10 Legends, 1 Future: If We Had To Repopulate The Human Race...
...and you could choose ANY 10 human beings to ever live to redo it...to pass on their intellect and genes and being--and yes, I know Einstein+Curie +/= Super Science Baby, just go with this "re-imagining" of how it works, it's all in fun--who would you choose?
And the ration of XX to XY MUST be 50/50 or 60/40...no 9 men-one-queen relationships! ;) So...who would you pick to create Humanity 2.0?

An excuse to avoid studying
I'm in need of one, and finally have enough spare time to play on this site again. So time for a comeback game. Classic, WTA. Medium pot (for me, so between 50-150). Phase length can be decided but preferably between 1-2 days.
Anyone up for it?

High replacement bets
Hi
Somewhat new to this site. I've helped put as a replacement elsewhere and would not be against doing so here but I get turned off with what seems to me to an inappropiately high bet for terrible positions. I assume there are difficulties making this better. Thoughts?

Capitalism and D's
I like the connection. The richer (and better Diplomacy players) get richer, while the poorer (and worse Diplomacy players) get poorer. Maybe, after all, D's IS the best ranking system?

Turns out, world smartest people are Asians. Why would that be?
In one the numerous "political debate" threads haunting this forum, Fasces posted a list of countries by average IQ. The entire top 7 is Asian, and on 10 there is Mongolia (which is weird, because you never hear anything about Mongolia). Why do they score so well?

Why did you switch the order of Description--Person 1/3 of the way through?
Sargmacher (0 DX)
13 Dec 11 UTC
Tettleton's Chew and D33 are pure definitions of 'Political Troll' and 'Troll', respectively, whereas 'radical left-wing extremism', for example, is a description for Putin33 but he would not be a pure definition of the term.

Thanks for the tips, especially about the teabagging symbol. I'll be sure to throw that into my next work email. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Is there any way to deal with Games that are RTMTTNTEFOAGWWCTRBOESTOETEEIWOT (ready to move to the next turn except for one annoying guy who won't click the ready button or even submit their orders even though everyone else is waiting on them)?

Not really. You agreed to play a game with XX phaselength. If a player so chooses, he may take the entire phase.

@BosephJennet - May I call you Boe Mr. Jennet? :-) There is a recent trend to get people to pledge to finalize/ready on retreats and builds so that longer phases can be used fro diplomacy on the moves, but still keep the game moving. Of course, it's an honor system, but violate it regularly and you'll find yourself not getting invited to these games in the future.

14 Dec 11 UTC
I don't know if this is still the case, but back when the site was newer, people played with the honor system all the time and there were few issues. Before we had gunboat games, people just didn't message each other. Before we could vote to draw/pause, people would just order pause until a mod was free.
