When you're heading for a solo
After *that* move where you get 2/3 centres and suddenly look like you're set for a solo: how do you convince the other players not to turn on you yet?

Gaining a supply center
I'm confused, on this site, there's spring and autumn. What happened to Winter?
When is the supply center gained?
Also, do I need a unit to phisycally exist in the supply center's country during the gain phase? Or perhaps it's enough that the unit passed there before?

I thought this question was interesting enough to warrant its own discussion? Should math be considered a science? What about engineering? Where does applied science end and engineering begin? Thoughts?

Diplomacy problems
I remember seeing some Diplomacy position problems that a webdip user had put together (eg: "given this position, and a hostile Germany and France, how can England keep London?"). Does anyone have a link to this? Or to a similar resource?

New Proposed Feature
I was wondering if any of you coders out there can code a new feature that allows a player to repeat the previous phase's moves. This would be really useful when playing stalemate games that are drawn out by one player attempting to break through, hoping for an NMR or waiting for others to be taken out of the draw. It gets very boring sometimes to enter the same moves repeatedly and helps to avoid careless mistakes.

Sarah Palin's online "news" channel
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/28/us/palin-news-channel/index.html

Is there anyone out here who actually thinks that Palin has (or ever had) anything relevant to say? If so, please explain to me why I am wrong to think she's got the intellect of a baked potato (although the latter probably tastes better when eaten).

Josunice tournament
I was wondering what are the current standings with the couple of games that recently finished... I was dead last before the solo, so I want to know if there is still hope of at least second place now that I have bounced back. I think josemurcs was winning by a lot, but with the latest results maybe he is no longer leading so easily?

Ok, So only males in the movie that are lions that you see is Scare, Simba and Mufassa and in a lion pack there is only one male for all the lionesses in the pack.
So Simba's Girl friend is technically his half sister. And well you know what is implied at the moment when they are chasing each other playfully through the forest. So Disney basically had a movie with incest in it although when we were kids we didn't know what alot of things mean in movies. But the fact is that our parents have known about it but they were ok with it because we were kids and we wouldn't have noticed it anyway.Kinda bad for Disney huh?
His name is Scar...not Scare.

Incest is common among lions, who cares? They had different mothers at least.

Putin33 (111 D)

Wouldn't it be more illogical if Disney covered up the incest or pretended like it didn't happen in nature?
semck83 (229 D(B))
28 Jul 14 UTC
I don't think Legion is saying the movie is illogical, but that he can no longer enjoy it now that he has applied logic to the situation. Perhaps?

In any event, putin is right -- it's pretty realistic for lions, so I think it's reasonable to portray it realistically. Kids won't notice, and when adults apply "logic," then they can realize that's how lions live, and if they're going to like lions, they'll have to deal with it.

Well yeah but its just, When you grow up and look at the old things you used to watch when you were little you can notice all the pretty messed up stuff. I still like the lion king it was a good story. Its just as the title puts logic ruins it.

28 Jul 14 UTC
I know incest is common in the wildlife but to make a movie about lions and actually putting in some nature facts regarding them is kinda messed up in my opinion. I mean its Disney they could of made it where she was from another pact but they did not. So yeah eww. Lol

I think Rule 34 is more effective at ruining childhoods.
Putin33 (111 D)
28 Jul 14 UTC
Most good children stories are "messed up". I think that's on purpose as they teach moral messages, typically.

In Aschenputtel the sisters get their eyes gouged out by birds. Rumpelstiltskin rips himself in two. The old witch in Hansel and Gretel is burnt alive, etc.
