NFL Pick 'em: Week 13--Are You Ready For Some (Thanksgiving) Football?

Ah, Thanksgiving football...the last refuge of a man looking to avoid a family argument on Thanksgiving day. Truly there's no more unifying sentiment than "Shut up, eat your food, and root for the Cowboys to lose!" Come Sunday, the Chiefs and Broncos will clash, and the Saints and Seahawks go at it on Monday Night. It's a good and important week of football, so--PICK 'EM!

Everyone loves a BJ........ BORIS for President.

You have to love this guy ..... he is a throw back to everything that was, and unfortunately still is, wrong with British politics, but we love him because he is so off-message and un-PC.

Ressurecting an old 0 replies thread

How difficult would it be to make a real-time game similar to Diplomacy? Where your troops move slowly to their objectives over the course of a day or so, and with more flexibility of orders (co-ordinates rather than provinces) etc?

Indiana Jones and the Quest for Plot Relevance?

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/361670/did-indy-matter-jonah-goldberg
While that's admittedly a double sin, posting something from The National Review and TBBT, I'd never thought about it that way...granted I've only seen the film a couple times, but still, huh--was Indy was mostly or completely pointless to the overall plot, or did the best worst archaeologist of all-time really come out awesome after all...at least until Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? ;)

From Draw to Solo - Part 1

Playing to draw is quite easy for most of us - but how to turn that into a solo? I've seen many people struggle with that question and I'm no exception. For this reason I thought it would be good to analyze some actual cases and get some advice from the more advanced players on the site: how to get the solo? My first case, inside, I hope others follow!

i don't want to hear you rant about how dumb liberals are, i just want to understand why.

Favorite Cocktails

I love cognac and wine, but aside from those two "regular" favorites, I love to try out new cocktails...they're just so impeccably tasty AND have that wonderful effect of leaving you "happy" enough--not really a somber drinker, except for one time, but that was due to extenuating circumstances--to be sociable but not dead on your feat or a drunken mess. So, for taste and effect alike...favorite cocktails? :)

I just played a game with Draug, and I've even played with him before, and I didn't pick him out at all. I found him to be completely different in-game than in the forum. And even in the forum, he actually can be reasonable and level-headed when he wants to be.

He definitely didn't get three builds in 1901 though . . . in fact, he built two units all game!

And yeah, I got jumped early on and was lucky to live as long as I did.

I just looked. I was Italy in that game. I never claimed to play Italy well above. Austria, Germany, France, and Turkey are my known triple build '01 nations. I don't think it is possible for Italy to get a triple in 01 unless Austria is dumber than Miley Cyrus.

peterwiggin (15158 )
28 Nov 13 UTC

I did see Ender's Game, and it was pretty amazing. The plot isn't completely the same, but they did a good job of keeping the essence and themes of the novel. I've also introduced my students to the short story and (one of them at least) to the novel.

I'm not that great at playing Italy either, but I've found myself to be pretty good at killing Italy off when I play Turkey. You get three builds as Turkey, though? That's pretty hard to pull off too. Also, I thought you liked Miley Cyrus?

I like some of her music and all, but she's no rocket scientist. :-)

I'm in an anon game right now as Turkey where I pulled of an 01 triple. When it is done, I'll post it here.

If you can't pick out draug right away in an anon game then you've never had this experience:

Germany: Dude let's go after Russia
Me: ok ill support you to Warsaw

.
Fall 01 after I support Warsaw to Sil ...

Germany: fuck you, you cocksucker! You will pay for this! I know lawyers! I'll sue you you for breach of contract and copywrite infringement and for HIPPA violations! I will own your children!

Me: Draug, is that you?
Germany: no uhh draugnar is a fucktard ... Of course I'm not him ... How about you support Berlin to Sil to make up for that last move?

Trading places

According to the Avalon Hill Diplomacy Rulebook, units cannot trade places without the use of a convoy. Is this also true in a situation where one of the territories is bicoastal? Can a fleet in Bulgaria (west coast) move to Constantinople while a fleet in Constantinople move to Bulgaria (south coast) or would this constitute a bounce?
