Anyone Need A Tutor? (Or Know Someone That Does? Or A Good Tutoring Site?)
I don't want to, but as the only thing I can do REALLY well is literature and theatre and philosophy and all that jazz, I'm trying to get a tutoring job now, along with applying to all the regular places, retail and restaurants and all that...trying to find some folks in my school, but I need to get going, and I could care less if it's online, if that be the preference...so does anyone know someone who needs an English tutor, or else know a site that's hiring (or anything?)

Statistics of Winning Nations from all Finished Games
Because I don't know all hidden places on this website -took ages until I found the rankinglist- I just want to know:
Are there statistics of winning nations from all finished games? It would be really interested to look into, maybe filtered by gunboat, normal, etc.

Do points = Clout?
Just a topic i was curious about. Since my return here to the site it seems that since i have over 100 D that my allies are more easily won by show of total games played/won/return on investment rather than the actual diplomacy aspect. I know that we are a easily persuaded race but what are your thoughts on the matter?

Clock problems...
Hi guys, I don't know how it happened, but my clock somehow got delayed. I mean, in the game window, you see a timer before the next phase. Well... mine is 5 minutes BEFORE the real time. It's pretty annoying for the live games...

Best lines so far:
met: "my nick 'met' had a game..." (emphasis added)
met: "WHat could it be? eropean crisis was the game."

gigantor: "Your nick met, as opposed to what other nick?"

met: "CD? never pressed cancel bottom."

Lando: "gameID=48170" This is funny because now we have finally found the game, and the mystery deepens, as 'met' is not even in it.

met: "I WAS ABSENT ONLY FOR ONE. a damn game won"

damian (675 D)
01 Mar 11 UTC
Well it's 24 hour phases. But if you forgot to put in say your retreat orders before that. Then missing one main phase would be enough to put your country in civil disorder.

Actually from the look of things you missed the autumn orders for 08 and the Build phase. Which is two game phases.

damian (675 D)
01 Mar 11 UTC
Or lets say that the fall phase ended an hour after you left, and you missed putting orders in it before. Then it's only 24 hours until the next phase.

It's not an impossible scenario.

this one features many forum favorites, including sand man, who looks like he's figured out how to quit (http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?viewthread=692136#692136), spartans aka peyton1, and terry32smith.

i wish i was better at math, because i'm really curious about the probability of 15 of 17 players never entering an order in one game.

actually i remember this, someone made that game and put in the forums that it was 36hour and "didnt notice" that it was 5min phases when they made it and apparently people didnt check that before joining it. its pretty hilarious but at the same time its the perfect point scam if you get people who dont pay attention.

@met, that's a real bummer. If you are going to play non-live games, I highly suggest 2 day phases. Game can drag on a bit at times, but more time for a decent amount of communication and planning and hurts less if you get really busy with life for a day.

@Victorious, who joins a game without looking over the game options? Well, I guess there is a list of 15 people right there. :p Seriously though, bummer for them too, at least it was only 5 D apiece.

@Met

It looks as though you missed moves of Autumn 1909 and Builds of 1909. That is 48 hours and enough to CD you from the game. You did, indeed, get notified. Check the Notifications tab on the Homepage.

Newbie question on Ready and players who aren't there
I am in my first game, and we have a player who signed up but is not making any orders. So every time we all hit Ready we have to wait fot the full time. Is there a way to get rid of the player so we can go more quickly? And why do people sign up if they do not want to play?

Sorry if this is a silly question - I also could not find a way to search the forum to see if someone else had posted on the same thing. Is there a way I can do that?

Shameless, hopeless bragging.
So I know it's not really special, but I just played my first successful juggernaught (i.e., lasts longer than 1901) and what's more, it was in a gunboat. Those of you who have played against me know I am pretty average - and you can see that from this game, too - but I'm happy with this and had to let my pride out somewhere. gameID=51955 :)

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: The Root Of All Action (Evil? Obi Has A Theory!)
Well, I didn't want to do three faith/religion-centric Philosophy threads in a row, for those who are tired of it, take this one any way you want--is there a root of all human action, and if so, what is it, and what does this mean for ethics and morality in general? Is there a universal root, and thus a universal morality? Well, I don't know about MORALITY, but I DO ahve an idea as to the root...perhaps not an original idea, but anyway...

Convey through Balaeres in Ancient Med?
From http://www.variantbank.org/results/rules/a/ancient_med.htm (the supposedly official variant site): "Since Baleares consists mostly of water, it is considered a sea space for the purposes of convoys, therefore a fleet occupying Baleares may be used to convoy an army using the normal convoy rules." However, in a game that I am currently playing, it appears that despite the presence of a bordering coastal army, I cannot order a convoy through Balaeres?

Somehow the English do not talk the entire game and French and him are allies? No talking to any other player for 2 hours? But somehow has this great relatinship with France. France tells me he will talk to England to discuss a 3 way draw. Yeah right He's playing both countries.
