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

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.

A little help from my friends

See inside.....

ssorenn (0 )
15 Sep 15 UTC

To all my Webdip friends,

I'm looking for a little help and I know this reaches people all over the world. I getting involved in a company, and they are looking to acquire high end craftbrews/microbrew companies that already are positive cash flow. They/we are looking for some of the best and brightest Brewers that already have developed a niche within their own morse climate. We are NOT looking to help struggling businesses. In an ideal world, we would want the proprietors to stay with the company because they made it a success,or at very least the management team to stay. Some of these people have gone as far as they can, and our company can help them reach the next level. If anyone knows of some companies please feel free to PM me or respond here and I will contact you

If you don't know anyone, and are a craft/micro brew drinker, a shout out to your favorite local beer would be great too. Please tell me the area it comes from if you decide to list.

Hey now, I asked a completely legit question.

ghug (5068 )
15 Sep 15 UTC

And I voiced a legitimate concern, albeit snarkily. One of my favorite breweries was purchased by "the man" this year. Expanding production and changing ownership would change the beer. How much autonomy would the brewers retain?

ssorenn (0 )
15 Sep 15 UTC

Don't want the ownership to change in my model. The ones who created the beer should keep doing so.

ssorenn, the problem here is that you are trying to appeal to a bunch of anti-capitalist twats to help fulfill both your and the capitalist ambition of the micro-brewers (who have already demonstrated their positive ambitions by becoming cash-flow positive).

Maybe the problem is he's appealing to true capitalists who won't lift a finger to help a friend without a finder's fee : )

Krellin, I'm being selfish like a good capitalist. I don't want a product I like to get worse. I'm willing to change that opinion for money.

Ssorenn's asking for handouts in the form of information. He's the freeloading socialist.

ghug (5068 )
16 Sep 15 UTC

They're discontinuing medical entirety soon, so it should get a bit better, but basically they gave out all the grower licenses and no vendor licenses when they legalized it, so there's way more product than can be sold and most of it just ends up back in the illegal market where it was in the first place. Colorado scaled the licenses properly and the businesses are thriving.

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?
