I think that it's also worth noting that psychopaths (who are incapable of feeling empathy) and sociopaths (who find it difficult to feel empathy) are not thought to be one and the same, so it is impossible to identify all of the heartless people who live among us. I think that it's also worth noti...

I mean... Trump actually does objectively fit most/all of the criteria for the antichrist, if you're inclined to believe in the Christian mythos and Revelations in particular.

So I don't think that it's necessarily trolling, although it could be.

Major Mitchell, you wrote a very long response to the wrong question. Fluminator wasn't saying that Christians like the antichrist. Fluminator was saying that Trump fits the criteria of the antichrist, and Christians love him. So if you want to rebut that, you need to either argue that Trump doesn't...

I can't speak to wherever you're reading that, but here, a Draw must be agreed by all living players and ends the game. If it's Draw-Size Scoring, all living players win the same amount of credits, regardless of whether they have 1 SC or 20. If it's Sum-of-Squares Scoring, your take depends on how m...

I haven't been able to find where to lodge this? It seems the two places to lodge a suspicion have disappeared. Thanks to anyone who can help.

It's not yet finished.

I feel compelled to note that Gone With the Wind was produced in 1939 - making it 83 years old, and while I'm aware of the movie, I've never actually seen it, and I'm middle-aged with well-rounded interests :) I'm not objecting to the actress being used in 20Q - it seems valid - but it doesn't seem ...

Stocks were vastly overvalued due to all the liquidity pumped into the system...so I am not too worried about their fall (so far). At least in its current form, I argue that crypto is a big scam or as Bill Gates said it is "100% based on greater fool theory"...I really want to see all this BS go to...

The problem is that it will make it harder to fill games. You have 3 of 7 players. Someone looks to join, but they're on someone's block list. So they can't join. Eventually a fourth joins. Now there are four block lists for the remaining players to clear. If you get one player who has a bunch of pe...

If a person is blocked because they're toxic, they should get banned for being that toxic. If you're blocking people because they backstabbed you, then you're going to wind up playing solo. The system described here I think would kill this site entirely - good luck getting enough people together tha...

... what the fuck?

The problem here is that there are loads of players here playing loads of games, so the odds of anyone heeding your sacrificial lesson is low While I agree with your general point, I would like to note that you've missed the impact of nebulous cooperation and sentiment. If it's a common enough resp...

Sure, but the same feedback provided 5 times isn't all that productive :)

It's clearly and obviously a feature in progress that was accidentally added to production. Chill out, it'll get fixed soon.

This sort of problem is always quite difficult to strike a balance with, and the above approach seems quite reasonable to me. About the only concerns I have revolve around dealing with bad actors. If someone is cheating and their multi-account gets flagged with STRONG, and they respond by creating a...

Not that I'm expecting a yes here, but... Bob Belcher?

I don't think that you can't play them, more that other players should be afforded the knowledge that there's an a-priori relationship that may influence the game.

I personally love anonymous games for this reason - provided people respect them and don't communicate outside of the game.

Decent read, thanks!

I have to disagree about Austria stabbing Italy. I have 2 Austrian solo's, both I stabbed Italy in Spring 1902.

Stabing 1902 is way different compared to stabing 1901 though.

This is probably just my autism speaking, but the constant spelling of "stabbing" with one 'b' is driving me crazy!

Bad bot.

I'm also new here, but if someone goes all-in against me and exposes their rear which allows someone else to get strong enough to solo on their own, I will commit myself to ensuring that the person who went all-in against me loses. That needs to be part of the calculation, really - whether you fuck ...
