A Diplomacy Game for Literature Lovers?
Well, we've done Star Trek Diplomacy before, each power corresponding to one of the powers from Trek...anyone up for playing a game where each player of a power (we'll say Turkey counts for the whole Middle East to make it easier) takes on the persona of a great author from said country? Ex., Shakespeare/Chaucer/Dickens for England, Hugo/Proust/Racine for France, Goethe for Germany, Dostoyevsky/Tolstoy (not that one!) for Russia, etc...?

Canada's economic problem
So I am an econ major in my first year of university, so obviously I know very little compared to others about economics. However Canada has a rather strange economic problem (which I will explain below) and I think I have a viable solution to solve it. Can some of the greats on this site explain why my solution wont work (as why isn't it on the table as a solution)

Genie
You come across a genie, and you get one wish, assume that the genie will properly carry out your wish, not malicious misunderstand the intent. Only rule is no asking for an infinite stream of wishes (or anything that would be tantamount to this).

EOG: Gunfall
I thought I had the win, but you got the stalemate line together. When France spooked backwards, it seemed like my win was guaranteed, but then he returned with English fleets as backup. I imagine I missed an opportunity, but I am not sure right now what it was.

Show Me Something Interesting
The other day, someone told me I am too caught up in the past to function appropriately. It was then made a point that my taste in music accurately depicted the same conceptual view of my personality. So tell me, strangers, what is better today than it was yesterday? And can someone please explain the appeals of ANY form of modern music? I'm not sorry when I say that I am satisfied with listening to this for the rest of my life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_JAgHxR14

We had france at 17 for a long time.

@germany, you gave france this solo. My EoG is pretty simple; I started off OK, but things went south in 1903 and the rest of my pitiful life was spent as a roaming unit trying to stunt france's growth.
Germany, you have to make some alliances in a gunboat. After france built that fleet in brest, i was totally open to allying with you to take him down. Instead you and I pointlessy fought while he leeched our centers.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))

Wow, that was one special Ed game.

Turkey your an asshole for faking draw to try and get a better position, you got what you deserved with Russia taking all your centers.

Austria, wtf were you thinking taking random Russian cd centers without taking back Budapest to get builds. Smh. And your last move would have resulted in the loss of sevestapol if France had actually entered th right move, should have been a hold.

Also Austria, when turkey and Russia line up for a juggernaut you don't hold Turkish positions. I cut Constantinople for you twice and you just held Bulgaria for him while Russia lined up to pound you. At that point I realized you weren't ally material and stabbed you at Trieste.

Gen - I thought you needed the dots to build fleets, so I thought you were going to take it (the one reason we were able to postpone was you got a fleet behind enemy lines). I also thought Germany would support the Russian Army in Moscow - so I didn't realize we were going to have to make up for his cowardice.

Turkey and Russia were not working together at that point... The support to Bulgaria was a fake out so I could take it that year... which I did- so the plan worked. Unfortunately I didn't cover my tail, and also didn't support your fleet Aegean. When it popped I should have realized you'd come after me. I figured it was via frustration not necessarily due to my tactics. Had you not stabbed me we would have broken them - but by then it would have probably been too late. Wish the Lepano had worked.

Yes, i did need fleets. But you didn't take budapest. Agreed, germany was an all around idiot.

The support on bulgaria may have worked to give you bulgaria, but in the process you lost an ally, trieste, and greece in one turn.

I know it isn't hitting landfall for at least another week yet, but if you're out there, be aware of it. There was a public service announcement regarding it in central Indiana last night, so if we have to worry about it, the east coast should really focus on it.
