Writing a book
Has anyone here written a book? Once I finish another project I am working on, I am mulling over writing a biography of a secondary figure from the early American Republic. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with publishing a manuscript before.

Rule question! Retreat edition!
Just looking for a quick reminder (I'm still working the rust out of my long absence). If Austria's Vienna Army supports its Army in Bohemia to Tyrolia and Italy moves its Tyrolia army to Bohemia, can an Austrian Army dislodged from Silesia retreat to Bohemia?

id like to see ravens win

:)
Alright, games this week are going to be a lot closer to call than previously. Let's see...

Jets @ Bills - The Bills have been stalling as of late. A win this week is just what they need. Sadly, Revis island won't let them have it. JETS
Seahawks @ Cowboys- can the Cowboys lose just as badly as the Giants did? Probably not. COWBOYS for the win.
Browns @ Texans - TEXANS will walk right over the Browns
Falcons @ Colts - those poor, poor colts. Nothing going right for them. FALCONS
Dolphins @ Chiefs - the CHIEFS follow up a nice MNF win.
Buccs @ Saints - this is a tough call, but I think the SAINTS will edge the Buccs.
49ers @ Redskins - The Redskins defense is not the same unit that started the year, nor is their offense. 49ERS
Broncos @ Raiders - I think the RAIDERS should handle Tebow nicely
Bengals @ Titans - both equally matched units, but I say the BENGALS take the day.
Rams @ Cardinals - Which one is worse? Cardinals by far. RAMS win.
Giants @ Patriots - good lord, my girlfriend will kill me, but I say GIANTS win (in reality though, they probably won't, but as a fan I have to vote for them. Kinda like that superbowl. You go in say "YEAH GIANTS" but in the back of your mind you're saying "No fucking way they'll win.)
Packers @ Chargers - If San Diego can't handle the Chiefs, then I don't think they can handle the Packers. It will be close though PACKERS.
Ravens @ Steelers - I can never call these games right, but I think that the RAVENS are the better team (for the sole reason that they have Ray Rice)
Bears @ Eagles - EAGLES go on top of the Bears

Big game of the week has to be ravens @ steelers- hard to call

Anyone here think bengals have an
Outside chance of a wildcard?
SacredDigits (102 D)
04 Nov 11 UTC
Oh, the Bengals definitely have a chance at a wildcard. They've been the most consistent AFC North team.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFm3FiVzhhk&feature=share
I think the Bengals will get a wildcard...so long as they go .500 against the Steelers and Ravens. If not, it will be tough
Putin33 (111 D)
05 Nov 11 UTC
Bengals have one win against a team with a winning record (:( Bills). And they managed to lose to the Broncos. I'm undecided. I thought the Steelers would be the odd man out but they look decent right now. Who knows.

Go 49ers!

Most underates defence in the league
How can SF be the most underrated defense? Heading into today's games, SF has the #1 scoring defense, #1 rushing defense, #10 total yardage defense, #7 in sacks, #7 in interceptions. SF defense gets plenty of props, it's the offense that is below-average.
Wow, well I officially give up on calling anything. Dolphins dominated the Chiefs, who saw that coming?
Rascal (100 D)

I did! 6 out of 7 so far. :)

A couple of questions about American courts.
In the UK, when a jury has a verdict the judge asks them what the verdict is and they say it out loud. In the 'States, once a jury reaches a verdict, they write it down on a piece of paper and hand it to the judge, He or she reads it and then hands it back and someone in the jury reads it out.

Why do they hand it to the judge first? What does this achieve?

Probably not new game play idea, maybe for tourneys
Is there a tourney here that we could do a Triple vs Triple deal with a rogue Italy? I think if we have enough players that would be a fun thing to do. I think best would be 7 players or 49. Could be fun. Let me know if anyone is interested or has a way to make it a better idea.
