What is the best way to reduce the amount of disinformation?
Call it fake news or whatever you want, but the dissemination of factually incorrect statements is a disservice to the electorate. We all like the first amendment and free speech, but once you have enough viewers/followers etc, should you be held to a higher standard of accuracy?

Ivanka Trump perfume
Yeah, I hear that it's number 1 on Amazon. But are the orders real? Are individuals buying it, or are there bulk orders from the Russians coming in? -- orders that will never be delivered (and even if they were, it takes only pennies to make perfume in China).

What is the best way to refresh game pages?
a simple browser refresh has the added problem of reposting the last message you sent over and over

also what is the point of 5 minute games if it takes 3 minutes for the server to actually change the page contents after orders have been processed.

Reliability Rating?
Why do people make games with RR of like 25% or even 50%? Do you really want someone in a game who misses 75% of their moves, or even 50%? I don't know what the usual reliability ratings are of players, but I'd hope they are basically all greater than 80%.

Question for Trump Supporters
This is a serious question for those of you who are supporting Trump. Back in January 2016, Trump said, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." And it certainly looks that way from the outside. So I'm curious...what things would Trump to do lose your support?

If you're not a Trump supporter, please refrain from telling the Trump supporters who respond about why they are wrong.

Where, where could they even do such a thing?

ODC @ PDET 2017: Reserves Wanted
We need a few reserves to potentially take up positions where players cannot continue. Coming in as a reserve qualifies you for later rounds. Looking for reliable players, no NMRs and no surrendering. If you play predominately through mobile, the interface is not friendly and maybe not for you. http://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=797&t=54813

Fall of American Empire - Liberals vs Conservatives
Looking for a good team game, 5 on 5 (because Classic with 7 players just doesn't work well for this). Figure Liberals vs Conservatives could be fun. Sign up, and I'll PM a password to all of you.

Please sign up consistent with your allegiances - will be more fun that way. The idea here is 5 on 5, wherever you end up, you ally with your team and try to beat the other 5. First to eliminate the other 5 draws with the rest.
slypups (1889 D)

We can negotiate phases lengths. I'm thinking DSS, full press, and non-anon so you can identify your teammates easily.

The other map choice good for 5 on 5 teams is Modern Diplomacy II. None of the other maps work for two teams. But with the Liberal v Conservative theme, I thought Fall of the American Empire would be more appropriate - just the discussion around who is taking DC could be amusing, or imagine conservatives dominating the west coast or liberals flooding the south - see, amusing.

Can I suggest that y'all make this unranked? Beyond the fact that a team game is a special rules game, you also introduce a scenario where a person has split motivations between trying to survive and trying to help the team, which is problematic.

We're full up, and sure missing some active voices, but we can't force them to play if they don't want to do so. I'll set up the game unranked as suggested since it is special rules. Those that signed up, look for a PM soon. I'm going with a 48 hour cycle to give time for proper trash talking.

For anyone wanting to observe the cross-talk:

Am I rebellious?
People often seem to think of me as rebelling against a status quo, but I see that differently. I do what I can to follow the path that I perceive to be right and this path happens to lead away from where most paths lead. I happen to cross boundaries, breaking unwritten rules as I go. Rebellion, to me, is about removing and destroying things you disagree with. I don't destroy, I just follow my own rules without seeking conflict. Discuss..
