Rape and murder in India
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31698154

How can a human being be so twisted in their mind that they would calmly argue that a woman who was kidnapped, gang-raped, and murdered, was the one to blame for her fate?

LAPD Officer Shoots and Kills Homeless Man
http://news.yahoo.com/video-shows-los-angeles-police-shooting-homeless-man-060031475.html The video's already generating controversy (you can watch the unedited version on YouTube, I'll post it, they had to edit it for broadcast) so, yeah...what's everyone's opinion on this incident?

Is the game losing its way? (Takes a while to get to the subject)
I was reading about Henry Kissinger last October when I read that he was a fan of a game called Diplomacy. Naturally I was curious, so I looked this game up. No exaggeration, I haven't stopped playing since October. I also found a site: diplomacy-archive.com
It is from there that I learned the secrets and the tricks of the game and where I read many articles written by players of the game DECADES AGO.

If I read that sentence correctly, the study population "was largely made up of Caucasian and Middle Eastern men".

Sooo useless then?
Octavious (2701 D)
03 Mar 15 UTC
Useless in what sense?
That it's not actually the average size.
It's not even the average British size, or average European size. It's an (apparently random) selection of populations.

Had I selected Hungarians and Vietnamese, and calculated an average from that, what informational value does that have?

Pretty useful if you were half Hungarian half Vietnamese.

I dare say they chose Caucasian and Middle East because there is damn little difference between them. You don't go to Syria and tower over everyone like you do when you visit Taiwan.

Strangely enough it's the sort of discussion the women who work in my office love taking part in. I was also rather hoping for a small discussion on the serious point at the start. Alas, no one else did.
Octavious (2701 D)

And by "taking part" I mean "starting", and keeping going for far longer than you could ever imagine possible. Honestly, Zultar, sometimes I think people on this site don't actually know any women.

Most women I know seem to be coworkers of Oct's. Where was the serious point of your discussion?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
03 Mar 15 UTC
I avoid finalizing, unless I'm making a point of not wanting to negotiate any longer. I will often not save orders because I find two red !! give me a much greater sense of urgency to come back to the game and write more press than a gray checkmark.

Newbie Question
In the Fall of the first year, I convoyed my army from Yorkshire to Norway, using a fleet that was already in the North Sea. It is now the Build phase, but my unit is not in Norway and I'm not being offered a build option for controlling Norway. Did I do something wrong?

Do you play any other awesome board games?
So Diplomacy is doubtlessly a GREAT game - so simple yet so complete. The chess of our times, so on, so on...
But, there are many other good board games. Are there any games you can recommend?
I personally love Twilight Struggle and Through the Ages, while hate Risk.

basic gunboat strategy
does anyone have an article or whatever on various gunboat strategies for all 7 countries say from spring 1901-autumn 1902? after that, im assuming the board will be unique enough to warrant a unique strategy but i want to know about different opening options in the beginning of the game. thanks!
