Obama: Ruthless or Clueless?
One of the big stories of Obama’s time in office was the death of Osama, which was widely regarded as a good thing despite no real effort being made to go down the arrest and trial route more normally associated with the good guys. Still, the way he was found raised a few eyebrows.

Why the fuck are people so fucking stupid? These things are here thousands of years and people fuck it up because of their dumbass superstitions. This happens with human and natural wonders all the time… why?

question re: convoys & support
If someone is convoying an army to a new location, and wants to support that move, do they need to support move form the army's location, or support move from the last sea location in the convoy chain?

It is a bad map, too lopsided and too few players to make the game any fun to play most, and by far, of the times...

Well played everyone. Fortunately France only dropped when a draw was certain. Austria was a very tough opponent, but with the start I had as Turkey and no way to coordinate with Russia and Italy I was able to blitz through the defenses. Was never really sure why so little progress could be made in the west.

Banning recently?
I returned to this site a few weeks ago after about a year's hiatus, and it appears to me that there has been a lot of banning of accounts recently. In at least three of the five games that I've been playing in the past week at least one player has been banned mid-game. Are the mods clamping down on metagaming or is this something that's just become standard fare while I've been away?

Solo-win / Draws
As somebody who's used to the original Dip rules, I always thought of Dip having one winner only. There is no second place. But here, I seem to have to get used to draws as a regular game ending. So I'm curious, what criteria do people have for draws? When to draw? When to solo?

Coastal Fleets and Armies
Alright, so say a fleet from Player A moves onto the coast of a territory. At the same time, an army from Player B moves into that same territory. Will they bounce? Or will the army take control? Or is it something else entirely?

Convoy into Landlocked Territories?
What it says on the tin - can a fleet in a coast area convoy an army into a landlock territory adjacent to the fleet?

IE, could fleets in the english channel and Brest move an army from London to Paris in one move?

"Superstars"
They prove to me over and over again that they simply aren't as good as the team they belong with. It's not just the big three American sports; hell, it's not just sports in the United States. Which superstar trade was the worst? And no, it's not Dwight Howard - not yet at least.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
24 Dec 12 UTC
My picks; I'll go by the five "big" sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, Euro soccer)

MLB • Gotta be Babe Ruth from Boston to NYY
NBA • Scottie Pippen to Bulls
NFL • Herschel Walker
NHL • Probably Gretsky
Soccer • Andriy Shevchenko (does that count as a trade?)

Okay, maybe Kobe for Vlade was worse than Scottie...

Ehh. Trades have to be considered in the context of the trade vlade was needed and performed slightly below average for Charlotte. Kobe was not proven and freed up space for Shaquille. Kobe's development was a bonus.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
25 Dec 12 UTC
It doesn't matter, though, smc. Trading Jeff Bagwell was the second-worst move the Red Sox ever made, and they did so when he was a minor leaguer.

Look at what wouldn't have happened without the trade:

• They wouldn't have signed Shaq >> no championships since the 80s
• Shaq would lead Magic to finals
• Magic would not have drafted Dwight Howard >> the Bulls, assuming they did, would not have been in position to draft Derrick Rose
• Hornets wouldn't have been in position to draft Chris Paul
• Charlotte basketball likely wouldn't have relocated
• Kobe's stats could be even better than they are now
• Charlotte may have competed with MJ and Ewing and Kobe would probably have 4-5 championships of his own either way
• Charlotte Bobcats wouldn't exist (which do you think MJ prefers … no Bobcats or no Kobe in East?)

It's the entire basketball world that changed with this trade… it's not like others where you can look back in hindsight and point out some things, but this one was huge. This trade changed basketball in unthinkable ways. Considering Kobe came out of high school as a kid that couldn't hit a jumper and wouldn't do workouts for teams, I honestly see what Charlotte was thinking. However, it still has that hindsight effect.

Yes, bo, and the Bedard trade, and pretty much every other one to varying defrees. Mariners' management is a joke.

The psychology of lying
Can someone explain the real joy of lying to seek unfair advantage ....... is it a moral defect? What is the pleasure derived from winning by deception, especially when you gain nothing in status and no financial gain. I find it completely fascinating at what is gained, what does it do for the soul?
