Who Likes Dr. Who, *Insert Pun On The Name "Who*, and Please--Explain?
An increasing number of friends of mine--and mostly the English and Theatre Majors, damn--have come to love this show and talk about it, and when I say don't watch it, the general response is "You love Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek an absurd amount, this should be the perfect show for you!" I've watcha couple of Tennant and Smtih's shows and...well, does anyone have suggestions, or explations?

Where have the philosophical threads gone?
Sup People,

Haven't been on this site since about october last year. All I remember on the forums are rampant philosophical debates that ran for pages and pages.

Grrr I wish I wasn't in that position I didn't want to draw with three people but I was in a awkward position with England one that if he played it right could of won. Although I dont know his intentions maybe we could of had a two-way draw.

The recent post on destiny in your own hands in Diplomacy (in the Why is diplomacy the best game ever? thread) got me thinking about an observation that's been brewing in the back of my mind. See post to follow.

Comment about FireFox and Plura and question about FireFox 4.0
When FireFox went from 3.5 to 3.6, Plura started stealing focus from the other elements of the webdip page, so I, and others, opted out of Plura. I thought I'd check to see if it was still a problem and opted back in with no ill results so far after a few weeks.

Google's new BETA is scary!
I didn't notice this one coming through, but there's a new Google beta that gives extra weighting to articles that are linked to your social group. As a result, whilst trying to find a proof that odd solutions to 2^n=7x^2+y^2 are unique, it gave me a paper by Kestas!

Sir Obi and the Brown Night (WHat Do You Expect, It's Dusty Here in LA County!)
The Arthurian Legend, and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" in particular, is my all-time favorite legend...and as Easter draws to a close--and Passover was earlier in the week--I was wondering: what are some of your favorite myths, legends, and folktales, what do they mean to you...and any chance you think they were true, at all?

Question for Putin33:
You're the only genuine communist I think I have ever encountered. Sure there are plenty of liberals who go "Communism! Aw....!" with big wet eyes, but very few of them are communists themselves. So my question is: what's so great about Communism?

Law writing in the middle of the night.
Does the First Amendment permit a law that makes it a crime to be a member of an identifiable “terrorist” organization, where that organization’s primary purpose is to engage in violent attacks? Why or why not?

Linking territories
I wonder:
How come Corsica is Italian at the start of the game, and not French. How come Sardinia and Crete never seem to be occupied. How come, Iceland is connected with the Clyde and changes color accordingly.

What do you guys think about a 3 min phase game, times would be cut in virtually half. Games go by much faster, almost puts pressure on the person to think quickly. Maybe shoot a message to Kestas and get a 3 min phase thing going here?

Another Minor Bug
In the world game, Saudi Arabia NC can support Saudi arabia to Med. heres the game: gameID=55515 24 hrs left in phase
A unit there can support itself into the Med?
mongoose998 (294 D)
29 Apr 11 UTC
no. that is the minor bug. The same is with St Petes NC can do that with Barents Sea, apparently it is an elusive bug that needs to be caught in the field
I'm not sure I'm understanding: The problem is that a unit cannot Support Move itself?
mongoose998 (294 D)
29 Apr 11 UTC
that is the problem.
Units cannot both move and support their own movements simultaneously. Another unit would be needed to support the movement.
mongoose998 (294 D)
29 Apr 11 UTC
yes. that is what i am saying
I'm saying that that isn't a bug. It's part of the rules. A single unit cannot move and support itself at the same time.
mongoose998 (294 D)
29 Apr 11 UTC
... Yes. that is true. In the game it offers to do that. which it shouldnt
What's being said is that you can order "The fleet at St. Petersburg [nc] support St. Petersburg to Barents Sea." Which... makes no sense.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
29 Apr 11 UTC
Ah, but the real game DOES allow you to order a unit to support itself. And that order fails.

This website differs from the actual game by restricting most, but not quite all, bogus orders. Not the reverse.
Okay, miscommunication. Sorry for hassling you mongoose.

@Al, in the real game there is no electric buzzer in the paper... so yea.
@That, no problemo
@All, in case the site wants to be more perfect

Actually that would make the site less perfect assuming perfection is precisely replicating the boardgame.

ukrain black sea moscow bug more important
Draugnar (0 DX)
29 Apr 11 UTC
As long as the move/support isn't successful, I'd say none of them are very important.
+1 Santa. I had a fleet in moscow, and was wondering why black sea was the only adjacent territory that I could move to, despite the coast continuing to Armenia and Ukraine.
