Other than occasionally laughing at a fortress door joke. At pub trivia tonight I missed the first diplomacy question I've ever heard at a trivia night.

Well done, Bonaparte!

In another thread, I argued that the role of President of the European Council and the role of President of the European Commission (the EU's "government") should be merged and that this person should be elected by an EU-wide election.

From a Hoser's point of view, it seems like a no-brainer. Wondering if there's actually a reasonable explanation for the opposition. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/10/23/greedy-u-s-billionaire-urges-michigan-voters-to-reject-free-bridge-to-canada/

Stop keeping me awake.

It's probably a dumb idea, but I'll propose it anyway. A "Repeat Last Turns' Orders" button would be useful when you have a lot of units, it is towards the end of the game, and you are simply support holding across the map for a couple of turns, waiting for a draw.

Jill Stein v. Gary Johnson

In other words, good v. good. Thoughts?

We need more players.

Well by virtue of the reference in the subject, this thread *does* set a Godwin's Law record.

Welcome to the first "War & War" Diplo game series! The first game is slated to start in 2 days, so please join fast! The game is a WTA, 2 day phase, and Full Diplomacy channel. It's a 101 pt. game, so that should help the game be a bit more selective. See you in-game! >:)

I know you aren't allowed discuss games in progress, but is there any program set up for mentor relationships besides limited to the one SoW game? I've got the basics down but I could really use help/advice from a real veteran on what to do in the mid to end games.

So...from what I've seen, the only way to surrender is an auto-surrender, correct? Or am I mistaken and there's a surrender button?

I don't know how a situation would be resolved if I supported an opponent to a space that I was contesting.

Polls and common sense are now showing that Romney will win. From the states that Obama carried in 2008, Romney has three: Indiana, North Carolina, Florida; completely locked up. He is ahead in Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire, and within the margin of error in Iowa, Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, all the states that went for the GOP in 2008 are Solid Romney. With 2 weeks left, Romney is in an increasingly strong position to take the White House.

Someones being naughty.

I don't know why the word "Nazi" became so popular but, uhh, I'm not amused…

I know, I'm becoming a meme now. I'm used to shit like that.

Game 2 is in the books with a 4 way draw gameID=97352

Out of curiosity, who here has actually read any Marx (excluding the communist manifesto) properly, and then continued to disagree with him/think his ideas crazy etc?

What does voting "cancel" mean?

The political activist, anti-government terrorist, actor, and 1988 competitor for the Libertarian Presidential nomination is dead from cancer.

Austria-Hungary was a direct continuation of the Roman Empire. The Empire in the West existed until 1806, when Napoleon invaded it and the last Emperor, Francis II, abdicated. However, he continued to rule as Austrian Emperor until his death in 1835. The next few emperors continued reigning over Austria (later extended to include Hungary in 1867) until the end of World War One, when the last Habsburg Emperor, Charles, abdicated and went into exile in 1918.
