SHAKESPEARES AND EINSTEINS OF WEBDIP--DEFEND THE HONOR OF YOUR FIELD!
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=73825 We've had some fun, friendly Field vs. Field fracases...so it's time to take it to the next level--a WebDip invitational! :) Bio Majors, Physics Folks, Mathematicians, Literaturists (I'm stealing that one, abgemacht! lol) come for the discourse, stay for the 50 and the honor of your Discipline...and may the "Most Worthy" (Nerdy?) Discipline Win!
Set 2 hours from now, the game "Old School Diplomacy" will begin. All of the ORIGINAL rules from Avalon Hill's Diplomacy apply, so come in if your feeling up for some classic play. No passwords and all out diplomatic discussion is allowed with a bet-in of 10, so please come join up!
Can someone explain the difference between Quantitative Easing & Credit Easing? I'm not getting it. I get that QE is pumping money into circulation by buying large numbers of treasury bonds, but how is the process different with this "credit easing"? It's still expanding the balance sheet, is it not?
either that or I don't know the rules correctly... gameID=73804 In Autumn 1908 I moved Pie-Ven via convoy. The convoy failed, yet the army still moved. Should this have happened?
Galacia suported Ukrain into Warsaw, while Warsaw attacked Galacia, it is my understanding that this should have prevented ukrain taking warsaw.but warsaw was taken as suport should have been broken.
I'd never heard of this reporter until today and was shocked by the video. Apparently he's a regular for the BBC and other British media. What does everyone think about the truth of this information?? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8187301869971500776
Loved it especially the Bin laden/Saudi connection and the flights out of America after 9-11. Bring them up here, however, and you will be branded a nut job
@ful - Everyone knows about the Bin Laden family connections. But that would be like saying someone in power knew a family member of Charles Manson or Timothy McVey (sp?) or <*gasp*> Ted Kennedy. You know, the guy involved in that Chappaquiddick incident? You can't pick your relatives and OBL's family disowned him. so why make a point of Bush knowing a weahy middle eastern family who happen's to be related to a terrorist "mastermind" but disavowed him?
Kennedy drove a car into the water. A woman died in said car. Yet he got a slap on the wrist for leaving the scene and not even an involuntary manslaughter charge? Get real. He committed a felony but got away with a misdemeanor and get to keep his Senate seat because he was a Kennedy.
I'm suggesting that he got lenient treatment (if you want to call it a conspiracy) *because* he was a Kennedy, yes. Just as most of Hollywood's elite gets treated better for the identical crimes of a typical LA citizen because of their celebrity status.
Oh, and a conspiracy involves people. This was more of a "favor" by the DA to one of the Camelot family members. So a conspiracy of one to not pursue greater charges.
Draug you and I are at one on this. It is not valid to condemn another person's point of view as a ''conspiracy theory'' without listening to what they have to say.
Hence, my question of you about whether you had wtched the program.
But there's nothing wrong with conspiracy theories per se. It's just when people start seeing conspiracies everywhere (and wearing foil hats) that I get worried. :-o
Many people have observed that the largest power becomes a target for alliances to take down. This makes the second-largest power a desirable position to hold as it often can become the winning power. Builds can be withheld or centers not taken in order to achieve this position. Discuss below.

What things do you to keep track of whats going on in a game, from a diplomacy perspective... to work out the likelihood someone is going to "stab" (a phrase I am becoming quickly accustom with) you a few turns in advance.
is it wise to have a separate word doc open to keep track of whats going on with each country?
Here is a research article that is intriguing. Medical Marijuana Laws, Traffic Fatalities, and Alcohol Consumption by D. Mark Anderson, Daniel I. Rees (November 2011)
So I clicked my name today and noticed I talk a decent amount in diplomacy games but never thought I spoke this much. How many chat messages do YOU have under your belt?
If you owned a company and someone said they would cut your costs to hire an employ for the next six months, but after that they would raise the costs tremendously why would you hire anyone based on a six month cut? This is exactly President Obama's payroll tax reduction plan.
Yesterday, so we are told, 2 million UK public sector workers sacrificed a day's pay and caused the rest of us great inconvenience in order to make a point. But I can't help feel they're missing a trick...
My brother(The Man Who Can't Be Moved) without my knowing, decided to joing some daily games that I was in without telling me, 2 of which I believe are Anonymous, this will not compromise how I play the game but it is certainly aggrivating that I could get banned when uses my Laptop, is there anyway I can avoid being under scrutany for this or should I simply avoid it in the future?
