I like talking about the future. Some of these seem already to have come true, lol.

Let's take a break from the usual forum drivel and have a nice thread for smarter things in life:

So here's a sauce I put on my noodles

RGIII and the Redskins partied like it was 1999 again! Adrian Peterson came up 9 YDs short of a record, but just got the Vikings in! Peyton's Broncons keep rising and Houston keeps slip-sliding away! Seattle won the division by my Niners are STILL Division Chaps! 12 teams, 2 Super Bowl Contenders...WILD CARD! DIVISION! CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS! SUPER BOWL! PLAYOFF PICK 'EM!

Looks like the assassin left the safety on!

Can I move a fleet from Bulgaria's South Coast to Constantinople at the exact same time as I move a fleet from Constantinople to Bulgaria's north coast?

Let's say hi to our new friend userID=50000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKKQdJR7F_I Frankly, I think that's a fair point--these people do NOT represent a very good side of either feminism or atheism, in my opinion...there's Feminism, and then there's "Feminism" or, as it might otherwise be put, "Demanding that everyone agree with your views full stop or else libeling them." Real feminism and real atheism is, I think, being somewhat "poisoned" by this increasingly-smug, self-assured band of PC Police.

For the purposes of this conversation, please ignore any psychological effects (such as the idea of progress, and how this inspires people to try to improve themselves and their lives)

I'm in a gunboat at the moment where one of the players - who has no shot at winning anymore - has decided to hold every turn giving SCs to the largest player, in effect throwing the game. I'd prefer if he would just CD so we can get somebody else. Are there any (un)written good practices?

Discuss. I haven't followed this as much as a lot of people, so while I have some opinions, I'mre more interested in hearing those of others. What did you think of his apology? Where does the public go from here vis-a-vis Armstrong?

I am wondering if there are people out there who would be interested in playing a game where for what ever power you take. You take on the character of that National leader e.g. England you are King George, Germany The Kaiser. Grandiose communications, and the like. What do u think.

Two of em died today... RIP Earl Weaver and Stan Musial. Opening Day will never be the same...

I'd be interested to know how they came to their weighting and formulae. Unfortunately, they're not publishing the algorithm. It's a little frustrating as it would be an interesting piece of discussion for the diplomacy community. Guess open source hobby building isn't a two way street. http://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=34913

I want to start a new game for my RL friends. How should I get them into my game? The "search" options for new games doesn't seem to have a title/keyword search option.

Iran nukes... for energy for or weaponry? The common good or the (potential) good of the Iranian government alone? Which are they? For you to decide...

She merely managed to start it and crash it into a building accidentally whilst cleaning. I hope that is now clear.

Anybody else play? we should make a Webdip clan.

We're getting drunk tonight. Figuratively speaking.

It's basically a red sack of water right? I'm trying to sort of evaluate (with shear power of the mind) to determine if it really should be in the "two ounces of vegetables and two fruits" zone or in the "drink 2 liters of water a day" zone.

This thread is intended to accurately analyse the presidents of the last 100 years. Beginning with Woodrow Wilson.

I've put up a blog to promote my writing - new to blogging and looking for suggestions on how to promote from anyone who has *successfully* done this.
