So How Does This "Football" Of Yours WORK, World?
I can't escape this World Cup thing... my Bio professor (like a lot of my good professors I've had) is from another land he's football-mad, every second that's not about Bio is a joke or about how awesome football is, how he used to love playing goalie... but I DON'T GET IT! I mean, most of the games so far have been TIES- why is this so popular? (How does this game even WORK? A clock counting up, all these rules...?) Football lovers- explain? :)

A Game With Teams (Europe Map)
I'm experimenting with a new game where there are three main teams, and the center nations are going to be England (Allies), Russia (Communist), and Germany (Axis). If you want to join a team, you have to ask them in private and declare them on the global chat if they say yes. They also have to confirm it on Global Chat.

No Backstabbing
Anyone interested in a game where you have to declare war on someone before you move into his/her territories (both SCs and Non-SCs) three hours before the turn end and 30 minutes before you finalize your orders? You are going to be in an alliance with someone, you also have to declare it.

Obama's Coast Guard HALTS Oil Spill Clean-up Effort
http://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spill-gov-bobby-jindals-wishes-crude/story?id=10946379

I don't even know what to think. It appears Obama - by allowing his coast Guard (He is commander in Chief) to halt an effective clean-up effort - wants (or at least is allowing) the destruction to be worse. Thoughts?

DONATE TO HELP CURE CANCER!!!!!

OK. We already had one thread. Everyone took it in stride, we discussed it and many people donated.

I don't see the need for you to post this again.
superman98 (118 D)
18 Jun 10 UTC
rlumley, shut the fuck up. Your not a mod, so don't act like one.

And only 1 person donated and the other one turned into some retarded debate.

You do double, even triple threads all the time. Little hippocritical for you to say that. (pardon spelling, i'm tired)
You're lucky to get one person to donate superman. Your cause is worthy, but you're going about it the wrong way. There are better ways to get donations. Putting up forums on webdiplomacy.net isn't one of them. If someone is willing to donate money to help cancer research, then they'll find a way to do it. This is unnecessary.

And you know only one person donated how?

I have no problem with the multiple threads but your assumption only one person donated makes you a giant douche.
superman98 (118 D)
18 Jun 10 UTC
Draugnar-

Actually, I made the fucking donations box. It tells me who donated. 1 person from webdip did (although playdip was much more generous. Surprise Surprise.)

It was abgement (i think i spelled his name right...idk)

So making assumptions like you makes you a giant douche.
krellin (80 DX)

@superman - a couple of us were seeking verification of the type of research involved. I have your donation link bookmarked.

@rlumley - God, you are just the eternal troll, aren't you. Is it your life's goal to just hop from one thread to the other being an asshole? Never have anything positive or constructive to add....just out there showing what a douschebag you truly are on one thread after another.
superman98 (118 D)
18 Jun 10 UTC
verification for what?

It's the fucking Institution for Cancer Research. Their entirely credible.

I quote from the charities' description:

"The Institute of Cancer Research
Charity Registration No. X90004


The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) is one of the world's top cancer research organisations and the only one in Europe directly involved in all stages of cancer research, from genetics through to drug development.
The ICR's unique partnership with The Royal Marsden Hospital forms Europe's largest cancer research centre and ensures that discoveries made in the ICR's laboratories are swiftly translated into treatment and care for those affected by cancer.

The Institute of Cancer Research has been leading the way in the fight against cancer for a hundred years and we are making some truly exciting breakthroughs.

It was the ICR that first noticed the suspected link between smoking and cancer. It was the ICR that first recognized that all cancers are genetic. It is the ICR that is now identifying hundreds of genes that contribute to the development of cancer. And it is the ICR that is developing new drugs to target the genetic causes of many different types of cancer.

Having been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the history of cancer research, the ICR’s world-leading scientists work tirelessly to continue making progress in the ongoing fight against cancer, but they need your help now, and in the future, to realise their ultimate goal: to see an end to cancer as a life threatening disease."

End quote.

That enough credibility for you to trust it?

If you recall, the discussion was about embryonic stem cell research, which some of us oppose, and we wanted to know if it was involved in this particular research. But "it's the fucking..." isn't a way to convince me, bro. I empathize, but I also will not compromise my values.

A) I donated so your a giant douche.
B) Nothing about your donation process asks where you came from and I used an email address not attached to this account so you couldn't possibly have figured out who I was making you an asshat.
C) Many here are also on the facebook site so where you figured out a facebooker that may well have been a webDipper too making you a cocksucker.

In conclussion, I've proven you are a cocksucking asshat and a giant douche.
superman98 (118 D)
18 Jun 10 UTC
1.A.) You just donated....I checked this morning. So your a douche.
2.B.) If you look at the name, "abagement" donated. an49 and Crunkleton are from playdip. Again, you just donated.
3.C.) I haven't asked any "facebookers". again, 2 people donated from playdip, 1 from webdip, and then you donated just now so now 2 webdip.

It's my fucking donation site, I think I know what goes on, Draugass.

Oh Christ. Come on. Leave him alone you fucking morons. So maybe he didn't go about it EXACTLY how you fucking wanted. Maybe he made a few assumptions you didn't like. Jumping down his throat doesn't make you look any better. You guys all look like a bunch of dicks right now.

In conclusion I would like to say that I would love to donate but have no job or money. Good luck, though.

For the record I haven't really read this thread and in no way have been serious (as far as I can remember) in posting here. Oh, yeah, and I'm broke or else I would definitely be donating...based on my family I'm probably going to have cancer at least once in my life, so hurry up and donate more guys.

7. Do not spam the forum or private messaging system.

There is no purpose in making two threads on the same subject, no matter how worthy or otherwise the cause. You may bump a previous thread.


"(although playdip was much more generous. Surprise Surprise.)"

"2 people donated from playdip, 1 from webdip"

Overstated case, much? We know you prefer playdip, and we disagree with you, but please stop being so disagreeable.

TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

And I wish that people wouldn't make more than one for live games. Its better to bump the previous thread.

I'm not crucifying anyone for making a second thread.
Octavious (2701 D)

Yeah, but two threads on the same totally undiplomacy related topic is a tad annoying. Especially when they're pretty much dedicated to saying how heartless we all are for not donating to his charity of choice. I didn't come here to give money to charity. I came here to be insulted and ridiculed for my poor diplomacy and centre right opinions!
Jack_Klein (897 D)

Yeah, passive-aggressive post is passive-aggressive.

Yes, cancer is a worth cause. However, what you're doing is roughly the same as a bum calling me an asshole because I don't give him a couple bucks.

Yes, cancer is tragic. Add it to the fucking list of bad things that happen to good people. Trying to guilt people into donating, and then being an asshole to the same group of people because they didn't donate as much as some other group of people is just classless.

I was going to donate ten bucks (I'm a broke student), but since you're going to pull the asshole card, I'm going to spend it on liquor instead.

Classics
I'm studying to be a classics major and was wondering if anyone else on the boards has studied/ is studying Latin or Greek. Personally, I intend the first major works that I read in either language to be the epic poems (working on the Iliad right now!). What about you? (and if there are any veteran classicists stalking these forums, do you have any resources to recommend or advice to offer? Thanks!)

Penalty for CDing.
I am sure this has been brought up before, but there really needs to be a harsher penalty for people who go into civil disorder. It completely ruins the game. If if the penalty was 2x or 3x the bet maybe people wouldn't leave the game the moment things go against them.

Ancient Med is a bad map.
I recommend avoiding this board for diplomacy because it is particularly ill suited to regular diplomacy albeit alright for gunboat. The problem is that due to having only 5 players, a first turn full trust alliance can brute force the game regardless of what the other players do and that is sort of a problem.
