Boycott News International
Do boycotts work? Should we boycott a pape and their sister papers and put in jeperdy the careers of innocent workers? Should we support advertisers pulling their adverts and protest against companies who don't pull their ads?

Game will start on next process cycle
How long is a 'process cycle' concerning a live 5 min/phase game?
I just ask because I joined such a game and ended up CDing against my will after waiting for 2 hours for it to start.

Diplomacy strategy articles?
I'm pretty familiar with openings... and general concepts for the mid and late game... and have read the articles available on these topics in the Diplomatic pouch (diplom.org) and the Diplomacy Archive (diplomacy-archive.com)... Where can I learn more about more specific strategies beyond the openings in 1901? Or, at least, where can I find more good articles beyond these two sources? Thanks!

Waffen SS
If it was August 1939, and you were a German, Aryan male aged 22 and were offered to join the SS (and you had no knowledge about what was to come) do you think you would have been smart enough to say no? Or would you have been sucked in by the lucrative notion of getting to wear that stylish uniform?

I Have An Honest Question Here...
This one's bugged me for a while, really, and I've just got to ask it:

If you believe God sent Jesus to die for our sins or that Jesus wanted to die for our sins and save us and all that...why? If he/they/both are God, ie, almighty, why not just "waive the debt," rather than self-mutilate? And why would either care at all? (and "because he loves us" is NOT a valid answer...somehow Hell + Pain On a Cross =/= LOVE to me...)

So here's the problem: I live out in the woods in this house I had had built to be hard to attack. There's a moat and landmines and an electrified, barbed-wire fence. Now the fence takes a heckuva lot of electricity to power, and the zombies chewed through the power lines, so the generator's only going to be keeping the fence electrified for another 3 hours. Seriously, the got through everything else the fence is the only thing holding them back! And I think their attracted by the humming noise the fence makes, so they're all just standing around outside waiting. They jumped my car when I was going with my girlfriend back to my house and ate her. I barely kept from being bitten myself. Anyway, I rammed my way through them accross the drawbridge and then ditched the car cause they were holding on the the rear fender. A bunch of them got accross while the bridge was down and when I got to the house, I tried raising the bridge, but the car was (and still is) on it. Should've bought a more powerful motor for that. And they don't seem deterred by the landmines. I tried calling 911, but all I got was somebody moaning the word "brains."

So now I'm sitting here with the smell of burning zombie wafting through the house (I've tried chucking incendiaries at them, but they keep coming back and now I'm out). I only have enough gas to last another 3 hours crap brb
lmao. My advice is, stop watching horror films.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

How are you stocked for weapons and food & water?

How deep is the moat? If it's deep enough, you may be able to trap (or at least slow down) a reasonable amount of them.

Remember, always save one round for yourself.
baumhaeuer (245 D)
12 Jul 11 UTC
I'm back. They had climbed up on each other at one point and were about swarm over the top of the fence but I managed to stop that with some gasoline and a match.

@abge: didn't you read? They got accross the moat already. And now I only have 2 hours and 45 minutes about till the electric fence goes down.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Jul 11 UTC
The electric fence is after the moat?

Also, I still don't know what sort of supplies you have. Can you mount a proper defense? Did you build a safe room that you can hide in?

Do you think you could run outside just long enough to put the car in park? The motor may be strong enough to make the car roll off.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

Barricade yourself on the second floor with all of your food. Fill the bathtub and sinks so you have water. Destroy the stairway. Prepare an escape out a window in the eventuality that they somehow get in. There is no defense so great that you should be unwilling to abandon it.

Can you tunnel out, possibly?

baumhaeuer (245 D)

No the safe room is under construction (was under construction). The fence is my last real defense. I have 1200 rounds of amo for my assortment of semi-automatic weapons, but that won't last all that long. I count about 1000-ish zombies out crap brb again
thelevite (722 D)

Silly question: Have you tried offering them your brains?
Use the internet to find someone with guns and helecopters and crap, call them. Send them the google maps of your house, then baracade yourself on the second story and wait.
you should have invested in a helicopter though
CDC would probably be your best bet
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Jul 11 UTC
You should spend your time taking out as many zomibes as you can while the fence is still up. If you're a decent shot and are patient, you should be able to get one zombie per round.

The problem is, you're still going to have a lot once that fence goes down. I think barricading yourself on the top floor/roof is your best option.
Priorities
1. Call help, in order of importance- Federal, State, Local Militia (if you are white)
2. Prepare the second floor as a fall back point
3. follow Abge's idea
4. Fall back with enough power to run a phone for a couple of hours.
take that back, the phone and the internet, we wouldn't want you to miss any turns
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Jul 11 UTC
Make sure all of your guns are laid out neatly and you have as many clips filled as possible. This will help you not panic when the final wave breaks through into the second floor.

I'M ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The zombies had broken through the fence. I think what happened was on of them smelled my girlfriend's blood in the car and crawled in. Anyway, one was sticking half-way out the driver's side window when I saw the car roar through and knock down the fence. After that, I was shooting like crazy at them (I hadn't gotten to destroying the stairs yet). I was at my last stand on the roof when my girlfriend's father called wondering where the hell we were. However, his calling, of course, caused the ring tone to go off, and my ringtone happens to be nyan cat! And the zombies freaked out and started jumping off the roof! So I turned the volume on to max and set it to play the ringtone on a loop! It was AWESOME!!! I just walked right through my house, out the front gate, and accross the drawbridge, shooting them in their backs at my liesure. I got to town as fast as I could and told everyone! We staved off the zombie hordes using nothing but the nyan cat! Now the only zombies left are ones we haven't shot or burned yet hiding in the woods. It was AWESOME!!! The zombie apocalypse was averted!

Always remember nyan cat! The universal zombie repellant!
