Should Knowledge Be Free?
We've had this debate ad nauseum regarding music, movies, games, etc. In light of the Aaron Swartz debacle, I think it's worth talking about Piracy in the context of Science.

Sitter
I need a sitter from the 19th through the 27th... it may go a day or so beyond that as well. I hope to have most of my games paused but I'll still have between 5-8 to play. None are shorter than 24 hour phases. If anyone is available and could do this, I'll pay you in hugs and maybe a box of chocolates if you're dumb enough to give an ass like me your mailing address.

Thanks :D

Can't unpause.
Some friends and I are having some tech troubles with our game <http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=102754> in that it won't let us unpause the game. This might not be the right place for this but couldn't find it. Halp? Thanks much!

Diplo Turn Limit?
Hi there, just wondering if standard Diplomacy games have a turn limit, ie do they end in a particular year if the game is not finished by then?

Thanks

Why all the Lori Grimes hate?
I'm only through the second episode of season three of Walking Dead, but why all the Lori Grimes hate? We've all done dumb things, like drive off in a car without telling anyone and crashing into a walker, and who hasn't lost a child (a few hundred times), so beyond the obvious complaints (crashing car, losing son), why all the Lori Grimes hate?

Better to look at just one page of notes instead of private messages with five different players.

It is quite crude, but if you try to chat with another player normally, you can change the "msgCountryID=" parameter in the URL and you can chat with yourself. Each number represents a different power, try all of them until you are talking to yourself.

You could also use, y'know, Word or something to make a file for your notes. Or a pen, and some paper.

What Frickin'Zeus said. Works great for full press games (but not gunboat or public press only for obvious reasons).

Oh, and if you need to keep notes for those games, use MS One Note with cloud storage. All you notes organized and available to any device!

Hmm, looks like the country IDs change in each game?
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Jan 13 UTC
The country ids don't, but whichever nation you are running is your country id. Germany will always have the same country id in a classic map game.

Lol, thats truer than you think. Almost every game has had at least one stupid move that I swear I didn't tell them to do =/

(Latest was first move as England, bouncing LON and EDI fleets in North Sea. What the heck was that?)
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
15 Jan 13 UTC
Haha I did that in my first game as England too. It's a big sea, it should be able to house both.
England, countryID=1
France, countryID=2
Italy, countryID=3
Germany, countryID= 4
Austria, countryID=5
Turkey, countryID=6
Russia, countryID=7

Just open any other country's chat box, then change their country ID to you country's

On GM crops
"France, remember, long refused to accept the potato because it was an American import. As one commentator put it recently, Europe is on the verge of becoming a food museum. We well-fed consumers are blinded by romantic nostalgia for the traditional farming of the past. Because we have enough to eat, we can afford to indulge our aesthetic illusions."
