The Boroughs Diplomacy Tournament
I am currently organizing a F2F Diplomacy tournament in the beautiful City of Marlborough, Mass. A few years ago, the webDip F2F tournament was a great success and I encourage everyone to consider coming. Details within.

Daylight super-saving time
So, I checked the calendar for sunrise in Holland. Latest sunrise during the year: 8:48 AM (from Christmas to New Year's this is fixed). What if we do this: all secondary schools start their first class at Sunrise+27 min until the sun rises at 7.03 AM, at which time school starts at 7:30 AM for the rest of the year until sun rises after 7.03 again.

March Madness Help Needed!
So unfortunately I live in the UK at the moment and only have a UK itunes account and this means I can't legally stream march madness, normally with sport this isn't a problem as I have no qualms with an illegal stream, but since it is free to stream normally I am struggling to find a place to watch March Madness - if anyone could tell me how to solve this horrible problem I would be very appreciative! Thanks.

Can anyone speaking languages other than English translate this phrase please into their language? - "Fuck my brown dog!"
It is the favourite exasperated expression of a colleague, who has been advised to find an alternate. Thanks in advance

Random Power Selection
I've been told by some people that power selection on this site is entirely random, and by others that it's weighted random, biased in favor of powers you have played less often. I didn't see anything in the Rules/FAQ, though I could have missed it. Anybody know the answer?

When negotiating the Balkans or the Netherlands/ Scandinavia, ownership has trends. This thread is to explore how players view ownership of centers in 1901 before the first move is even made. My first post will explain more.

I find it hard to get excited by yet another ceasefire in Turkey. It'll be nice if it works, but I'm not convinced that the fundamental issues behind the conflict are anywhere near being resolved. Still, time will tell. Maybe watching everyone having such a great time in Syria really has forced the more gun happy in Turkey to change their attitudes

I've been to a lot of the places where this has been kicking off; Diyarbakir, Sianlurfa, Batman, Mus, Van, Sirnak, and I have to say the oppression these people live under is frightening. We were stopped by masked men with G3 rifles a number of times in this area, there are watchtowers everywhere and attack helicopters flying overhead on a daily basis.

Is this true there is a lot of petty crime in Batman?

21 Mar 13 UTC
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not Nigee, but some kids actually did pull a knife on us in Batman. I took out a much larger knife, and they instantly started laughing, became charmed and bought us a drink in a local bar that their relatives owned. So all in all I would say they were just trying their luck, and weren't very malicious kids.

You have interesting drinking partners, SYn. I'm quite an easy going kind of guy, but I tend to take a dim view of those who try to rob at knife point, and no amount of getting to act like Crocodile Dundee would improve my mood enough to want anything other than to give them a good kicking.

Did you do the 'you call that a knife?' line? Please say you did :D.

Global Gunboat needs player pickup

A player was banned and needs cheap pickup. Spring 1901 Diplomacy, no turns yet processed, so you haven't missed anything.
I do hope this doesn't constitute commenting on an ongoing gunboat. Please come help complete the game.

In tournament style games I've read about you pick your country before the game starts based on a selection order. It would be nice to implement the feature on here for locked games.

How do you "leave" a game?
I've seen different games where it says "Left" on the player's line. I don't see where you can click that - there's a Pause / Cancel / Draw option, but no "Leave the game" option.

Can anyone tell me how this works?
