Where can I see the Game ID? And how does one resign?
I did check the FAQ before posting this thread, but didn't find answers.

About Game ID, I've seen people pasting a game ID in such a way that it appears as a link in a message. Where do I see the Game ID, and how do I copy and paste it in such a way?

MOD need help!!!
Game ID 61430. This game I am in has been paused for almost 300 days and most of the players have disappeared. I was wondering if it could be unpaused or even better, forcefully drawn. I would just like my points from the game.

This Time On Philosophy, Erm, Whenever--The Club of Ideas and Intellect: What's In/Out?
On the heels of that "Daily Bible Reading" thread and the impersonations (Mujus, I invite you and your followers along into this thread) and many have ridiculed the arguments made therein as illogical--myself included. It seems, more than ever, that there's a divide, in these amateur ranks and in the "professional" ranks, as to what is viewed as properly intellectual. So! What views and theories are intellectually "valid," in your view, and which are bunkum?

Time Travel is hard.
If Time Travel did exists then it would be the hardest thing ever.
Riphen (198 D)

Pretend I stand on the Empire State Building and I want to travel a minute back in Time. I wouldnt appear back on the Empire State building because where I was standing a minute before was in the exact same spot a minute ago. Time Travel would also need a teleportation device if you were to be able to go anywhere.

Earth is always rotating....plus..Galaxies are moving at light speed so really if you wanted to travel back in one minute you would have to calculate great distances.

I thought of all this while watching a trailer for the new movie Looper.

This isn't necessarily correct. First, without knowing how to time travel, it's really hard to say what the limitations are. If time travel is really just a bending of space-time, then you could come and go any where/when you please. Then there's really no problem. Or, if you had a device (like a Faraday Cage for time instead of electricity) the outside could stay stationary relative to the earth and the inside could move through time.

It's really hard to say, but the problem you propose is really not the limiting factor.

I oragnised a party for timetravelers, sent out the invations listing a date in the past... (stephen hawking, apparently)

Most theories of backward time travel require a worm hole which will handle a space-time translation - thus the spatial condition will be solved by the machine which requires you to exit at a wormhole exit - this having a specific co-ordinate in both time and space. I can't think of any theory which doesn't involve a similar exploitation of the nature of space-time (the infinitely long and dense spining cylinder for examples) and thus will give you an exit point relative to where you time machine was in the past...

Who are you kidding? Just buy a Tardis! I got mine for 99 dollars last December.
In "The Theory and Practice of Time Travel" Larry Niven proposes that the very large (or even infinite) number of time travellers from the future will cause the future-history of the universe to change wildly until one is created in which time travel into the past isn't discovered anywhere or anywhen. At this point the universe's future-history will stop changing and there will be no time-travel. That is the universe we live in now.

abge is right. Remember that einstein united space and time together.

I honestly don't think time travel to the PAST works the way most people do. I think either it isn't possible, or you just travel to another multiverse (and can, therefore, never return to the one you came from).

Time travel to the future? Well, we already have those. The cosmonaut that has spent the most time in space (Mir cosmonaut, I believe?) has lived like 0.000000001 second less than the rest of us. He's literally traveled something like 0.0000000001 second into the future.
@Haert - If you haven't read them yet, get Niven's "The Flight of the Horse". A series of time-travel stories, with a twist.

For the sake of keeping things easy I'm just going to copy and paste the message I sent out to my email list here (PM me with your email address if you'd like to be put on the list, or if you didn't get the email for some reason):

Abortion
With the new discussions in parliament regarding freeing up restrictions on abortion to allow any length of term to be aborted, what do people here think about this? Obviously abortion in itself has been discussed before, so let's keep this specific to the new discussion on no-limit abortion rights.
