Possible Multi account?
I don't think it is right to post the game id, but in one of my games, each player in the ancient med is attacking me. I tried to contact all of them separately 3 times each, and they haven't responded. If that's not enough, they all have the same name, and are logged on at the same time. Thanks!

Favorite Sports Moments
Just a fun little topic...give a few of your favorite sporting moments you've watched or, if you're lucky enough to have actually played, played in your lifetime.
The moments that are just sheer euphoria...and possibly can be YouTubed so we can see how awesome it was (particularly intersted in what our European friends have to say, since I don't know any of those leagues or moments...) :D

@ draug: so, sitting for long periods of time = sport? do you consider education to be a sport? students spend years sitting in classrooms, and they compete against one another.

I'm not sure where you draw the line of what is and isn't a sport, but i believe that if you can do something while eating and/or smoking, it doesn't make the cut.
no one cares about all your Big 10 teams that haven't won anything since Maurice Clarett wasn't an armed robber

LUFC's epic run in the Champions League before they financially imploded :(
Also liked their victory last year over Man U in the FA Cup. And England's victory in the Ashes over Australia last year. Sunderland's utter destruction of Chelsea last month was pretty great.
Eli Manning's pass to David Tyree in Superbowl XLII
As a Giants fan, that whole game is a miracle to me...beating the undefeated Patriots after an intense playoff run beating Tampa in Tampa, Dallas in Dallas, and Green Bay at a snow-covered Lambeau field when Favre was still good.

Vince Young and the Longhorns beating USC 41-38 for the 2005 national title in the Rose Bowl. I watched it at my brothers' house, and my niece was in bed, so we had to keep it down. That was very difficult.

@trip. I can eat, drink, and smoke while driving a car. Does that make auto racing not a sport? And students sit in a classroom for no more than 6-8 hours a day and no more than 2-4 hours in any given session. I've done 6 hours with just a brief restroom break, then a brief dinner break and back for another 6 hours before.

But I was just poking fun. I don't view poker as a sport. It is a game, and many sports are also games (baseball, football, American rules football, rugby, cricket, bowling) but, no, I don't really consider it a sport per se.
The definition of sport is one that nobody ever seems to be able to agree on.

The problem is that sport and game cross over in many places from big team sports like cricket/baseball/football/soccer to small team sport like volleyball/pairs tennis to individual sports like singles tennis/bowling, all of which are also games. Then there are some things that are clearly games that require physical skills that many argue are also sports like billiards. But poker is just a game. Big tournaments are also endurance based, but it's mental endurance versus physical as there is a lot of mental stress and being alert is key to making a deep run.

To me, if it requires physical skill, it's sport. If it requires mental, it is game. If it is some of both, then it is both. Track and field is just sport as the best physical specimen wins. Baseball is both as the pitcher and the catcher play a mental game with the batter on every pitch just as football pits strategy against strategy. Soccer, now, is more sport than anything. There is a certain awareness required, but not being a regular fan, I don't know if there is enough mental aspect to it to call it a game. And I feel much the same with bowling and golf. You just go out and do your best score each frame or hole. The mental aspects are only about how to pick up a spare or how to get out of a sandtrap.

But it is a very fine line making those decisions between being sport, game, or both.

@Putin: Oh, happy days for O'Leary's babies! Leeds might stand a chance of getting back into the Prem next season, which would be awesome.

And if England's Ashes win last year is up there, the current series could eclipse it! Hope Cooky and Strauss bot get big scores today to really rub it in. :-D

@FatherSnitch

Damn, Cook just went out..Only 32.

And yeah I think Leeds can get promoted this year although it'll be tough. They're narrowing the gap though and they have a big one this weekend with QPR.

This has got to be one of the most iconic moments in American sports history. Seriously. People who don't even know the context for this recognize it.

Best Kids movie
Doesn't have to be a cartoon, or CGI. Movie that you saw when you were a kid, movie that stands up well today, movie you use to hunt predators, anything goes.

To start things off with nostalgia, for me its definitely The Wizard of Oz, the Judy Garland version (in case there is another). Your thoughts?

The game was a 1 day/turn day, and the rest of us have already voted un pause. What can we do to resume the game? Is there any other way to unpause the game?

Purgatory, an example

How interesting... France has remained in this game for the past few years, but with only one SC (non-home) and zero units. So he's just waiting in purgatory until someone puts him out of his misery.

The Masters'
I am in the process of planning the 2011 Masters' tournament. The scoring system will be altered to give 4 D for a win, and one point for a draw.

I am considering awarding no points for draws with 5, 6 or 7 players. What are people's opinions on the idea?
