Discovered Slacker Radio...
I'm impressed! I never figured anything with the name Slacker in it would be something I would use.

I also discovered that my WiFi extender reaches the entrie .6 acres of my yard, so no data used while listening to Slacker on my cell phone and mowing the yard!

Generating Noobs
I've got one or two coworkers I'm trying to introduce to the game. I'd like to find a group of guys willing to help show them the ropes in a low-pot, low-maintenance game that I would like to design to play about 3 or 4 years to give them a taste for how the game is played and everyone helps them learn the basics. At the end, all 7 powers would draw the game for a fun experience for all.

Juggernaut Fear, Reasonable or Oversubstantiated?
Ive been in quite a few games over the course of many years on this site and when I first started, the Juggernaut was deadly but people waited for it to develop. Now, it seems that even the hint of a Juggernaut is enough to kill Russia or Turkey or both.

My views. Italy handed Germany a win. England was not that great EITHER, but, his play had less effect on the outcome, than a very bad Italy

Great Movies, Awful Trailers
Name some of your favorite movies with terrible trailers. I will start with Full Metal Jacket.
Alien, I thought it was a mayonaise commercial.

Yeah, just watched the Alien trailer. That was God-awful for such a good movie.

To be fair to Alien, it would be pretty hard to do a decent trailer that didn't ruin the whole tension of the film. It's all the "what exactly has happened" that makes it such a good movie, but you can't show anything, really, in the trailer or you ruin the movie.
iMurk789 (100 D)
03 Jun 12 UTC
Really? I always thought the Alien trailer was pretty good, it showed the tension of the movie without ruining anything that happened in it, whereas a lot of trailers these days don't give you a sense of what the movie will be like without giving away a lot of major plot details.

This is not quite on topic, but the worst trailers are those for mediocre comedies that include the best 4-5 jokes from the movie. It's the opposite effect of the Pulp Fiction/Full Metal Jacket scenario - you think you're going to a great movie and instead you get a waste of time.

You're right. Let's open this thread up a little more.

District 9 was a far better movie than what I expected from the trailer. I expected some cheap "Alien Nation" meets "ID4" knockoff but got a real film with a solid social commentary and a unique and interesting story line.

"hereas a lot of trailers these days don't give you a sense of what the movie will be like without giving away a lot of major plot details." - Uh trailers spoiling the main twist of the movie is not a "these days" thing. Soylent Green came out in 1973.

Gotta agree with mafia there. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) gave everything away in the trailer.

England&Germany vs. Russia&France
I experienced, that in the scenario when England and Germany ally up France and Russia are quite helpless. At least they are weaker, especially if they don´t coordinate very well. Anyone ever seen France and Russia winning against England and Germany?

Using WebDiplomacy as a calculator.
Good day everyone. In my experience, one of the most frustrating things about playing Diplomacy in real-life is the period of order-processing. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to utilise this website (or a similar platform) to essentially be an order-calculator for my real-life games. In my mind i see orders being written down, as standard, and submitted to the GM, who could then plug them into the system for calculation...Meaning the game could progress more rapidly. Any ideas?

So I have been writing a variant of diplomacy where you have resources to bargain with, and use to score the game to see who wins in a timed game. Anybody ever hear about this kind of game?

I thought unique names are enforced when registering. userID=45009 and userID=44951 appear to have the same name. Perhaps the mods should give one of them the opportunity to change their names to avoid confusion ; )
