Where's the newbie section?
Someone mentioned Diplomacy to me, telling me it's a fun board game. So I googled it, found this community, and in the last 10 minutes I've been looking for the newbie section. I have no clue where to start, which games to join, etc. Where's the newbie section?

Occam's Razor and God
Occam's Razor is a theory that basically says that the least complicated option is usually the correct one. Atheists have been using this theory to state that God cannot exist, because a universe without God is simpler than a universe with God. (Continued)

Probally should have been in the developers thread.....
It would be similar to something similar to the facebook mobile notifications. A way for people without mobile internet to stay connected. Anyone with more knowlege about the plausibility of this should share their opinion.

World Diplomacy order entering buggage
Re game URL: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=26423

As the leader of the Ghanaian contingent in this game, I have found that I am unable to properly enter movement orders. The browser freezes and the game interface does not accept the move. I shall give more details in the subsequent reply.

At first it was my suspicion that the browser was to blame (google chrome), so I tried firefox to the same result. I tried a different computer, mobile phone then a computer in another country and have come to the conclusion that the error is with the map variant.

I am concerned that it would take too long to get dev or moderator responses (to avoid missing the next crucial phase), as I did send a message last night.

What advise can the foru,m denizens offer the humble leader of the humble people of Ghana?

My understanding is that when a world game gets to the stage you are at, there are SOOO many convoy possiblities that the javascript, which determines which places you could move to and from, gets very busy and takes a long while.

Usually people complain about timeout errors by Internet Explorer whereas it takes as long in Firefox but doesn't complain, just takes a long time. I thought Chrome was supposed to be a bit better, but don't know for sure.

I don't know if that at all matches your experience or helps in any way. Perhaps you could arrange with some of the others to vacate some oceans to reduce the convoy possibilities? (Lame answer, I know, sorry.)
scagga (1810 D)

Thank you for your reply, glorious comrade Alderian!

With the amount of latent suspicion (naturally), it is difficult to assure that we could effectuate such a course of action, but I shall raise it with my respected friends and adversaries on the battlefield!

Do you think we can invoke the powers that are to attend to the issue?

Respectfully,

The humble leader of Ghana

If you've sent an email to the mods, that's all you can really do, apart from going round their houses (and we don't want to start that nonsense again).

I don't think there is anything the mods can do. The javascript order code struggles with the complexity of things when there are so many possibly convoys. I know others have been able to get it to work by being patient and just waiting for the javascript to complete, but can't guarantee that'll work for you. There isn't a magic wand the mods can wave to make it work better.

If I Were a Muslim, I'd Be Offended...And Why Can't Palin Learn When To Shut Up...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20100719/pl_politico/39899 Now don't get me wrong, a mosque built near Ground Zero in NYC is a bit odd and I have mixed feelings about the issue, but to make the connection and say Muslims, rather than terrorists perverting Islam, attacked us bordering on outright bigotry. "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing," Nice, Palin, nice...

The Swearing Thread
However cultured we like to pretend we are on these forums, sometimes the bloody games require us to have a place to swear. There are no rules in this thread except pure bloody rage. Doesn't matter what language you're swearing in. I could do with some damn foreign knowledge myself.

I was just curious what people thought about the Vatican labeled attempted ordaining of a woman the same as child abuse. Do people support this move?

There has been a huge outcry, does anyone think it will cause the Vatican to reverse that ruling?
