He asked a general question about crashed games and if they were recoverable or restartable. He didn't ask about a specific game. Who the fuck locked it?

Have Diplomacy been used in education?
I am Japanese. I do not know what significance the game of Diplomacy has in U.S.A or EU. In Japan, it is said frequently, without any evidence, that the game of Diplomacy is a somekind of textbook to learn politics or other branches in junior high or senior high school. Is that really?
It was designed for that purpose, yes. Civics teachers and the like will ocassionally have their students play (or at least try to), but the practice is not especially common.

Some teachers and professors use Diplomacy in high school and college to teach, but not many.

I had a teacher that used it to accompany traditional classroom teaching. Of course, the value that it holds is relative to the discipline of the class and the approach of the teacher.

We played it in class, but it was only for recreation and to make history more appealing. Diplomacy does not teach real-world diplomatic strategies, only WWI strategies with a bunch of hidden knives.

^--- disagree the tactics and strategies involved in Diplomacy are just applicable in real-world life as in this subtle boardgame.....

Thank you for your replies.
I am surprised that there IS such a case, if not many. It is very interesting.
Are there other (board) games which make such a contribution?
Or does Diplomacy have something special status among board games? (Unfortunately, Diplomacy seems to be not a major game in Japan.)

Settlers of Catan is pretty popular among business students, from what I understand. I've heard of business professors recommending it, but not dedicating class time to playing it.

Poleconomy was pushed as a way of teaching an understanding of free enterprise, but no one plays that because it's shite.

Science Weekly: Decoding Dreams
Science reported today that new research allows scientists to decode and predict objects in people's dreams. We are decades off from being able to watch dreams like movies, but this is still a major achievement. Thoughts on what this means for perhaps a person's most private type of experience?

Game is still on Pause Mode
I am currently in a game called world wide gunboat! - 28. A player was removed for duplicate accounts and the game has been in pause mode since. Everyone has submitted their orders and is ready for the next phase, but it is not moving on. Many players are voting to unpause as well. Is this a fluke? I am confused as to why the game is still in pause mode.

Lets start with a definition. Conspiracy Theory - A theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act.

How do we get a game unpaused?

Been paused since the downtime, some players are probably not coming back. I have no idea how to contact a mod or admin.

Coin Donations
Is it possible to give coins to other players? I won my last game by just going ahead of the other players one turn and then none of us could continue playing afterwards, so I won by default. I feel bad and want to know if I could divide the pot I won between them.

A Call for Blind Diplomacy Voting (only see your own votes)
Diplomacy should be carried out through your moves, and if press is allowed, through your press, but not through voting signals. Some conspiracy theorists believe their are hidden meanings in unusual votes -- in my experience it is b/c of us cell phone players with fat fingers... Gunboat should not have this communication tool, and in press you can reveal or lie about your votes all you like...
