Russia 1902 builds
I have a scenario for everyone that I just want their opinions on. In general, I'm terrible as Russia and the 1902 builds always trick me up.

Perry's new voluntary tax.
Sorry, Perry fans, but a voluntary tax seems to be a bad idea. Discuss it here.

The most aesthetically pleasing sight on a diplomacy board.
For me, its a 7 SC Austria controlling all the Balkans in the middle game. I don't know why, it just looks good. Share your own thoughts here.

Dear Occupy Wall Street Protestors:
Get a job or, failing that, get a LIFE.
Promotion of Power and Self-Interest are the motivating factors in human decision-making, and have been since we made the first fires and sharpened the first spears. Yo're not going to override human nature, you're just making asses of yourselves...set REALISTIC goals or set yourself to the task of misery (if its the latter, enjoy...I know I will.)

Make Your Bid for webDip F2F 2012!
The Boston F2F was so amazing, I really want it to happen again.
I think the best way is for interested people to make bids (like the Olympics, but less corruption) for Event Coordinator (EC) and Tournament Director (TD). Please take your bids seriously. As Crazyter and I can tell you, this is an immense undertaking. See inside for more details.

Interested in a game?
So I just found out an old friend also plays Diplomacy and I've introduced him to the site. We've decided a live game on Thursday probably around 11am est would work best for his first game here, so I'm trying to find quality players who won't nmr. I haven't decided on specifics so far except for day and time so input is welcomed. If interested send me a pm or post below.

The most important clarification I could request

When they say, "Throughout the pants there are multiple hit marks, stains, and tears," do they mean tears like parts that were ripped or tears like crying? I prefer the latter explanation.

War on Terror
I had a professor today make the claim that the US let Osama Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders flee into Pakistan from Afghanistan in order to enable the "War on Terror". Thoughts on that?

hilarity of the day
My little sister, 16, who I've always found to be a sharp young woman, mentioned today that she does not really know which months go in which order, something that to me seems should be a given part of any education. When I asked her, "Well, what the heck were they teaching you in 2nd grade?" she giggled and replied, "Jesus."

Good thing those private schools have their priorities straight, eh?

Only drawback would be the required knowledge in order to keep such a machine working without needing a team of 15 people like they used.

OMG! Paintball guns for "feedback"? Ambient lighting to match the screen, the screen moves as the player turns, and that kewl elcalator system... Holy shit! That is too fucking kewl! And I'm only 7 minutes into the segment!

Replace the paintball guns with zappers at the various bodies points one could get hit and attach each to the games response for a hit in a location.
My dreams have come true. Holy crap.

and @ Draug - yeah that would be good to simulate hits, but perhaps something is still needed to simulate near misses. What happens though if you're killed by a grenade?

i didn't look like they were simulating near misses, they were firing several paint balls at you for each hit and some of them happened to miss because the paint balls were not aimed...

still i think this added to the fear/adrenaline, because of the random element added to being hit by the paint balls.

For all you religious types out there...
Question: is it more sinful to get a gay divorce than it is to get gay married? I mean, say you get gay married, BAM! You're going to hell for sure, right? But then you realize the error of your ways, and decide you want a gay divorce to get back into God's graces... but divorce is a sin too!

So is it better at that point to just stay gay married? Or is the the flames no matter what? I'm so confused...

Russia-US Rail Link
The BBC have released this article/video ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15387714 ) detailing outlines for a Russian plan to link Russia with the US by an underground train tunnel link across the Bering Strait. Despite the cost, it sounds amazing! What do the rest of you think?

Steven Pinker on A History Of Violence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MfYlSBbp0k4

Since this forum seems to lack in optimism, trust in institutions like government control over violence, courts and modern society in general, this rather long video by professor Pinker seems like a good thing to post here. Anarchists, watch out!

An interesting little "bug" that could affect GR...
So, this game (gameID=64994) was drawn in the last half hour (around 9:45am), yet the time stamp says it ended at 5:30pm Eastern last night.

If this had been the first, instead of the 24th, this game could have been included in the previous month's GR. Something seems amiss there.

why did the germans go on fighting??
just a curious question, is there any clear reason why the Germans kept on fighting when all was lost??
it was suicide while they could probably get a peace agreement...
did they do it because Hitler said so?? were they that loyal?? answers please...
