A WorldDip game for talkers.
Hello everyone! I just created a world game in hopes that we can get a fun, clean game together. The meek and anti-social need not apply.

See ya on the battlefield!

Off-topic: Browser Game
I've been playing a little browser game that lets you built up a squad of soldiers and customize them in order for them to fight automatically against other opponents.
It's quite nifty overall if you get into it and only take a couple of minutes each day.

Credibility issues after stabbing
Hey everyone,
I had a little issue I was curious about on stabbing: is that really the path to winning this game? I always find it a waste of good faith-building in an alliance to resort to simple terrain nicking at some point when you have so many more options (see follow up):

People missing orders
Argh! The first two games I play on here, two powers failed to submit Spring 1901 orders, which really fucks things up. :( I wish there was some sort of penalty for this or that webdiplomacy would send emails when a game starts and when you have orders due...

The fact that Congress owns a quarter million private residences is proof beyond a doubt that capitalism didn't cause the financial meltdown, government did.

It is not too late, not an enviable position but a nice challenge. Definitely needed for the game to regain a semblance of balance.

**OFFICIAL - Summer Gunboat News**
Really sorry about the delay with game three. It will happen as soon as we figure out the technical issue with replacing this one player. I think we're going to forgo the 4th game (round 2 only has 3 anyway), that way the first leg will be done by end-June, leaving July for the second leg and August for the finals.

Panama canal
Ok, this may sound dumb, but I can't figure it out. Does central America on the world board have a panama canal? It doesn't have a costal designation so is it possible to move from the east side of south America to the west side through there?

Storytime With Obi
Well, krellin posted a story, and asked for honest opinions, and I gave mine...and was askedn, then by fiedler and a few others to submit something of mine, then. This is part of a larger work I'm working on, so please bear that in mind, this is NOT meant to be a stand-alone piece...I'll be posting the section I have here in three parts, plus a short "Prologue" just to explain what this is all about. Critique, enjoy, be hoenst...and God help you all. ;)

I'm sorry--

You said "Jew coward," and yet you adressed "abie?"

Now, I may be just a cowardly, wickedly-greedy self-possed Jew poseur...

But did you mean to attack me with that, or abgemacht?

Because attacking me is one thing...

But attacking abgtemacht--come on, maple...you should know better than to challenge those brighter and more worthwhile that you!

...Granted that's almost anyone, really, but still--picking a battle of wits and class with abgemacht?

Why not enter into a fight with George Foreman?

Well, then again, "Rope-a-Dope" WOULD be an appropriate title for a fight between you two...float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, ABIE-ABIE-ABIE!

I'm sorry, maple...

I'm not interested in playing with you anymore...

I'm having far too much fun watching krellin and King Atom troll the World Game we set up, that you couldn't be bothered to join...

And, anyway, you keep bumping the thread, so it's really rather boring...

THREAD TO FOLLOW.

And I'd just like to know, how many writers are actually on this site?
Thucydides (864 D(B))

Depends on your definition of writer.

If you mean someone who writes for fun, I for one, write.

If you mean a published writer.... lol tough luck. We may have one but they've never mentioned it if they are.

Speaking of such, because of the frequent power cuts in Senegal I have been doing quite a lot of writing here, which I am loving. I haven't written this much in months (years?).

I am writing a story and I guess I will post for you guys to read when I finish if you like - I guess it's science fiction... I'm not sure.

I have some other stories written already if you (or just obi) would like to see but I have to get them off my old computer back in America. But I'd be glad to share those too.

We should just start like a "writers' thread" where we post stuff and critique each other.

My ex-girlfriend is a writer and works at a writing advice consultation center at my university but now that we don't talk I rely on you chumps. Lol.

I'll re-post it. It's a real cliffhanger.


##########################################################
I start awake hearing a sound, like the clatter from one of the kitchen chairs being knocked over downstairs. I open my eyes, turn my head and look at the clock radio. Two seventeen a.m. It's quiet. What's that? I think I just heard someone walking downstairs. A quiet tread. Walking around the living room it sounds like. I swing free of the covers and quietly pivot my feet onto the floor. I can't hear anything now. I wait for a few seconds and adjust my vision to the darkness. I crouch and walk to my bedroom doorway. Still no sound. I look straight out the doorway and see the top of the stairs and part of the upstairs hall. Empty. Still no sound.

WardenDresden (239 D(B))
24 Aug 11 UTC
I'm sorry maple, but that little segment isn't much. You're a bit jumbled, for instance the eyes of your character would've been adjusting to the dark from the moment he opened them, and looked at the clock. No need to mention it. If the pause is important, then give another reason for it. However, honestly, I see little point to the vignette you posted.

@hellalt - Wow. That's a pretty good poem.

@WD - Good factual point, but it's ART, baby. The point was to illustrate the use of a straight narrative to create and heighten suspense.

200001: A Past Legacy
Every human life on Earth, tomorrow, suddenly vanishes. Mankind is gone for good. But you learn that by the year 200001, either the Apes will rise, or space aliens will come along...SOMEONE will populate Earth once more, and wonder who used to live here. You build a Mt. Mankind: 10 Heads of anyone who's ever lived, and one relic/piece of work of theirs to tell the future who humans were. Who, and what, do you choose?

Idea for a new betting system: % instead of # of points
I'd like to suggest a new option in which the required bet for a game is an equal percentage of a player's total points (including those in play) instead of a set number of points. In practice, the relative investment for all players would be more equal and could encourage underdogs to take on the richest players on the site.
