Country selection by player
In tournament style games I've read about you pick your country before the game starts based on a selection order. It would be nice to implement the feature on here for locked games.

How do you "leave" a game?
I've seen different games where it says "Left" on the player's line. I don't see where you can click that - there's a Pause / Cancel / Draw option, but no "Leave the game" option.

Can anyone tell me how this works?

Unpausing Games
Sorry, for the question (I'm new here), but how do you unpause games? We've all voted to pause, but when we try to vote to unpause it doesn't appear to register anyone's vote. Thanks for your help!

Games where people have left
I think it would be a good idea for the password to be removed for when someone has left a game and will make it easier for someone to take over a game. Additionally since the new person is at a disadvantage not knowing the situation they take over a reduced fee for entry. It is very frustrating when people leave a game or NMR so making it more viable for players to take over will keep games going rather than the players next to that country taking advantage like vultures which ruins the game.

Emancipation of the ugly person
Women, colored people, handicapped people have all been emancipated over the ages. But in Holland, the person who's presenting the 8 o'clock news (a very good looking young woman (Sascha de Boer)) is about to be replaced by another very good looking young woman (Eva Jinek). Isn't it time for someone ugly?

UK Prime Minister David Cameron - a confused Conservative
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21825823
I think David Cameron looks like the ultimate modern-day politician. It's only his words and his actions that reveal the truth.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
18 Mar 13 UTC
David Cameron must cut a bit of a dash in modern day political circles, tall, dark, handsome, well-spoken Old-Etonian, got a 1st Class Degree at Oxford and is the son of a stock broker. In some ways the ideal Leader for a country like the UK, but as time goes by the gloss has started to fade.
His best asset is that he is more charismatic than Labour Leader Ed Milliband, his biggest problem is that his inconsistent and erratic stance on the biggest issues concerning the UK Tories is causing concern amongst back-benchers and the Tory Party faithful.
Here are just a few of the things that Confused Cameron has said and done.
1) At a time of austerity for the country given a 5% tax cut to the highest earners in the country, people who earn £1m a year gain an extra £40,000, the average wage in the UK is £26,000 p.a. (Mr Cameron is very rich)
2) Wants to look tough on Europe to placate the Conservative right-wing who are veering towards UKIP (anti-European integration party who Cameron describes as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, mostly,") but risks upsetting big business who need certainty before making big investment decisions for the UK. His offer of a referendum on the issue after the next election has just led to more uncertainty about Britains economic strategy which will inevitably lead to billions of pounds of lost investment for UK plc.
3) Tried to sell off UK woodlands to private concerns until people told him he was bonkers, still not sure why he suggested this?
4) Have taken away & strictly curtailed the ability of local planning authorities to control the quality and quantity of building development in the country. This is being challenged in the Courts. This has angered many local Conservative councils.
5) Upset his own Party by agreeing to same sex marriage and then making it illegal for gay couples to get married in Church ..... it's confusing !!
6) Aligned himself with press barons who got him elected into govt but are now facing serious criminal charges that will probably lead to jail sentences.
7) Agreed to go along with the recommendations of the Leveson enquiry into Press standards after years of self-regulation have led to widespread abuses. Said he would implement recommendations in their entirety unless they were 'bonkers', now he is the one who looks bonkers for refusing to take the appropriate action.
8) Imposed a tax on take-away food if it was warm..... bonkers.
9) Not surprisingly refuses to legislate and tax effectively the British Banking system, no surprise there as his dad was a stock broker, that would be akin to turkeys voting for Xmas.
10) He voted to keep anti-gay legislation known as Section 28 but voted in favour of Civil Partnerships for gays ..... wtf ???
11) He voted to continue fox hunting being a hunter himself
12) Wants to rid the UK of the European Court of Human Rights

On the right, Norman Tebbit, former Chairman of the Conservative Party, likened Cameron to Pol Pot, "intent on purging even the memory of Thatcherism before building a New Modern Compassionate Green Globally Aware Party".
Quentin Davies MP, who defected from the Conservatives to Labour on 26 June 2007, branded him "superficial, unreliable with an apparent lack of any clear convictions" and stated that David Cameron had turned the Conservative Party's mission into a "PR agenda".
Traditionalist conservative columnist and author Peter Hitchens has written, "Mr Cameron has abandoned the last significant difference between his party and the established left", by embracing social liberalism
This is what his former tutor Professor Bogdanor at Oxford had to say about him.
When commenting in 2006 on his former pupil's ideas about a "Bill of Rights" to replace the Human Rights Act, however, Professor Bogdanor, himself a Liberal Democrat, said, "I think he is very confused. I've read his speech and it's filled with contradictions. There are one or two good things in it but one glimpses them, as it were, through a mist of misunderstanding"
I think the Professor may have been spot on and I think this will be Camerons eulogy after the next general election.
Last word has to go to my local Conservative MP Nadine Dorries who describes Cameron and his Chancellor George Osborne as "arrogant posh boys who don't know the price of a pint of milk". More worrying for the British public is that he doesn't understand the cost of economic failure, but then he was a projected future wealth of £30 million.
I'm a big fan though because on Desert Island Discs he said one of his favourite songs was 'Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West' by Benny Hill and that he knew all of the words and would sing it at parties ....... sweet !!

Dragon's Dogma & Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch PS3 Games
If you are RPG gamers, you need to get these two games. If you need some games to play, you need to get these two games. They are excellent games. My Dragon's Dogma's pawn is Katarina (sorcerer). It would be awesome if there are people from webdip who can use her and upgrade her equipment. If you have an awesome pawn, post your name/id here and I will look into it.
