I need help joining games
Hello Developer: The game won't let me join games. Why would that be? I log in correctly, even changed my password, logged out then back in, but when I try to join games the system tells me I am using an incorrect password.

Is there a different password for joining games??? Obviously I am using the corrrect password to sign in, otherwise this wouldn't be happening, so I am confused.

Ok full press, but commitment to keeping the public press lively. Share links, make jokes, make it fun to play the game.

I wouldn't mind ppsc but whatever.

Definite full press. I don't join a private game to sit in silence, I want some enjoyment.

definitely want anon. specially since ava promised he would crush me, i want no bias.

plus anon adds more fun to public chat as long as its rowdy.

I'd like open (non-anonymous) players and at LEAST public press, if not full press.

I'm willing to cave on the anonymity thing, though. That's not as important to me as just having a good time.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

@Kat

We've settled on full press. It seems that most people want anon, so if that isn't a huge deal to you, that's probably how we'll go.
Katsarephat (100 D)
22 Jul 10 UTC
I'm okay with going all-in, but I have a small number comparatively. :-( Sorry.
Katsarephat (100 D)
22 Jul 10 UTC
@abgemacht: Sure, that's fine. I've never done anonymous before, actually, so I hope that won't put anyone off. I can't see why it would though :-)
ava2790 (232 D(S))
22 Jul 10 UTC
I'd like anonymous for the following reasons: if I know who cent is, I will kill him. If I know who draug is, I'll kill him just for fun. If I know who strat is, I'll kill him for revenge in the Rage is Therapy game. If I knew who rlumley is, I'd turn my units around and take him out first since we have a few scores to settle. And if any of these people caught wind of who I was, they'd just gang up on me anyway out of fear for their lives.

@Kat - the thesis of the Rage is Therapy game was to flame each other on public press the entire time

It was so great. I just wish I hadn't gone CD and taken you out Russia.
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Jul 10 UTC
@Kat - ava isn't actually serious (well, I don't think he is... <*shrugs*>). But anonymous is better for not allowing even the perception you are metagaming, even unintentionally. although we all tend to know how each of us writes and will probably have it figured out by game's end anyhow.
Katsarephat (100 D)
22 Jul 10 UTC
Sorry, I'd never seen the Rage is Therapy game. It sounds like a lot of fun though!

I've been away from the site for a while, so I guess I'm basically a n00b again. I'm not fully sure about the culture any more.

Oh well. :-)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20100719/pl_politico/39899 Now don't get me wrong, a mosque built near Ground Zero in NYC is a bit odd and I have mixed feelings about the issue, but to make the connection and say Muslims, rather than terrorists perverting Islam, attacked us bordering on outright bigotry. "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing," Nice, Palin, nice...
