Anyone want to take over for Pac Rus?
gameID=36132 The situation is pretty grim... (although you would have 4 SC's) but would be fun, and we would need you for the balance.

Live game during the server reset. . .
I was signed up to be in a live game before the server went down yesterday and the game didn't start till hours later. I wasn't online and went into CD and Turkey won with an impressive 5 centers. (Everyone CDed but him.) Anyway the mods will cancel the game or am I stuck with the CD and impaired GR as a result?

The game was called "not a chance" gameID=43163

Due to the game problems our match hasn't started
Rule the world-10

This message is directed towards anyone that has powers to kickstart a game. We have the necessary people signed up, however due to the game processing malfunctions, it didn't start automatically, and now we have to wait for the phase to end for the pre-game before it even starts. Can someone manually start it for us? Thanks :D

XVIII Medi war game
I am Persia, I ordered Galatia - Byzantium & supported it from Miletus.
I also ordered Cilician Strait - Minoan Sea & supported it from Egyptian Sea which dislodged the fleet in Minoan Sea. So how can a dislodged unit cut my support into Byzantium? Why is Galatia not now in Byzantium?

5 hour energy
What do you think of it. PS I will respond to this thread in 5 hours...

Drinking 5 Hour Energy is immoral. The media will try to tell you that some people have to drink 5 hour energy. They'll use large "science" words about brain chemistry, but we know that drinking 5 hour energy is a choice. People may claim that it isn't hurting anyone, but it is directly violating the sanctity of sleep. Not to mention, it is a gateway to hard drugs such as marijuana. Also, if you drink 5 hour energy, you'll go blind.

And since 5 hour energy is made in America, it is evil and America is the Devil's empire because of this. In Soviet Russia, 5 hour energy would be banned and utopia would result from this policy. All drinkers of 5 hour energy should be taxed. It is an unnatural concoction that tries to pit human greed against God's gift of sleep. People should accept their weaknesses as humans and not try to manipulate their bodies to become better. Once enough people start using 5 hour energy, cloning will become popular. Cloning, as we know, sends you to the ninth circle in the afterlife. What's more, 5 hour energy is inorganic and contains corporate chemicals...engineered by the big corporations who control the government by pushing their interests via lobbies in Washington DC, and so are not only evil, but the worst kind of evil in this world. And by the way, did you know...5 hour energy is produced in 3rd world sweatshops by poor exploited child laborers who are indentured for life. That's like, slavery. And they use all sorts of terrible raw materials...like mcdonalds...and we all know how evil mcdonalds is because of that one movie they made about them exploiting hispanic workers and encouraging more and more of them to immigrate into the country and also did you know...the meat in mcdonalds contains cattle feces. Imagine what 5 hour energy could contain! Really...they should ban 5 hour energy, because Four Loko was bad enough, and 5 hour energy is just Four Loko without alcohol...

Wow I can think of so many terrible arguments that will likely show up on this forum to politicize a debate...and apply them all to 5 hour energy.

I spend too much time on here

Oh and 5 hour energy corrupts the Youth, contributes to unhealthy habits, which raises healthcare costs and will cause the obama administration to spend/waste more taxpayers money in their silly healthcare project, which will throw america into more debt, and make china powerful, and make us lose the war in iraq, which will allow terrorists to grow strong and get nukes.
I managed to fall asleep in the middle of the five hours once. The stuff works if you use it before you get to be too tired, but no [remotely healthy] amount of it is going to save you if you're about to collapse before you use it.

Last year we were trying to get our final project to work before the demo. I was averaging about two hours of sleep a day for a week. My friend went for four days without sleep thanks to a six-pack of 5 hour energy.
What's "5 hour energy"? (Some variant of Red Bull by the sounds of it.)

Oh hell no...it's a vial filled with life. Your future life. It allows you to transfer several hours of your future life to five hours of the present at a discount rate of ß.

Man if you wanted to get drunk you'd just get a bottle of hard liquor and down it. Or, like me (and several others no doubt) last week, just go to like, three Thanksgiving dinners and go to sleep with a premature hangover.

I have found that 5 hour energy helps me stay awake if I am trying to stay up and do a paper or something. I've pulled a couple all-nighters thanks to it. I didn't get crazy hyper off it either, it kept me level until I tried to sleep, and was able to do so. I approve of it lol

A jar of crunchy Jif, a loaf of bread, and a case of diet Red Bull and I'm good to go for an all weekend WoW fest with no sleep and only the occassional restroom break.

Never tried 5 Hour Energy, but I like the taste of Red Bull, Monster, and the like and I like having a tall drink to gulp from, so I haven't had a desire to try any of the shot-style energy drinks.

I may through in a case of frozen burritos and a dozen frozen pizzas to make dinners a little more enjoyable and several 2-liters of Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Root Beer, and Diet Mt. Dew to add variety to the drinks, and a case of bottled water to prevent the kidney stones the caffeine would eventually produce if the kidneys didn't keep flowing.

Gamemaster Down
Sorry for the delay - I would turn it on but I can't remember if this will automatically add the time on to games or if that must be done separately. Clearly, if I restart it without adding the time there will be a lot of very annoyed players!

High pot games WTA just aren't what they used to be.
Have high rollers been in a funk lately? I'm confused, hurt, and disappointed. Does nothing prevent NMRs anymore? How do you specify that you want to play a game without poor attitudes, or a game in which spiteful players don't throw the game to whoever's leading (in a WTA, no less) after his lying backfires? There are only so many players who can afford a 1500-point bet, and I bet a lot of poorer players would RELISH the chance to take their points.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: The Sound Of Music Isn't Playing--Is Silence A Song?
There in front of us, now, is a blank painting canvas. It has not been painted on in any way at all, and it has not been marked or dented or otherwise changed or affected by the artist at all. The artist has NOT touched it in any way. He has not physically changed it (ie, with paint or ripping it) in any way. But Ivan Interpretation says he sees a snowstorm and emptiness, adn that this IS a painting. Is it? If so, why, and if not, is it even art...and, again, why?
