Only 60 points? That's a great buy in. Usually a ton of CD takeovers will double the pot buy the time the game ends. This buy in range is a very good return on your investment - if you can last to the end.

Also, 20 hours still gives you plenty of diplomacy time.

Well, it is obviously not my post because it says "TheClark" at the top.

Did you learn that in PhD school?

Oh. A smartass. Do you want a cookie? (sarcastically referring to the food)

Seriously, though, did you learn that at the major accredited university at which you wrote a dissertation on aerodynamics so general it could be titled "Aerodynamics and Airplanes" without changing the field so drastically that I haven't heard of it?

He's so smart, he even told us that it was the food he was talking about.
Most logical people would assume that it was the food and not, say, an internet cookie

that was an odd remark, I must say. That's a very common phrase used in its proper context...it should not have needed to be pointed out.

Maybe he thought we were too stupid to realize he was being sarcastic

Diplomat1824: Sorry for the name dropping. I really feel you're a bit unfairly knocked about whenever you try to communicate in the this forum.

However, Now your are, well, a phpdiplomacy forum legend. Any thread that mentions your name is a run away waste of time. The funny thing is - none of the post to this thread mention the game advertised what so ever. Except your post - of course. Now you have a flock of herpes that follow your every movement. I hope you just ignore them. Say what you will and response only to those people that you feel you can respect and leave it at that. You've got a decent point total. Work on that and stay away from the forum for a while. When you've got several thousand points then you're a made man on this site. I disagree with your thoughts of retiring. Hope I am forgiven for the name drop. It has kept my announcement at the top of the threads tonight and thanks to your crew of persecutors we have a certified waste of time on our hands.

Cheers!

diplomat posts ARE a waste of time...
