How exactly does the CD/resign/left thing work?

From playing a bunch of live games here is how I *think* it works. Could people correct and/or clarify my myriad of assumptions listed below.

EOG [LIVE] GUNBOAT " Fun Unlimited" Edition

gameID=86646

Congratulations to Chanakya. But Bob, what happened in the last move there? I had Munich covered, Bur could have saved Mar, and Portugal was not in danger? I don't understand. We were just one turn away from drawing.

Racist Swedish Cake

I saw this wonderful news article on the BBC and I thought it was worth sharing - not only because it's so ridiculous it's comedic but also because it reminded me of our resident Swede, Vaft :)

Could people please stop signing up for games and then not showing up?

I swear, every time I'm Turkey or England, people don't show up and screw thegame. If I'm Austria, though, everybody's there with bells on and eager to move to Trieste and Galicia right away.

Marxism

Marxism is fundamentally a theory of history which should entail a commitment to social change; that is, a commitment to a socialist future in which the forces of production are not owned privately as they are in capitalist societies but under common ownership.

Chelski playing Barca

And Drogzilla scores. I effing hate Chelski, but I have nothing but admiration for Drogba. It helps that they're playing Barca, who I fucking detest since their several year long campaign to stoke Fabregas' discontent. Seriously, fuck them.

@Ursa -- we need you.
I actually need one more to replace cuppsy, any takers?
Other than that, once 1-C is remade with Ursa and bfd_diplomacy responds to his email, we should be ready to start game two.

Looks like yebellz is the only one missing from 1-C. DILK has the password for 1-D. Almost there!

DILK (1539 )
15 Apr 12 UTC

So how do these games work exactly? Is it that the more games you are in essentially guarantees you a better ranking? I am basing this off of how you accumulate points and that you can be in multiple games at once
