MLB Playoffs
Well fellas, we're down to the last day. The Mariners' drought continues, the Cards continue to somehow stay in it, the Jays thank the Lord finally get a win to push them to the #1 spot. The Nats also clinched home field advantage over the Dodgers.

Any WS predictions? Is it really the Cubs' year? Can the Dodgers finally make it? Who's going to surprise? My money is on the Jays duelling it out with the Giants, but of course I have a strong bias. What do you all think?

I teared up a little when I realized that Italy was going to give his partner, Austria, a piece of the pie instead of soloing. There are happy endings in Diplomacy after all!

webDiplomacy continues to lose players
The number of players listed each month in the Ghostratings continues to decline. Every year, there is a peak around May/June. We peaked in 2011 with 3,571 players, and steadily lost players from then to now (if you don't count the 2013-2014 inflated numbers anomaly). This last May peak we hit 2,503. At this rate, I figure there will be seven of us left in 2029.

Frostweaver's Personal Comments on Live Gunboat-483
Just a note: I'm not playing in the game, just spectating and inputting my personal comments on the game's moves.

Classic opening moves were made by all countries - except for Turkey. Seems Turkey is susceptible to Russian retaliation from the Black Sea. Also quite interesting how Britain and France strayed away from the English Channel.

Facebook Diplomacy
I've discovered a bot that allows you to play chess on a Facebook Chat page using algebraic notation. Could someone conceivably create a Diplomacy adjudicator for a Facebook chat page? It might make Diplomacy more accessible as you can easily play with your friends without worrying for phase length, pauses etc. Would this be in any way possible? It's just a thought.

Rule Clarification - Absent Players
Could somebody please clarify the rules relating to a player leaving a game. How do attacked units retreat, or are they simply disbanded? When is a new player invited to take over and at what point in the turn (e.g. is it always after the build phase)?

Criticising the media
What the hell is the deal with focusing on female public figure's clothes/fashion shit? Britian and Scotland have female heads of government, why would i care about what shoes they are wearing??

I assure you, ora, if David Cameron had worn bright red or leopard print shoes that would also have been picked up by the media. If they were high heels, even more so.

I think the serious answer is that there are a lot of women who are interested. Very few men give a damn about shoes, but it's not all about men despite you seeming to think it is.

Seriously, you think that any news article about david cameron would have referenced his clothing and ignored the actual news or his actions as head of government?

Please cite some of your examples.
Octavious (2732 D)

@ora

You seem to be deliberately missing the point. Cameron has seldom worn any clothing that is remotely eye-catching. Despite this even he gets some fashion related media nonsense. For example:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2969362/Sam-picks-casual-clothes-admits-Cameron-PM-blames-wife-holiday-fashion-faux-pas-including-20-loafers-Spain-holiday.html

and

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1543983/david-cameron-carries-a-few-extra-pounds-despite-gym-sessions-with-top-trainer/

and

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/may/31/david-cameron-holiday-wardrobe

Also quite a lot of women are interested in shoes. There's nothing particularly wrong with this, nor is it wrong for papers (who have both male and female readers) to cater for this interest.

Politics has always contained a layer of vanity. The clothes a political figure chooses to wear is ultimately a political statement.
