Anyone Need A Tutor? (Or Know Someone That Does? Or A Good Tutoring Site?)
I don't want to, but as the only thing I can do REALLY well is literature and theatre and philosophy and all that jazz, I'm trying to get a tutoring job now, along with applying to all the regular places, retail and restaurants and all that...trying to find some folks in my school, but I need to get going, and I could care less if it's online, if that be the preference...so does anyone know someone who needs an English tutor, or else know a site that's hiring (or anything?)

Statistics of Winning Nations from all Finished Games
Because I don't know all hidden places on this website -took ages until I found the rankinglist- I just want to know:
Are there statistics of winning nations from all finished games? It would be really interested to look into, maybe filtered by gunboat, normal, etc.

Do points = Clout?
Just a topic i was curious about. Since my return here to the site it seems that since i have over 100 D that my allies are more easily won by show of total games played/won/return on investment rather than the actual diplomacy aspect. I know that we are a easily persuaded race but what are your thoughts on the matter?

The Second Metagames sign up thread
The first Metagame series just ended, and congrats to LanGaidin for winning it.

This is the sign up thread for the new one.
Fasces349 (0 DX)
27 Feb 11 UTC
Basically the Metagame is 3 games which include the same players where metagaming is encouraged.

The points costs will be 10 D per game, or 30 in total.

So are all 3 games played at once?

Yes, Texas. As much as possible. And deals are brokered back and forth between those three.

I definitely want in on this. Question is, what are the game options as in anon/non-anon, 24 hours/2 days/etc. I have 2 games ending, so I'm definitely up for something like this
SacredDigits (102 D)
27 Feb 11 UTC
They're non-anon so that you can share favors across all three. And I don't think I ever took a single center from you, Hellenic, because the only time I was even close to you was the game where I was Germany, and I was messed up in that one anyway.

"Depends, am I going to be ganged up on by everyone in all 3 games again?"
It turned out for the best for you. You could have come in third overall if you didn't give the game to Lan at the end.

"I definitely want in on this. Question is, what are the game options as in anon/non-anon, 24 hours/2 days/etc. I have 2 games ending, so I'm definitely up for something like this"
36 hours, non-anon because you want to share allainces across games.

And sacred does have a point, the only player who never attacked you (until you stabbed him) was him.
Spryboy (103 D)

I would like to do this.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
27 Feb 11 UTC
I'll say this much; that was an extremely unique way of playing - where you broker deals across simultaneous games. It makes it challenging to determine if/when/where a stab is going to occur because it could haunt you in the other games. Sometimes you want one game to move ahead of a different game; sometimes you want them finalized near the same time.

It was fun and challenging. Play for that reason... do not play if you're goal is ghost-ratings. I'm sure mine will take a hit:)

If Fasces, butterhead, and I were all in these "metagames," then you have a perfect setup for max metagaming. ;)
Fasces349 (0 DX)
27 Feb 11 UTC
@Alex: Most of those who played in the first have less then 500 D. You don't need to be good at diplo, you just need to play to have fun.

@Lan: That is probable, are you up for another one or no?

@Spryboy: Since when am I a metagamer?

Confirmed Players:
Fasces349
Dan-i-Am
Spryboy
butterhead
Spryboy (103 D)
27 Feb 11 UTC
@Fasces: I didnt say anything that you, butterhead, or I was a metagamer, but knowing our game history on Vdip, and that we are encouraged to metagame in these games, we can easily target each other. (Espicially since the Patriots fan will need to die :P)
Alex987 (174 D)

Katsarephat (100 D)

If the phase times were longer (48 or 50 hours) I'd play. As it is I'm not sure how well I can commit. :-(
Spryboy (103 D)
28 Feb 11 UTC
Ah, Fasces, I'm sure you have never heard of my account on Vdip... butterhead clearly has... I am the little known Imperial Civilization on Vdip.
Fasces349 (0 DX)
28 Feb 11 UTC
Well why didn't you say so. Why the different name Spryboy?

Are we all willing to change the game speed to 48 hours or should we keep it at 36?

I am willing.
Spryboy: YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!! LITTLE KNOWN!!! HAHAHA.

@fasces: Spryboy44 is my generic username. I still question my choice to have two non-generic names for facebook-diplomacy and vdip. (Actually my facebook webdip name is my former generic username)
also, I can't believe you couldn't get it after the:
1.Patriots mention
2. My metagames mention on vdip
3. Butterhead's Panthers mention

Spryboy (103 D)

Imperial civilization implies I will crush the world, by expansion after expansion. Im sure by the games you have played with me that that wouldn't describe my playing style. Also, I was the only panthers fan in that debate.

Newbie question on Ready and players who aren't there
I am in my first game, and we have a player who signed up but is not making any orders. So every time we all hit Ready we have to wait fot the full time. Is there a way to get rid of the player so we can go more quickly? And why do people sign up if they do not want to play?

Sorry if this is a silly question - I also could not find a way to search the forum to see if someone else had posted on the same thing. Is there a way I can do that?

Shameless, hopeless bragging.
So I know it's not really special, but I just played my first successful juggernaught (i.e., lasts longer than 1901) and what's more, it was in a gunboat. Those of you who have played against me know I am pretty average - and you can see that from this game, too - but I'm happy with this and had to let my pride out somewhere. gameID=51955 :)

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: The Root Of All Action (Evil? Obi Has A Theory!)
Well, I didn't want to do three faith/religion-centric Philosophy threads in a row, for those who are tired of it, take this one any way you want--is there a root of all human action, and if so, what is it, and what does this mean for ethics and morality in general? Is there a universal root, and thus a universal morality? Well, I don't know about MORALITY, but I DO ahve an idea as to the root...perhaps not an original idea, but anyway...

Convey through Balaeres in Ancient Med?
From http://www.variantbank.org/results/rules/a/ancient_med.htm (the supposedly official variant site): "Since Baleares consists mostly of water, it is considered a sea space for the purposes of convoys, therefore a fleet occupying Baleares may be used to convoy an army using the normal convoy rules." However, in a game that I am currently playing, it appears that despite the presence of a bordering coastal army, I cannot order a convoy through Balaeres?
