Sci Fi / Virtual Reality /Nano Stuff
Just read a sample download of "Ready Player One"...looking for a good sci-fi pub. Seeking modern sci-fi, virtual reality, but not old William Gibson crap. Let's talk sci-fi, peeps. (fyi: As a writer, I'm fascinated by the whole nano/embedded computer system stuff...it's what I'm writing about.)

noob questions
I'm fairly new here and figured out most things. Having played diplomacy before helped, but I've got a couple of questions that I don't find answers to in the FAQ's.

Rule 1: if you're it - pick someone online in one of your games and tag them.
Rule 2: if you're not it - troll the person who is it mercilessly.

Revision:
Rule 1: if you're it - pick someone online in one of your games and tag them.
Rule 2: if you're not it - your posts must mercilessly troll the person who is it.
Rule 3: only a person who created the game, those designated by that person, or an individual who becomes it through the application of rule 1 can change the rules.
Rule 3(a): A person who becomes it through designation may only make one rule change per turn.
Rule 3(b): Individuals other than the game creator and his designates may only change the rules once per day.
Rule 3(c): Rules posted by the game creator may not be changed unless specified. User submitted rules will take the form of U1, U2, U3, and so on.
Rule 3(d): Rule 4 may not be changed by anyone other than the game creator or his designates.
Rule 4: if you break rule 2, you are now it. (A person who becomes it through this rule may not change the rules {see rule 3}).
Rule 4(b): The rule for who is it be augmented.
Rule 5: Changing the rules is not considered a post.

Fasces is not it- you can't retroactively apply a rule you added after he posted.

Celticfox,
I don't know why you bother. I think everybody knows women can't play diplomacy like men can.

Its time for a Webdiplomacy app
I think the time has come for a webdip app. Honestly, this is my favorite website, and it would make it a lot easier for many people to have this site as an app. Preferably compatible for both Apple and Android

Portuguese skeptic, Francisco Sanches (1551-1623), from "That Nothing is Known"
Enjoy this excerpt. I transcribed it out of a philosophy textbook a few years ago. Since then it has been one of my favorites. I should note that I actually do agree, yes. I do not think true knowledge is possible.

Dinosaurs.
I don't know, but I felt like starting a thread about my favourite animals of the Mesozoic era, especially because they're bringing Jurassic Park back to the big screen.

Infertility in Gay Marriage
Since this forum seems generally agreeable to Gay Marriage under the concept of equal protection...should gay couples also be covered and treated for Infertility - the inability to have children, just as a heterosexual married couple?

What's the point in cheating?
I've wondered this about board games both board games and video/computer games. Please provide to me the behind-the-scenes into the psyche of the cheater.
-Does having more kills or WebDip points make you feel better about yourself?
-Is it really worth screwing over the other people involved in the game for you to get a meaningless win?
Please, help me get it.
