himethisisme, Arkaalis and Neryth
himethisisme and Arkaalis are in 4 games together and if you look at their history they always work together. Friends in real life? Or the same person? Also, Neryth is in 3 of their games too, and likewise always an ally. Neryth has only been in 3 games total thus far.

Check out France's navy in this past game and note how it passes through the Mediterranean and helps out the Italians/Turks in Greece.

HA! The Anarchists are organizing! In a group! I wonder who the leader is. I hope everyone can realize how contradictory an organization of Anarchists is.
Xapi (194 D)
18 Feb 09 UTC
It's not.

It's difficult, because anarchist tend to be headstrong people who can't tell the difference between an organization and a hierarchy, like you apparently can't, but it's not contradictory.

Please, don't take your talking points from movie puns. They're there to be funny, not politically accurate.

Anarchism is different from anarchy only in an academic sense. The violence associated with anarchists comes directly from their day-dream, half baked notions of how society can function.

Anarchism is more accurately defined as a belief in a system of no rulers not (as most people mistakenly believe) no rules.

" HA! The Anarchists are organizing! In a group! I wonder who the leader is. I hope everyone can realize how contradictory an organization of Anarchists is."
It's called a community.
Invictus (240 D)
18 Feb 09 UTC
If ever there was a word that was so overused it's lost all meaning, it's "community".
Pandarsenic (1485 D)
18 Feb 09 UTC
Actually, Xapi, if anything I'd think zuzak's reference would go all the way back to G.K. Chesterton's novel The Man Who Was Thursday.

I should start calling Sicarius Sunday. <_<
sean (3490 D(B))

And here it was me thinking the most overused and misunderstood word in the world was "conservative"
Pandarsenic (1485 D)

I always thought it was "Deceptively."

Sicarius (673 D)
18 Feb 09 UTC
Actually that wasnt what UI was reffering to. that is a group for the anarchists that already live in pittsburgh.
I meant in july when hundreds and hundreds of anarchists will come tp pittsburgh frpm around the country and around the globe.


an organization of anarchists is not contradictory in the slightest.
its completely in line with anarchist beliefs.
Invictus (240 D)

"...hundreds and hundreds of anarchists will come tp pittsburgh frpm around the country and around the globe."

well I was thinking of that and I went to hobbytown and the board was like 35 bucks.
and I wasant about to steal it, it was mom and pop run.

I dont get the humor.
S.P.A.O. (655 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
It wasn't funny, it was a serious suggestion.
Like $35 is alot for a game of Diplomacy

zuzak (100 D)

"Please, don't take your talking points from movie puns. They're there to be funny, not politically accurate."

I quoted a movie (and a book) without even knowing about it?

"Anarchism is more accurately defined as a belief in a system of no rulers not (as most people mistakenly believe) no rules."

Yeah, since that's possible and all. I'm only going to follow those rules if I want to, and therefore, they aren't rules.
Sicarius (673 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
not reallt rules. more like a social contract
Sicarius (673 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
whats the humor? I'm really curious now
Invictus (240 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
Oh, it goes on!

Here it is again that made me laugh. I won't spoon feed it to you.

"...hundreds and hundreds of anarchists will come tp pittsburgh frpm around the country and around the globe."
Xapi (194 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
The joke is that you've gathered anarchists from around the world, and you couldn't even make it to the thousands.
Draugnar (0 DX)
19 Feb 09 UTC
The real joke is they "will come TP pittsburgh" (emphasis mine).
Sicarius (673 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
well its not as if every anarchist ever will be there.

probably only like 2% of american anarchists anyway

its not anything important, its basically a party.

Reminds me of hippie music festivals. "WE'RE CHANGIN' THE WORLD MAN! With the power of rock and roll! That'll show the corporations!" Though I have to admit they had great music.

Have fun! =)
Sicarius (673 D)
19 Feb 09 UTC
notice how I said its not anything important.
I'm not under any illusions that a party is going to change anything
and god I hate hippies

"a drug induced rebellion every decade of our time
but the shrooms in your mouth wont free the shackles from your mind
how can you speak out for what is right, when your speeches are all slurred"
Invictus (240 D)

At least we agree on our hatred of hippies.
Sicarius (673 D)
20 Feb 09 UTC
I think we have more common ground than you're aware.
thats why I dont like internet debates. they're so impersonal.

who are you invictus?
what music do you liek? what food do you eat?
what are your favorite books and movies and historical events?
what ar eyour hobbies?
do you have a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or a couple or none?

Uber Win
Say you were playing a PPSC game, the pot is 34, and you win with 20 supply centers. Do you get 20 pionts for that game?
And what was the biggest win ever on this site? It'd be cool to see someone win with 20+ SCs.

hey-- i just got burned by what i feel is a lame loophole in the retreat rule. i had armies side by side in burgundy, ruhr, and kiel, moving east from france. on the same turn, i took munich with ruhr supported by burgundy, and berlin with kiel supported by baltic.

Secret Draw?
Akin to the anonomous hold of the US Senate, wouldn't it be more interesting if we didn't know who was holding up the draw?
I think this could potentially cut down on draws and helps players go for the win without making it totally clear they are going for the win.
