A Diplomacy Game for Literature Lovers?

Well, we've done Star Trek Diplomacy before, each power corresponding to one of the powers from Trek...anyone up for playing a game where each player of a power (we'll say Turkey counts for the whole Middle East to make it easier) takes on the persona of a great author from said country? Ex., Shakespeare/Chaucer/Dickens for England, Hugo/Proust/Racine for France, Goethe for Germany, Dostoyevsky/Tolstoy (not that one!) for Russia, etc...?

Canada's economic problem

So I am an econ major in my first year of university, so obviously I know very little compared to others about economics. However Canada has a rather strange economic problem (which I will explain below) and I think I have a viable solution to solve it. Can some of the greats on this site explain why my solution wont work (as why isn't it on the table as a solution)

Genie

You come across a genie, and you get one wish, assume that the genie will properly carry out your wish, not malicious misunderstand the intent. Only rule is no asking for an infinite stream of wishes (or anything that would be tantamount to this).

Somebody used the words "poor" and "UK" in one sentence, and then PE posted something

The first thing made me think of Theodore Dalrymple, the second of legalizing drugs. So without further ado, I present to you Theodore Dalrymple on the legalizing of drugs.

EOG: Gunfall

I thought I had the win, but you got the stalemate line together. When France spooked backwards, it seemed like my win was guaranteed, but then he returned with English fleets as backup. I imagine I missed an opportunity, but I am not sure right now what it was.

Show Me Something Interesting

The other day, someone told me I am too caught up in the past to function appropriately. It was then made a point that my taste in music accurately depicted the same conceptual view of my personality. So tell me, strangers, what is better today than it was yesterday? And can someone please explain the appeals of ANY form of modern music? I'm not sorry when I say that I am satisfied with listening to this for the rest of my life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_JAgHxR14

Bob, did you misorder in S01 or did you mean to bounce yourself in Ukraine?

Bob Genghiskhan (1238 )
25 Oct 12 UTC

I meant to bounce myself. I wanted to try something new with Russia; usually, I try and come out of the gates roaring and wind up getting dismembered pretty quickly. This time, I wanted to keep my forces ready to react to any overtly hostile moves by anyone else, and give the not entirely farfetched appearance of incompetence.

Mapu (362 )
25 Oct 12 UTC

So doesn't the appearance of incompetence draw people to attack you? Not to digress your thread.

Bob Genghiskhan (1238 )
25 Oct 12 UTC

Or it causes them to leave me alone, figuring they can mop me up later. I don't know about you, but I tend to go after the foes I perceive as more dangerous first.

BreathOfVega (597 )

Well, since I haven't played in any of those games I don't want to stick my nose in it (more than I've already done...), and I think someone did anyway. Also, If I say more it will be considered an accusation, and I don't really want it -_-

sorry to everyone, I was France in the above live gunner last night and 3 different times the site froze up on me at inopportune times ... a real problem. I was not having any other problem with my laptop or getting on any other sites. This really fouled up my moves at one stage and then even caused me to miss 2 in a row late, though I was able to get back on

Bob Genghiskhan (1238 )

That is unfortunate, Rancher. So, what do you think of the peculiar play?

Hurricane/Snowstorm Sandy

I know it isn't hitting landfall for at least another week yet, but if you're out there, be aware of it. There was a public service announcement regarding it in central Indiana last night, so if we have to worry about it, the east coast should really focus on it.
