The Republican Circ--er, Debate
Been a while since I've done this, but why not--

The (main) Republican debate is ongoing right now, will end soon...Trump, Carson, Bush, Fiorina, Rubio, Paul, Walker, Christie, Huckabee, Cruz and Kasich--who stood out, who took a dive, and who are the big winners and losers tonight? (Based on performance, NOT on who you agree with.)

Tell me a bed time story.
I want to hear a story about points. I see people with upwards of 3,000 D on here and I really don't get how that happens. There must be something of which I am unaware. I'm playing with other players of roughly my own level, which of course means I win some and I lose some. I really can't see so many people being so good that they always win so much. Are they not playing people at their level?

Need Some New Gunboats
My GBT games are finishing up, and while I'm thoroughly frustrated with their results, I need to sate my addiction. Requirements are that you not suck. I'm not that great at gunboat though, so that mostly means know what you're doing and how a stalemate line works. Sing up for as many or as few as you please. 5 point bets, anon, WTA, hidden draw.

Thank you for all you've done for webDip over the past several years. We did not always agree on policy, but I always respected the dedication and devotion you had for the site. Your passion and competency will not be easily replaced and you will certainly be missed. Please do come back after you've had a break and feel free to hit me up on the beach; retirement is nice.

So long, jmo, and thanks for all the banhammers.

You've done a good job and the site is in your debt. (Figuratively, I mean, unless zultar and kestas also owe you money, but I wouldn't know about that).

As a general nuisance at times, I'm aware that I've caused you administrative grief on more than one occasion and I hope you can forgive me for that. Thank you sincerely for all you've done to keep multis away, keep the forums (somewhat) civil, and generally contributing to this weird community. All the best.

Wow. The end of an era indeed. Thanks a lot jmo, for all you've done. I'm sure I would have left the modteam long ago - indeed, several times - if it wasn't for your insistence, competence and sheer stubbornness in keeping the site on the right course. It seems you thrive when the going gets tough, and it's been great to have been a part of that.

I hope you stay on the site for a long time to come (even if after a well-deserved hiatus), if only to put your money where your mouth is in terms of being such a good player ;-)

It'll be tough to find hosting as speedy as your brain though.

Can you actually solo without someone throwing the game?
I recently got my first solo in a non-live, full-press WTA game since 2010, but only because one player decided to throw me the game. Even at 17 centers, I could still have been stopped if everyone else worked together. This got me wondering: are there examples if high-quality games where somebody got a solo without being thrown one?

This was honestly a pretty cut-and-dry game for me. I can almost never say, but aside from small details, I wasn’t really once surprised by anything that happened in this game. I had fun, though, mostly because Austria-Turkey and England-Turkey are both fun alliances. EOG below.
