Bad luck on the world map...
Which countries is it unluckiest to be landed with playing gunboat on the World Diplomacy XI map? Surely some are especially awkward to deal with. I'm looking at you, Australia...

Is there anything that forum members know nothing about?
It seems that we have many experts on here, but I'd like to find out what we don't know. Post your topics to see if we can find something we all know nothing about. I'll start.

I know you should expect to be backstabbed in this game but I feel like im being backstabbed every time I make an "alliance". Is this normal and does anyone else feel like they are being backstabbed this often?

When the water in the ground suddenly freezes and causes a loud boom and shakes the ground. This was experienced widely outside of Toronto. Temperature hovering at 40°C

He did say "outside of Toronto" so he could be correct. Either way, -25C (-13F) is pretty fucking cold.

I lived in Toronto all my life and yes it has been that cold. Outside (north of) Toronto is what I said; meant. And don't forget the wind chill factor
Draugnar (0 DX)
04 Jan 14 UTC
Wind chill doesn't affect the ground. It is only living animals, particularly those with am external cooling system that relies on air movement. That's why wind chill is also referred to as "feels like" because your body is cooled by the wind quicker than in no wind. Just like in the summer when a "cool breeze" feels so good. The breeze isn't colder air, it just helps your body exchange the heat better by evaporating the sweat from your skin and drawing heat away.

A joke? A JOKE? I don't get it...
@Yonni - blowing snow has caused all roads in and out of Listowel to be closed since middle of night last night. Barriers are up and everything is stuck. My car has not been used since Saturday night, it is completely invisible save for a mound of snow in my driveway. Walked home from work takes about 5 minutes and I am pretty sure my cheeks got minor frostbite. It is cold as fuck, but it is also jokes as fuck.

On Jan 6, it was -49 C with the wind chill. Out on the prairies, we know the difference between cold and F'ing Cold. When it gets to -30ish or colder, try flinging warm water from a cup up into the air and watch the ice crystals fall. Right now it's in the -20's and people are talking about how warm it is.

I haven't experience frost quakes but I have heard cracking noises from the ground stress-cracking open after a sudden cold snap, around -25.

And in England, it's flooding. Beautiful weather all around.

What is lamer than people who join but don't move?
I am new to this web based forum, but holy cow is there anything than people who don't move? I mean for crying out loud, you have 12 hours! to figure out what to do and, nope, can't be bothered! Yeah, it kind of wrecks the game for everyone else when the neighbor of the lamehead grows too strong too fast, but whatevs.

And joining a live game minutes before then simply doing limp? WTF?

The People's Choice--Facebook's Top 5 Great Authors...by Likes--Thoughts?
At least from my searching for them on the pages with the most likes to their name...leaving aside the J.K. Rowlings, Stephenie Meyers, And Stephen Kings--Shakespeare (surprise!) ranks 1st with 6.8 million, Maya Angelou (surprise...?) is 2nd with over 4 million, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is 3rd with over 3 million, Fyodor Dostoyevsky ranks 4th with 1 million, and Jane "Life Begins at Man and Gossipy Bickering" has 900K. ...Thoughts on what that says about our popular choice in classic authors?

Player needed

Anon, 50 point buy-in, 2 day phases. This group has played several games with each other, but we need someone to fill in one spot. Post here if you're interested. This is a pretty good group, so the games have been pretty challenging (we haven't seen a solo yet). As long as you don't have any CDs, I'll PM the password to the first interested player.

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.
