And THIS is why..
...All you whiny thought police wannabees that get so freaking uptight about this word or that are the fodder for my laughter. Because I know that the words that get your panties in a bunch only have the meaning and power that you give them.

Seriously -- think on this...as you read this:

Cutting a support move for your own unit
I'm sure you cannot cut support move for your own unit by hitting the unit that is supporting your other unit. However if another player is supporting the move of your unit would hitting the unit of the other player that is supporting yours cut the support for your own unit.

A quick fix for accessing messages.
I posted a message before asking how to access older PMs and got the answer that there isn't a direct link. However, unless I misunderstand something http://webdiplomacy.net/index.php?notices=on points to your notices page. Bookmark that and viola! (Right?)

Is it okay to ask for help from outside a game?
I would really appreciate some outside help with games I'm playing, kind of like tutoring, and I don't want to ask for help if you feel that it's unfair or whatever. I'm new around here, but enjoying the experience. I haven't played in -cough, cough- years and am glad I found this place. Thanks.

@Braillard - " If every life is worth the same, then every opinion also is, isn't it? "

No. The life has the equal worth by virtue of being alive. What the life produces, be it shit from the ass or shit from the mind, has different worth amongst different individuals. The brain surgeon's life is worth exactly the same as the drunken scum in a wige beater living on welfare. But their contribution to society has a very different worth. Likewise, not all opinions are equal.

I've insulted you, you just didn't take offense. The insult does not require the victim to take offense to be an insult, If I kick your ass not realizing your are a masochist and you enjoy it, that doesn't make my assault any less an assault. It just means you found it pleasurable and so my desired result was not fulfilled,

So, more to the point, it's true, Draugnar, that there's an essentially equal, intrinsic value in each human life, but that's the only value. If you were on a sinking ship, you'd be happier if the one guy with survival skills sufficient to save the dozen people on your life raft was on board and didn't hit his head and drown. That's the only point with the AIDS researcher thing: if their deaths sets back research into the disease and contributes to a bunch of additional deaths, then that's a tragedy above and beyond the simple fact that hundreds of people died in a plane crash. So it's not that their lives were more valuable, just that there might be other deaths now because of their passing,

Second sentence: "...but that's *not* the only value." Gah, typing on an iPad sucks...

Agreed. I wasn't arguing differently. I was just pointing out that equal value to life does not mean equal value to the opinion of the individual.

Who said you insulted me? I was talking about name calling and insulting anyone at all. What do you get out of it, other than hate, other than pride? It's not edifying, it's not necessary, and being free to do it is no good reason to. Why insult when you can encourage?
