Hurricane Sandy
I know a lot of people (myself included) are about to lose power for at least a few days, maybe longer. Is it possible that the mods could pause all games for those who will be afflicted, or maybe pause all games and make the users unpause them? Estimates are that at least 30 million people will be without power, probably more, in the northeast US.

US vs. UK: Parliamentary or Constitutional Govt.?
I've had a fun time debating it well enough with some political science major friends, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see what comes up--a Parliamentary system like the UK's, or a Constitutional system like the US's, which do you prefer, and why...moreover, assuming everyone here is in one or the other (and not, say, living under a dictatorship) if you could change your country's system to be more like the other's...would you?

Ann Coulter and the R-Word--What a Vapid, Self-Centered, Despicable, Stupid B----!
I'm sorry, you can criticize Obama all you like...but you DO NOT DARE insult the mentally handicapped and then whine that the "PC Police" are after you...no, I'm sorry, but someone were to call me a kike, and I was offended, that's not me being overly politically-correct it's YOUR being incendiary, insipid, vile, cruel, and altogether an example of the sort of person we do NOT need on the air waves or in this country WHATSOEVER.

I trust none of you are retarded enough to vote one way or another because of a celeb endorsement - but will it change your purchasing habits towards the celebs products?

Anyone know what it means when a game with no messages has the little envelope icon (and shows up as a game I need to look at) ? Is it a bug, or did I miss something?

World Series
Because the NFL and NCAAF in Week 8 both take precedence over postseason professional baseball, I'll be the first to say…

The Giants are awesome.

As a baseball player for 12 years and likely a college player, I think there is a lot to be said for these guys. Baseball is one of three of the top "coordination sports" as I call them (some say "skill sports" but others require skill, just a different type) along with cricket and soccer/football. Golf is right up there as well but it is more a game of physics than baseball is.

I just watched the end of Game 3 and every time I see Sergio Romo, I marvel how he can work a slider at 80 MPH with such hard, late break, and still control it and put it right on Posey's glove every time. I can throw low to mid 70s and once I get there, I don't have a clue where it's going. Those guys really do amaze me.

At the same time, Prince Fielder continues to amaze me. I'm a big guy and I hit for power, even on the crappy bats we're forced to use. I swing similarly to Fielder, being that I hit my back every time I swing for power. I haven't seen the same big swings during the series as I had during the regular season and in Milwaukee in the past. He hit into a double play when they really really needed something to happen. He's been a disappointment.

What do others think? Are the Giants outplaying the Tigers or are the Tigers outplaying the Tigers?

Ugh....Tigers shouldn't have taken the Yankees in 4 straight - totally threw them off stride having a week off. That being said...a Detroit team *choking* when it counts? Heh....par for the course...

Hey, the Giants just came down from 2-0 and 3-0, why can't the Tigers now? It's not over till they celebrate on the mound.

I've said that twice this postseason. I agree but I'm afraid to say it a third time.
Giants are outplaying the Tigers. Strong pitching, strong defense, Tigers have no answers. Romo's done a nice job stepping up after Brian Wilson went down.

Let's go, Giants!

Game Cancelled - Dark Summer
Hey all,

So I log in today, and have received a message that a game I was in called dark summer has suddenly been cancelled. I have no idea why? It was a World game that had been ongoing for quite a while. Is anyone able to point me to a reason why this game was cancelled? Or who I can contact to find out? I'm very confused and disappointed as this was an interesting game! Thanks.
