Apologies
I'm in an anon gunboat game and am dreading the end of game revealing when people see that I single handedly screwed it all up by bad play. Sorry in advance folks.

Looking for someone to take over Germany and Austria.
This game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=146899) was apparently a mess when I joined. Lots of missing players allowed others to benefit. The currently missing players are Germany and Austria. Having an unbalanced game is much less fun, so I'm wondering if someone would like to join.

Next phase is in 14 hours.

NFL Pick 'em Week 3: Fast Starts and False Starts
So...um...we start Week 3 a little late...but as the Falcons just proved everyone who thought the Bucs had even a chance of being good this year 56 kinds of wrong, no harm done. ;) The 2-0 Bills take on the 1-1 Chargers in a game that could be better than it has any right to be, Peyton looks for redemption vs. Richard "Totally Not Exposed" Sherman and the Seahawks, and my Niners attempt to rebound from...ahem...Romo-ing on SNF vs. the Bears. Week 3...Pick 'em!!!

Moderator Assistance Please - Game set up Info
I checked the FAQs on this but either missed or overlooked how the players get linked to a country. Is this done by random assignment or ? Also I have six players for a game and want the game to kick off with Italy in CD. Did I miss something in the new game set up to make this happen? Game is called "Over the Top!"

Pausing in Anon Gunboats?
Hello lovely community, it's been years since I've played a gunboat match but I'm craving one again. However I know I'm going to be away a weekend soon, what are the official or unwritten rules so to speak on Gunboat pausing? Is it reliable if I want some time away, or shall I wait until I get back before starting a new game? Advice would be lovely. Thanks :)

I dated a girl for a while last year who smelled just awesome. I don't mean she wore classy perfume, either. Just somehow the natural smell of her body was absolutely beautiful. Those were happy times.

Yeah, love the smell of coffee and hate the taste. By contrast tea doesn't smell half as good but tastes much better.

Tar being applied to a road's surface is quite unpleasant. Cigarette smoke stinks too.


Some pipe smoke is pretty good though, had a biology teacher who used cherry tobacco in his pipe. You always knew when he was in the faculty workroom.

I worked on a road crew for three summers and I love the smell of new asphalt. The smell of an old book is also one of my favorites. Food-wise, it has to be marinara sauce.

The smell of carpet after it's been caught up in the vacuum cleaner = bad smell

The chlorine scent of an indoor swimming pool (with just the right proportion of chlorine that keeps it from smelling too much like bleach cleaner) = good smell

I meant sweet baked goods - cookies, desserts, etc.
"Petrol is quite a nice smell, weirdly."
I used to think that when I was a small kid (well, actually, I thought "gas" smelled quite nice, but then I'm from the west side of the Atlantic), but something about the mix must have changed in the meantime. I don't hate it, but it just doesn't have the fill-up-your-lungs enjoyment that it used to.

Training Game!
Hey Diplomats,

I'm a teacher and I'm currently introducing one of my favorite students to Diplomacy. To avoid metagaming, I'd like to start a Classic game in which all the players are just starting out and want a place to feel free to ask questions and generally be a little less intense than usual. The game link is here: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=147658
The password is "new".

Facebook and Death
So, my cousin, who is about 5 years younger than me, dropped dead today....literally. Shocking, horrible...I'm a bit traumatized. I have vilified Facebook in the past for various reasons...and yet today found comfort in the ability to share his life, to explore his life through his page, and grieve instantly with friends and family near and far.
So what are your thoughts about Facebook in this respect?

PJM Gunboat
As we're getting to results I thought I'd put up a thread for the final scores. Frankly as it wasn't really intended to be serious, I never thought about putting a scoring system together across the 7 games, but if anyone is that bothered, they're welcome to do so!

What is happening with this site???
Some 2 years ago when I joined Webdiplomacy you could play 3 games in a row during one night. Now, you cant get players for even one game. Everyone is just typing on forum. Maybe if we type about it, we can overcome this problem somehow?! Play people, play.
