Rage is Therapy II - Commentary Thread
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=34275

So we're kicking off another copy of Rage is Therapy - a public press only game where the players agree to be as annoying and snarktastic as possible in the channel. If possible, we're also not going to reveal who is playing what country, although it may become obvious due to writing styles.

This will be the commentary thread. Similar to SoW, it will be an opportunity for someone outside the game to offer feedback. President Eden has agreed to take this on, and the players in the game are free to offer feedback to his feedback in the public channel. Before the game starts, we'll probably due so in here as well.

'due so'?

You do realise that the Cantonese word for fuck is pronounced as due...

The most commonly used expression is go fuck your old grandmother, which is 'due leh lo mo', which can also be pronounced very close to 'delay no more'.

Not a bad omen for this game really.

Come on TGM, delay no more!

Anyway, I'd like to know what the commentators think of my opening: Turkey, fleet to Black Sea, army Const to Bulgaria and army Smyrna to Armenia... No prisoners here; no wimpy alliance with the Russians, just full on war with the Tsar.

In honour of the Irish Football Team, I am invading France as well: English Channel plus army to Wales. Obvious German support, and a quick convoy into the heart of Cheatland.

Oh come on guys, how many times do I have to draw Austria on this site? I get it in the Leagues, I get it in the Masters, I get it in the GFDT, I get it when I play gunboat, I get it WTA and PPSC I even get it when I play the ancient Med variety. Come on, for Pete's sake: how many times do I have to draw the same bloody country?

This is just ridiculous and I can't see the point of playing on a site which is so unbalanced as to be a complete joke. I have had enough. I'm leaving.

Why should I waste my time on yet another, 'Come on man, let's just leave Galicia alone for a change', and 'I told you I wouldn't attack Venice and I didn't. Why couldn't you just believe me and leave Trieste alone?'

Bloody juggernaut to my left and north while Italy farts about around Venice; France gets a free run in Iberia and the Germans start with two builds. Great game!

"Fancy a juggernaut? They'll never expect it. I'll tell England I'm opening north and he'll warn Germany. That leaves me clear. You need to get that fleet out of the Black Sea as soon as possible to prevent any Italian nonsense..."

I will move to the MAO first up and if you have left the Channel alone, I will go after Portugal. If you lie to me, we have war. Simple. I will work directly with the Germans. Otherwise, I will support myself into Burgundy first turn as well to keep my borders safe. I'd like to trust you more but I think safety is the best policy here. For some reason, you English seem to find it hard to trust us arrogant Frogs. If you do take the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea first off, we have a deal.

Three Fleets? Great idea. How can I actually let anyone know what I want to do though? How about I just invade Tyrolia and make everyone else think they are in trouble? I reckon a push into Piedmont would cause an upset as well. Mind you, with only one build first up, I'll still need to see who invades whom out of E, G & F before I can really decide. Yeah, I'm cool with Italy. should make it through to the quarter-finals.
stratagos (3269 D(S))
25 Jul 10 UTC
Heh. I was going to do something similar:

"Opening to the Channel? Really? Because that *always* works out for both of us.... moron"

"Fleet build SEV? Yeah, I'm not going to have any concerns at *all* about that. It's fucking ON, your douchenozzel"

Now that we all speak Chinese, it is time to point out that due to the dew on the ground this morning I will have to do what a man has to do and tell rest of you to delay no more with your feeble plans.

Now I know why Old Blue Eyes sang do-be-do-be-do so often... ; )

I am telling you strat - I will most certainly draw England and I WILL BE as annoying and snarktastic as possible in the Channel.

It's the thought that counts.
Flash, I know you might wishfully think I'm stupid to mask your own insecurities about your total lack of significant intellectual prowess, but I'm not going to be fooled by you claiming to be Austria and France.

Ava, you leave your ankle bracelet in the Lucky Horseshoe yesterday or something?

Draug, stop screwing with Ava's mind, I know your mother told you not to pick on the handicapped.

Killer... wait, what the fuck are you doing here?

Did you play diplomacy before you joined this site? Cause I didn't and I had to learn along the way and it was hard with people cussing me out instead of telling me what I should do better

So who the fuck are we waiting for? I wanna bust some chops already.
(Mod note: I have got to stop saying that phrase.)
BUMP so we don't lose the thread by the time we actually start the game. >_>

26 Jul 10 UTC
bump so you fucktards can comment
Draug, honest fucking question, did you join the game? I might've fucked up really fuckin' bad if you did.
Fuck, my bad, I see it now. This is a fuck up for the ages.
stratagos (3269 D(S))
26 Jul 10 UTC
You didn't fuck up, Eden, Draug did - he said he was withdrawing.

Although I think next time we'll get ten or so players who will race to get into the game - or just post the game without a password - then we really won't know who is who.

I could also make a comment about the contribution of the XY component of someone's genetic makeup being due to false claims that someone would withdraw when they did not, but I think that's a little low even for me.

The Tales Today That Will Be Classic Legends Tomorrow
We look into the past in the West and see a lot of heroes and stories and mythologies that still are important to us today. The Epic Of Gilgamesh. The Old Testament of Adam and Eve, David, Moses. The Iliad, Oddysey, and Aeneid. The Oedipus Cycle. The New Testament and The Story of Jesus. The Arthurian Legend. The Arabian Knights. Robin Hood. We have so many franchises and stories and sagas today- which ones will be/should be remembered and revered as classics in the centuries to come?

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Science vs. Ethics: What's Wrong With
It's the tale as old as time, "scientific progress" vs. "what's right." On the one hand, we have stem cells and other such biological and engineering works that could potentially improve life for mankind drastically, cure diseases, make man stronger, more versatile...man can literally improve his design. But then you have the other side, and the powerful question, "Who are WE to play God and alter such things?" Should we be afraid of "playing God?" Is there a line? If so, what?

Illegal immigration and drugs.
One of the main reasons why Republicans want to build a border fence is because of all the drugs illegal immigrants are bringing in, and when they do, they generally trample upon the land close to the border. (Continued)

Thoughts on Determinism.
I am a firm believer in hard determinism, and my beliefs in determinism (and cyclic universe theory) lead me to believe that god does not exist, not vice versa. I assume that there are quite a few people on this site that aren't determinists, so who is willing to argue with me?

How did you first learn about Diplomacy?
One of my History teachers in middle school had our whole class play it. I think we were making two moves a week or so, and his plan was to actually grade us on how well we did. I was Germany and was kicking ass... until someone snuck into the classroom one day after school was out and knocked over all the pieces. Our teacher hadn't written down the positions so the game just ended. It was lame, but some friends and I started playing on our own.

I need help joining games
Hello Developer: The game won't let me join games. Why would that be? I log in correctly, even changed my password, logged out then back in, but when I try to join games the system tells me I am using an incorrect password.

Is there a different password for joining games??? Obviously I am using the corrrect password to sign in, otherwise this wouldn't be happening, so I am confused.
