Election Night!

Across the world people are on tenterhooks. Americans are preparing to stay up all night, Europeans are readying themselves for a day of protest, and China has closed down Google. It's the political event of the year... It's the UK police commissioner elections!!!!!

Hypothetical

I am thinking about running a tournament, but I have a question regarding the impact of a scoring system. What do you think the results would be of a scoring system based on the following:

What if rankings are assigned by number of solos, with a tie-breaker being total centres?

Dip game with a mandatory end at 1908

Hey, I'm looking to prep for WDC next year and I believe the system they're playing ends the game at 1908.

I've never played this way, but I'd like to get some practice. Anyone in for a game with a timed ending? Ask for the password, don't fucking resign, hopefully you'll write an EOG, and maybe I'll see you at worlds next year. It is PPSC, don't flip, I want to see if someone can solo in this format, and that encourages it. To join this game, you must agree to VOTE DRAW in SPRING 1908.

WHOOPS! I meant that the game ends AFTER 1908. So you have to vote draw in SPRING 1909!

At the WebDip Boston FTF tournament in 2011, all of the games ended after 1908. It was implemented mostly as a practical matter to ensure that games didn't take too long. Makes for interesting game dynamics.

If you want to try that out, make the game password protected and get everyone to agree to those terms in a forum statement first. If you do that, the mods can force draw the game after 1908 if there are any issues with players doing it themselves.

Otherwise, as a public game, where anyone can join without knowing what they are getting themselves into, there is no obligation for the players to abide by that condition and a timed force draw will not be enforced by the mods.

Whoops! Totally meant to password protect it, but I'm running on no sleep, double whoops, so suckazzzz=me

Noob question, again

A wants to hold. B wants to move to C, which is next to A. Is A supporting B's move the same as A holding in strength? If someone tries to come into A, does the support on B make A weaker? thanks!

How does the US get away from the two party system?

I don't have any idea so I'm looking to see what others think. Do we somehow outlaw politcal parties altogether and make candidates run on their own merits? Do we have to do serious reform to campaign financing as well? Give me your ideas!

Where to get Firewood?

This may seem like a silly question, but I've never had a fireplace before, so...
Where do I get it? Most of the trees around here are pine, so I can't burn what falls from storms. A cord goes for close to $300, which seems like a lot, but I don't have anything to compare it to.
