Panic--Unable to issue orders
I've tried to save/ready orders from IE8, Firefox, and Chrome on my windows 7 machine (from which up until now I've been able to) and the page just seems to hang even if I leave it for ~5 mins. Same result from Firefox and Chrome on my Ubuntu machine.Obviously I can post messages so I don't know what's going on...Anybody have ideas to help?

Live, but not at such a frantic pace
I have often wanted to play live, but not at such a frantic pace as five minute turns. Doesn't leave much time for diplomacy.
I wonder if there are others who would like to "play live" for a couple hours and then finish up on a 12 hour or 24 hour schedule.
Has anyone suggested that before? Is there a list of players somewhere who are interested in such an arrangement?

Multi-Account Check, Game ID 49803
What's the procedure for requesting a multi-accounting check? Please take a look at Game ID 49803. France is going to win. I'd just like to make sure that it was a fair win given that Italy supported him throughout the entire game. Thank you.

Nominate your own or discuss the current list.

I'll start by nominating Napolean Bonaparte. Skilled diplomate, ruthless military strategist. Escaped from more than one tight spot and was well liked by people who should have known better and were screwed because of it.

FireFox 4.0.1
Okay, so far I'm liking it. It does seem to load pages MUCH faster than 3.6.x. And they do claim their new javascript engine is much faster too. I'd be really interested to hear from someone playing a World map game to hear if it does indeed work better for calculating the enumerable convoy routes.

Holocaust Remembrance Day
Today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. At 10:00 PM a siren was sound all over Israel, to remember the 6 million Jews that were murdered by Nazis. For those of you who want to learn more about the Jewish Holocaust: http://www.yadvashem.org/

no Protestant nation ever kicked the Jews out to my knowledge, the one exception of course is germany and they were not religious during WWII. There was targeting of Jews during the Eighty years war, and im not saying a good portion protestants were not antisemetic, but you don't see the pogroms, expulsions, show trials, and mass killings in protestant nations.
i think i put it wrong when i said "treated them well" Jews wern't usually treated all that well in Islamic countries as well, but that was mostly due to their dhimmi status not a jewish identity

Well, they didn't do too badly in Spain for a while under Islamic rule.

Well I think part of the mythology behind the idea that Protestants were less harsh to the Jews is caused by the lie that Cromwell readmitted them to Britain or revoked the order of expulsion. This never happened. So part of the reason why Jews weren't victimized by pogroms in some Protestant countries is because there weren't any to begin with (English Jews had been expelled in the 1200s so there weren't any to attack by the time the Protestants took over). They were however expelled from Lutheran Norway in the 1600s, and did not reappear until the 1800s. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Norway.html

Ulysses Grant (a Methodist) expelled Jews in areas under Union occupation.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/grant.html
There were also efforts to expel them from heavily Calvinist Hungary, but these did not come to pass.

Anti-Semitic Leagues began cropping up in (Lutheran) Prussian-dominated Germany, and these groups created the environment that allowed the NSDAP to come to power. Hitler himself counted Martin Luther among the greatest three Germans in history, so again I reject the continued argument that Hitler was not influenced or inspired by religious anti-Semitism, especially since "On the Jews and Their Lies" was widely distributed by the regime. Protestant Churches in Germany all approved of the NSDAP's anti-Semitic policies, on the basis of Luther's writings. Kristnalnacht did not coincidentally occur on Luther's birthday. During Luther's time his anti-Semitic tracts inspired pogroms and violence against German Jews.

If Protestant countries appear more friendly to Jews, it may be due more to a lack of political power than a lack of trying. It's easy to advocate for 'religious tolerance' when you're in the minority.

Metagaming
In a game I'm in, I tried to convince a player not to attack me. He responded, "I wouldn't want to but pacific Russia is my friend from school." I told him that's metagaming, and against the rules, but should I report him?
