I really don't have time for this, but I can't get it out of my head so maybe this helps.

New Variant Trials Finished
Even though it wasn't a actual tournament or anything and the games were originally 'wait for ready up' and that stopped halfway through leading to a lot of cds... i figured as they've all come to an end i would post the "results" anyway

"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama
If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS
If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions
So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

Diplomacy for the slow and old
Any interest in a 3 to 4 day phase game? I'd definitely want WTA, but buy-in, anonymity, and map (classic or modern) are up for debate. Drop a line and your preferences if interested. Thanks.

was lincoln great for our elite?
bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

College Life
So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant
Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

Its a great variant, i played it postal way back and once even f2f!
Late night at a tournament, 9 areas and 8 boards one for each player one huge to talk in and 1 for the masterboard and the 4! Gamemasters that ran around.

Germany won i was austria and never really saw what hit me in the endgame)
Fog of War would be awesome on this site.

I would not limit communication though as even in medieval times they sent messengers on horseback.
You could time-delay the communications based upon distance. After all, a horse-back messenger couldn't get across Europe very quickly.

A turn is roughly 6 months and the game is set such that wireless communication was around (WWI). So why delay? Even a horseback ridar could have covered all but the English channel in that time and wireless communication had no such limits.

I support the implementation of rules variants on the webdiplomacy website. We already have gunboat, anon, WTA, and PPSC. What I *don't* understand are major map vatiants like World Diplomacy IX and Ancient Mediterranean which don't seem so balanced or interesting. Bring on Fog of War! :D

I didn't remember Oli at the time, so it was hard to make a connection other than knowing that 'sleepcap' didn't sound familiar.
