Bug on Global board
In game 11921, I am playing Turkey and voted for a draw by entering "/draw" in the global box -- without the quotes. The vote was not acknowledged, however, and it doesn't seem to have registered. There is only one other player remaining in the game and he voted for a draw this morning (7:20am ET) -- presumably before the upgrade.

In Autumn...
If you have X units, and X SCs, and you are forced to retreat one of those units... instead of retreating you disband that unit leaving you with X-1 units... do you get to build a new unit that turn?

Taking over countries should be encouraged!
When you take over a country, there is no indication, to an outside observer, that a country was taken over. That is to say, if you take over a country with 1 supply center at the end of a game, you are the only person recorded as having played that game.

"Depth charging"
@El_Perro_Alto: Please don't do this. Cleaning it up just takes a copy&paste of a query, but until it's cleared up it wastes the time of people reading the forums, because they can't see what posts are actually updated.

The next version has code to prevent "depth charging", but I'd rather not spend time writing anti-dumbass code so use some common sense

Why are idiots and bigots always so assured of themselves, but wiser people are always brimming with
This question came up to my great uncle and me while we were verbally feuding with each other. We got a few half decent answers to it. But it was too late to actually really think about it. And I knew that this would be a badass question to put up in the forum.
amonkeyperson (100 D)
19 Jul 09 UTC
My first answer: (stupid one too) cause an idiot might not know how much of an idiot he really is?

His: Wise people know that there are uncontrollable factors in the world, and you can't control everything, so you have to be vary about what you do, cause it might not end up the way you want or expect it to end up.

What happens if we discover that bigots are actually wise men, or that wise men are actually bigots. Would they they become assured of their self doubts?
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
19 Jul 09 UTC
Because so many things are doubtful, and it takes simplification to make it clear.
I'm assuming that the title should be "Why are idiots and bigots always so assured of themselves, but wiser people are always brimming with doubt"
I think that is due to the nature of being wise, wise people are only so because they are willing to ask questions. This includes questioning themselves, which is doubt.

@draugnar - so billy shakespeare was basically saying that everyone is a fool?
jman777 (407 D)
20 Jul 09 UTC
@alderian, thats probably one of my favorite quotes of all time.

and as far as the question posed, I think it could also be that, rather than having many doubts, wise men are just less vocal. an idiot is an idiot for a reason. wise people have learned not to go around yelling out everything and that it isn't usually good to put everything out on the table all at once.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-William Shakespeare: "Macbeth", Act 5, Scene 5

There aren't really any wise men, they are simply more adept at hiding their bigotry. Or, perhaps because you cannot proclaim yourself a "wise man," they are bigoted in the same ways as those who exhalt them.
