Question for mods
If someone is multi-gaming, are you able to tell just by looking at the network? I mean...I'm seriously getting paranoid that whenver a new player with zero finished game joins my game and seems like an expert already......

This seems really weird...
Of the 46 games I've finished, one has been won by Italy. I know Italy is considered to be the worst country, but a win percentage of just over two percent seems a bit low...

What about you all? Am I just an anomaly?

Mea Culpa
This is in regards to the babysitting I performed for Bunjeeman on the Dip game:
Bunjeeman asked me to 'babysit' his account for a portion of the weekend - he was going to be indisposed for a period of time, and would only be able to check his page infrequently and didn't want to miss a set of orders.

multi accounters
Why do certain people still insist on multi accounting? Apart from the basic honor principle, how fulfilling can it be really? A game I'm in now "pandasun" appears to be the same as "silly", and once one of his other MA's had been exposed seems to have started another. I truly enjoy the challenge of this game, and this site is easily better than others. This is now the third game that MA's have affected thte outcome. Help!

JDip - set up position
Does anyone know if it is possible to set up positions at later stages in the game using JDip? I realize that there is an edit mode but you seem to have to go through the motions of gaining an losing SCs in order to set up advanced positions as the unit count must equal the SC count. Any ideas?

To clear things up!
Hey guys, I just noticed something today while getting pissed at two of my new games. It appears a person named ramblin_fan has joined both games and slipped into CD. Now these are the only two games that he joined and it looks suspicious like I created him. I just want to clear up that I didn't and have nothing to do with him :)

Don't you feel guilty of stabbing?
I feel really, really, really (cannot emphasize how much) guilty when I stab someone, especially when you are forced to stab because there's no one else to expand on.

paranonia
Whenever a player with few games (total game (n): n < 5; no finished game) join my game, and he doesn't reply when I talk to him, or when he talks like he played this game for a long time, I start thinking someone is multi-gaming...and I loss the spirit to play. I think it's paranoia.

LOL, I loved the list.
Many of of the songs suits this game very well.

For me, Diplomacy theme has always been "I heard it through the grapevine", from Marvin Gaye:
"People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear"



I would also add to the list:

We can work it out - Beatles

Also from the Beatles: Im looking through you, for when you feel you´re about to be stabbed

Aretha Franklyn singing Think for a greedy bad-timed stab on a loyal ally.

For losing a battle: My way, sang either by Frank Sinatra or Sex Pistols, according to the mood.

For a come back on top: I will survive, Gloria Gaynor

And I must confess sometimes catch myself singing aloud Michael Jacksson´s Beat It while Im playing ;)
Read 'em and Weep,
Two out of 3 ain't bad.
I'd lie for you (and that's the truth),
Back into Hell,
The Monster is Loose,
Bad for Good,
Cry Over Me,
Alive!,
Seize the Night,
Amnesty is Granted,
Bad Attitude,
Nowhere Fast,
Piece of the Action,
Jumpin' the Gun,
Cheatin' in your Dreams

All by Meat Loaf of course.
I love your list, Edi. I need to go download those! <no idea how to do that>

Rereading this board made me think of a bastardization of the American folk song by Woodie Guthrie "This land is your land" my friends and I made in 4th grade....35 years ago......

This land is my land
It is not your land
I took it from you
Now get off it

Yeah...we were some crazy white kids.

I've always liked Dogs (Pink Floyd). I quote some lyrics below...

Dogs (Waters, Gilmour) 17:06

"You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in..."


Great for Face-to-Face.
