NFL Week 4: Pick 'em--Do Must-Win Games Exist in Week 4? And Who Stays Undefeated?
We kick things off tonight as Colin Kaepernick, Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers hope to remind folks why they were the NFC Champions last year...by playing one of the teams who gave them the most trouble last year, the Rams! The 0-3 Giants try and prove they're not dead (yet) against the Alex Smith, Andy Reid and the surprisingly-alive Chiefs...and a battle of undefeated teams on MNF, the Saints and ...Dolphins??? Let's get started, Week 4--PICK 'EM!

Can a European legally buy/wear a gun in America...
...without doing anything special other than being in America, being over 21 and paying for the gun? Also if you can, is this regular bussiness? Are there, like, gun shops near airports so all the foreigners coming in can rent/buy guns?
Just trying to understand this part of American gun laws.

the navy uses mixed caps?
i think i am going to vomit. the navy is now allowing mixed caps in its communications. once a bastion of all-caps, the organization was inflicted this year with the plague of mixed caps that has infiltrated society. almost as disgusting as the mixed-caps road signs.

Why is it that the mall shooting in Kenya is getting so much more press than the church massacre in Pakistan?

Automated Disbandment - who knew?
I really don't understand the logic :) http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=124968#gamePanel.
Why did a fleet west of Texas survive and an army near Florida disband, for the Florida player? Thought it was "closest to home survives"?

bought off tech corporations: how we get to 1984!
are you one of those naive people thinking that if your computer is off and not connected to the internet that you cannot be spied upon? http://www.infowars.com/91497/
so... apparently modern intel processors have the ability to (assuming your computer is plugged in, or is a laptop with a battery in it) be turned on remotely, and can be controlled through a secret backdoor 3G capability that you do not have access to.

Problem with gameID=126551
Italian player of game ID=126551 claim that "The moves done by the site algorithm was not the ones [he] did", write a global message and leaves the game!
I don't know if someone could verify that, but is it possible to put the game in such a mode where a new player could pick up his country ? The game is in Spring 1902 and the situation of Italy is fine. Thx

Scary parts of the Affordable Care Act
If you aren't American the particulars of the ACA don't affect you. If you are American you need to educate yourself on the truly scary nature of the law leaving completely aside the political debate. It is the law and it has real consequences for Americans.

This isn't even a 2nd Amendment challenge on my part, since I lost that fight here LONG ago. :) But...come on...I'm legitimately curious--450 rounds per minute? Are deer/home invaders suddenly taking running lessons from the Flash? WHY? (And why stop there, how about 1,000 rounds minute!)

Presidential Pets
Nothing against Obama, but I don't find his choice of dog compelling. Portuguese Water Dog? Kind of prissy, don't you think? And Bo? It's not a good dog name. Buddy Clinton, the chocolate lab, now that's a dog. He could have kicked the crap out of Socks the cat, but he was just too damn chill.

Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Sep 13 UTC
League A1 had a three way draw for game 4 securing a league win for Dyager_nh and second place for Draugnar. I need to tally the rest of the positions, but have some homework to do first. As this was my last active game, I now have some time to dedicate to getting the leagues back on track, maybe.

I know we have need of replacements. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested. GR will determine who gets offered what replacements. Also if the current players will send me the full games lists yet again along with any missing positions. I will take some time this week and we will get the leagues back on track.

If A2 needs a fill in to finish their league, I could fill in. I played in A1 but I would still be willing to crush them all :)

And dyager has nothing to goin by it either as he won A1, He is guaranteed premiere league next season.

Hmm, well, we sort of accepted the fact that our league was lost by now, but I'm fine with continuing.

It probably would work out with a bit of a hassle.

A2 btw.

That said, I am really busy right now so I'm not going to go through any procedures or something, other than unpausing and playing.
