Log on problems
On my other PC I can log in, but every time I click on a game or one of the links up top it logs me out and says Welcome, Guest. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

What McCain said during the last debate...
About 25 minutes into the debate McCain (in reference to townhall meetings) said, "The way Barry Goldwater and Jack Kennedy agreed to do before the intervention (touches nose & corrects himself)... the tragedy at Dallas."

To pause or not to pause... that is the question
In one of my games, a user requested to pause the game as he was not able to enter moves. I have chosen to accept, but the thought of not accepting crossed my mind (one reason being that the player is in no way bound by their pledge to start it again at a certain time).

Some play once told me that the spirit of the game was to back stab people. Thoughts?
I think, reputation is key since many players end up playing with each again.

Oh that was me. Lol.
You're right about the rep thing... sort of. Most people aren't anal about remembering the stabs though; it is expected that everyone on this site is a dirty liar.

I don't think anyone can or should hold a well timed stab against you - it's the petty one SC ones that are not necessarily well thought out that will annoy people if they come across you again.

I would rather have a reputation for being a shrewd player than a reputation for being a ridiculously loyal ally.

Your alliances and enemies in-game should be determined by circumstance, not history!
figlesquidge (2131 D)
17 Oct 08 UTC
I do not think the spirit of the game is to stab, the spirit is to win. You may have to stab, but someone who stabs madly and wildly will not win or make future alliances. Still, you should definately not count it out!

Stabbing is one of the defining aspects of Diplomacy.
No one minds if you stab. They stab others too. You can't mind if someone stabs you if you go around stabbing yourself.
PirateJack (400 D)

Not quite right. Some people will still hold it against you even if the stab was 'perfect'. But then again, some people take games like personally.

They are taking Diplomacy too seriously then. That's why they lose more often: they always remember that 'he stabbed me' and will forgo very good alliances and strategies.

brave is right ...its the petty or premature ones that annoy and that you remember particularly if they are consistantly bad...a good rep might be that your a bad one to stuff up on

When I said it was the spirit of the game to Emperor Tapia, what I meant was that he was not trying his best to win, and should, which would require stabbing me or his other ally, one or the other. He did neither, which means, yes I will trust his words in other games, but I will also know that he could be exploited. So it's a trade-off, it's up to you Tapia.

Looking at some of the Winner takes all games, it appears that the stated restriction about >100 points to join doesn't apply. Does anyone know why? (Possibly this was in a previous post I missed)

End of Game Statements. Brief explanation?
I read of the existence of EOG statements in some other post, but - not having finished a game yet - I do not exactly know what this means (who does it? What is the typical content of it? Etc...)

Anybody would like to explain? Thanks!

3rd Presidential Debate: Best Moment ?
For me, the best moment was when McCain asked Obama how much his fine on Businesses ('Joe the Plumber') is if they didn't provide healthcare. He really hammered Obama on it. And Obama replied "zero, I provide an exception for small businesses." McCain was just floored, stunned, and looked like a dear in the headlights, a shocked/blank expression for a full minute.
