This is probably irrelevant to most of you, but my second daughter just came into the world. Where do I go to share this news? Webdip.
In any event, she's healthy and I am one happy papa.

http://nba.si.com/2014/04/29/donald-sterling-adam-silver-nba-owners-reaction/ To be clear--this is HYPOTHETICAL. There's nothing in the NBA Constitution that gives the commissioner the right to do this, so this is more just a thought experiment--say that power existed, and Adam Silver COULD force Serling to sell the team based on his repeated racist comments over the years, with this last doozy being the kicker. If the power existed, SHOULD the man lose his team over this?

Apparently it isn't Helgoland, it's Heligoland.

Been playing for 8 years!

A daily log of YJ's journey to find joy and unity with the Christian God. Strap yourself in kids, this might take awhile.

I'm tired of the NMRs and CDs that are far too common i the low-bet games I can afford to play. I'd love to play in the big-pot games with the best players, but I don't have the $ (and, hey, I'm not that good anyway). If there are other middle of the road players who feel the same way, perhaps we can organize a password-protected game (or two if there's enough interest) of reliable gunboaters. More below.

Before you follow link, guess how many SCs the winner has? It's a ancient med game...

I've been thinking about putting together a face to face game for some new players (friends who don't play diplomacy.... yet). But, I've never played FTF myself - so:

What kind of phase lengths do people use? I assume that there's also a time or turn cap too (eg game ends in 1910)?

We're going May 17 or 24, as per Mrs. maple.

This is a problem to me.

Respect the Legend, Bubba!

Two IU players busted for underage drinking, one I know well. I guess the shocking part of their arrests is that the police in B-town are such assholes that they go around hunting for underage drinkers on Little 500 Day.

Please tell me no one on webDip suffered until 21 before their first drink.

A veiled chameleon. He's a little older (adolescent, not juvenile) and really cool. Already he is getting used to me and will hang out on my shirt sleeve and such.

She's just got a sick sense of humor, right?

Dear Staff:

What is the statue of limitations for prosecuting people who have broken the site rules, cheating specifically?

So, one of my courses this semester is about "contemporary issues" and one of the issues I'm supposed to debate during our final is whether Woody Allen deserved the lifetime achievement award given to him by the Golden Globes. I've been assigned to argue on the side that he should not have gotten the award. And I want to hear what the people of WebDip think. Source links in the thread.

But I can't dance. How do I make sure that it's decent enough to not look ridiculous?

Hi all, I'm new here but have been playing Diplomacy for years and years. Apologies if this post carries the stigma of any WebDip forum taboos...

YJ -- Here you go buddy Go buy this and let me know what you think. In fact, I think I might have to go buy this and let you kow what I think. Best Title for "God's Word" I can think of, too -- after all, front to back, page 1 to last, that's pretty much what the whole thing is about. God is Disappointed In You:

What do you do when a country has NMRs or CDs at the start of a game?

I was thinking about creating a game with only germans or who ever his grandma was violated by a fucking judden or commie or any other sons of their protitutes mothers out there,it is also reliable to have a single brown hair jumping out of your blonde scalp as a sign of your not pure Aryan blood.
Who is in?
