A Player Left
We're playing our first game, and a player left. Can anything be done to speed up turns since he ain't logging in? When will he dissapear as a player, when all his provinces are conquered at the end of Autumn? How many votes for Draw/Cancel are requiered? Anything else I should know on the situation?
Thanks in advance, guys!

You are standing on the top one of two solid metal pillars. They are both exactly one kilometer apart from each other and they both stand one kilometer high. There is absolutely nothing around these pillars, but you have one small twig, one small rock and an unlimited supply of rope. Usuing only the materials named, how can you get from the top of the pillar that you are on to the top of the other pillar?
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
27 Jan 12 UTC
Oh you cannot get down from the pillar or anything of the sort.
d31 (312 D(B))

I suppose if you truly have unlimited rope you could simply fill the space between the pillars and walk across the burning sandbags.

Ignore the bit about the iguanas.

Here's what you do. First, you break the twig into three small pieces, each equivalent in length. Equal length is important. If they aren't equal, science will break and the iguanas will eat you. Next, you need to take the small rock and tap out the lyrics to "Night Moves" by Bob Seger in Morse code on the metal pillar. This will undoubtedly attract the attention of a mountain gorilla. Mountain gorillas are excellent sources of blood because they are so large. Using one of the equal length bits of stick, kill the mountain gorilla by poking the stick into the weak point in its armor, which is slightly below the neck at the top of its back. This is especially difficult because a mountain gorilla is not easily distracted. To distract the mountain gorilla, you will need to tie the small rock to a second length of stick to fashion a karaoke microphone. The gorilla will sing the lyrics to "Night Moves." During the piano solo, you need to stab the gorilla. The gorilla will die instantly. Remove the bit of stick and use it to skin the gorilla (this could take several hours). Use the skin as a disguise, because the pterodactyl that guards the other pillar eats humans but is afraid of mountain gorillas. Second, make sure you do not break the sac encasing the thorax of the gorilla, or else you will spoil the blood. Pterodactyls feast on mountain gorilla blood. This will be your offering to the pterodactyl.

Now comes the tricky part. Since the other pillar is a kilometer away, you will need to figure out how far a kilometer is because the metric system is stupid. It turns out that a kilometer is .62 miles. .62 miles is quite a long way, too far to jump, because you would clearly die if you were to jump .62 miles to the ground. The only way to the other pillar is to summon the pterodactyl. Unfortunately, the pterodactyl doesn't respond to Morse code, nor can it smell your delicious mountain gorilla blood from .62 miles away. You need to attract its attention. Hopefully, you know that pterodactyls are ravenous sex addicts. Perform a sexy gorilla striptease while swinging a lasso fashioned from the unlimited rope. This will attract the pterodactyl, who will likely be sporting a raging hardon. A horny pterodactyl that drinks mountain gorilla blood will keep his boner for approximately five minutes, which should be enough time for you to grab onto the boner and have the pterodactyl fly you to the other pillar. Using some of your unlimited rope, nestle yourself in between the pterodactyl's scrotum and erect penis. Stroke the penis to sooth the dinosaur. If you stroke too hard, however, the pterodactyl will ejaculate sparkles and you will fall .62 miles and die. But be sure to stroke hard enough to avoid blue balls. Pterosaur blue balls are likely to have killed most of the dinosaurs.

At this point, the pterodactyl will have landed on the second pillar. Now, consider your situation. You are still on top of a fucking pillar and you're not sure how you got there in the first place, or where you got this unlimited rope.

Am I close?

Here's one:
You are locked in a room with only a pair of scissors and two electrical cords hanging down from the ceiling spaced far enough apart that while holding onto one cord and walking towards the other, it is just out of reach. The only way out is for you to make a complete connection between the two cords which will short circut the lock on the door. How do you escape?

Well, hopefully they are metal scissors with rubber gripes so I can spread the scissors wide, and use the two scissor points to connect the two wires.

Is a small twig a Twiglet? If so you threaten to eat the twiglet unless a the Incredible Hulk moves the second pillar close enough for you to jump to. You can then reward the Hulk with the Twiglet.
Haert (234 D)
30 Jan 12 UTC
uclabb got it right. Attach the scissors to one cord and set it swinging, holding the other start walking towards the first one and grab it when it swings back to you.

Serious Diplomacy Question- How nice should you be to your allies?
I am a relatively new player to Diplomacy, and often engage in (obviously) diplomacy with other players. However, I seem to find myself being to nice to my supposed allies.
When dealing with allies, how nice is too nice?
Thanks.

Leaving webdiplomacy
I've been playing here for about 2 years, but started playing at playdiplomacy about a month ago, and I have to say, they have a better interface, and a community who can actually hold an intelligent discussion. See inside for more reasoning. I hope to see some of you better players over there soon!

1. I thought you hated all Obama's spending...how much would a MOON COLONY cost?
2. Seriously...seriously, this is what you're resorting to now?
3. I like Star Trek, would love to hsee this happen, someday, but...no, I'm sorry--does ANYONE take this guy seriously? (Or a Moon Colony by 2020, for that matter, assuming the technology did exist, could it be built?)

Request: GR-unrated games
I think it would be a good idea to allow unrated games. After all, not all Chess games are ELO-rated for example.
A simple way to do it would be to make a new variant, say "Classic-unrated". Then, adjust the GR program so that it excludes all games of that variant.
