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 :)

Yeah but what if you have been gone for a while? And sometimes multiple threads are being bounced by different people at once.

I dunno. I've done it that way for a long time. For threads that I post in that don't get many replies, if you catch me on the street you could probably be like:

"THUCYDIDES: QUICK - HOW MANY REPLIES WERE THERE LAST IN THE "GREAT DEBATE" THREAD??"

And I'll be like:

"oh shit uh uh uh like 525?" (which is what it was as of last night)

Lol.

03 Jul 12 UTC

But this method would probably fail once a person you have muted posts,as then the reply number would increase but there would be no new posts.
but in general, IMO the webdip forums are pretty horribly organized.

=) lol. Im just saying, ive seen so many forums set up the exact same way. I think you know the setup i'm talking about. It should be pretty easy to just take that code and apply it to webdip, right?

One does not simply install new forum setup into Mordor.

I note reply counts too. I mute probably 70 percent of all threads, so the ones I still view are usually "at the top".

Thucydides (864 )
03 Jul 12 UTC

I think we're allowed to mute people. Or maybe we aren't. One way or another I don't mute anyone just because I don't want to. Don't wanna miss any of the action. I figure if I don't like some shit I just don't read it.

Anyway, I like the forums the way they are lol I was just curious if anyone else had my practices.

One of the things I like most about this forum is its different layout from your vanilla shitty forum. So yeah.

That's because we can say any fucking thing we fucking want at any fucking time and nobody gives a fuck.

bo_sox48 (5202 )

And by the way Thucy, I've done that. I don't mute threads often just because I don't feel like it, but once I'm tired enough of talking in a thread, I'll just ignore it. Still, I've done it.

Over on vdip there is a Refresh button right above the text box and you can just click that and it'll add any new posts that have happened. But only on the last page of multi-page threads. On the non-last pages of multi-page threads you get the pager buttons instead so you know you aren't on the last page. I also changed the pager buttons to be more horizontal rather than vertical, per Kestas' suggestion. Some day I hope to get those code changes included here as well.

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
