What I've Been Saying About Gaza:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/israel-iron-dome-could-prolong-195600244.html Main quote inside, but essentially--the Iron Dome, which has (thankfully) stopped hundreds of rocket attacks in just a few days now, has taken all pressure off Netanyahu to negotiate, while Hamas arguably stands to gain more from prolonging the conflict--ie, shooting rockets knowing they'll be intercepted and reprisals will come--than by making peace. So, settle in, boys and girls...

Babak wanted to say "Hi" to WebDip

Babak asked me to say "Hi" to webdip on facebook. He is doing well, has a 6 month old baby, and just moved to a new country, but once things settle down, he might join us again.
So in the mean time, shape up your diplomatic and tactical skils and let's see who else we can drag back. :)

Please give Babak my regards. I'm glad to hear he is well. I was just thinking of him the other day while setting up the GR Challenge.

Ivo is not on Facebook. I would have to use executive webdip powers and email him specifically. Actually, there was a plan that the mods had a while back about emailing the top 100 GR players of all time and host a "Veteran top GR" tournament of some sort, but it never got off the ground partly because it was complicated and time intensive. To make it simpler and easier to do, maybe we should sponsor 3-4 "top 100 GR of all time" games by emailing them. And to make it easier still, let's make them WTA ANON 36-48 hours phases.
Those games would be very fun to watch and might bring back some of the best players this site has ever seen.

Great idea, Zultar.

Here's a list of top 100 all-time that aren't on the active list (by overall GR as WTA was only introduced at some point).

I tried something like that for the Masters 2013 while setting it up. Ivo was one of the only ones who actually did come back. Though, I was fairly close to getting The Master Gamer back here.

what is the average age of webdiplomacy players?

Is there a statistic? I want to know. In a game I felt I was playing with the stubbornness of a child. He/she wanted ALL his way. All the negotiation was "this is mine mine mine". He/she couldn't see the repercussions of a bad decision because he/she wanted the gratification of now.

Seriously, knowing the age of a person before starting a game or a negotiation can help a lot. Psychological speaking.

How to join a new game?

I'm a new player - new to this site. I am trying to get into a new game. When I press on 'New' I see a list of new games. However, some are 'padlocked' and require passwords. How do I get into those? Or can I only play games without padlocks?

Lib Dems have gone early while Cameron is on the defensive after his re-shuffle. Because of the current coalition of Tories/Liberals there will be a new dynamic to the elections, also the rise of UKIP is a bit of an unknown factor.

Best free webdesign software

I'm very likely going to design another website, but unlike last time, this isn't for school or something, so I can use all the tools I want to make my job easier. What software would you recommend? There's quite a lot to choose from and I don't want to try them all, nor spend extra hours because I'm missing some very useful features...

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.
