The moment I answer your post, we are directly connected, so I won't do that.

DAMN!

So has anyone ever heard of the theory? it's essentially that you are indirectly in contact with everyone in the world. so your friend has a friend, who has a friend, (repeat 6 times). so basically you indirectly know everyone on the planet, you just need to be introduced to them.

What about isolated Amazon tribes or Pacific islanders?
jman777 (407 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
I've actually wondered that myself, but there is most likely SOMEONE who is in contact with them, which (even though it may be more than 6 degrees) means that you most likely are indirectly in contact with them.

I know for a fact that I am only 2 degrees from the Pope.
jbalcorn (429 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Which mean everyone reading this post is at most 3 degrees from the Pope.

How about trying to make our way across two people on this site through *real life* connections
Biddis (364 D)

cool, i wanna try it. Anyone wanna see if they can get 6 degrees of separation to me.

I play on the same diplomacy website as you - thats direct connection right there.
figlesquidge (2131 D)

Sure, although I think I know how our link would go Biddis.
Glor - that's why i said *real life*
Biddis (364 D)

I've only met one active player on this site in RL, and one other with an account that doesn't play anymore.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
No, but my point is that I bet I know someone who knows them?
Biddis (364 D)

was that to me figle?

figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Yes Biddis
Biddis (364 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Actually i just had a thought, do you actually live close enough to him that you go to the same corner shop?
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Very probably yes, assuming he's been into the village enough to be recognised. This is quite funny to read now I think about it - there can't be many people who know what we're on about, although it has been mentioned before
Biddis (364 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Nope :) It's cool so with 6 degrees does it have to be someone you're friends with or someone you've spoken to? Because technically we could make it in 3 moves Me-shop assistant-you.
jman777 (407 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
it would be cool if we were able to trace each other through our mutual friends......it'd be hard to do though cause we would need to be introduced to EVERY one of our friends friends, and then do that 6 times. it would take quite a while.
Biddis (364 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Definately, the immediate friends part is ok, such as, i have a friend whose been to new york for example, but then i'd need to know exactly who they know in new york n then exactly who that person knows etc. It doesn't really work i think.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Well, whilst he lives on the other side of the country from me, I know Ghost and I can be done in 3 moves through genuine acquaintances.
Biddis - yeh, lets take that one.
So, how about someone with a more interesting link :P

I think the theory is that it _averages_ to be six people.
jman777 (407 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
oh that could be true. cause for it to ALWAYS be that man people is a little creepy.
Invictus (240 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
Alderian, I don't know why but your post makes me think of a grown Yoko Ono living in a doghouse.

I still don't buy this idea. I mean, there are a lot of people in the world, some of them living in real obscurity. I can't get over uncontacted tribes in the Amazon and New Guinea.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

My understanding was it started out as the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Anyone was up to six degrees from Kevin Bacon which would mean that anyone would be up to twelve degrees from anyone else.

Why Kevin Bacon? Because he happened to have been in movies with a lot of big time actors when he was younger so is a big nexus point.
jbalcorn (429 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
@rlumly - no, it's MAX 6 people.
jbalcorn (429 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
6DoS was first. 6DoKB was a game that some college kids came up with. As it turns out, it is possible to go from Kevin Bacon to almost any film or television actor in 6 hops, for the aforementioned reasons. It's probably true of most actors, but it's easier with KB (because he has been in so many diverse movies), and funnier.

What about a one day old baby in Hull and a one day old baby in Detroit, could they be connected by 6 degrees?

@ Jefe - I know someone who thinks he knows god, so I know you! But you have never sent me a birthday card or xmas gift, so I think I'm going to disown you.
jman777 (407 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
@ maniac, they most likely know their parents and thus are connected with the rest of the world. it would make it 7 degrees though.
Maniac (189 D(B))
27 Jun 09 UTC
If the two sets of parents knew one another via the six degrees, that would make the babies chain 8 I think.

Unpause please?
We have a game that was paused due to a multi but one of the other players was literally about to go CD when it happened, the multi has already been replaced but there person who hasn't been here in 3 days or finalized a turn in 4.5 days is holding up the game for us. Everyone is finalized but the awol Italy so we'd appreciate an unpause. Thank you

What determines the order in which the games show up?
Does anyone know? I'm sure someone does. This always has bothered me. They appear in a seemingly random, but consistent pattern in different places. Ie. the games in my profile show up in a seemingly random order (Maybe it's pot size now that I think about it) but what really has me stumped is the order in which the games show up in the top bar where it shows messages and finalization... Anyone know?

Avoid Submariner in live games (and maybe in all games...)
He agreed to ten minute phases and then later on when he started losing he refused to finalize. Behavior like this needs to made public.
