Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?
If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!
She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

Does anyone know why we have to option to have phases that are "1 days, 1 hours" or "2 days, 1 hours"? I'm just curious why we have that option?

Constantinople officially became Istanbul in 1930. So unless you have a long running game, Constantinople is the correct name for it.

The point of the thread is to be amazing, methinks. Just as the song and the city are amazingly awesome.
Why'd they change it?
I can't say.
People just liked it better that way.

@diplomat61 - 'Chennai' is the politicized fabrication of a nepotistic regionalist Dravidian regime intent on molding reality in the shape of a bastardized ideal. If you'd like to talk Tamil politics, and enough people on this site know about it, I'd be happy to make a thread :)

I've always wanted to have the opportunity in a game to use the phrase "That's nobody's business but the Turks". Preferably when being pressed for information on an allied Turkey's upcoming orders.

Isn't Chennai a Tamil name though? Like, I thought the name switch was to reflect a change from the British imposed name to a more indigenous name. (ie. like Bombay to Mumbai)

If it has nothing to do with rejection the heritage of Imperialism and everything to do with ethnic politics, please correct me. :)
I was surprised to see them on TV not too long ago. They are doing children's songs on Nickeloeon or one of those channels.

@Friendly Sword: It is supposedly in the name of what you have just said. However, the hidden political agenda underneath it is to promote regionalism and deter national integration. The states of Maharashtra (capital - Bombay) and Tamil Nadu (capital - Madras) are home to some very fundamentalist political groups that will go to any length to deny the relative cultural importance of the rest of the union.

A'holes leaving the game?
I just had a game where a person left the game for no apparent reason other than it looked like they may not win. This really throws off a game. First, how and why can a person do this? Second, is there a way to flag them or block them from games so they can't keep doing it to you?

Facebook diplomacy - any devs out there?
Hey, I'm a mod on the facebook app for diplomacy, but the person who set me up (and presumably has higher-level access) has gone incommunicado.

There are some problems with the forum and profiles and I wonder if the database needs a clear-out. Can anyone over here work on the facebook app, or is it totally stranded now?

The "Oh, Come On, It Wasn't THAT Bad," Screen and Stage Countdown
We've all seen it ...that disease known only as "fanboyitis" (or, since I suppose our diseases have to be politically correct nowadays, it's sister disease that's toally equal and in no way lesser than fanboyitis, fangirlitis.) A movie, play, book, or or show comes out- and it's great. The sequels come out- "Oh my God, those evil demons ruined EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!!!" So sound off on The "Oh, Come On, It Wasn't THAT Bad" books, shows, films, and, yes, plays.
