GoT Variant?
I recently started watching Game of Thrones, and as you can imagine it reminded me of this wretched game quite a bit. Has anyone thought of making a variant based on Westeros? Does one already exist?

Bernie Sanders kicked out of hippie commune for laziness
http://freebeacon.com/politics/bernie-sanders-asked-leave-hippie-commune/

Raises the question in my mind of what will be done (if anything) with people who refuse to work in the socialist society Bernie and his supporters wish to impose. Forced labor camps? Expulsion from the country? Revocation of their EBT card and Section 8 subsidies? Or nothing?

The Trump Effect
Recently I've been hearing several left leaning souls start talking about the likelihood of them voting Trump now that the Bern has been all but extinguished. What I am curious about is why. What is it about Trump that makes him the lesser of two evils?

Just a basic question!
What does voting to 'Cancel' mean? what do you cancel when you vote for it?
And, how does Pause work? when you pause, how do you resume the game? is it paused for a specific amount of time or do you vote to un-pause later?

First Time Prom.
Help me WebDip, you're my only hope.

Seriously, though, I am a male junior, and found out today that the person on my mind has me on hers. Prom is in 2 weeks. I have not asked her, and fear that the window has shut on this opportunity. Even if I did go (all my buddies want me to go) I would have no idea what to do, what to say, or where to go.

To clarify: when I say "do the things you want to do," maybe you decide you actually don't want to do prom night, and you'd rather do something else. That's fine, do that. Just don't sit in "I want to do this but I'm going to make up reasons not to do it" limbo. That's the worst.

Go! Ask the girl out ASAP. Even if it's a shit time (and if you're with your friends you can at least people watch and crack jokes) it's worth it to have the experience. You'll regret not going if you don't go and at least have the story to recount.

"Nice classism, champagne socialist"

Cute plagiarized drawing. But last I checked Lenin wore a tie and a vest, not the hipster uniform of black jeans and flannel. As Lenin (and the Bolsheviki) were staunch prohibitionists have fun calling them champagne socialists, poser.

You're saying dressing neatly is inherently upper class but accusing others of classism?
Octavious (2802 D)
19 Apr 16 UTC
Lenin has been immaculately dressed for nearly a century now, although he could perhaps have a more varied wardrobe.

Clearly nothing remotely class specific about dressing appropriately. Slightly less comfortable with the idea of lying to your parents to get a new suit, though. Must have something to do with all that property is theft nonsense impacting morality.

"Slightly less comfortable with the idea of lying to your parents to get a new suit, though."

That's weirdly priggish coming from a diplomacy hobbyist. I'm sure of all things one could lie to parents about on the occasion of prom, having a date when you do not would be the least offensive.
And yet again I still don't understand how I keep getting surprised by this forum... you'd have thought I expected it by now especially after all the stuff CM posted, or even draug

"That's weirdly priggish coming from a diplomacy hobbyist"

Is it? I have always found diplomacy to be one of the most honest and open of hobbies. We lie with advanced warning and an agreement that it's acceptable. Outside of the game I find that most of the people here value honesty extremely highly, which is why cheats like wjessop are so demonized.

"Outside of the game I find that most of the people here value honesty extremely highly"

If true then I find your admiration for the player whose name begins with D to be fascinating and contrary to expectations. But then again your positions on most things are sort of a perpetual moving target, so this sudden righteousness shouldn't really be that surprising.

I suppose to a man whose views tend to remain stubbornly fixed regardless of the quantity of evidence stacked against them, virtually everyone must look somewhat fickle.

Besides which the letter D cannot be spoken here lest it invoke a legal retaliation from Sesame Street who own the copyright.

Have you read More's Utopia? It was written 500 years ago this year. Maybe give it a look.

Thucydides (864 D(B))

Well then you'd know that most our differentiation in what we wear is nothing more than a cheap class or status signifier, and any just society would rid itself of such a thing. Not only should people be able to dress how they want, but people should not have ideas about being dressed "better" than someone else or than how they dressed yesterday. You embrace both of these or you embrace neither.

"Have you read More's Utopia? It was written 500 years ago this year. Maybe give it a look."

Was it written before or after he burned heretics at the stake?

If the choice was between being burned at the stake or living in Thucy's utopia where people can dress however they wish as long as they all wish the same thing, I think I'd take my chances with the stake.

Hello guys, I´m intending to do a Modern Diplomacy Game with 5 teams. 10 players, but without any communications inside de game. The only way to communication is talking to this real person by email, whatsapp, etc.
But to have equation, balance, one should have just another guy in his team. Not a 3 person team. This will work? ANyone want to participate?
