Question for Euro-Zone people
How does the whole soveriegn debt fiasco look from your point of view?

I know that people from Europe sometimes find it baffling how the safety net is much weaker in the US than in their home nations, but I think we here find the level of tax evasion, bribery, and corruption in the southern tier nations equally baffling....

NMR's and CD's
The hating must stop. Embrace NMR's and CD's..

After all nations NMR and CD in real life. Consider a single example: the French. They basically NMR'd their first turn of WWII. Then when the going got tough because they forgot to move, they basically CD'd just because the nazi's were in Paris. Did that mean Britain lobbied for a draw or a cancel? Hell no.

One could say that the Vietnam War was the VC trying to push past the established stalemate line until South Vietnam finally CD'd and the US was sick of putting on support holds.

Only two outraged replies and one in agreement? I thought for sure my thinly veilled sarcasm would generate more hatemail than that.. Comon people.. Britain had to have been pissed at France, and they didn't even have the option of stabbing for an extra SC.

To be fair to France, during Napoleon's reign they were the only country turning in orders, but once they got to 17 centers, they NMR'd for the next century.

Leif, that is a great and funny analysis of the "Strange Defeat." My wife and I are currently watching the old "Winds of War" miniseries, and saw the infuriating fall of France just last night.

I love NMRs and CDs. Both my wins hinged strongly on them :)

Seriously, quit crying for the following reasons:

1: for every player that CDs, your chances of winning or obtaining a better score increase (yeah, I know it can totally screw any given game, but think big picture)

2: when you get good enough to play good players, you won't have to worry about it: until you've proven you can compete at that level, you really have no right complaining about your "skill peers."

I will say that I have had plenty of friends in face to face get too drunk to really play, have a girlfriend/wife bitch at them to leave etc .... so at least let's not pretend that CDs only happen online

I don't like winning because someone quit. I like winning because, in addition to use of strategy and tactics, I convinced six people to let me win (probably not in those same words.)
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
17 Sep 11 UTC
True, true, Emperor. That's why I made point #2 ;P If you aren't playing against people who won't quit (i.e. you're not betting more than 100 per game) then you really haven't earned the right to complain about the skill level or lack of interest of your competitors. Until you can separate yourself from the chaff, you just gotta suck it up, take advantage when you can, and sigh when you can't.

No Joke, this is a quote from a facebook arguement I am in
I will support Zack's decision to enter into the dangerously racist field of biology, despite the fact that reason and logic certainly have no place in the future socialist empire of equality and freedom which we will fight for and inherit, despite our low-birthrate and poor schooling. We will survive!

New Game/Leaving
As my semester increases in difficulty I am faced with a question. Should I take a break from dip? My answer is yes, but after one more game. Hoping to get some of my classic opponents, but there is nothing wrong with new people :)
I'm thinking WTA, anon, somewhere around 100 D for entry, 24 to 48 hour phases. Any Interest?

Winter gunboat tourney: Group A
Some fucking son of a bitch playing with France, France and Austria in games 1, 2 & 3was moving but not pausing. I guess he just liked to get France... He/She should be thrown out of the tourney, there is proper players waiting to get a place.

Statistics
Does anyone know a website that has relatively recent Diplomacy statistics for things like victories, defeats, draws, opening moves, etc? I've recently re-read The Game of Diplomacy and am curious to see if any of the statistics that Sharp quoted have dramatically changed, but a cursory google search failed to find anything productive. Is there a database for statistics from this website? The 25,000+ games is a huge potential data set.
