Got another job for the sexy mods
We paused a game because France had a family emergency but is now back and we have been awaiting Italy to come back due to his being the final unpause. He hasn't logged on since Friday and doesn't seem eager to get the game going. Well I wouldn't be in his position either lol

@ Chrisp (not about new account this time)
I figured since you would check the forum, I would ask you.
What is PW for B1 league, since ghost asked me to take over. I sent him an email, but I figured I'd ask here so that I can get in the game asap so that I don't miss press time.

PRISE 2009 exception.
Can "PRISE 2009" be left joinable until 7 players join? It may take more than 24 hours, but this can't be helped. Also, if possible, I'd like to know how many people had joined by the time it was canceled.

So has anyone ever heard of the theory? it's essentially that you are indirectly in contact with everyone in the world. so your friend has a friend, who has a friend, (repeat 6 times). so basically you indirectly know everyone on the planet, you just need to be introduced to them.

Discuss

jman777 (407 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
I've actually wondered that myself, but there is most likely SOMEONE who is in contact with them, which (even though it may be more than 6 degrees) means that you most likely are indirectly in contact with them.

Actually i just had a thought, do you actually live close enough to him that you go to the same corner shop?
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Very probably yes, assuming he's been into the village enough to be recognised. This is quite funny to read now I think about it - there can't be many people who know what we're on about, although it has been mentioned before
Biddis (364 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Nope :) It's cool so with 6 degrees does it have to be someone you're friends with or someone you've spoken to? Because technically we could make it in 3 moves Me-shop assistant-you.
jman777 (407 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
it would be cool if we were able to trace each other through our mutual friends......it'd be hard to do though cause we would need to be introduced to EVERY one of our friends friends, and then do that 6 times. it would take quite a while.
Biddis (364 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Definately, the immediate friends part is ok, such as, i have a friend whose been to new york for example, but then i'd need to know exactly who they know in new york n then exactly who that person knows etc. It doesn't really work i think.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Jun 09 UTC
Well, whilst he lives on the other side of the country from me, I know Ghost and I can be done in 3 moves through genuine acquaintances.
Biddis - yeh, lets take that one.
So, how about someone with a more interesting link :P

Invictus (240 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
Alderian, I don't know why but your post makes me think of a grown Yoko Ono living in a doghouse.

I still don't buy this idea. I mean, there are a lot of people in the world, some of them living in real obscurity. I can't get over uncontacted tribes in the Amazon and New Guinea.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

My understanding was it started out as the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Anyone was up to six degrees from Kevin Bacon which would mean that anyone would be up to twelve degrees from anyone else.

Why Kevin Bacon? Because he happened to have been in movies with a lot of big time actors when he was younger so is a big nexus point.
jbalcorn (429 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
@rlumly - no, it's MAX 6 people.
jbalcorn (429 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
6DoS was first. 6DoKB was a game that some college kids came up with. As it turns out, it is possible to go from Kevin Bacon to almost any film or television actor in 6 hops, for the aforementioned reasons. It's probably true of most actors, but it's easier with KB (because he has been in so many diverse movies), and funnier.

@ Jefe - I know someone who thinks he knows god, so I know you! But you have never sent me a birthday card or xmas gift, so I think I'm going to disown you.
jman777 (407 D)
27 Jun 09 UTC
@ maniac, they most likely know their parents and thus are connected with the rest of the world. it would make it 7 degrees though.
Maniac (189 D(B))
27 Jun 09 UTC
If the two sets of parents knew one another via the six degrees, that would make the babies chain 8 I think.
