What is natural?

There have been some arguments and discussions in the forum about what is and what is not natural, particularly in the case of filial cannibalism instincts in human beings and animals. Can we find a consensus on what 'natural' constitutes or can we not escape the fact that 'natural' is in part a socially-constructed concept?

Is, for example, homosexuality any less natural than masturbation?

Chicago-Area Tournament

Chicago's Diplomacy club is hosting its sixth annual CODCon Open Diplomacy tournament April 21-22 at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn. We'd love to have you join us!

Hey, Chicago-Area WebDippers.

The Windy City Weasels, Chicago's Diplomacy club, is holding our sixth annual CODCon Open Diplomacy tournament April 21-22 at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn. You can find more info at http://www.windycityweasels.org/codcon6.

CODCon is a three-round tournament, with two rounds on Saturday and one on Sunday. It only takes one round to qualify for awards. We'll be giving out awards for first through third place and the Best Countries.

Historically, we've had two to three boards per round at CODCon. It's smaller than Weasel Moot (which will host World DipCon Aug. 10-12), but it's a lot of fun and a great, low-stress introduction to tournament Diplomacy. Plus, the other attendees at the gaming convention make for outstanding people watching.

If you have questions, check out the link or PM me. We'd love to see you there.

The first two rounds are open ended, but we use a central clock with drop-dead timing, so we can get through 1911, which would be a long ftf game, in under six hours.

Here's the schedule:

Saturday, April 21
Round 1
Registration: 9 to 9:30 a.m.
Board Call: 9:45 a.m.

Round 2
Registration: 5:15 to 5:45 p.m.
Board Call: 6 p.m.

Sunday, April 22
Round 3
Registration: 9 to 9:30 a.m.
Board Call: 9:45 a.m.

Tournament ends at a predetermined time between 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. with brief awards ceremony following conclusion.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Freedom of speech on a private server

I realise this has probably been discussed before, probably a dozen times, but as it has been an issue brought up in a number of threads recently, I thought I'd create one where people could discuss and put their thoughts on the issue into a centered discussion. Are there limitations to freedom of speech on a private server? I certainly enjoy the extent to which we have freedom of speech on this private server. What does everyone else think?

So I'm thinking about getting more fuel efficient in life...

I only have a 5 mile drive to work and plenty of sub 45 MPH backroads. So I've been thinking about a "scooter" type vehicle like a Vespa or a Honda PCX or Silverwing... Any suggestions on what I should look at? Oh, and up to 10K or 11K is permissible so low end cruiser motorcycles work if they have some storage for a laptop bag.

This is what I don't get ....... amongst other things

How can only one player in a game get banned for being a multi. Surely to make it effective your multi accounts have to play in the same game. The aptly named 'Notacheater' was banned as a multi after taking place in one game but no-one else in that game was banned, how does that work?
