@TheMinisterofWar

BTW, I like this thread and I totally know what you're talking about. My connection is a little slow so when I'm playing the "--No Orders to Submit" text pops up on my screen usually a full 20 seconds or so before the game map, etc. So when I see those little words I can usually conclude safely that I've avoided defeat for yet another turn.

I'm fine. It happened years ago and I still think that's the reason that I walk a bit funky, especially on stairs, but hey, shit happens. In a way, it was a hell of a joy ride. It's not really a day I curse or something.

He was accelerating from 0, so I think he drove like 10-20 km/h, and I was on my bicycle, so yeah that hurts, but I'm fine. He just didn't notice me and went through me instead of around me.

@Steephie - I had a friend bit on a bike. That's an even bigger ouch. You are lucky you didn't get seriously hurt. Mine at least was rear-ended in a car but the guy hit me at around 40 MPH (65 KPH). Good bit of whiplash and still a sort back and neck in bad weather.

Anyone a nice idea?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 13--Are You Ready For Some (Thanksgiving) Football?
Ah, Thanksgiving football...the last refuge of a man looking to avoid a family argument on Thanksgiving day. Truly there's no more unifying sentiment than "Shut up, eat your food, and root for the Cowboys to lose!" Come Sunday, the Chiefs and Broncos will clash, and the Saints and Seahawks go at it on Monday Night. It's a good and important week of football, so--PICK 'EM!

While that's admittedly a double sin, posting something from The National Review and TBBT, I'd never thought about it that way...granted I've only seen the film a couple times, but still, huh--was Indy was mostly or completely pointless to the overall plot, or did the best worst archaeologist of all-time really come out awesome after all...at least until Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? ;)

From Draw to Solo - Part 1
Playing to draw is quite easy for most of us - but how to turn that into a solo? I've seen many people struggle with that question and I'm no exception. For this reason I thought it would be good to analyze some actual cases and get some advice from the more advanced players on the site: how to get the solo? My first case, inside, I hope others follow!

Favorite Cocktails
I love cognac and wine, but aside from those two "regular" favorites, I love to try out new cocktails...they're just so impeccably tasty AND have that wonderful effect of leaving you "happy" enough--not really a somber drinker, except for one time, but that was due to extenuating circumstances--to be sociable but not dead on your feat or a drunken mess. So, for taste and effect alike...favorite cocktails? :)

Trading places
According to the Avalon Hill Diplomacy Rulebook, units cannot trade places without the use of a convoy. Is this also true in a situation where one of the territories is bicoastal? Can a fleet in Bulgaria (west coast) move to Constantinople while a fleet in Constantinople move to Bulgaria (south coast) or would this constitute a bounce?
