Where it went wrong
I thought I remember a proposed series called "Where it went wrong" or something like that.

Did no one have a game they wanted dissected? Because I wouldn't mind submitting some of my gunboat play to criticism.

Welcome back party!
Friends,

I've been away for the last six months, and I thought I'd throw myself a little welcome back bash.

Constitutional Rights for Embryonic Americans?
In the GOP debate last Thursday, unsurprisingly, abortion was a point of discussion amongst candidates. Obviously they were all pro-life to some extent or another, but Mike Huckabee went so far as to say that abortion was already illegal, because unborn children have the rights to equal protection under the law and due process. Right from conception, they have constitutional rights, he argues.

Regardless of your position on abortion, is this a valid argument?

I would love a full slate of participants and have groups assigned by next week and shoot for a start date of a week from today. Entirely speculative at this point though.

Nescio, 36 hour phases are more or less the "default" game length here and have proven to be the most popular. Not too short that you're scrambling to write orders, but long enough so that a game isn't rushed.

Thanks Ogion. Given that we're seeing a few players sign up who aren't ranked in August, we can just use most recent available.

many thanks to 2WL for helping run this gunboat tournament this year. while the format is a little less stringent and involved than last year, I think there is an importance in both keeping tournaments in their calendar year and then the importance in simplicity.

based on the amount of people we had so interested in previous friends I'm excited to see this Tournament happen.

I need help with a research paper!
It's due tomorrow night and I have to do a 12-15 page paper on how the internet of things and the third industrial revolution will affect society and more importantly the work force and employment.

I'm up to around 10 pages and I have no idea what to write for the last 2.
And no, increasing the font size of each period isn't allowed.

Risk taking
http://youtu.be/vBX-KulgJ1o
Great video, but the first thing i think of is relationships, (and given that i was recently dumped, this is no surprise) Naturally you could also apply this to diplomacy; but the probabilities get a little messed up, and in Dip not taking a bet means taking a different course, which may also be risky.
