Turkish Opening and Mid-Game Tips
This is the kind of thread where, frankly, I am stuck. I need some ideas on how to survive, thrive and keep chugging forward as Turkey from Spring 1902 to the mid-game (whenever that might be). Thanks in advance for replying.

is a month too soon to move in with a chick?
curious for opinions guys

CommanderByron (801 D(S))

I wouldnt personally, simply because moving in implies shared responsibility and economic ties. The intensity of your relationship may fall off soon and when it does and bills arent being paid or things are going wrong you two are stuck. just saying

Knowing nothing about you besides you've already been engaged once and you're thinking of moving in with someone after 1 month makes me suspect you get too serious too quickly and it ultimately bites you in the ass. Take things slower. What's the rush? You've had 5 dates in 6 days, so living in separate places isn't keeping you apart.
RiddlerRoo - making me +1 bo and not even regretting it.

To clarify, is one of you thinking of moving in with the other or are you two thinking of getting a place together? If you get a place together (I assume it would be a rental) would it be a month to month thing of a year long lease? If one of you moves into the other's place how are you going to counter the power imbalance that dynamic presents?

Moving in together within a month is not necessarily a bad thing, but it generally is, and without knowing more information about your specific situation I cannot think anyone would advise that you do that.

There are some important points that must be clarified before giving any sound advice.

1/ Is her shower any good?
2/ Does she have / can tolerate an Xbox in the front room?
3/ Does she have a realistic understanding of the correct place to store clothing (some women have this bizarre insistence that everything must be put in a cupboard so you have to go to the inconvenience of pulling it out again before you can use it)
4/ Does she have an open door policy regarding her family visiting, and are they all awful?

5% Um, I wouldn't want to move in with a chick, henhouses are generally not very big and the chick's mother might get a bit grumpy
6^ pickup sticks
7& OP question, totally situational. After about two weeks of dating, my wife and I who have now been together for 13.5 years, we were pretty much living in each other's houses full time. We moved to a new place after about 3 months I think, but really, we'd been effectively living together in two houses from 2 weeks in. But I've had prior relationships where we never lived together or took a long time to move in together, and I've seen plenty of long term relationships with huge variance in when and indeed whether people move in together. There are way too many individual circumstances at play to set any kind of rule.

@Wpfieps, why should RandyRoo waste money getting considered advice from a professional. Here he gets free advice that ranges from useful to useless, and we all get to have a laugh.
My free advice is, if you do decide to live with a woman, is Don't say sorry for insignificant trivialities, save it for when you'll need it
Eg the woman bowls in and says you've left the door / window open
You do not say sorry, you say" I wanted some fresh air"
So you only say sorry to her maybe three times a year, when you need it
It's like swearing, if every second word is f**k it loses impact
So when you need to, you can use sorry, and it has value

We should caution Roo.
Whilst keeping a woman and siring offspring with her is rewarding, it is a demanding and expensive hobby for a chap, far cheaper to own an ocean going racing yacht.

I think he should opt for keeping a man instead. Less expensive, quite willing to laze around in his underwear for several weeks, content to be exchanging platitudes over the internet about women.

Security Software
The free period of Norton Security that came with my laptop will end in seven days. My question: what's the best thing to do next? I could stick with Norton for €10 for the first year or I could pick something different.
I'm willing to pay €10, but I don't have a clue what's good and what's bad so if there's something better or equally good for free or the same price, I'd love to hear. I want to know the best option, basically.

Do pseudonyms harm the hobby? An interesting letter in Diplomacy World.
I was reading through the most recent edition of Diplomacy World when I came across the following letter (see the post below). Having only just started to play in proper FTF games, it's not something that had really occurred to me before.

Does using a pseudonym take an important element out of the game? I'd be most interested to hear the opinions of those who are/were involved in FTF scenes, although anyone is welcome to comment.
