The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

While we wait to see if anyone on Black wants to make a move, let's discuss how to improve the game in the future.

Discussion allowed, but only in the forum? A move must be made every 12 hours?

Anything else?
pangloss (363 D)
14 May 14 UTC
I think discussion only in the forum is good. Maybe a 24-hour time limit.

I found the board that we were copying and pasting to be a little difficult to read and manipulate. Maybe we could just link to an online chess board with the position on it? I'm sure we could find a mobile-friendly hosting site.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

24 hours per move means it could take up to 48 hours for a complete round. That seems painfully slow. If 4 people play on a side, I think 12 hours should be fine.

Yeah, I tried my best to find a good chess board. We do play on other sites from time-to-time, but switching back-and-forth for a forum games seems problematic. How would multiple people issues the moves?

That team resigns, I guess.

Resigning on time seems like it would make it less fun.

But going a whole day with no one making a move also is unfun, isn't it?

Yeah, but maybe a softer mechanism rather than ending the game would be better.
yebellz (729 D(G))
14 May 14 UTC
Like, how about you can't move two turns in a row, unless X hours have passed with no one else on your team moving.

Or 12 hours + 1 (or more) grace periods of another 12 hours?

And yeah, I agree I don't want games to end abruptly because of the timer. I just think so people need a bit of a push to move before analyzing 100 moves into the future.

Black only has one legal move, Kd8. In which case Qxb6+ Ke8 Qxc5 and the d4 pawn drops anyway. There might be a better continuation.

I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
