I guess I successfully predicted the future in the October ghost ratings topic
As of Friday, I was in four games. In the last 24 hours (well, 30 technically, but it's close) I received the following message three times: "You were defeated, and lost your bet; better luck next time!" Bye bye, highest GR spot for me to date. I've never been so soundly defeated so often in so short a time.

The United States Shouldn't Have Entered WW2
The United States intervention in World War Two cost 418,000 American lives. And, really, what did the United States gain from it? Hitler was gone and Nazi Germany was destroyed, but much of Eastern Europe running from East Germany to Russia was under the (de jure or de facto) rule of Stalin and the Soviet Union. U.S. intervention fostered the spread of communism by destroying its primary opponent, fascism, thus setting up the Cold War for the next fifty years.

The Octopus
I have always been intrigued by this opening (sev-->black sea,
warsaw-->galicia, moscow-->st pete's, st pete's-->gulf of bothnia) but have never really had the balls to try it out. Does anyone prefer this opening/has anyone won by this opening? Any general thoughts on its merits/detriments are welcomed.

Maps
Hi I used to use the email dip judges, and am rather new to the Webdip site. I really like the setup, but I'm not a huge fan of how the maps are drawn. is it possible to generate a "results" map without the arrows for a more uncluttered look?

New fast pased game!
I am wanting to sit down and play a good game. I was wanting it to be 10-20 min for each turn. Bet only 5. It would be zero but it seems that is not allowed. I require 6 additional players. If you would like to play reply to this thread and spread the word. Once I have the needed players I will post the link to the game. Enjoy, looking forward to a game and have a good day.

Irregular etiquette... cheating
In game Supper's ready France and Austria has a strange comportament:
Austria has 18 SC plus other 2 SC to conquer to France and win instead he does not finish the game leaving the SCs to France while France announces that he wants more England's SCs before Austria win...
It's not regular do I ask the intervent of moderators...
Thanks

Male / female pay equality
I just read an article on the BBC, basically someone got sacked for saying women in New Zealand get paid 12% less, but it's because they need more leave (in particular he hinted at women's menstrual cycle as causing regular sick leave in some women)..

If you see someone post something so ignorant, so enraging, so *wrong* that you just *have* to respond - the odds are they don't believe it and are just trying to get a reaction. Mute is your friend

RedHouse:

You may be right. Maybe I should have addressed this privately, especially when I was making a case for an honourable retreat. It looks as though my advice has gone unheard though, so I guess that's that!

I dont meta either, with the exception of once. And i dont blame draugnar, he has every right to shame me if he wishes. I kind of deserve it. Plus, he said he dogs on me in the forums for fun, because he thinks i can take it. He PMed me once to tell me. Oh, and draug, i fooled you, im not russia in that game. HAHA! But i got you right. Turkey. Either way, in that game im basically dead too.

Nelhybel (280 D)

And just read the topics regarding you...

I don't see how much cheating you could get away with here, but I say to ease everyone's mind, you have somebody else do the randomization of brackets (you can still do public announcements regarding the tournament and what-not).
ghug (5068 D(B))
17 Oct 11 UTC
I agree with Nelhybel, as a repeat victim of your cheating (I consider it to be twice despite it being in the same game with the same person, but that's not important her) I think I would feel better if someone else did the randomization, or if you seeded based entirely on GR.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
18 Oct 11 UTC
I will do randomization, with random.org a random generator and one of the best free ones,deciding the order. and if necessary ill film myself doing so.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
18 Oct 11 UTC

18 Oct 11 UTC
Make that 11.
Nelhybel (280 D)
18 Oct 11 UTC
Have somebody who is respected on these forums to do the randomization using that website or whatever program - you make it sound easy, so I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a person willing to do it for you.

Don't try to use the low point value as a rationality that you won't cheat, it's condescending and degrading to the participants. Just have somebody else do the randomization.
patizcool (100 D)
18 Oct 11 UTC
I'm willing to do the randomization. I no longer have any stake in this, but do still agree it is a good idea and would like to see it run smoothly.
ghug (5068 D(B))
18 Oct 11 UTC
I'd be up for doing one at some point, I just don't want Diplomat running it, and I have a few too many games right now.

ghug (5068 D(B))
18 Oct 11 UTC
First he metagamed with his girlfriend, then they punished them for it, then she left the site. Everything seemed fine until he nagged her until she came back so that he could assure a victory in a game in which his metagaming had already given him a large advantage, Then, yesterday, he created a second account.

That clear things up?

Young-Earth Creationism
I learned today that, according to polls, a solid 40-50% of Americans believe in Young-Earth creationism, the view that God directly made the Earth and humans (no evolution!) about 6,000-10,000 years ago. Yay for American intelligence!
