Fools Rush In: Game 67704
Is this the highest stakes game played? Pot of 7000 D. I notice three players have voted to draw already, how disappointing. This is one game I would like to see played to the death.

Who is your money on?

Cheating in WebDiplomacy
I have sent a message to the game mods about a no ingame messaging World XI game Im in days ago without reply - and I think its a clear case of either A) metagaming or B) Multi-account because the level of co-op without any supposed comms is unbelievable.

So far nothing at all from the mods - not even an acknowledgement of the mail - what should I do?

Out of curiosity, what's your system for muting people? I would assume (and hope) you don't just mute anyone who disagrees with you, but what draws the line? For myself, I haven't muted anyone and don't plan to unless they're being incredibly (and obviously intentionally) offensive.

What a jackass. So, i suppose he mutes me because he considers me a troll. I'm sorry, but somebody please tell me how this *entire* concept of a post isn't oriented on the definition of being a fucking troll! Which makes Draugnar -- no big surprise here -- a troll.

It also shows you what a wee little man Draugnar is. The type of jackass that prides himself on what? Having thin skin? Not being able to handle dissenting ideas?

I pity you, Draugnar...as I likewise pity any other *fool* that proudly posts their "thin-skin" list...

What was the point of that if he can't see the post without un-muting you, Krellin?
Draugnar (0 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
@G1 - I selectively mute based on offensiveness. I should probably pull Putin off as he has things to say that are valid, but the way he says them is just so OTT in ad hominem attacks and strawman arguments. He doens't answer questions, just pretends to then attacks you for asking as if your opinion is without warrant just becaus ehe disagrees with it.

Darwyn, maple, and krellin are just jackasses with nothing to contribute beyond personal attacks. A few others probably should come off as I was just testing the waters when they happened to attack me, but they aren't regular posters.

King Adam (not King Atom) is a multi who has been banned. He was created by someone just to pick on King Atom and didn't deserve wasting my effort on reading any of his crap.

Basically, that is the rule of thumb. Don't have anything to contribute and just go with personal attacks, you get muted. I come here to relax and have fun, and I don't feel like wasting my time with people whose only contribution is to attack someone else on a personal level.

I love conversation and even heated debates, but not people who contribute nothing of real value to the conversation or can't formulate a real argument, just an attack on the other person for disagreeing.

Actually Sic, I just unmuted you. I forget why exactly you had been muted, but it had to be something of a personal nature. I don't mute people just for disagreeing with me.
krellin (80 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
Darugnar, this whole post is intended as a de-facto personal attack, jackass! You purpose is not to compare lists, but to attempt to drag those of us you have muted through the proverbial mud. the funny thing is, I haven't posted anything on these forums in weeks. Again...you are a jackass. And that isn't a "personal attack"...it's an observation.
krellin (80 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
And Draugnar, I contribute to discussions...you just don't like my contributions and disagree with them. I have noted often that when I post a counter argument, it is often ignored or....GASP....I get personally attacked...just like YOU DID ABOVE.

You are the *worst* kind of hypocrite....the hypocrite with no backbone to stand up for himself.

Why don't you post a topic in which I can exchange ideas with you, and one in which you have a pair of balls big enough to actually respond to my arguments in ? I note that you list of muted people contains...surprise surprise....a number of conservatives. Your issue isn't with offensive language and personal attacks, or your list would be significantly larger...and would have to include yourself if possible! No...you list is obvious just a list of people you disagree with. You are a pathetic jackass.

@hellalt - It isn't fascism. It's the right to ignore the stupid mother fuckers. I'm not supressing their speech. I'm just "turning off the TV" when the fucktards come on. That's my right to do as a private citizen. It would be facism to force me to read their bullshit the same as it would be to force me to attend a political rally if I didn't want to go,

LOL Draugnar....the King Hypocrite...mutes people because (as he states above) he doesn't like personal attacks. He then goes on to call people "stupid mother fuckers" and "fucktards"...and who are the people he is personally attacking? Those with which he has political disagreements.

Wow, draugnar....that is really deep and intellectual. Quite impressive logic there, jackass.
Draugnar (0 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
Oh, and for those who didn't see it in the other thread, I did acknowledge the irony of calling people fucktards and mother fuckers (and father fuckers and all kinds of other names) in a thread explaining why I mute people who post nothing but insults. But I would like to point out that I don't mute them for posting insults, I mute them for posting nothing *but* those insults. Mapleleaf, for instance, always follows behind me with his favorite wuote. I only know because it takes time for the javascript to hide it. There is nothing redeeming in any of his posts to anyone that I have seen to date. Putin, while having something to say, *alwyas* says it in a condescending and insulting manner. He can;t help but respond with an insult. TC is much the same, and krellin only posts with the intent to call someone a name. If they could post without name calling until they are frustrated, then I would unmute them. But they can't. I ocassionally check what is said by unmuting them and see if they have mellowed at all. They haven't. so they go right back to muted.

And yes, krellin, I just saw your post. You proved once again why I muted you.
krellin (80 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
Draugnar...King of the Hypocrites...and apparently a liar to boot...calls people names, issues personal attacks....oh....but when DRAUGNAR calls someone a fucktard, he does it with a reason?

Ummmm....once again....you mute people that you have political disagreements with, period. Tettleton, I am sure, have never called you a name....thus your explanation is bogus. You will also not that I have said MORE than just throwing out a personal attack - I have made a sugestion (i.e. you list is just political foes) which....OF COURSE...you ignored. Why did you ignore it? Because you are a liar and a hypocrite. And that was NOT a personal attack...it was simply an observation based upon the data I have collected.

Draugnar...you are a pathetic, thin-skinned hypocrite...and a liar to boot. (I'm muted...and yet he responds to me....hillarious....)

I'd never forgive myself if I didn't...

If ever it should happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list, I've got a little list,
Of Diplomacy offenders who might have muted sound
And who never would be missed, who never would be missed,
There's the cheaters and the trollers and the hypocrites, to start,
Though accuser and offender, it's hard to tell the two apart,
But while we're in an inflammatory, accusatory mood,
Take the folks who once corrected merely sit and pout and brood,
And TC as...well, what more need be said of he, you get the gist,
He never would be missed,
No, none of them be missed!
(He hasn't got a list, he hasn't got a list
But still none of them'd be missed, no,
None of them be missed!)

I love that song. ;)

And without my posts, Draugnar's self-flagellating post would already be gone. That is how little interest there is, Draugnar, in your particular brand of hate and attack-posts. Once again, this emphasizes what a true Troll and Hypocrite you are.

Do you know what self-flagellating means?
krellin (80 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
Yes. Do you? It means that draugnar is beating himself. And....by his posts, in which he decries those that issue personal attacks...and then proceeds to personally attack people....Draugnar has thus beaten himself.

Putin....are you truly too fucking stupid to see the irony and hypocrisy implied in this fucking troll's post?

But of course you don't....becuase you, too, are one of those fools that is so blinded by hatred of others that you would disagree with me if i said water is wet...and thus you will deny until your dying breath that Draug, in this case, if a hypocrite and a fool.

Yes I did....10th grade English, actually. The question is, SantaDumbowitz, do YOU know what the word means? I find that, generally speaking, your grasp of basic language and basic concepts is quite lacking.

Actually, the real question is: Are YOU muted? Because it seems that your last post was simply a thinly-veiled personal attack....and we all know that Draugnar, the Supreme Hypocrite, finds that so offensive that he bans people from his life for such activity.

Oh...wait...you are a Political Ally of Draug, and thus are immune from his Anti-Personal Attack Rules. Such is life with moronic Liberals like you and Draugnar....your rules of conduct only apply to others, and never to yourselves. That is why the political tides not only in the US, but internationally, are turning against your ilk.

And Santa....I find your jealousy over my former experience as a teacher to be....sad. Pathetic. It makes me wonder what you are doing with your own life that you are so dissatisfied that you must try to tear down others to improve your view of yourself.

I think, Santa, that you need serious emotional counseling...

But i would ask YOU the same question, because YOU seem to thrive on demeaning, insulting commentary. Pot....Kettle....Black. Are you really that fucking ignorant, Putin? Or are you that blind to your own idiocy?
krellin (80 DX)
07 Oct 11 UTC
Goldfinger...show some love? For what? Draugnar's utter hypocrisy? I'm sorry (not really) but I have enough courage to call Draugnar out for being a hypocrite. He mutes people that disagrees with them, issues personal attacks against them....and then claims some sort of noble cause? that he only mutes those that attack others, when he thrives on the personal attack?

I'll show some love when Draugnar admits his hypocrisy and foolishness. Hell...I might even show some love to you or Putin if either of you has balls enough to admit that, yes, Draugnar is a raging hypocrite (as is Putin...).

"Yes I did....10th grade English, actually. The question is, SantaDumbowitz, do YOU know what the word means? I find that, generally speaking, your grasp of basic language and basic concepts is quite lacking."

Yet you used self flagellating in a completely incorrect fashion.

Ha thinly veiled. I guess when you inwardly acknowledge your complete inability to be a teacher, someone who mentions your supposed teaching career is offering a thinly veiled insult.

"Oh...wait...you are a Political Ally of Draug, and thus are immune from his Anti-Personal Attack Rules. Such is life with moronic Liberals like you and Draugnar....your rules of conduct only apply to others, and never to yourselves.

Actually Draug and I agree on very very little politically, try again twat.

"And Santa....I find your jealousy over my former experience as a teacher to be....sad. Pathetic. It makes me wonder what you are doing with your own life that you are so dissatisfied that you must try to tear down others to improve your view of yourself."

How can I be jealous when it didnt exist?

"I think, Santa, that you need serious emotional counseling..."

Complains about Draug being a hypocrite, yet here he is doing the very things he preaches about Draug.
Complains about Draug making personal attacks, yet there has yet to be a post about Draug without the word "jackass" or some other equivalent.
