classic live game-6 starts at 10pm eastern

How do ya'll watch TV? Standard Cable? TiVo? Apple TV? A mix of online services? What's holding us back from an Internet-based TV revolution? Are Cable companies to blame, or do we simply not have the bandwidth yet?

...I am planning on dumping my girlfriend sometime this week. She doesn't live anywhere near here ... any advice from all you sex hounds?

If a player earns their 18th center, the game ends. The game does not progress into the retreats phase; it simply ends. If someone can retreat into a center of the winning player, the game will still end. I understand that once you hit 18 centers the game is over, but my belief is that retreats are a part of the season in which they follow. If they are, shouldn't they go through, even if the player has gotten 18 centers?

I used to watch this guy when I was 6 or 7 and imitate his pregame routines... he was the greatest linebacker I ever got to watch. I wore #52 on my jersey when I played football in middle school and I would have before then if they had gone that high. I know I'm going to miss watching him. Come this Sunday I have to choose my favorite player or my favorite team... whatever happens, I know I'll miss Ray Lewis.

If you've seen the news recently, then you've probably heard that a deal on the fiscal cliff will come out of the Senate, and it's up to the House to vote on it. Actually, the CONSTITUTION (as if these weisels read it) states that all bills dealing with revenue and finances must come out of the House of Representatives. I just wanted to point that out to you, and hopefully shed some light on what else is in the Constitution that we are ignoring (i.e. 2nd & 10th Amendments)

Not sure if this is the right place but there is still 19 hours of S01 left so anyone willing to play Turkey would be much appreciated.

Everyone is invited to write an article for next Zine.

I'm interested in these variants.

And if you do, how do you prevent metagaming? In my experiences playing FtF, metagaming is rampant, but maybe that's just because of the group of friends I play with.

I would like to know why people think Obama is good? I personally believe that he is a very bad president but I am also open to let people convince me otherwise. Why or why not is he a good president?

More inside.

Am I the only one that feels like a complete dick after stabbing someone for an 18th center when you know you'd be stuck in a four or five way draw without their help?

I got a new phone yesterday and I found an app called "DroidDippy." It appears I can play through my phone against other android users. Has anyone used this application? Is it any good?

Okay, so my brother introduced me to this site a while back and I played a few games on his account last year, but now that we're in a new year I've decided to create an account for myself...

Preferably without being sexist, as it it plainly obvious that someone along the lines of the progression of this was…

Could it be where these two close countries work toghether to win? Or does one need to stab the other. Can they be allies? Or is one certan to be stabbed?

My mom had a cerebral aneurysm rupture 3 days ago, and she's in the hospital right now in critical condition. I'm staying with my dad right now. I'm wondering if any of you on here have gone through this or had a family member go through this and could offer me some advice on how to handle this.

Still got 2 hours to wait here ...

In September, gameID=97171 was paused, and has never been restarted. Most of the players involved haven't logged in for months, so can a mod please force a draw?
