Just Cause/Just Cause 2
Are they any good? Which is better? Worth playing both? Does the dlc add anything substantial?

It's 80% discount on steam, hence I ask :P

Violence and Death Threats in the Forum
Guys, Yellowjacket and Thucy started this violence and "kill him" thing in the Bible thread, aimed at me, and were silenced for it. Since then Thucy actually opened a thread with the same wording (or almost) and now chaqa has jumped on the meme.

Juicing Veggies
I got this juicer and made kale juice with it. It's rather harsh. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for vegetables to make juice out of. I have some bok choy but I doubt that will be delicious in juice form.

Gunboat Game
I want a new game, but I can't handle a press game right now. Looking for 6 decent, reliable, gunboat players. I have a fair number of points, a lot of GR, and I'm terrible at GB, so consider it a donation.

The game will be WTA, 24 hrs, bet doesn't matter to me.

Speed of electrons: calculated/theorised based on what observations?
I understand that you can calculate the speed of an electron if you know it's time and place at various times, but I can't imagine how one would observe these things in the first place. Presumably one observes something else and uses calculations based on a theory combined with these observations, but I'd like to know what those actual observations are.

How many boards? And did Bill Hack hang on to win? The posts and Tweets dried up yesterday afternoon. Right now, you're the only person reporting, so score another one for Webdip.

9 or 10 boards total I believe. Bill took home first. He was Italy when I was Austria in Game 2. He was great to play with but wish he had stuck with me and the Key. We could have rocked the board.
This is making me want to play a live game reeeeealy bad

Overall, I had an amazing time this weekend; Carnage greatly exceeded my expectations. The venue itself was incredible and offered a lot of activities besides gaming, including skiing (it was a ski resort, after all), spa, and outlet shopping. Carnage itself seemed very cool, although I didn't have that much time to see all that was offered. There were at least 20 games going on at any given time, ranging from Settlers to Magic to LARPing.

The Accords Diplomacy Tournament, where I spend most of my time, was awesome. The tournament was run excellently and I met more experienced Diplomacy players in 3 days than I had previously met in my entire life combined. Everyone was friendly and welcoming to me as a knew player (although that didn't stop them from taking all my centers) and I really liked the feeling of camaraderie and friendship I could tell the players there shared.

Hopefully, some more of you will be able to attend next year. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

Is there a place online to see final standings/points?

Abge, what do you think of the point system they used; how does it compare to the one the Boroughs uses in your eyes?

A "Unified" Palestinian Government? I Think Not...
http://news.yahoo.com/hamas-trying-destroy-palestinian-unity-says-abbas-112457367.html I'd say having to scrap ceremonies for (however one might feel about him) a huge leader in Palestinian history due to concerns one faction might attack the other is a sign you DON'T have a unified government. Much as I dislike Abbas and Fatah, they're the better of the two factions fighting for power there...again--Hamas Hamas HAMAS destroys peace, even for fellow Palestinians.

Anyone want to post the tote board for TV's five-game series? Three games are finished, ending in solos by three different players. A fourth should end this weekend. And the fifth saw it's first elimination in 1915. Good stuff.
