It's my webDip Birthday!

I'm 5 years old and about to play my 100th game! I would like to invite friends, new and old, to play. To be eligible, I'd ask you make a donation to the site (of any amount). WTA 36 Hours non-anon. Express your interest below. And, of course, thanks to Kestas, the mods, and the peanut gallery for making this the best site on the Internet.

Who's in? 17 world gunboats, one game as each nation, 50 hour phases, WTA, anon, ready-up preferred (but no means required), only prearranged pauses (example, if someone insists on a winter break pause, we will ask the mods to unpause at an agreed time if we don't unpause ourselves by then), 5

bets for a total of 85

buy-in. Who's in?

You still have 3hrs. Check your computer clock.

Hmm I wonder if it's some kind of Windows 8 bug. I just tried it from Chrome and IE and am seeing the same thing. It is a new computer, though.

Okay I am glad no one else is seeing it.

Are we going to do EoG in this thread? I almost feel like we should have a separate area for each game.. but that would be a lot of threads..

One of the games ended over the weekend and there was an EoG thread for it. Go check it out.

With one game over, I thought it would be interesting to look at trends in all 17 games and see which countries are popping up in the top 3 the most. India, Western Canada, Russia, and Argentina are apparently strong countries for this group of players as each appears more than 5 times, but we really seem to excel with Kenya (10 of 17 games with a top spot). On a side note, we suck with Libya and Frozen Antarctica, which aren't currently winning any medals.

How the hell is Argentina doing well in so many games when Argentina players apparently love to NMR?

Because there are only two countries on its continent and it has a natural advantage over Brazil.

World games actually have a pretty set pattern in how they play out. Once the games are done I'd be interested in seeing if you all agree with my thoughts on them.

I really wish these /continent sized nations/ would stop NMRing. The games have reached a point where it's not just tipping continental control to one power over another. It's reaching a point where solo potential is becoming more realistic and draw potentials are being threatened. This tourney has been great thus far, a true achievement, but it could be better... (i.e. /my/ nations could be doing better if not for these damned neighbors NMRing against our common foes! or more accurately, NMRing when my foe can capitalize but I cannot. ;)

Draws

Sifting through 10 pages of open positions, I am noticing that it's increasingly uncommon that people actually draw for a CD. In a few games, people have pushed for it, and others have seemed to have no understanding as to why they'd draw for a CD. Did this etiquette just disappear like magic? Pre-1903 CDs should *always* constitute a draw and post-1903 CDs should constitute a draw if they result in a loss of a line that would otherwise be present. When did this stop?
