Lord of Ultima
This was a thread in Vdip, but me, King Atom, and Drano019 is thinking of starting a Lord of Ultima, Webdip alliance. For those who know how to play, we are probably going to be starting as soon as a new English Server is opened... For those who don't know how to play, Server 60 would be a good experience-gathering game

Classic gunboat LIVE complaint


Very likely France and Germany are communicating/cheating. No reason why two people with 10 builds bordering each other would still be just chilling out sipping pina coladas like this.

One Million Moms, Zero Common Sense--Ellen DeGeneres Targeted by Anti-LGBT Group
http://news.yahoo.com/one-million-moms-jc-penney-fire-ellen-shes-173429894.html "Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families,"
Funny this should even be an issue in the year 2012...JC Penny will keep her on, but what does this say about the state of LGBT Rights in America?

Christian Just War Theory
I would like to hear the opinions of the community here at WebDiplomacy regarding Christian Just War Theory. Whether Atheist, Christian, or any sort of religious affiliation, your thoughts are appreciated. Does it concur with what Jesus taught? Is there room for killing in a Christian lifestyle if these conditions are met? Any and all thoughts are appreciated thank you.

Is this type of post allowed?
I am currently in a game with a terrible ally. Let me be more specific: they're not an evil stabber or an incompetent strategist, but they are simply a terrible ally. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm talking possibly the worst teammate I've ever had in any game, Diplomacy or other. Is it improper to discuss this here if I don't use names?

Northwest USA World Cup Team
Anyone from Washington or Oregon, Northern California, Idaho, and BC are probably OK to join too if we need people.

We currently have interest from:
ghug (full press)
thatwasawkward (gunboat)
Barn3tt (also gunboat, still trying to get that worked out)
semck83 (unknown)

Anyone else from the are interested in playing? We still need two or three more.

It seems that teams are getting confirmed without subs. Can somebody step up to be assistant captain? I don't think it actually requires you to do anything.

Barn3tt backed out, we need a new fourth.

I've been thinking that as well, doubt he'd be too keen on playing public press though... He's also taking a break from the site (I know two other people in the top 100 GR who are as well, quite unfortunate). I'll PM him anyway in case he decides to come online for some reason.
ghug (5068 D(B))

You could also talk to him at WACon if you go (I would, but I'm busy that weekend).

Make sure you add yourself to the list ibadibam, and yes, it is unfortunate :( I almost shed a tear when they said, "you are all required to attend a mandatory test and training"

OK, I've added myself to the google spreadsheet in the substitute slot.
Hope you at least learn something useful, Sandgoose.

It seems that many of the more successful teams communicate among themselves to ensure better play across the team. Do you guys want to try to get something set up (probably just an email thread, a series of PMs, or a Google Doc), or would you prefer to just go it alone?
semck83 (229 D(B))
25 Jan 12 UTC
What do we communicate about? Are we allowed to talk about in-progress games?
ghug (5068 D(B))
25 Jan 12 UTC
Yeah.
semck83 (229 D(B))
25 Jan 12 UTC
Huh. I see. Well, I'll certainly want to make final decisions in my game, and I could see that ticking people off (and I'd obviously expect vice versa with your games), but I'm perfectly happy to hear your inputs. I'm sure I'm not the strongest tactician on the team.
ghug (5068 D(B))
25 Jan 12 UTC
That's what I was thinking, everyone has different strengths, and I'm sure everyone can always use a second opinion about various things. People can also provide information about players they've played with before. Obviously everyone still gets to make final decisions in their games.
ibadibam (377 D)
25 Jan 12 UTC
Sounds good to me. Email probably makes the most sense, provided everyone is comfortable with that.
ghug (5068 D(B))
26 Jan 12 UTC
Yeah, does anyone have a problem using email?
semck83 (229 D(B))
26 Jan 12 UTC
I prefer email as well. I expect it will be kept private obviously.

In other news, is there a highly qualified player interested in joining PNW? If one were, and my teammates did not mind, I would consider joining the Texas team.

Please note: this is _not_ a resignation. Please do not remove me from the team without my explicit request, which would only come if somebody with a higher GR than I offered to join.

Wow, the last year's Pacific Coast team had three in the top 100, where are they all now?

26 Jan 12 UTC
Thanks Sandgoose. :-) I'm here for now at least, and I do rather like this team. Thanks also ibadibam, I'll think about it. But the team would still need another sub anyway then.
Sandgoose (0 DX)
27 Jan 12 UTC
soooo, ibadibam is our sub? :)

Yo. I'll post something tomorrow. I'm totally drained and exhausted.
semck83 (229 D(B))

Last call for a strong player to join Northwest team.

NOTE: Your actually getting on this team is dependent on there being time to complete and confirm that the Texas team can be finished and enrolled. Until explicitly confirmed otherwise, I remain on this team, as its vice captain.
