I don't really do EOGs as I do have the recall some players do. But here is the game link should one or more of them wish to bitch about the game.

Is there any country besides China that could defeat the United States in combat.
This has been bugging me for a while and I would like to know if there are any countries that would have a shot

Any tournaments coming up?
I guess the title is self-explanatory, but I guess clarification can´t hurt :)

So, I´d like to know which tournaments, if any, are scheduled to come soon and when that will be...

The triathlon is done. The World Cup is almost done I think. So, the only tournaments going on at the moment are the league and the world map gunboat trny.
I'd say that leaves enough room for something new.

Do you have anything in mind?

Leagues can´t be joined right now right?

Maybe a tournament of treaties games, where you have to declare war a turn in advance and maybe you can have the option of alliances or non/agression pacts... I haven´t really thought of some shape either but that depends on the amount of players we can get too...

If you want to organize a treaties game tournament, you should contact King Atom. He seems to run a lot of treaties games, here and on vdip.

Speaking of vDiplomacy, there is a Tour of vDip tournament getting underway now -- ie play on every map.

Looking at starting the spring league season shortly, i was thinking of setting up a signup thread. At present there are a few games still going on, and i haven't updated the league spreadsheet with the most recent results... But we're about two or three weeks off signups for the new season; (four or five weeks off the start, i'd guess)

OK, that makes 2 in 2 days...
If it keeps going like this we can't do anything with more than with 7 players next week, or maybe 10 with Ancient Mediterranean, with 2 games and the players switching between...
It's something but let's wait to see what else we can get...
Is there an interest in another round of the Masters?
I was hoping to run a gunboat tourney in the new year. I have an idea of what I want it to look like, but I have not got to organizing it beyond that yet.

Keep an eye out for something this weekend.

the Masters is a gunboat tourney right?

We've got 4 people, if goldfinger is in, who'd want a gunboat tourney right now, so I guess we could do that... I think the Masters or something alike would be the best then...
Or just run 2, and with the leagues coming up I'll be in all 3 of them :P

Sign me up for tournament. Any stake you like, but preferably anon and 24-36 hour phases
No, the Masters isn't gunboat. Its full press, WTA, with 49 people needed to play.
another round of the masters sounds good

Two Questions about the Forum that I couldn't find in the help
1) If you mute a thread, is there any way to unmute it?
2) At what point do your posts and Threads move to the link that you can click on from your profile? They seem to be several weeks old. Is it a page count thing? or a timing thing?

Presidential amnesty
Our beloved universal genius, Master of the Universe and president of the Czech Republic, Tunnelgramps Václav Klaus recently ordered an amnesty for 1/3 of all prisoners to celebrate 20 years since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia he so masterfully orchestrated. Another 500 pardons are in the pipes as well, gotta help the pals out before his time in the office runs out.

The sciences
A recent post by dubmdell on the beauty of science struck me as being rather eloquent. It paused me to stop and think what the relative proportion of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students were across our various countries. In the UK in 2010, for example, there were 12,000 psychology and 10,000 history graduates. Chemistry and physics had 2,400 and 2,200 respectively.

Republicans defend the rich
I am from Europe, so I don't know much about American politics. I always thought that the GOP is for the hard working people. But it seems more and more that they just defend the rich. Sounds stupid to me, is a rather sure way to loose votes.

Trigger Laws
These are laws which do nothing unless certain conditions are first met.

So some (US) states will automatically ban abortion if Roe V Wade is overturned; or automatically ban human cloning if it becomes possible to achieve; however i really like the following rule: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

The Greatest (Love) Story Ever Told?
It's not "Romeo and Juliet"...surely we all agree?
It's not "La Boheme," however much I love that opera.
It's not "Les Miserables" (at least not the musical/film version, two lines and BAM! instant, undying love between Marius and Cosette...lol!)
So...what is it--triumphant, comedic or tragic, as we approach the romance of New Years', what IS The Greatest Love Story Ever Told?

Autumn 19XX Retreats
If a player earns their 18th center, the game ends. The game does not progress into the retreats phase; it simply ends. If someone can retreat into a center of the winning player, the game will still end. I understand that once you hit 18 centers the game is over, but my belief is that retreats are a part of the season in which they follow. If they are, shouldn't they go through, even if the player has gotten 18 centers?
