What is happening with this site???
Some 2 years ago when I joined Webdiplomacy you could play 3 games in a row during one night. Now, you cant get players for even one game. Everyone is just typing on forum. Maybe if we type about it, we can overcome this problem somehow?! Play people, play.

abge's Craft Corner
My gf and I made a small table. Nothing intense; the pieces were pre-cut, we just picked what we liked and assembled and painted it. I'm pretty sure it ended up being more expensive than just buying one, but it was a fun project. http://tinyurl.com/lm89ydg

Anyone else have a fun project they're working on they'd like to share?

Article on press
http://www.diplom.org/Zine/F2012M/Johnston/discuss.htm

An article describing how press ties into the strategy of a high-level player. (I played with this guy years ago on Bounced. With all due respect to THM, MM, Ebay, VI, etc, he's still the best opponent I've ever faced).

Open CD Positions
We have a ton of open CD positions tonight. Take one, take two, take ten. Take them all if you'd like. The best (subjectively, of course) positions are those near the top but the ones at the bottom are all still in contention in their respective games. If a game is broken, send me a PM.

Putin Takes Issue with US Airstrikes vs. ISIS Sans "UN Mandate"

Because of course Putin ALWAYS waits for a UN mandate before taking military action himself, right?

You're just showing your ignorance when it comes to international law post-WWII. It's not my job to teach you.

Even if all you say about the islands in your extremely uncharitable paragraph is true, it misses the point. America's involvement in WWII was not a war of aggression. And the islands were transferred to American jurisdiction after the war by treaty. Totally separate state of affairs than what's going on in Ukraine right now.


Me thinking you're an idiot is kind of proving right, if you think Alaska and Hawaii were "annexed" after WWII. They were already under American jurisdiction.

You're just showing your ignorance when it comes to international law pre-WWII. It's not my job to teach you.

The United States occupied the islands by force of arms in an armed conflict against the wishes of the previous administrator and without consulting the natives. I said "you could make a case" that the territory was annexed and here you have it. Plus, pre-World War transfers of land after wars of aggression always required (unequal) treaty ratification of said transfer. If an invading power failed to force the previous administrator to sign a treaty (like with the U. K. over the Malvinas), then the land de jure never changed jurisdiction. Saying that the existence of a treaty ending a war proves the war wasn't a war of aggression proves great ignorance on your part. (The islands, by the way, are neither mentioned in the Japanese instrument of surrender nor in the referenced Potsdam and Cairo Declarations. They were transferred by United Nations Security Council Resolution 21 on 2 April 1947, years before Japan entered the UN and two years after the United States was already administering the islands.) Also, I didn't say anything about Ukraine.

"They were already under American jurisdiction" per the restrictions of the United Nations regarding Non-Self-Governing Territories. The United States violated these restrictions by fully annexing the territories after holding a referendum which failed to include independence as an option.

You really just don't know what "annexed" means.

"the territory was annexed" should have been
'the territory was annexed in a war of aggression'

annex (verb)
4 : to incorporate (a country or other territory) within the domain of a state
– Merriam-Webster

I was actually thinking of using 'incorporate', but the term has a technical meaning when it comes to U. S. territories.
