Those election results in full below:

Rape Culture

So one of my female friends informed me 10 minutes ago that today is international Womens Rights day, or some shit like that, and it sprang a short debate about various women's right issues. Can someone please explain to me the merits of believing in rape culture, cause it just sounds like pure bullshit to me.

Mod cancels games

I was just in a game, where it was canceled because the mods said someone might be cheating. While I understand why the game was stopped,but why was it canceled, and not allowed to find someone to replace the cheater?

Russians to Welcome Crimean Secession?

http://news.yahoo.com/top-lawmaker-russia-welcome-crimea-152337948.html Let's keep this one specific, given that we already have a main thread for the Crisis in Ukraine: 1. Your thoughts on Crimea's stated intention to secede and Russia's warm response, 2. SHOULD Crimea secede, 3. WILL it happen and 4. SHOULD Crimea be considered "Russia," as these demonstrators seem to think?

Why Professors should give the students their midterms and exams back

I've always hated how most professors don't let you look at a midterm or exam after righting it. I'm always convinced that its because they're lazy fucks who want to keep the exam the same every year and don't do it to prevent us from being able to sell said exams to our underclassmen. Below is the list of reasons why I strongly think profs should give students their marked midterms and exams back

To thin the draw or not thin... that is the question...

I think it an added dimension to the on-line game and like the extra dynamics and strategy it affords. Particularly in GB where there is no collusion. Earn your place in the draw or punish a grabber by throwing a solo... all part of the game.

What's the best lesson you've learned in a Diplomacy game?

Game-related lesson, that is. While I'm not big on the forum, I do like reading the game-related threads from time to time. The "Letting your ally win" discussion spurred the above question for me. My answer below.

Gunboat/Press hybrid game

I just thought about the idea of playing a game where the first year is full press through the 1901 builds, and the game turns to gunboat after the fact. It would essentially be a gunboat game that can have crazier openings and break the mold of having very similar 1901 years from game to game. Anyone interested in trying this out?

It's a funny thing, but even though obiwan has been here forever, and I can't recall him ever not being active, for some reason I keep thinking of him as fairly new. On the other hand I still think of myself as new too, although it seems I have somehow been here for several years...

Letting Your Ally Win

I recently played two PPSC games (a normal world gameID=132877,and a modern gunboat gameID=132764), in both of which a player decided not to attack the leader, resulting the leader to solo and the other coming in second. Do you think letting your ally win is ever acceptable?

An Open Question to Putin33: What Do YOU Want in the World?

What do you want with regards to Eastern-Western Relations? With Putin's intervention in the Crimea and the Ukraine crisis on the whole? Syria, where you and I differ again? Israel/Palestine, where you and I differ again (which I find interesting given that I want them to have their own state and have criticized the Israeli encroachment into the West Bank, but I digress.) If you could have EXACTLY what you wanted in each scenario, snap your fingers and it's done--what would you WANT?
