All this game does is make me angry
The interpersonal aspect of this game is just so frustrating. My expectations for how this game is played is completely thrown out the window.

Brand new game with full disclosure (A Midsummer's Eve)
I have just created a brand new game, password protected, non-anon and full press. If still permitted, I would like to play this game with someone whom I know in real life. This player is Doug7878 who is my Dad.
The password is the word "agree," entirely in lowercase.

CDs and the collapse of empires
Just wanted to observe how frustrating it is when a player becomes less committed to the game when they look to be in trouble. What can possibly be done to stop this ruining end games for everyone else?

(Also, someone (ghug?) mentioned not long ago a game where Germany recovered from 2 centres to solo. I can't find it again, can someone point me in the right direction?)

The Deathcount of Wall Street
I was thinking of doing some research on how many people died by Wall Street practices (through sucking companies out causing unemployment, profiting from and at the cost of pension funds ruining people's pensions, etc, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea of where to start and how to go about this?

Gunboat Etiquette
After several games of anon gunboat coming and going with not enough players, I finally had one start today. It was my first time, I've never played anon gunboat before. Well, I was Russia and in the first turn England, Germany and italy NMRd. Then England and Germany went CD and Italy finally started making moves.

Why so many gunboat games ?
I don't really have a problem with gunboat but I thought this game was designed for people to talk between themselves and scheme and form alliances in advance and fool your allies telling them you will, for example, support them somewhere but end up attacking them instead. For a few weeks I've seen only gunboat (live games)

Nope, it will be known for eternity that, instead of any of the great causes, we decided to donate to webDip.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
17 Jul 15 UTC
Kestas and I have debated about whether or not the icon expired after a year or some X amount of time, but we have not settled on it. We are solvent for a while yet, so we are not in a rush to decide, but if we need money for some reasons, we will announce it on the forum first and ask for donations. That has always worked out pretty well.

Thanks for thinking of donating again though. Kestas and I really appreciated that.

I have a question. What does one need to pay to move to Silver? To Gold? A PM would suffice unless it can be public knowledge.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
17 Jul 15 UTC
Kestas made the decision not to make that public. Other than me, I don't think even the mods know the exact cutoff (or at least I don't remember telling them). Generally though, donations over $1000 would net you gold. :)

All I know is that when I donated a couple of hot Russian brides, I went straight to Gold.

I just kept donating until I got to gold. It's a pretty great system for increasing donations.

As to the OP, badges should be tied to inflation
Gold will slowly turn to silver and finally bronze over time. This is probably the most critical update ATC should be working on.

The badges should be yearly. Then they have meaning.

steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Jul 15 UTC
You could keep track of what someone donated and reduce that amount with 2% per year to name a random number and if the amount comes below the cutoff, gold becomes silver and silver becomes bronze.

Basically what abge said but yeah :-)
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Or less work, increase the cutoffs with ~2% per year.

I think badges should be permanent: the gift that was appreciated (and publicly noted) is not as valuable or appreciated a year later???

Perhaps add another line on the profile page that places a person's donations into a percentage just as his Dip points are. Or a bar that fills as he/she slowly approaches the next level of giving. Theatre and museums use terms like Angel, Guardian, Donor, etc. Web Dip could do something similar.
