For Libs only - cool article
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/article136940273.html

This is the story from Rachel Maddow a few days ago, talking about the Russian jet parked next to Trump's jet in Charlotte just before the election. The Russian is a billionaire, part owner of Bank of Cyprus. Of course, you recall that Wilbur Ross is an investor in the Bank of Cyprus. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe it's MURDERRRRRRRR!

Reliability Rating Determination
How is RR determined? As I figure it by NMR/Moves it should be 99. if by CD/Finished it should be 97. Either way it should be above 95. Even the average of the two would be 98. CD: 5. NMR / received: 46/4783
RR: 95% breakdown. Total (finished): 202

Why does life have value in your opinions?
Sorry if this is a weird question but I'm interested in hearing other's perspectives. Is it determined by their potential for happiness, intelligence, and/ or other talents? Does the value of someone's life fluctuate as they get older/ gain experience/ relationships, and/ or based on their actions? Are human lives worth more than other animals and if so why? Does a life inherently have value? Discuss.

Why do veterans get a "public option" for services at the VA?
With all the hospitals to choose from, isn't it wasteful to prop up the VA which is so fraught with problems? Conservatives, you hated the public option when the ACA was being legislated. Why is it ok for veterans? Is it just welfare for conservatives?

Known World 901
Is the Known World 901 map no longer available? It shows on the variant page, but you can't create a game with it.
Hauta (1618 D(S))
03 Mar 17 UTC
I thought I heard it was buggy or something.
The code for Known World is corrupted and would cause long term problems if we left it on the site. As such, creating new games for that variant has been disabled. It won't be reinitialized in the near future, if ever. Once the games currently in process finish, there won't be any KW games going on here any longer.

If you want, you can still play it on vDiplomacy, however.

The problems specifically were related to the order logs not being accessible due to how neutral units were coded and the fact that the way unit transforms were hacked to work was not cleanly done and could cause various problems in future games. There are some options we're looking into in regards to getting a cleaner version coded, but those will take some time to explore.

Thank you very much for the response! I've heard it's a good map, but have never had the opportunity to play it.

Yes.
@yavuzovic
We don't currently know when or if the code of Known World will be fixed.

@curupira
You can transform a fleet to/from an army on any coastal centre, whether controlled by you or someone else.

If you're game-restricted on vDip, you can post in the modforum and ask to be unrestricted again. The setting was decided to be too harsh some time ago, but Oli (the dev) hasn't been around for some time so we can't actually get the code changed.

Looking for a decent game (RR96%)
I'm looking to join a game with players that will actually play. I haven't played for a couple of years and was quickly reminded why I stopped when in Autumn 01 3 people failed to submit orders in my first game back. My RR is 96% (I'm still ashamed it's not 100% - I CD'ed once before RR was visible and didn't know it would negatively affect my stats). I prefer to play classic. Other than that, I'm not too bothered on rules or phase length. Also, I love players that "ready" often.
