The poop floor
As I was cleaning my litterbox, I discovered I sat in a pile of cat shit. I got it all over my shorts. When I checked if it did happen, I got it all over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell like cat shit.

Please advise.

french speaking replacement needed
as i will be absent for the next week and the last week of june and i'm only in one active game, i thought that i might as well look for a replacement player. it's a "speak french only" game though, so you'd have to understand at least a little bit of french.

Shootings and break-ins
So, my brother was there at the SPU school shooting today. Quite literally there... Scared the shit out of me when he wouldn't answer his freaking phone. Either way he's a-ok and that's what matters. My home also got broken into last night.... It's time to get a gun. For those that have one, suggestions?

In non winner-take-all game, can you solo with less than ALL the centers?
I want the solo win (and will have a majority of SCs soon). if I accept the draw once i get the majority, doesnt that mean i lose my solo? But do i really need to hold every single center to get the solo? How do you 'resign' ...so my opponents don't have to sit through the process that could take years?

Ethics of Diplomacy
So in general, I suppose most people here would say you can, and, possibly, should do anything within the rules to increase their chance at winning.

How about, for example, pretending to be terminal, though? Is that still fine?

Best Of?
I've been getting into the game a lot more recently and was wondering if there was any sort of listing of great or best games of Diplomacy. Games with great strategy, alliances, backstabs, drama, that kind of stuff.

In lue of that post your favorite or best games here. I'm up for reading some good stories.

I think this one might take the prize: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=34872
You can always identify a live game by the solo due to late-game NMRs...
Maniac (189 D(B))

I think the first response takes the prize - player down to one unit, at various times all his home SCs have been taken, and still he solos, that's some player.
Octavious (2802 D)

It was only a gunboat though. A fine example of why one should never quit, and an impressive display of skill from the winner, but not so much in terms of alliances and stabbing drama.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
03 Jun 14 UTC
On the other hand, if one never quits, he wouldn't have gotten the solo I'd say.

GOAT game

here's the gunGOAT imo: gameID=137115
Oh man I forgot about Czech's comeback W though. That shit was fantastic at the time, never mind, new gunGOAT imo
I saw this one nominated by someone else: gameID=93738
tvrocks (388 D)

I think Czechs win was mainly the result of bad play from his opponents...
Please,

gameID=93086

gameID=60765

The second one would have easily gone on as long as the first has, were it not for some miscommunication that led to the draw.

gameID=93738 nominated above is epic, but if Italy had taken Mun, St P and Spain whilst getting the whole board to convoy would he set himself up for a guaranteed solo? No criticism intended, i would have convoyed for the fun of it.

This is my favourite of those I played. Unfortunately, the game is old, so you cannot see the units moving. Here is the story:
Germany was a multi, I knew it, I have been watching him. (not the one listed, he left and Germany was taken over in the end). So, Germany expands like crazy, Russia, England and Italy being his subservant friends (multis?), and I join the game in place of a dropped out Italy. My home country is gone to Germany, but I have some units in the Balkans. France is OK, he is passive, but at least not multi-pawn to Germany. Turkey is down to 1 center. I made a grand alliance with Turkey. At that spring, Germany has 18 or 19 centers. But I sneak-attack him in Serbia (he was confident, and did not realize Italy was taken over) Note the name of the game: Serbia's revenge ;)
So Germany is taken by surprise, and he finishes the year with 17 centers. We have lots of skirmishes, and Germany is at 17 for two or three years. Little by little, my ally Turkey starts to grow. We eventually overpower Germany, he leaves. I help Turkey to win for the kick of it.

Drinking healthy
I'm quite a balanced eater, so it's not exactly vital, but apart from water, it seems like almost every drink is unhealthy for your body or teeth in some way. Of course, I could just make sure I vary enough, and I do, but I still think it's good to know what's actually healthy rather than "not that bad".

I absolutely don't have to worry about too much calories, btw. I'm talking about the other stuff.
