This game is going to need a new Germany

The game was paused for the xmas break, but one of the players never came back to unpause. We're probably going to get a mod to unpause so we can continue - does anyone want the German position? It's not great, but also not over yet.

Meta-gaming

Can someone please explain exactly what meta-gaming is. So that the older players like me will understand. Sometimes I'm involved in a game and two countries act very peculiar.

A year old

I can't believe it's been a year since I've joined. It's been fast, but I feel like I've been here longer on this site than just a year. I like it here, and I will remain here for a very long time.
So, I want to hear other webdiplomacy members stories of the past and how much has changed.

Resign votes

It's been suggested often that there should be an option for players to concede their games without going into civil disorder and ruining the game for the others. Here's a mechanism that I think would be elegant, and not very difficult to implement. Suggestions welcome!

Ancient Med Map Bug

My game is http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=132706 and I am Rome. I have an army at Tarraconensis and a fleet in the Ligurian Sea, and both are adjacent to Baleares. The army is able to move to Baleares and so is the fleet, but when I go to support one unit in with the other, it does not let me. Specifics are in my reply.

This game is a travesty gameID=126952

@anlari -- As Italy you were really a jerk in this game. Have the balls to announce ahead of time that you are going for 34 centers ... don't just string the game out for 20 game years toying with your opponents who are playing by the normal rules. I wish there was a way I could ensure that I never end up in a game with you again.

Good Morning, America!

Here is yet another corrupt cop story for your enjoyment.

http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/30/driver-arrested-for-having-empty-compartment-that-could-store-drugs/

krellin (80 )

Big fucking deal. Please name me a profession in which there is no corruption - who really gives a fuck. We get it, you hate cops. I wouldn't trust a cop as far as could throw him - I've known too many to be that stupid. Most people around here view them as a necessary evil. We get it...

As fro the arrest, I'd be less concerned about a cop arresting someone for an "illegal compartment" than a legal system that says it's illegal. If the cop is just doing his job, what's the problem?

"Cop Enforces Law Not Written, Deliberated On, or Passed by Cop"

Cool story.

steephie22 (182 )

He was arrested under a law. Doesn't sound corrupt to me.

Besides, dirty cop sounds cooler.

Good morning, @bo_sox48! Your enthusiasm got the better of you today.

mendax (321 )

This is more a problem with illogical lawmaking than overzealous policing, though that it undoubtedly a contributing factor.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
31 Dec 13 UTC

You're right krellin, I don't like cops. I have my reasons...

As for the law, how the hell does that make any sense at all and how does it not break other laws already in place?

Here's my problem: the driver obviously didn't do a very good job installing his "secret" compartment if he had wires clearly visible.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
31 Dec 13 UTC

It was probably his glovebox.

tendmote (100 )

HOLY SHIT WHAT OTHER THINGS COULD PEOPLE HIDE SHIT IN

Wires visible... Empty compartment... Sounds like someone was either installing or removing a subwoofer amp or CD changer. At least that is how I would argue it before the judge and then promptly file a civil suit against the PD, city/county and state for false arrest and imprisonment.

@bo - It said it was in his trunk, but the audio equipment is a perfectly valid explanation.

Of course, be careful, you could get arrested for not having your spare in your trunk and that being a "hidden compartment".

krellin (80 )

bo - I don't like cops either, and I have my reasons as well.

As for it making sense - of course it doesn't make sense, but the cop was enforcing the law - it's the law's fault, not the cop.

That being said, what prompted the cops to search the car sufficiently that they found a hidden compartment -- chances are the little darlings driving the car are not pure as the driven snow...

How many French speakers do we have here?

I have been and still am taking French for a few years in high school, but it's piss poor. I'm thinking about setting up a French-only game where I can enjoy a little Diplomacy while immersing myself in the language for a few minutes a day.
