So How Does This "Football" Of Yours WORK, World?
I can't escape this World Cup thing... my Bio professor (like a lot of my good professors I've had) is from another land he's football-mad, every second that's not about Bio is a joke or about how awesome football is, how he used to love playing goalie... but I DON'T GET IT! I mean, most of the games so far have been TIES- why is this so popular? (How does this game even WORK? A clock counting up, all these rules...?) Football lovers- explain? :)

A Game With Teams (Europe Map)
I'm experimenting with a new game where there are three main teams, and the center nations are going to be England (Allies), Russia (Communist), and Germany (Axis). If you want to join a team, you have to ask them in private and declare them on the global chat if they say yes. They also have to confirm it on Global Chat.

No Backstabbing
Anyone interested in a game where you have to declare war on someone before you move into his/her territories (both SCs and Non-SCs) three hours before the turn end and 30 minutes before you finalize your orders? You are going to be in an alliance with someone, you also have to declare it.

National Anthems
The world cup has me wondering if there are any national anthems out there that are actually easy on the ears.

Being biased I think the US has the best, but I also tip my cap to England's, France's and South Africa's, though I fear we won't hear them much more after the next round. Are there any other ones out there that I should give a listen?

I've heard Canada's is well regarded by music experts. But then I'm biased too. = )
I don't like the US. It is too much about war. My favourite is Germany (biased but it is nice.) And if we want to go even farther. Bavaria has the greatest anthem ever.
Bavaria and their anthem (Die Bayernhymne) is just so beautiful and unified. Totally the best.

Not quite a national anthem, but used in the same context in rugby union international matches, Ireland's Call and Flower of Scotland are by far the best in the world.

yayager: Well, easy on the ears: that's easy. Choose one without lyrics. You then have the wide pick of:
* Bosnia and Herzegovina
* Kosovo
* San Marino
* Spain
Am I missing any?

I think Bosnia's is absolutely beautiful. Here is a sample: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:National_Anthem_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.ogg.

Every other one of these countries has a beautiful anthem. (I'm biased towards Spain's.)

By the way, the German anthem (not the lyrics) were the old Austro-Hungarian anthem.

The Qajar anthem is probably the best, though!

Obama's Coast Guard HALTS Oil Spill Clean-up Effort
http://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spill-gov-bobby-jindals-wishes-crude/story?id=10946379

I don't even know what to think. It appears Obama - by allowing his coast Guard (He is commander in Chief) to halt an effective clean-up effort - wants (or at least is allowing) the destruction to be worse. Thoughts?

Classics
I'm studying to be a classics major and was wondering if anyone else on the boards has studied/ is studying Latin or Greek. Personally, I intend the first major works that I read in either language to be the epic poems (working on the Iliad right now!). What about you? (and if there are any veteran classicists stalking these forums, do you have any resources to recommend or advice to offer? Thanks!)

Penalty for CDing.
I am sure this has been brought up before, but there really needs to be a harsher penalty for people who go into civil disorder. It completely ruins the game. If if the penalty was 2x or 3x the bet maybe people wouldn't leave the game the moment things go against them.

Ancient Med is a bad map.
I recommend avoiding this board for diplomacy because it is particularly ill suited to regular diplomacy albeit alright for gunboat. The problem is that due to having only 5 players, a first turn full trust alliance can brute force the game regardless of what the other players do and that is sort of a problem.

Gamblig. What Say You?
I went to a casino for the first time last night, and again tonight. I came out ahead but I can see how easy it would be to lose control of something like that, especially if you got in a hole or were in some altered state. What does the Diplomacy community think of the institution of gambling?
