Borderline Movies

List films you're not sure if they land on the happy side of par...or just barely fail...or just hit the line...Mine's "Bladerunner"--I STILL can't tell if that's the best bad movie or worst good movie I've ever seen...it has some of the best stylistic and atmospheric elements of any even partially-action film I've seen...but even with the PDK book's ideas and the VK test...so DULL, and plodding, with a plot heavier on conceptualization than payoff, until the very, very end...I dunno.

GATTACA was a future-tense docudrama.

"We were appalled when we found out," says Brown, who's a registered nurse. "Why do they need to store my baby's DNA indefinitely? Something on there could affect her ability to get a job later on, or get health insurance."

Hey there are a bunch of acronyms used on this forum about the game that I haven't been able to figure out. I did a search and couldn't find them anywhere. Does anyone have a list?

I love mute thread!

Since I have been gone for 2 years, many things have changed. The thing that I LOVE is the option to mute threads. Not that everything the people on this site say isn't fascinating, but it sure helps me clean up things and get to the threads that I am really interested in. Whoever came up with this idea...+1.

I don't like gunboats

I'm playing my first GB game and I don't like it. I don't like not being able to congratulate my ally on a good move. I don't like not being able to duck with my enemy. I don't like seeing a briliant move that requires cooperation and not being able to tell my potential cooperator about it, so that he doesn't bounce me. I do not like it Sam I Am, I do not like GB and ham.

2 New Public Press Games!

See inside for all the goodies.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
04 Feb 13 UTC

1st game: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=109875

This is a game for the less-competitive sort. Its only a 5

bet, 36 hrs phases and not anonymous. I don't want it to be taken too seriously. Basically this is an idea I had a while back where it runs similar to a gunboat and the public press is essentially a way to talk about wherever conversation takes us. Despite my better judgment, I want to converse with you all about non-diplomacy related topics from time to time and have enjoyed doing so on the forum. And because I am snobby, and this is my game, and I don't like to converse with everyone, pm me or post in here if you are interested and I will pick 7 talkative folks who I think would be fun to chat with.

2nd game: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=109876

This is the real deal public press game. It will be semi-anon, 24hr phases, and a 75

bet. I haven't played a real public press game yet and am greatly looking forward to it. If you post here or PM me I'll send you the pw (so long as you have a reliable record).

Tom, I'm up for Game #2 -- be good to prove 24hr is sufficient for Public Press... probably would lean towards 36 hours to allow more before work/after work time to look more than once at the game, if you find it hard to fill the seats at 24hr...

Alright. Lando convinced me that it won't be too much work with the masters coming up. Can I get in on the 1st game?

@ jos - I'll PM you the password. If we continue to have trouble finding victims, I mean players... I'll just create a new game with 36 hr phases

@Yonni: Glad to have you. This game won't be too much work. Its supposed to be a jolly time. PM'd you the password.

Best browser for webdip on Macs

I am running OSX Lion on several macs in my house and continuously drop connection to the web dip server. I go to refresh a page or move to another and I just watch the pinwheel spin and eventually tell me that Google Chrome cannot connect to the server. I have tried both Safari and Firefox with no better results. Is this a browser problem, or do I have to change some settings? Should I change browsers? Help!

Do Advertisements Reflect or Influence the Culture?

Advertisements (commercialized propaganda) are often criticized for portraying things in certain ways. The first thing that comes to my mind are cigarette ads. But shouldn't a financially aware institution conform to the cultural mindset in order to maximize profit? Could it be that everyone in the United States is a hypocrite?
