A question: Who are we online?

This is a general question, or even debate based on why we change who we really are on the internet, and the reasons behind it.

Longer Turns
That's it, I've had it. I'm so freakin' tired of going from diong great in my games to doing shitty, just by missing one freakin' turn. I really need to hear some of you agree with me that we need some longer deadlines.

Unashamed personal advert coming up, so if you have a low tolerance for this kind of agrandisment, you are warned to switch off now...




TVB - 6:55 pm - Sunday

I am on the box (with Wombat) sounding off as to why he went to LSC instead of DBS...

I will be the good-looking one...

Enjoy

OK, however what is TVB, LSC and DBS?
flashman (2274 D(G))
04 Apr 08 UTC
TVB is a HK TV company,

LSC is Wombat's School,

DBS is the school attended by about 5% of the active members of this site and 97% of the account names...

I see, thanks for your explanation. BTW, I suppose that HK is not Hradec Králové (as my Czech Google says), but Hong Kong (according to international Google).

As for youtube... I need to vet the thing first, there is such a thing as embarrassment.

06 Apr 08 UTC
Oh I guess it's more like 5% dbs players 10-15% accounts
flashman (2274 D(G))
06 Apr 08 UTC
That is still a damning stat though Gobble... On average, each DBS player has 3 accounts?

TVB Pearl

I might find that all the juicy bits were editted out and I just appear as a bit of a bore...

Still, we live in the tv/internet era and it is nice to get on.

Your coverage was short, nothing interesting to say the fact, completely out-spoken in coverage and air-time by that other part (St. Paul whaever school, i think and his 2 sons)
flashman (2274 D(G))
06 Apr 08 UTC
Most of the best stuff was editted out...

Shame really cos Wombat talked about his friends and the opportunities he had been given and I gave a number of reasons for not chosing DBS. The producer wanted to concentrate on money though...

Actually, I thought the whole thig was pretty damning.

That Govt Spokeswoman looked very weak and did not give good answers and the DGS bit was magic... The plans they had for the new school had a ferrari parked outside the school gates!

Intensive Press Game
I would be interested in starting up an intensive press game. This is not for the faint hearted, and would involve only those who have the time to post at length about tactics, as well as life, the universe and everything. The idea is to get dialogue going, not to have one word answers to discussions of tactics, which happens all too frequently.

If you are interested, please post below. It would also be for a mid-ranking pot to spice thing up a bit.

WTA doesn't work - so I guess that's it.
This is a long complaint, a whine if you wish, and most of it is a re-emphasis of my philosophy that Diplomacy should be all about playing to win.

Please don't bother reading this if you aren't interested, it will waste 10 minutes of your life you will never get back. There is a serious debate to be had here, if all you want is to abuse me then start a new thread called "Noodlebug sucks" or something.

My complaint is against a class of people who play in games but do not try to win them. These people have a completely different philosophy to mine. I do not agree with them, but they have a right to play the way they play. I just wish they would stick to PPS games to do it rather than ruining WTA games...

i could agree to let you win in that particular game you're complaining about. you said your two options are a) agree to a draw (still open), b) fight to the death (probably meaning try to win, right?)

now you have c) france & italy let me win, i win after a long time, and i'm happy

Bug?
During the retreat phase, when a country has nowhere to retreat their unit it is automatically destroyed.

yet the game doesn't resolve it like that, it waits for the person to disband and finalize the order, or for the time limit to pass and it automatically disbands.

Is there an arguement for keeping it as is?

Question: Retreating
Have a quick question. If I were to attack Finland from St Petersburg, with aid from Sweden, would the retreating army be allowed to retreat to St Petersburg? Please not that there is occupying foces in Norway and Sweden, but the army in St. Petersburg is coming into Norway, leaving that region free.

Why I love Trolling
It's such a rush posting controversial but totally irrelevant threads which are supposed to show everyone how cool and unconventional and nonconformist I am, it's just such a shame that people read them and shake their heads and think "what a numpty." Because I'm daring and challenge authority at every turn and don't obey the rules because I'm too cool for school, I use rude words like a three year old to show how grown up I am and I encourage anti-social behaviour which will solve all society's ills by making bread £3 a loaf because the stores have to cover the cost of idiots like me stealing it, which of course forces more people to have to earn more money to feed themselves and become mercenary consumer slaves to the capitalist system so that I can make them feel even worse about themselves while Daddy bails me out yet again next time I go too far.
Of course I'm jealous of those real revolutionaries who are actually out there doing genuine protests and standing up for their beliefs and quietly getting on with living an ethical life without feeling the need to broadcast it to everyone, but I don't have the time because I'm too busy spreading the message to all the people who don't want to hear it. Because if the revolution is going to come, the people who are going to start it are obviously the people who play internet strategy games, and besides the moderators kicked me off all the serious anti-capitalist and environmentalist websites because they said I was "off message". They're all wrong and I'm right because I know I'm right and it's not about how many people agree with you it's about how much you believe in yourself. And yeah some people are genuine fruitcakes but not me because I talk sense.
