The mods rock
Although I can't get into details until the investigation is complete, I just want to say that I am thoroughly impressed by the mods on this site. I know that many of us, me included, will bust their chops, but they are a great group that take care of business. Thanks!

Mod Status: Thanks Kestas!!!
Hey folks, check out the reinstated mod status! Who knew sixteen little dots could be so useful.
Also, just a simple reminder that the mods speak as players most of the time and when we are speaking as mods, we usually sign, "webdipmod" or some such at the end.

Once again, awesome mod status.

The Level of Competition of WebDip: Better/Worse/Comparable?
I personally believe that the level of competition has increased steadily. Since I've been here, I've seen many new players who have raised the bar such as Cach, sly, Tasnica, 8foldWay, CStein, ghug, gen. lee, fairfax, SD (gb only), and many others. I think that it might be harder to raise your GR substantially now than when the site was new. Not to start a flame war, but I don't know if the old upper echelon would have gained as much GR if they competed with the current crop.

Part of the axis of evil is spiralling into a vicious circle.
What will this mean for geometry?

I thought the Russian guy was being a bit obtuse in the segment of the speech I saw but then 'bam' he got to the point and threw his curve ball about vicious circles.

The world must act before the vicious circle collapses to a parallelepiped of peril sandwiched between the dodecahedron of doom and the inherently unstable inverted pyramid of propaganda.

lol - I love when the media reports how a country is "aiming its missiles at target X" or "putting them on stand-by"...as if there is some elaborate, month-long procedure to ready a missile for launch, and the targeting is somehow hard-coded into the mechanism and can only be changed with great difficulty.

Sadder still is the media-consuming public that reads such reports with great trepidation and hand-wringing...

Stop being so oblique and come out with it. What's your angle? Parabola.

I don't think we're even operating on the same plane. US and Russian interests aren't remotely intersecting on this issue, let alone congruent. Is it even in our sphere of influence?
Maniac (189 D(B))

Everything is in a sphere. If a plane took off from a base in the region and headed it our direction it could mean we're all pixels before we could make an intersection.

The real irony is his missiles can reach Alaska (big loss there, Palin gone! Please! Launch one already!) or Hawaii (so the Florida Keys, Bahamas, and Bermuda would see an increase on tourists, big whoop. I'd miss Hawaii Five-Oh though).

@Octagon - I don't think the pentagon are looking at the situation through the same prism if you ask me.

@hecks - I don't have an angle but on reflection I take your point. Expect the UN to increase its volume until everyone moves back to square one.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
I've always felt that two different angles can be complimentary, although in this case, I feel like the US needs to examine the issue through a different lens.

North Korea is obviously approaching the limit of its threats, but I have a feeling they'll never quite reach their goal.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
My question, though, is why doesn't the US examine the origin of the problem? Going from zero to Threat Level Delta can really change things in a hurry.
hecks (164 D)
29 Mar 13 UTC
Well, there tends to be an arc to these sort of threats. But I see a degree of hope, a ray of hope, if you will, and wouldn't be surprised if we turned a corner soon, and it will all come full circle. Maintaining perspective is integral to finding the right angle of approach in any negotiations.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
I think it's important to keep the mode of negotiations in mind. We can't approach this as another average situation and not deviate from standard operations.
hecks (164 D)
29 Mar 13 UTC
Naturally. To operate under another mode would just be... mean. It would be a radical departure from the root of our beliefs.
hecks (164 D)
29 Mar 13 UTC
Not to mention that it would be highly irregular.
hecks (164 D)
29 Mar 13 UTC
And that could cause the threat to multiply exponentially.
Maniac (189 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
I think this could just be kite flying and if we take a coordinated approach through the network of the UN we'll be able to hold the line.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
We can all agree, though, that North Korea has made an irrational number of threats and a prime target for retaliation. One might consider their arsenal to be imaginary, however.
Maniac (189 D(B))
29 Mar 13 UTC
Yes I think no matter what your moral compass is, we can all agree this is serious for the globe.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

Only here on webdip does an article on North Korea lead to a bunch of geometry jokes. I guess it isn't surprising considering how many people here are so obtuse.

First of all, Geometry is for squares.

Second, I always thought the axis of evil was Atheism, Communism, and Islam...

I'm sure if we just open negotiations, we can find a common denominator.
Maniac (189 D(B))

@sbyvl - "I always thought the axis of evil was Atheism, Communism, and Islam..." Nope pretty sure the axis of evil included one of the Koreas

Procedural Question
Lets say that someone wants to start a tournament. And in the tournament, the mods would have to get involved by making sure that every one of the 7 players played 7 different countries. What is the proper procedure? Do we ask the mods in advance? I'm guessing yes. If so, then how long in advance? Or is this something that is not acceptable? Thanks in advance.

Dear All Mass Media,
Please stop displaying the Newtown shooter's name to the public. The fact that you all force us to remember him is what motivates other wackos to do it again. People like me that have had their lives affected by killing don't appreciate it.

Another noob question, what's the appeal of no in-game messaging?
Just seems to me that exchanging private messages, and people lying to you with them, would be the most interesting part of the way the game plays out. No messaging at all feels like it would take away all the diplomatic relations in the game, which are what the entire game is based on!

So what's the appeal, and why are they so popular here?

Were a lot of combat planes used in WWI?
It's for a speech for school in English of 4 minutes, tomorrow, just came up with the subject combat planes and I think I know enough about WWII but if someone could tell me about if, how and how much they were used in WWI and any other useful information (everything welcome but the speech will be rather general, just as deep as it needs to be for 4 interesting minutes) that would be very helpful!

Reduce CDs, Increase Takeovers, Improve Site Considerably
Consensus looked like:
- When a player would CD (or on a first move), instead of a CD, the player is booted and the phase length resets.
- Changing the buy in to encourage take overs once vacated -- first 3 centers free.

HELP! Game refuses to unpause!
We've got a game going (C-3PO) that has been paused for a day or two now. We're given the options: draw, unpause, cancel, and for whatever reason when we click unpause nothing happens. Under one player it lists 'Votes: Draw, unpause, cancel'--this player also missed the last phase. Could anyone let us know how to get our game unpaused?
