Official Announcement
Dear webDippers,
Draugnar and I are proud to announce that we managed to hack the site, ban the current regime and turned some enlightened members into mods.
We are looking into the cases of other previously banned players to see which were banned unjustly. We're not making any major policy changes, but we're ending the previous tyranny.
Enjoy your stay!

2015 MLB Preview and Predictions
It's that time of year again. Buy yourself some peanuts, some crackerjacks...maybe some syringes and performance-enhancing drugs, and get ready for another baseball season! My predictions for the standings, 10 playoff teams, playoff picks, World Series winner and then 10 predictions for the season are below...add your own. :)

The Greatest People in History Tournament
Now that nominations are in, it is time to decide who really was the greatest person form all of History. Will Ghengis Khan rise to conquer the bracket? Will Tolkien or the Beatles be the first Nominees to win two tournaments? Will Aristotle be proved wrong in his prediction that he will win? Or will a Wild Card take the whole tournament? Only one way to find out.

UK F2F Game
Would anyone be interested in a F2F game in England, sometime in the weeks following the 23rd of March?

Some of the mods were discussing trying to set one up, but obviously we'd need to know if there's enough interest. Where exactly it would be would depend on what's convenient for the people who express interest (and what locations turn out to be possible).

Extraneous Games
Is there a way to hide or remove games that I have been defeated in under the My Games column? It's kind of annoying to have games that you can't affect show up in my screen, and being reminded of a defeat every time I log on isn't fun, either.

Whatever happened to Draugnar?
Back when I used to be really active on this site, Draugnar was one of the most... distinctive personalities in the forum, despite the fact that I don't think I ever saw his points total at anything other than 100 for any period of time (which made a few people assume he was an entry-level noob, lol). Then he got banned, along with draugnar's_ghost, draugnar's_zombie, etc. Is he back under a different name? Is he gone? Sure he was kind of a douche, but man did he know how to troll.

@y2k: I thought you said he got "banned for urinals" lol. I'm glad I read it twice.

Although, to be fair, if anyone could be banned for urinals, it would be draug.

I still miss him.
krellin (80 DX)
26 Mar 15 UTC
Well, to be fair, he did try to urinate on the site, so to speak.

So, in a deep sense, he did get banned for urinals. The man had some serious piss-off talent, gotta give him that.

Octavious (2802 D)

According to jmo, no. I can't for the life of me understand why, however. I was under the impression this was going to be a genuine inter-site tournament that just happened to be hosted on webDip, rather than a webDip tournament with invites sent to a deserving few from other sites.

It's not as if it would be difficult to give the likes of Draug or Maple a temporary account for the tournament, nor would it be difficult to silence them in the forums whilst they were here. I have no idea what the problem is.
Mapu (362 D)

This is an ingenious idea by Octavious, unfortunately phrased in a passive aggressive way. I hope they listen anyway.

The tournament director has power over games here that he doesn't have at other sites, so games will be played here. As a result, players banned from vDip or PlayDip or Bounced or any other site are welcome. If it becomes a repeated tournament, it may be hosted somewhere else in the future, and then webDip's banned players can play and that site's banned players can't. Banning means losing the privilege to play on this site, and the tournament doesn't supersede that.

jmo1121109 (3812 D)
27 Mar 15 UTC
It's rather simple to understand Octavious. We do not ban people unless we come to the determination that they have no regard for the rules or the site. This is a free site, the only thing we ask is people follow a few rules and respect other members. We will not do anything to accommodate people who will not abide by those rules.

This, I don't believe, is about unbanning draug. It's about letting him participate in a tournament as a representative of another site.

Has he even expressed interest or are we just debating a cause just for the sake of it?
ssorenn (0 DX)

I am not advocating for unbanning draug, to be clear. The powers that be, determined that this was the appropriate action to take ,and I'm not trying to change that. Letting him play in a cross site tournament and a representative of another site, to me is something different.
Mapu (362 D)

Just for the sake of it. He said he has no interest.

Ah, well krellin, I work shifts at both my morning and night jobs on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I'd love to get a drink with you, more than love to actually. But if you are getting here on a Thursday and will be gone before Sunday, I'm afraid I won't be able to unless you are willing to meet me at like 11pm - which for New Orleans is never out of the question, as long as you're up for it.

Either way I'd love to give you the local scoop on whatever you're looking to do. PM me!
