People who can't even CDR right
How bothersome is it when someone misses two turns to CDR and everyone has been waiting for the cycles, then they visit the game again but do nothing so you have to wait two more days for them to CDR again. It can really put a parking brake on a game.

new game
I want to play a new game, prefering rather experienced players.
I thought about 2 days/phase, 101 bet. I don´t really care if it is gunboat or classic game, you guys tell me what you would like better. Write, if you are interested.

Giants vs. Cowboys
The NFL Season Opener was last night; Giants vs. Cowboys. I myself am a big Giants fan and personally thought they should have won the game. The Cowboys committed over 12 penalties and even though it affected their yardage it was a main factor to why they won the game. Based on last nights performance I think that some of the penalty rules in the NFL need to be changed to stop things like this from happening again. What do you think? Leave your answer as a comment.

Interested in a 10 Minute Live Game?
Anyone want to play a 10 minute live game tonight? I enjoy live but 5 minute phases are a little too fast for negotiation. 10 minutes would take longer but it would be the happy medium for a serious game. Any takers?

So you think you can Diplomacy?
Hi,
I'm setting up a Full-Press Classic WTA. This game requires a Ghost Rating (not Ranking! see GR list) of >150. The game will be anonymous, although a list of participants will be presented here, entry costs 354 kudos, and in the end, I win. There are 3 special rules :-)

Parti Quebecois elected in Quebec
The separatist provincial party has unseated the incumbent Liberal Party. Seule à Canada...

Any opinions on what this will mean? A referendum is unlikely of course, but any predictions on what new restrictions on English will succeed, which of the PQ's fun social experiments will be unleashed on the province?

I find it quite interesting that once you reach the top 100 in GR no matter what you do your position doesn't change that easily (Draugnar is an exception. He goes up and down like an elevator).

The other idea I had -- and not to digress the thread -- would be a utility of some kind where it would fill in the map from a given game and you could move your pieces and other players' pieces to simulate what the next turn might be like so you could visualize the board and figure out the best moves. I think it could be useful.

Fortress Door (1837 D)

for new players, that might help, though once you have been playing for months, you can do it mentally (and within five minutes, live games rock!)

Victorious (768 D)

@ Mapu, check Jdip. The only negative is you always have to start your simulation from 1901, you cant do it from the middle of a game.
Fortress Door (1837 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
there is an "edit mode" feature you can use
Alderian (2425 D(S))
07 Sep 12 UTC
I believe I heard that you could import game files into jdip, so what you'd really want is a way to have webdip give you an export file for a particular game that you could then import into jdip.

Mapu, if you haven't, take a look at the Developer info link under the Help link at the top. And introduce yourself on the Developer forum whose link you can find in the same place.

Note that new development is kind of stalled at the moment while Kestas works on a bit of an overhaul. Unfortunately it has been in that state for awhile now.

DNC blatantly ignores vote of delegates
I wouldn't normally bring this up, since I think that putting much importance on the secondary goings-on at a convention is irrelevant to anything real.
