I'm working on some statistics reporting for webdip, and I'm interested in what the forum thinks: Are "Gunboat" games just games with no messaging, or are they games with no messaging that are also anonymous?

Lusthog history
Does anyone know where the Lusthog diplomacy variant came from? I can't find references to it outside of webdiplomacy- is it an in-house invention? Who gets the credit?

I believe our dearly departed Draugnar actually coined the phrase, if I recall correctly.
No, it was trip.

So the current games have the creator of the variant in them? That's pretty cool.

Trip actually had all the Lusthogs in his profile at one point but looks like he got rid of them.

Sounds like an excellent article for the next issue of the Velvet Glove!

Let me put a little thought in to that abge. I think it could be combined with general gunboat strategy/tactics to make a nice story.

Trip, you should write that article! I'd love to read it.

From FMJ? I didn't know he was part of the creation

Besides viewing the movie, I had nothing to do with it. I just figured it was a fitting name being that the varient would allow leaders to lustfully hog centers without the worry of smaller powers using the draw vote, and not movements, to align against him/her...and I really like both the book and movie.

Do you find that the Lusthog variant is more likely to lead to solos or draws?

And, in the case of draws, are they more likely to be large or small draws?
trip (696 D(B))
28 Jun 15 UTC
More solos. What it really fixes is game that have 4 or 5 equal lowers in 1912ish drawing because no one sees a clear path to the solo.
trip (696 D(B))
28 Jun 15 UTC
Powers, not lowers

@trip: Thanks for answering that. Interesting to note. It'll be interesting to discuss this in relation to Lusthog Games 23 and 25 when they're done.

Rainbow facebook friends
so, i have looked through my friendlis and out of around 98 people, i only have 2 people who have rainbow picks. I am in the center of utah in a community of around 70% mormons, so mine is probably way lower than average. I want to compare it to how off from the usual it is, so how many rainbow friends do you have?

Radicals vs ?
A recent conversation made me look once more at what i think of politics...

Also i have a clear idea in my head if what a radical is, but what is their opposite? A non-radical? A (small c) conservative? A compromiser?
