Anyone out there know of an operating system that is both free and worth using? I'd like to shave a speck off Microsoft's share of the home PC market.

So, how do I contact a moderator?
There's an ongoing live gunboat I'm in with an alliance that is too damn effective. So, who do I PM? I don't think anyone should lose the points from this piece of crap game.
I mean, I get that you can signal a desire to work together, but these two have never had a false support all game long.

[email protected] is where you can send your accusations/suspicions
Thanks. It's a gunboat, so I don't feel I should post a link to the game now, but after the game, it will be obvious to anyone who looks at the game from Autumn 02 on exactly who the cheaters are; it's not like they made a real effort to conceal it when every single support works.

I will tell you though that there are some players on this site who are more then able to do what you described without cheating. If you know the logical moves to make in a game and how a person will move then having an alliance really is not that difficult. However if these are 2 relatively new players that becomes exceedingly suspicious.
These are more than just logical moves. Look, if the players have a bunch of games under their belts, I'm willing to back off the accusation. However, we're talking two players that never had a chance to signify any sort of alliance until Autumn 02, haven't put a foot wrong since then, and watched blithely as one of the two put units next to unoccupied home SCs on their way to another location.

Thanks for holding off on posting the link.
Oh, it will be posted, the moment the game ends if I stick around, or the next time I visit if I don't.
This is the 3rd time in the past week I've been completely certain I'm in a fixed game; I think I may have to go to password games only.
So, who are the mods here? I know Ghostmaker's one, but I'm curious who else is.

Bob, unless the mods confirm they cheated, don't put the game ID up. It's against the site's rules to do post cheating accusations in the forum. Once confirmed, they'll be banned and you can post away, however.

Chrispminis, figlesquidge, dangermouse, thewonderllama, TheGhostMaker, and Alderian(?)

Although I dont see dangermouse or thewonderllama around pretty much ever. figlesquidge used to be on alot but I'm not sure where he went.
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=35483

That's the link. And the metagamers are obvious. If you look into their histroies, it's even more obvious they're metagamers. This pairing is responsible for another of the games that I referred to as obviously fixed in the past week.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

I would say you have a damn strong case. Just email the mods and I am sure that they will get back to you.
Thank you, mods. Jaro and Fankhay have been cheating together for too long.

Right or wrong, you really shouldn't post cheating accusations in the forum - even after the game's finished.
Jamiet99uk (1307 D)

Did they get banned?

I take it from Bob's "Thank you" that some action was taken?

I don't think it is wrong to "out" cheaters *after* they have been sanctioned by the Mods. After all, once the Moderators confirm someone is cheating, it ceases to be an "accustation". It is only an accusation until it is proved or disproved.
hopsyturvy (521 D)
10 Aug 10 UTC
So they have. Still, they weren't at the time the thread was posted. Anyway, no harm done.
Jamiet99uk (1307 D)
10 Aug 10 UTC
When he first posted the thread, Bob did not name the players he was accusing, or give the name or ID of the game.

For what it's worth, about a week ago I sent the mods an email about these two. Didn't get a response as far as I know.

Bob was fine in how he handled it. He didn't call out the game or the names until after the mods had taken action. Props to Bob GenghisKhan for following protocol.

So how does it work for all of those games that already happened? Are they effectively "canceled" with the points being returned or are they handled some other way?

And you can find the list of moderators on the Credits page...though it appears to be out of date.

And it appears that Ghost has already banned the accounts in question.

I'm not gay, but I'm really, truly happy about this...religion has no place deciding who gets to marry who.

Hey--if a bitter man and gold-digger woman can get married and divorce so soon, why deny Mr. Sulu his right go to Warp with someone he loves? ;) How do you feel about all of this? (And check our Jon Steart's Daily Show's talk about all of this, informative AND hilarious!)

Easing the end of a game - diplomatic euthanasia
How about several boxes one can click when down to 1 or 2 pieces, that automatically defaults moves to "hold" and "disband" and "defer build", which would move game more quickly for other players?

The Evil of Capitalism: How Capitalists Exploit
Ever since capitalism and meritocracy became the standard system of economics, exploitation has been committed by man against his fellow man. No system has undermined man’s humanity in the same manner by rewarding those who will exploit their brethren.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: So Plato, Locke, & Rand Walk Into A Polity's Bar...
We've had a lot of talk on the site, recently, about the role of the State, whether it be how the State should be, it's relationship with the people, or otherwise.
So the question is simple--what is your ideal form of government, your idea of the perfect political theory? Do we have a social contract? What is the function of government? Is there a State of Nature? What are the merits of Government and Anarchism? The State of the State Adress--this time!
