I wasn't going to do this but I was convinced to so here goes.

Today I donated stem cells from my bone marrow to a patient with leukemia in need of a transplant. The whole process was very easy for me and the registry needs as many donors as they can get - it relies on specific genetic matching. www.bethematch.org (more details and a picture inside)

I Saw The Greatest Posts of My Generation...Destroyed by Obi's Poetry Corner!

Alright, you cool daddy-o's and wanna-be-Byrons...
Post your poetry below so we can all snap our fingers in derision, er, delight!
(My poetry's bad, but then, I can always just do what my professors do--become a bitter professor and force my students to by my poetry and write essays about how awesome my awful, trite, piece of shit work is...but maybe we have an Eliot or Plath in our midst?)

Civ V Gods and Kings

Anyone else playing the new Civ V expansion? I particularly like Pacal and Dido as leaders. Not sure how I feel about the religion being added in. I wish there were different options sometimes.

3043 D Gunboat

I would like to challenge the 34* eligible players on the site who have more than 3000

to a gunboat game with a buy-in of 3043

. This is my current total points and as such this game would take me "all-in". Does anyone want to see my bet? This would also be the biggest pot of any game played in the history of Web Diplomacy. WTA, 48 hour phase, Anon, Classic Gunboat - whose game?

Question About World Map Lag

In every world map game that I've played, I've noticed that when you have amassed around 18 units +, the orders log lags whenever you want to move a unit 'via convoy' or 'via land'. It takes around 15-30 seconds to load the order. Is this common, has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know why it occurs? Thanks :)

Breeding.

I often see/hear people who have chosen to not have children asked the question: "Why?" More often than not, however, this question is never asked of people who DO want to have children, so many people end up having kids as a "default" life choice without ever really thinking about it.

Finished my first game :P

just finished playing my First game and it ended in a 2v2 draw Me (as Austria) and Italy in a stalemate against, France and Germany. I must admit this game is a hell of a lot more fun then I had first thought it would be, interacting with people and forming alliances and plans makes for a very interesting game!

I hope to be a very active member of the community for a long time to come, and thank you to the people who I played with for making it an interesting game

Proposing

Hey guys, I am proposing the 13th this month...I wanted to share it with the community and was wondering if you could recommend a good way to upload a video in order to share it with you. :) and if you're curious as to how...well...just wait for a couple weeks :D

Unless you are going to propose whilst playing diplomacy, in which case i could see the relevance:)

Azygous_Wolf (100 )

Let me be apparently the First to congratulate you Sandgoose.

as for sharing the video, upload it via youtube and then post a link to the video seems a fairly easy way to do it.

Proposing on Friday the 13th?? I hope she's not superstitious!

redhouse1938 (429 )
02 Jul 12 UTC

Shhhh maybe Sandgoose is betting on exactly that ;-)
That being said, just kidding Sandgoose, good luck to you!
As for the video, I wouldn't recommend exposing any such personal information on this site dude! Digital traces are rarely, rarely a good thing to have, which is why I'm so hypersensitive about my personal information.

Well, I already have a stable job, and it's actually going to be a damn fun proposal... You'll see. I don't mind sharing my life with all of you guys. You're all swell fellows. And I know red. I know you're all "super uptight" but that's okay, it reflects in your diplomacy :P

I joke I joke, I actually thought it'd be funny to propose on Friday the 13th
I'll have black cats and ladders and walk under them all! buahhhahahahA!

redhouse1938 (429 )
02 Jul 12 UTC

ROFL!!!

"I know you're all "super uptight" but that's okay, it reflects in your diplomacy :P"

You say "all" but you mean "redhouse", right? (It's true, I'm extremely uptight as a diplomat)

But anyway, Goose, you have to decide for yourself. The point is that you're exposing personal information to thousands of people who are not all "swell fellows": statistically impossible unless you stretch up your definition of "swell fellow" to mean "human being". And even then you're talking to a few percent who's not human being, but just a multi. Hell, I could be a multi.

I love the setup of your proposal though, I'm actually looking forward to that video, but once something is online, it will stick around.

@SG Good Luck. Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me; hopefully it will for you as well.
