NHL sucks
I honestly challenge anyone who obviously knows nothing about hockey to keep high morale when the refs are literally maliciously trying to throw the game. I've never seen worse reffing in a series, and anyone who doesn't realize these are humans that actually get effected when the ref delibrately tries to blow a series against your team, should realize that it makes your team feel like they are skating though glue.

How can I become a crappier person
I have recently been told that I am funny, kinda weird, a stalker, spammy, and an artistic twat. Do you fellows at WebDiplomacy observe these traits about me? How can I become the worst me possible? What tips and advice can you offer? How can I become a shit human? This is a serious thread and I want to become even worse than I am.

You discover a map to buried treasure
There is a catch. While visiting neighors you find the map in the hands of their infant son. The treasure is likely real as youd heard of the map and its fabled promise. The problem is not just that a child is holding the map- its that the family desperately would need the treasure to pay off their debts or they may end up on the streets starving. However you also know the babys mother and father gamble, drink and are rather unsavory. What do you do?

Steal the child and bring him on a treasure-hunting adventure. It's not an opportunity children get every day.

Find the treasure and give them half, but set up an interest pay out fund so that if they DO waste their money, you can provide them with about 60K yearly, plus a college fund for the kid

Just look at the X on the map and give it back to the infant. No one cares which path you take to get to the X. They always make it seem like you have to follow the dotted line to the X!
JamesYanik (548 D)

unless it's the only *safe* path -.-
JamesYanik (548 D)

and there might be clues along the way that you need to know once you get to X

The treasure is not actually real -- you heard of it's "fabled" promise... you laughed and went out to a movie.

I like the mod advice.

Hauta: Clearly you don't know how to read a treasure map. Why do you think a treasure map would be to scale?

Wrap the baby in a special blanket and leave him in the house. Take the map and find the treasure. some time later the entire family succumbs to smallpox. what a tragedy, so you use your new found wealth to open a community center in their name.

Find the treasure, take a 10% commission, (or 20%?), put the rest in a fund to help the child with myself as the only one with access to the account.

Also I'm not a 100% cruel person. I opened a community center in their name! Complete with a fully functioning vaccination clinic and a lots of weaving classes to help people better understand blanket weaving on a more artistic level.... because if there's one thing history teaches us, genocide is always cooler if the fabric is fashionable.

Diplomacy: Is Germany Too Weak?
I noticed that Germany is considerably weaker in Diplomacy than it's historical counterpart. In game, Germany can very easily be knocked out by England and France. However, historically Germany was able to fight competently on three separate fronts. Does anybody feel that Germany is a little misrepresented in game?

Coup in North Korea
I was trying to think why Trump would engage in such brinksmanship with North Korea. Sure, it could be just more inexperience, etc, but then I was thinking that maybe the goal is to scare the generals there so much that someone bumps off the Great Leader. Then I started thinking, that's probably why he rubbed out his half-brother recently.

"rolling dices"?
I just won a 1v1 against CptMike, however he was getting really angry at me, saying he does not want me to join any more games that he has created, accusing me of "rolling dices". What happened according to me is that I lured him into trying for Munich in Autumn 01, then bouncing him out of there and basically leaving him with only one build.
