What did/will you do on your 18th birthday? Is it as overrated as sweet 16s?
Discuss.

Basically, the game was an abysmal failure. Would we like to try again with a better version?

Edgar Hoover...and that's not a bad pick...nor are Andrew Jackson for the Democrats, or Richard Nixon for the Republicans. So--Most Evil American...and why not, Most Evil Brit? (PLEASE NOT DUBYA BUSH *OR* OBAMA...let's avoid that partisan cliche and allow history more time to judge both, eh?)

For those of you unfamiliar, the statement comes from a scene in Glengary Glen Ross: http://tinyurl.com/bkyyzlb . Basically it's about how if you want to do something, do it, and about not feeling entitled. I also recently read an article on Cracked which I will link here: http://bit.ly/1epy3r8 . So, how do you guys feel about the message of the speech and the article? Agree? Disagree? Kittens over Mittens? Please discuss.

I'll take on the GM role alone initially but I would love to have a co-GM if anyone is interested in that.

Happy Holidays from the WebDip Team!

Today I got an email granting me an extension on paying for my first term in college I'm not going to go into details but literally 2 hours ago I was convince I wouldn't returning to school. Now I know for sure I am. This gives me absolute faith in humanity and reaffirms my choice in schools.

What good does this do? How many people are they expecting to get killed?

Here is a thread made
for those composing haikus.
Tankas are cool too.

To everyone already in 2015!

I don't hate the holidays, but I do hate cancelling games

I don't have access to jDip and similar right now, and am not quite sure.
Suppose Italy does: A Tri-Vie; A Tyr S Tri-Vie; A Ser-Bud;
And Austria does: A Vie-Tri; A Bud-Tri;
Does Bud end up in Tri and Ser in Bud, or will they stay where they are?

So Sony is pulling this movie, in the face of massive damage, terrorist threats, and theater chains pulling out. I imagine the movie sucks, but I think this is a terrible outcome. Speech has been suppressed by sheer intimidation. Thoughts?

Looking for a group of dedicated players committed to play the game to its end. All welcome.

Design flaw or brilliant addition?

Japan has toilets with seat warmers, and will shoot a jet of water up your ass if you press a button. Japan also has one of the lowest birthrates in the world. Coincidence?

the year is finalizing and the awards has come in so we can get an idea of who's who in 2014.

Recently, I have been filling out lots of forms. During this process, I have discovered a rather disturbing fact. Apparently, I do not have an ethnicity, nor even a race sometimes. In these forms many ethnicities are listed, from Aleut to Vietnamese. But while many small islands or island groups are present, I can't find Eastern European, or even Caucasian! Why is it that these are not considered of equal value to list as Samoan, or Guamanian?

Is it possible to go back to see older PM's once your current PM's fill up the Private Messages column in the opened Notices screen?

Deja Vu?

Hey yall!

No one in Japan has guns. Japan has very few homicides. Japan has almost zero instances of police brutality. I have only heard one police siren since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?

Hi again!

Domino's Pizza here in Japan is incredibly expensive. A single large pizza from Domino's is nearly 4,000 yen, which is about $35 in the US. Japan has very few obese people. Japan has almost zero instances of bloating before bedtime. I have only seen one person the size of a sumo wrestler (my dad) since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?
