memorial game to the revelion in gheto varsaw
I was thinking about creating a game with only jews or who ever his grandma was violated by a fucking nazzi or kkk or any other sons of their protitutes mothers out there,it is also reliable to have a single blond hair jumping out of your black beard as a sign of your not pure Jewish blood.
Who is in?
If you wonder why am i acting like a jerk lately is just because my girlfriend kicked me out of the house and i am really mad.

Convertible Keys
My wife is taking her Jeep to drop off at the shop tonight, meaning tomorrow she either gets the minivan or my convertible. I told her if she wants my convertible she'll have to pluck the keys from between my butt-cheeks in the morning, because I'm sleeping with them to protect my ride.

Is that wrong?

BBQ
Barbeque means many things to many people, depending on where you are in the world. For me, BBQ means pulled pork shoulder (North Carolina style) with a vinegar base sauce. What does BBQ mean to you?

Star Trek Online
So I used to enjoy this game, but my friends don't, and I don't like playing it on my own, nor joining some random fleet, so...

Anyone wants to play it together? I have 3 characters of various factions, roles and levels and I'm also willing to start over, so enough options there I'd say.
Diplomacy fleet works for me :)

So, some people didn't like that I Silenced some live game ads today. That's cool.

See inside for the two options (warning: +1 whoring imminent). Please feel free to discuss. I'll bump this for about a week.

Reliability ratings
A post on a vDiplomacy feature we're porting back to webDiplomacy; reliability ratings
kestasjk (99 DMod(P))
21 Apr 14 UTC
(+14)

We'll soon be adding a new feature which as been successful from vDiplomacy called Reliability Ratings, which lets people block other players that leave games in civil disorder or have lots of no-moves-recieved. Although we've been collecting civil disorder data for a long time and not doing anything with it we haven't been collecting NMR data, so last weekend we started collecting that, and we've starting adding basic reliability rating info to game profiles.

At the moment we're still collecting info, since we only want to make it an official feature when people can confidently block people below some number and know what percentage of players they're blocking. At the moment we really have no idea, so we're just collecting info on NMRs and we'll graph it all and get feedback and see what kind of scores people expect. Until then we've got some very basic reliability ratios displayed on the profiles, but they are really simplistic and I wouldn't put too much stock in them (this is why there's no feature to ban people based on the realiability ratios yet).

Any queries / thoughts let me know at [email protected] , but we'll check out all the data and introduce it into an official feature as soon as we're confident we know what kind of reliability scores are average / good / exceptional.

Regards,
Kestas

Can we get confirmation as to whether the downtime added to the CD numbers if people were in a lot of on-going games as it seems that some people have CD figures not commensurate with the number of Resigns
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
21 Apr 14 UTC
@NigeeBaby, right now you don't need to worry about the numbers of CD's. I don't have a clue how they are calculated and won't until Kestas is done with testing out the code. For now we're mainly collecting data on the phases before any restrictions are finalized.

Thanks, Kestas! I think it's a great idea to incorporate reliability ratings into this site.

I've emailed my thoughts to you and the mods, but I've copied it below as well.

Current Issues:
1) "Resigns" can vastly under count the number of times a player has actually CDed since a replacement or eventual defeat keeps it off their record, and multiple CDs in one game is only registered as one (or possibly zero) resign(s).
2) Adding a CD counter is good, but I think that it has actually over counted actual CD situations. It seems that force CDs initiated by the mods are also being counted. While in most cases of force CDs it makes sense to ding the player with a CD, there other cases where it doesn't seem very reasonable. For example, a player winding up in the wrong tournament game due to TD incompetence, followed by mods having to shuffle people around using force CDs. This caused all three CDs on my profile as I've never actually CDed in a game before. Some others have complained about their CD count being off, so I imagine that they may have suffered the same problem due to the gunboat tournament issues.
3) The profile stats are a difficult to parse mess with performance and reliability stats mixed together.

Suggestions:
1) Provide the mods with a second way to remove players from games, one that does not needlessly add a CD to their profile that they do not deserve.
2) Separate games stats into "Performance Stats" and "Reliability Stats", with the first category being only about Wins/Draws/Defeats/Survives and the latter being only about reliability. This would not only make things look cleaner (like on VDip), but also separate numbers measuring two completely different things.
3) Get rid of the "Resigned" stat. For the sake of the Performance Stats, simply record it as a defeat (regardless of the game ending with the resigned player owning SCs in a PPSC). These are already counted/superseded by Civil Disorders in their Reliability Stats.
4) Fix and/or reset the Civil Disorder stats. First, for players that currently have resigns, their counter should start at that many civil disorders. Second, players that have recently been force CDed by the mods for tournament game reshuffling should get those CDs removed from their profile. Maybe the easiest way to do this would be to just start counting from scratch, but adding resigns into people's CD counts.

Why is there still so much war in the world?
2014 and there are still lots of wars going on, have we not progressed at all as a species, we think we are above animals but we are not because they only kill for food, we kill for all sorts of bullshit excuses. Is that what education has given us, more reasons to kill our fellow homo-sapiens?
