NHL sucks
I honestly challenge anyone who obviously knows nothing about hockey to keep high morale when the refs are literally maliciously trying to throw the game. I've never seen worse reffing in a series, and anyone who doesn't realize these are humans that actually get effected when the ref delibrately tries to blow a series against your team, should realize that it makes your team feel like they are skating though glue.

How can I become a crappier person
I have recently been told that I am funny, kinda weird, a stalker, spammy, and an artistic twat. Do you fellows at WebDiplomacy observe these traits about me? How can I become the worst me possible? What tips and advice can you offer? How can I become a shit human? This is a serious thread and I want to become even worse than I am.

You discover a map to buried treasure
There is a catch. While visiting neighors you find the map in the hands of their infant son. The treasure is likely real as youd heard of the map and its fabled promise. The problem is not just that a child is holding the map- its that the family desperately would need the treasure to pay off their debts or they may end up on the streets starving. However you also know the babys mother and father gamble, drink and are rather unsavory. What do you do?

New robot!
There's a new robot called the omnibus that does all the work that needs to be done -- faster, cheaper, and more accurately than any human can do. Wrinkle: only one person owns it. Is this a problem or a blessing?

As a two-time GM, I must say that I agree with everything Vashta said above, about game balance and the set-up of this one.

I was hoping to start on May 22 originally. May 15 is the day after I graduate, and believe me, I’m going to take a few days to be with my family and friends after my graduation as opposed to hanging around with you fucks. Dargo (co-GM) has a few things going on the week of May 22 and probably won’t be around very much. Memorial Day is not a wildly important holiday like Easter might be, but a lot of people travel and mafia shouldn’t get in the way of family. As such, I proposed May 30.

If we were to start before then, it would have to be soon - like, uh, in a week, tops, maybe next Monday. The council hasn’t received our setup yet, but it’s vanilla and HR and I already went over the specifics some time ago, so I’m sure that can be approved swiftly with DO and ND too.

So I guess, without speaking directly to dargo on the matter (that’s my bail out clause, in case both of these options suck for us, jsyk), which is better: Monday, April 24 (a week from today, which is now yesterday on the east coast) or Tuesday, May 30 (after finals, after Memorial Day, after those hassles are out of the way, and when it’s warm outside and only losers stay indoors and play mafia)?

Keep in mind that this game is not going to have a lurker-friendly ruleset, per se, so if you can't commit on one of those days, don't.

Just a suggestion that if you plan to actually do a game by nxt monday or the 30th --- how many players do you require? Would there be a signup thread first to see if theres enough players?

Maybe when ppl sign up have them state desired start date next to name or have them put (any)

Brain, where did you reach your conclusion about the game length data? The poll is about even split.

18 Apr 17 UTC
It is set up for 19 players and 3 subs but it is somewhat adjustable. I'll send everything to the council today. I think starting in a week would be a bad plan, but any time after that is going to get right up into finals and I don't want that, nor do I want there to be any chance of having to GM during graduation...

And darg is gone the week of May 22, so that is where we're at. Starting in a week just seems like too short a layover.

obviously the start time is decided by the GM Team and the community. I personally would prefer something before the end of May (Memorial Day), but I do agree that next week is a little too soon.

Radical suggestion here why not step aside and let maniac run his game he was promised like 7 games ago but keeps getting put aside. Let ppl GM who dont have major timing conflicts and try GMing m30 or m31.

Diplomacy: Is Germany Too Weak?
I noticed that Germany is considerably weaker in Diplomacy than it's historical counterpart. In game, Germany can very easily be knocked out by England and France. However, historically Germany was able to fight competently on three separate fronts. Does anybody feel that Germany is a little misrepresented in game?

Coup in North Korea
I was trying to think why Trump would engage in such brinksmanship with North Korea. Sure, it could be just more inexperience, etc, but then I was thinking that maybe the goal is to scare the generals there so much that someone bumps off the Great Leader. Then I started thinking, that's probably why he rubbed out his half-brother recently.

"rolling dices"?
I just won a 1v1 against CptMike, however he was getting really angry at me, saying he does not want me to join any more games that he has created, accusing me of "rolling dices". What happened according to me is that I lured him into trying for Munich in Autumn 01, then bouncing him out of there and basically leaving him with only one build.
