Reboot of cancelled world game: Gain the World, Lose Your Soul
Hey all, really enjoyed this world game I was in until it was cancelled due to a cheater CD. I was hoping most of the players in that game want to start a new one with about the same crew.. It was a high point world game, with a lot of players I'd love to play against again.

The curse of Austria is upon me :-(
I have Austria in all but one of my current classic games, 5 out of 6! What happened to balancing the countries you get?!I would think this was not supposed to happen with the selection program. Please advise. Unless it is the way the mods are getting back at me... (to be fair I am doing well in several of them, over 9 SCs in two, but still...)

We need someone to take austria in spring 1901.
Someone got banned in our game during spring 1901 (we are still in spring 1901). We need a replacement (for Austria). 2 days/turn game. 46 hours left at the moment since time was added.

if he would get a 100 card set the probability would be 10%
now he gets a 50 card set so obviously the probability is 5%
where's the challenge in your puzzles?

@centurion Poisson would only be an approximation. If you only need a few significant digits, just directly calculate the probability of exactly 10, plus exactly 11, etc. The probability of exactly 13 is gonna be something like 1/100th of the probability of 10, so it will drop off really quickly.

I have a problem. A nation builds 42 computers to attempt to find the question to the answer 42. They have a 1.3% chance of finding the question each year and a 0.8% percent chance of self destructing each year. What is the probability they all self destruct before one finds the answer?

While it is obvious Diplotool is a Hitchhiker's addict, he forgets one key element... He didn't specify the time frame this would run for. I.e. how many years will it take to find the answer.

As for the bonus points... The ultimate question wasn't found in the Hitchhiker storyline either because we all know the Earth was destroyed to make way for an intergalactic highway just as it was about to be transmitted.
Zarathustra (3672 D)

Draugnar is right. Also, 42 wasn't even the right answer to question it was answering ( "6 x 9" if I remember correctly).

Moves question (can't believe I have to ask this -_-)
If Russia has an army in Moscow and that army moves to another center and fails. At the same time Russia moves to Moscow from StP with support from Livonia. At the same time Turkey moves from Ukraine to Moscow with support from Sevastopol. If it matters the army in Moscow is moving to Warsaw which is occupied by a German army that does not move the entire time. Who ends up with Moscow?
None of the centers involved are attacked in any way besides what was described.

Given that it's cyber monday I think its ok to advertise this here. If you navigate to Amazon using this link: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=herndonchoirc-20 a percentage of your purchase will go to my family's high school choir. There's no hassle and you'd be doing them a big favour. Thanks.
