Taking Advantage of an NMR
What do you think of this? I am in plenty of day phase-36 hour phase and 5 minutes before I am logged and I changed my orders so I could snag an SC of someone who's NMR-ed. What are your opinions

Stereotypical Accents Public Press
We had a great game going where people speak (type) in a caricature of a stereotypical accent from your country. Draw germany, talk with a german accent. Lots of fun, but had someone that needed to drop due to what seems to be a valid reason. so, we want to start one up again, and we need two more people!

How many years with absolutely no movement anywhere on the board would it take for you to vote draw in a game where you have 16 SCs, and the second place power has 7?

Ghost - use Bolt (http://boltbrowser.com/home.html), the default browser is crap.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

Why BB? Because I can't afford an iphone, I don't like touch screens, I do like qwerty and I'm not really interested in using many apps, among other things

Since TGM chose the simple answer, I'll provide you with the root answer that anyone with BB gives -- "because I actually work for a living and need a phone as a work device, not as something that I can dance around to music with like I'm one of those dirty NY hippie silhouettes on the apple commercials"

Technically my Bold can act as an MP3 player; it's just a pain in the ass to use it as such

I haven't tried Bolt, but I very much like Opera Mini, as Crazyter can confirm.

My Curve II also acts as a MP3 player and has the standard QWERTY keyboard plus the new touch pad in place of the scroll wheel. I run the Rhapsody Beta app on it most of the time and it is great. But I don't need the huge screen as I prefer playing real games (like WoW and STO) on my laptop.

@Ghost,

I suppose if you don't like touch screens, then a BB is the best way to go. I felt the same way for a while, but once I got an android, I very quickly got used to the touch screen.

@FOB

That's a little hostile, no? Ghost is a student, not a high-powered exec of a fortune 500 company, nor is he an overly aggressive constitutional lawyer, so I think my question was valid.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
13 Sep 10 UTC
Ghost, one issue with Bolt is that you can't scroll the chat box up. So you have to use the Messages link to see what you may have missed which can be a pain.

MadMarx has previously stated that he doesn't have this problem with Opera Mini, so you might want to look into that as well.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
14 Sep 10 UTC
Thanks for the advice, guys. I am just settling in at the moment, getting used to having a colour screen etc....

I am a student, as mentioned, with a sideline in doing work for no apparent good reason :) Nevertheless, many of the same properties that encourage businesspeople to get berrys influenced me, I'm not one for flash gadgets.

wow, my phone is still mono-chromatic. (orange glow with some bits darker than others...)

fancy qwerty? nothing compared to my 1-9, * 0 # - eh, number pad

predictative text all the way... hmm... it doesn't seem to display html... that's normal for a phone, right?

somebody back me up here...
Crazyter (1335 D(G))
14 Sep 10 UTC
I generally avoid flashy gadgets. Got the balckberry because my phone company offered a good deal ($40) and because I was hoping to stay alive in my Dip games when I travel. Its taking me a while to get used to the thing, I think I am only using 2% of its potential and have yet to really play a good Dip game with it. But the suggestions on this site have been great-Bolt, Operamini, Tether.

Rules Question?
A game I was in just ended, and there was no retreat phase after autumn. Carthage could have retreated a unit from Chersonesus to Sinope to keep things tied at 17s. Is this correct? Is the game over as soon as the fall turn ends and one player has eighteen centres? I would have thought Carthage would still get to make his retreat.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
This shouldn't have happened! In this game: gameID=32450, I'm Near-East. I ordered Syria to support move from Saudi Arabia to Iraq. Iran supported Iraq, so it failed. However, India, who occupies Iran and Iraq, ordered Arabian Sea to Saudi Arabia with support from Iraq. Shouldn't Iraq's support have been cut when I attacked it?

NFL vs Barclays Premier Leage
no no this isn't a football against futbol debate. rather a debate on which has the better system on team skill equality. Meaning: teams that do crappy one year being able to get better and do well. So in essence relegation against first draft choice.

I seem to have a really hard time finding live games, and during the World Cup I was never on at the same time as anyone else. Is it that I just somehow seem to miss prime hours, or is my timezone (GMT -8) an unpopular one on this site?
