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'm not taking sides. i drew the game and thats that based on information at the time. hellalt has no control over the draw. whatever comments he makes stupid or not are not my view. lets just continue and finish this dang thing up. what do you want me to do about his comments? throw him out? i acknowledge they were not good. but i will leave it to ghost or figles to direct a person to be thrown out. this is the first time this tournament has happened and the first i have directed. I will obviously make mistakes.

DJE: As a tournment director, you have to make desitions, weather or not this is the first time around. It is not about taking sides.

When someone tried to delay a game ending, you made a desition to draw the game. And neither I, nor anyone else in Team South America has challenged that desition (I only asked for a better reason, but perhaps I shouldn't have, I understand why the desition was made), it was your call to make.

What I want from you as a tournament director is to decide weather hellalt's comments are acceptable or not within the context of the tournament. If they are not acceptable, then I don't ask for any particular measure, but I guess at least a warning is in order.

Also, neither Ghost nor Figles have anything to do with this. All mods ever do when someone talks about ongoing games in the forum is tell them "you shouldn't talk about ongoing games", and at least TGM did.

"which i did say they were inappropriate and i have private messaged hellalt for further explanation "

Ok, then al is clear on my part. The words "sketchy" and "no good" felt like not enough, but inappropiate + a private talk seems good enough. Thank you.

@ Hellalt, It is also quite inappropriate for you to carry on using this kind of language in a public forum. You really need to control what you say.

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?
