3, Pee-ED-mon, Ottawa. I wouldn't even give it a real 'N' sound, but I can't figure out how to phonetically show the proper vowel sound. I guess I give it my best crappy French accent.
KaptinKool (408 D)

Official pronunciation: [pjeˈmonte] - 2 syllables.

no one has gone for the over-zealous "pee-eh-du-mont" 4 count. interesting

Pee-Eh-Du-Mon-TTTTT, 5? if you really want to go crazy...
Chrispminis (916 D)
01 Apr 10 UTC
Paul, that's probably what it used to be called. Laziness tends to shorten names. So now it's just foot mountain, when it probably used to be foot of the mountain. Peeyay-mont, with a pretty silent nt.

KaptinKool, the wiki pronunciation you cite is Italian pronunciation and implies 3 syllables. pye-mon-te. Could be wrong, but that's what I'm getting from the page it links to. Unless the -te isn't pronounced as a separate syllable?
joey1 (198 D)

3 - Ottawa (I find it funny how Americans pronounce obviously French name (Like the capital of Vermont)
KaptinKool (408 D)
01 Apr 10 UTC
I concede, looks like Chrispminis is right, I think it is 3 syllables, I prefer to use two though.
Chrispminis (916 D)
01 Apr 10 UTC
Yes, but to be fair to you, they aren't the same three syllables I suggested. The frenchy in me would split Pied into two, whereas apparently the Italians would split mont instead.

Points for a draw if a player has 'left' the game but is not defeated
If one player is noted as having 'left' the game, does he/she get to share any of the points if the other players vote to draw?

Hello
As some of you know I have to make a paper on webdiplomacy with regards to social network analysis.
The theoretical basis of the paper will be Hedstrom's analytical sociology model about beliefs, wishes & chances.
So I would like that some of you provide some answers to the following:

Points
It's my understanding that if you have 100 or less points and enter a game.And are defeated your points are refunded?What happens if you have more then 100 and wager all points in one game and are defeated.Are all points refunded or are you now at 0 and the account is basically dead.Encouraging said player to set up a new account.
