Privatization 3
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/26/ecuador-chinese-oil-bids-amazon

One thing to privatize a rail line, another to privatize someone else's land, specifically that land... good job, Ecuador.

Three quick questions from a total noob.
I just joined as there is some interest at my office to have an ongoing game throughout the day, and I suggested webDiplomacy since we can set up our own server with the code from Sourceforge.

Site Error/Speed
The site is currently running slow. It was timing out so I restarted the server. We've let Kestas know, and hopefully it will be running back to normal speed soon.

A serious educational project: part I Mathematics
I plan to spend a month or so this summer creating an individualized experimental math curriculum that would teach the mathematically inclined the subject and its history, starting with basic computations to calculus, number theory, matrices, applied numerical methods, and so forth. Can anyone suggest books, curricula and websites? Is anyone interested in doing part of the research and development with me?

Sweet 16 march madness tournament 2013!
While the Sweet 16 is coming up in the tournament, the games are getting closer and more interesting! Michigan State Vs Duke, Michigan vs Kansas Oregon vs Louisville Ohio state vs Arizona. Even though those aren't the 16 teams but those are the better games. What game sticks out the most? Predictions?

Site still slow.
Any body have a clue what's going on? The site was working fine earlier but the last hour it has been so slow. I have live games coming up and I'm not sure if I will be able to play due to the slowness of the site!

The majority: Scalia, Thomas, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan.
The minority: Roberts, Alito, Kennedy, Breyer.

Can you guys review my essay for English?
We have a project in my english class where we have to write 7 essays on a particular topic. My topic is popularity, and I chose to make this particular essay a satire. I showed to my English teacher, but when she was in the middle of the second paragraph she said it was really good but she didn't want to finish it so she wouldn't spoil it for herself when I finally turned it it. So I want to see what you here think. See inside.

Jamie, they seem somehow to winnow out the assholes (except they haven't found me yet :~) How they have time to do this is a mystery to me. I like to show appreciation where appreciation is due.

I have contacted the mods three times with suspicions about cheating. Each time they responded within several hours and had the issue resolved within a day. Thank you, mods, and especially jmo who I believe was the mod who responded to my email on all three occasions. .

We have five mods/admins (jmo, ye, me, tomb, and goldfinger) on the team now and we usually respond to requests as quickly as we can. With the extra man power, we have been able to spend time being diligent with cases and looking at connections. We hope to be able to keep this up.

Jmo, by the way, sits at his desk all day long with coffee in hand, and he gleefully smiles whenever there is a new case. All kidding aside, he has done a lot for the team and for the site.
Yeah, we're able to respond a lot faster now that there's 5 of us. And there's more of us available to ask each other for help or get second opinions on cases too, so hopefully the quality of moderating has gone up.

But seriously guys, jmo probably handles more cases than the other 4 of us combined. He's done a lot for the site.

I don't think letting the world know when the mods were on would be a very good idea. They are volunteers and should be able to be on the site without be harrased to "come check out my cheating accusation!". Instead, they should be able to turn on a "the mod is in" flag voluntarily when they are online and *want* to be available to handle mod issues.

I'd like to say my kudos is for a problem being resolved without any accusation by me, maybe someone else's, I don't know. I didn't even know it was a problem until they sorted it out. Shows my level of nous.

He must have lost it many, many, many years ago.
Why else would he play webDip, as we so sadly do?
Why choose to be a judge/mentor of morons such as we.
