So the other day I came upon this video by CGP Grey about automation and the future of humanity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU
So, how do you feel about the increasing automation in our world? Relieved? Terrified? Unsure? And what is humanity to do about it?

Here goes....

I found the thread, but it is locked. Final standings? Where the prizes given out?

Join up! Not enough mid-point games going on.

20 hour turns for the OCD people like me.

Please consider joining this game - Seven days between movements...A leisurely pace...

I need this for the glossary:

I'm new to both Diplomacy and webDiplomacy, so I'm having a hard time figuring out the support-hold and support-move system. I have a rough understanding of how it works just based off the tutorials I've been watching online on the game, and reading through the basic rules, but I CANNOT figure out how to order units to support-hold and support-move, which order I need to command the units in order for the support command to be available and such. more>

thanks!

I understand that I will lose the points, but how do I withdraw from a game. I have two going and I accidently signed up for the game Diplomacy20 with first moves to be submitted tonight. I am already involved in the games Drawn Out and August Rumble, but I don't want to play in a third simultaneously at this time.

Thanks.

Lacking in games.... Anyone up for another 7 gunboat series?

Are there six other people interested in a 7 game tournament? I'm thinking classic rules, WTA, 7 games of 10 each, two day turn interval.

What do you folks think of ideology? Should everyone have one? Does everyone have one without knowing it? Should a person be ideologically consistent?

So I've had a problem getting onto the site on my phone. Details to follow:

i wrote you an email last friday and haven't got an answer yet. does answering usually take that long?

Hey forum, so my last game finished and a ceded my spot in the ghost rating tournament so that someone else can play. But now I find myself short of games and looking for a challenge. Anyone feeling up to a highstake game?

Just so much awesome in 26 episodes and 2 seasons. Kevin spacey, is excellent. any complaints are trumped by the pure excellence of every other aspect of the series.

Add to this:
For every SC you gain or lose - 1 drink.
Support the wrong unit - 2 drinks.
Send a global message - everyone drink

In honor of Solzhenitsyn, how about an August 1914 set? I liked the format of the GR challenge from last month, so I am proposing the same ...

one is classic, the other one is modern, 48 and 24 hour phases.

What are your memories of, or thoughts on, the pivot from the 1960's to the 1980's?

(Nevermind the 1970's, they were just more 1960's, with a hangover.)
