It's time to laugh your asses off!
I believe I have found THE most absurdly stupid website on the internet: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=1324.0

Their logic is just so dumb at times, it deserves a facepalm.

Bug in webdiplomacy?
In our game (after Autumn) the Austrian has to give retreat orders, although he has nowhere to retreat to ánd above he has no sc's left.

Is it possible to check if there is only one option for a retreat, process that one option and move to next phase?

I thought of a cool kind of thing...that has probably already been thought of and maybe is already in action.

Bohemia Rhapsody
I'd just like to thank all that were in it and gracefully paused as my computer's motherboard (actually my back-up computer, same model, Dell XPS M1330, never going to buy another Dell again. My own computer had a motherboard crash about a week ago, then I switched to my sister's). Anyway, thanks for canceling, now I'mma buy a Lenovo! Anybody recommend any other brands/models of Lenovo?

Italian Strategy - why is it always the same?
When I play games, the Italian player always insists on attacking Austria right from the start, or allying Austria against Turkey. Why is it so rare to see an attack on France? In games I play, everyone seems to take it for granted and Italy and France will be neutral to each other - a metagame which sets up for a mighty attack by Italy on France in 1902. Are there deep reasons why this is rare that I don't understand?

I'd like a game where all of you proffessional players can come and kick my ass. And, I'll make it a live gunboat. You all can let me know when you want it to happen.

France, land of the french...
'The tax increase came after some of France's wealthiest people had called on the government to tackle its deficit by raising taxes on the rich.'

i somehow doubt you would see this in America.

Pro-tip: when in doubt, throw the food out
I gave myself food poisoning by eating some mushrooms yesterday that I knew were questionable but decided to risk (thankfully, I'm smart enough that I insulate my kids from my bad personal decisions, they didn't eat any). Poison control (which is free, I'm uninsured, so I have to do what I can) says that I should be out of the woods in a day or two, until then, I'll be less coherent than usual, if possible, and likely not on as much.

Earthquake
So I'm reclining at home, reading The Princess Bride, when I feel my bed shake like nothing before. It felt like a wild animal was trapped underneath me. I come online, and what do I find out? The east coast was rocked by an earthquake! Anyone have thoughts on this?

Game still paused
So I sent an email to the moderator but one of my games is STILL paused and one of the players hasn't been on in two weeks so we can't get a unanimous vote to cancel it, unpause it, or whatever. Does anyone know what else I could try to get out of this game?

Public notice - hurricane coming
I just wanted to let everyone know that I might be knocked offline this coming weekend. A Cat 3 hurricane is expected to pass through my area on Friday so if you don't see me either on the forum or my turns pass without my input, that's why and I apologize ahead of time.

Thanks. My family and I should be alright. Our house was built in '06 so it was after the newest hurricane standards that came on in '01 as a result of Andrew several years before that. Still, life without electricity really sucks! Especially on my birthday weekend!

@ Monkey I'm in 9 different games right now. I figured it would be easier to do a global announcement in the forum versus 9 different announcements in the game. If you don't like my announcement, then don't read it. Simple as that!

Ohhhhhh. Makes sense. When I lived in Colombia our power was off more often then it was on too. A common thing for third world nations I guess.

You may want to consider getting a sitter who knows to enter moves for you if you do not send him/her a message at prearranged intervals. Then you do not have to worry about missing turns.

I'll keep an eye on the progress of the storm and will do that if it looks like a probability. Thanks for the idea.

@MonkeyGuy - Maybe we should call you AssMonkeyGuy.

@FirstApple - Good Luck. You might want to put in a puase request in those games where you can. This is one of those unforeseeable's everyone should honor.

@Thucy - I figured out your secret lie...
FirstApple (100 D(B))

@Draugner - that's an idea too. Like I said, I'll monitor and then make a decision closer to Friday. At least I have all week to prepare.

Aye. Katrina/Rita/Gustav veteran here. Hide ya gas, hide ya generators, hide ya fresh water too 'cause you never can tell sometimes.

Then again, you're from Florida, you probably have more experience with hurricanes than me. Good luck! I hope things aren't too bad.

We lose power all the time here because we're on a bad circuit...there's actually a class action suit we're doing with the power company about it. But I haven't had to live without for more than two days.

That's enough to know that life without power sucks. Good luck.

@abge You guys would do that for me? Wow, thanks. Like I said, I'll keep everyone posted. As of right now, they're saying it's going to pass by right off the coast but every time they update, the projection gets closer and closer.
FirstApple (100 D(B))

Update - so far the predictions are now taking the storm to my east and up to Carolina. Though I hate it for them, I am appreciative that it now appears the storm may potentially not come this way, at least not directly.

Good luck with the hurricane... as a 14-year old veteran from disaster areas (flooding, hurricane/typhoon, earthquake, etc. I somehow catch them every time for the last 11 times I moved... most of the time cross continent... just my bad luck), I hope you make it through with a smile on your face... :P :D
