This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Schrodinger's Cats and Consistency...
Aimed at those of you who, frankly, make me incredulous as to just how many highly intelligent physics thinkers are on the site...so, Schrodinger's Cat--I understand that there's a cat, radioactive particles, a 50/50% chance the cat is dead or alive...or both...what are your thoughts? (And if that cat DOES blur the lines between the differentiation of states...well, YOU change every moment via experience...is there anything constant about us, or you as "you," for that matter?

Amateur Gun-boat game
Any interest in one? If so I'll set one up, I'd like to play one, but I dont want to end up in one with some Gun Boat veterans and get my ass handed to me.

Austria Gunboat Tactics
As I'm sure we can agree an AH/R alliance can be as powerful as any, but how in a gunboat game can Austria safely go about communicating this? Discuss.

HTML5: Are we nearly there yet?
I notice the BBC are now using in-page SVG content.
We've seen youtube/google et.al. pushing the standard over the last few years, but this is the first time I've seen a non-web company supporting the formats. Have we turned the corner?

Advice, please?
Right now I'm pretty desperate. I'm Turkey, and I've got Italy, Germany, and what's left of Russia creeping towards me. Starting this turn Italy will start picking off my SCs, one by one. Can anyone help me out?

Support Move & Support Hold
If this is against the rules, then pardon me; I looked through the FAQ and didn't seem to find an answer to it (that I understood)

I played through the game with some friends, but for the life of me couldn't seem to figure out support hold/support move. Can anyone tell me in clearer terms the difference between the two, and how to use them?

America and England Aid The Libyan Revolution
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_us_libya

Interesting...I was wondering if it'd come to intervention--but to be honest, I'm GLAD the US and did so in this way--no troops, no occupation force, just batter them off the coast with one--and with friend England, two--of the best navies in the world--GREAT CALL by Obama in my opinion! Thoughts?

Etiquette on draw or cancel ?
gameID=49006. playing Turkey and a strange stalemate has set up. How long is too long to wait for England to eliminate France & Austria before offering to draw the game. No in game messaging disallows any communication. I would rather cancel than draw with 6 players still in.
TrustMe (106 D)
27 Mar 11 UTC
Etiquette dictates not posting in the forum about gunboat games esp anonymous ones... I would say draw is preferable. Cancel erases the game entirely.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
27 Mar 11 UTC
as described, this sounds like a draw.

it is NOT a cancel if someone managed to play all the way to a stalemate line (i haven't looked at this game at all, so i'm supposing) if their opponents also formed a 5 player stalemate line then they played well to stop this solo, and a draw has occured - there is no reason to cancel unless the game didn't happen, i think, if you cancel, it takes away from the success of the player who earned a stalemate position and stopped a solo.
gigantor (404 D)
27 Mar 11 UTC
If the stalemate line doesn't break down after 4 successive seasons with no SCs changing hands, you should agree to draw the game. It's certainly a draw, and not a cancel - what orthaic said. And lastly, you shouldn't have posted the link or given such specific details, then generally speaking it's okay to ask a question like this.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

Also, there are not 6 players still in as you indicated in your opening post.

I would be happy to give you some advice with regard to this situation, but only after the game has ended.

I say sneak into the computer lab while they're logged on, distract them, change their passwords so they go CD and win! Oh wait, that was someone else's tactics.
Wait it out the entire time. If you're not just holding out until someone quits -- as you've stated that you're not -- then you are well within your rights to refuse a 5-player draw when two players could easily be eliminated without any danger to the stalemate line.
fortknox (2059 D)

Next time ask the question in a general sense, or come up with a similar (but not the same) situation without the direct link. You just forced communication in a communicationless game. Pretty taboo and people will yell and stomp about that kind of stuff. But I suppose it is somewhat harmless if you are truly at a stalemate line.
it was over...
whoops nm, thought this was my thread
With hindsight - the gunboat taboo is a faux pas on my part and I shouldn't have posted. Apologies! The game has ground to a steady state and all strategy is now concluded. The only decision is how long to wait to see if anything moves . . . hence my basic question.
Damn, I shouldn't have been searching the forums. Just found someone else post a link to my own ongoing gunboat.
Actually, now that I've seen this...
Whoever is Austria: hurry up you sore loser. Saving rather than clicking ready on the autumn retreats and builds just because you lost is poor form. Stop wasting 85 hours of my time.

Hardest countries in world diplomacy
I've played a couple of world dip games and I've noticed that some countries are a lot harder to play than others: US for starters. Anybody have any thoughts? Are there any sort of win probability stats for countries in world dip?

WDU: WebDiplomacy University! (Your Real-Life Major/Degrees, Experiences, Etc.)
Since we have such a diversly-talented group, and a lot of us are around or past our college years, I thought it might be interesting to see who's who on the site...and to ask some inter-collegiate-major questions (such as, again, I MUST ask...WHAT is the actual, practical purpose of factoring and the quadratic equation--I asked MATH majors and THEY ahd no clue!) ;) So, step right up and enroll--name, rank, serial number--erm, Major--and one interesting experience!
