Is this anything more than a jobs bill for expensive unionize labor just like the original stimulus bill was a jobs bill for unionized state employees? If you don't work in a union or you own a business that doesn't employ union labor do you exist in Obama's economic world view?

Mind the gap!
Does anyone else get the urge to fill in the holes in your territory? You know those islands of alien colour spoiling your empire. How far will you go - divert an army a move? Two moves?

My megalomania has no room for anyone else, it's the itch I have to scratch.

I was wondering what the forum's consensus is on the movement of the smyrna army. Should it go to armenia or constantinople?

How much sex is too much sex?
When should I lay off of the sex? Should I slow down when the women lose their individual robotic identities and combine forces to become the Megazord, or is that, instead, the perfect time to finally bang that hag Rita?

Forcing a draw
Is currently in a gunboat game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=65576) where the west has formed a perfect stalemate line against Turkey. However, he/she won't vote for a draw, resulting in a very prolonged game without any end. As there won't be a winner, is there a way to for example a mod to force a draw and end the game so we won't have to fill in the same orders over and over again?

Calling The Loved...
...and the Hated. Yes, all members of gameID=65584 should report here. Those of you who would like to start another game let me know, I do not expect any other than me, but I will still try. Regardless, I would like to start a seperate game similar to the one before, but I would like to add some rules...
King Atom (100 D)
06 Sep 11 UTC
For one, NO KRELLIN!
For two, do not send any PM's during this game to anyone involved in this game. I'd ask that you do so, but if it is neccessary, all I ask is that you refrain from even mentioning our game. Also, I'd like a bit more civility within the chat: NO PROFANITY! We are not barbarians here...I'd like it if we had some more proffessional players as well: We were good with Eden and two mods, but I would prefer a bit more of a challenge as well as some more reasonable people. And also...NO PAUSES! I will keep it strict on this rule, but none of this matters because this game probably won't even get started...

Anyways, I'd like to make it 5 day phases where people SUBMIT their moves. Public forum will also be included. At the very least...can I get obi's support?
Rommeltastic (1121 D(B))
06 Sep 11 UTC
Not interested. Only world chat doesn't work. I'd do it if it was seven people on a classic map, but that also means that it would only apply to the more dedicated people. I am, unfortunately, not one of the best forum stalkers out there. As such, I doubt I'm game for another.... ah.... repeat.
King Atom (100 D)
06 Sep 11 UTC
Yes, I would prefer it to be the classic map, so the first seven people...

King Atom (100 D)

No problem, anyone who's capable and willing should join up...like I said, I don't expect it to follow through unless we do Classic.
mods fucked up the last one and didn't have the balls to ban the perpetrator. nope.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

I explained my reasoning clearly and told you the proper procedure to follow if you weren't happy with the outcome (which no one bothered with). I'm sorry if that wasn't enough for you.
King Atom (100 D)
06 Sep 11 UTC
abgemacht was not at fault, krellin and obi were. I disagree with abgemacht's decision, but he is the mod and has the final word. If we are going to do another one, I'd like to make it so that what happened cannot happen again.
Actually several people "bothered with" it, just because you ignored them doesn't mean it didn't happen. A member set out deliberately to torpedo a game because he was losing and you granted his wish. Awful.

abgemacht (1076 D(G))
06 Sep 11 UTC
I very clearly told everyone to send an email if they wanted another mod to do a more thorough investigation. While many people complained and insulted me in-game, no one bothered to send an email, including yourself.

I already ahd to deal with this last blowup, and you want to have a game involving the Forum???

Yeah...I think I've given abgemacht enough trouble for one game...

Maybe in a few months--like, for the holidays--we can try another big-talkers game...

But for now, I'm not getting involved with this anymore than I have to be (which hopefully won't be much.)
I must have missed that part, because I would have definitely sent an E-mail, which would definitely have been ignored.
obiwanobiwan (248 D)
06 Sep 11 UTC
@abgemacht: don't have your e-mail...

can i jsut get a pm--ironically enough--of any reprecussions or advice i should take away from this, besides "don't send pms of any sort in a globa-chat game."
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
06 Sep 11 UTC
@Santa

No, your email would not have been ignored, which is why I specifically told people they could send one.
I believe that would be the only advice you take from this

@obi

I'll tell you here so everyone can hear it. You are not the only person guilty of this:

Do *not* talk about any part of an ongoing gunboat/public press game to players in private.

Do *not* enter games with preconceived notions of who you are going to take out.
...except when you are losing, because doing so will cancel the game and get you off the hook.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
06 Sep 11 UTC
@Santa

You can feel free to misrepresent reality all you wish, but that will neither change the past, nor is it conducive to changing policies that you disagree with.

As I've said, ad tedium now, had Krellin been the only one who cheated, with the sole intention of prompting an investigation, I would not have cancelled the game.
Krellin cheated to get your attention-> He got your attention -> You uncovered a mysterious band of unnamed cheaters -> Krellin got off Scott free

Simplified

Krellin Cheated to get your attention-> Krellin got off Scott Free

I don't feel like I misrepresented anything let alone reality.
no worries, I'm done, said what I had to say, carry on.

It was krellin who started it and I who foolishly responded to him, Santa...

Unless abgemacht says otherwise, I think that's it, and we can lay this to rest, as I've already apologized and said I didn't intend any wrongdoing.

I'd love to do another game like this...

Either not right now, or if it's now, I'll be #7, after there are 6 folks I KNOW won't blow up the game.

6...
7...
8-17?

Anyways, Yellow, please do not refrain from signing up...I believe that some of those just listed are mature enough to submit their moves after two or three days. If that's still too much, then maybe this isn't for you. Also, everything above is subject to change...

Well, we have enough to do Ancient Med...though I'm not sure that would be any fun. I would like to get the full seventeen, but if not...seven will work just fine-ish. I'd like it if someone (obi) tracked down everyone in the previous game and sent them a PM. If we are to do such a game, I'd like to start it as soon as possible, as I have become somewhat eager to leave this site now.
Actually, I need to withdraw. Sorry, folks.
