Is there anyway...
I could be un-banned? I've played on this site since 2007 and have very much enjoyed my time here. I got banned because one of my friends spelled his name wrong in the forum. Apparently this was seen as an act of disrespect to _The Moderators_. I never disrespected _The Moderators_.

3rd Winter Storm Without Heat
Hooray for modern heating systems...Thank god my fireplace doesn't stop working due to shitty electronics. Currently 9 degF outside; watching my apartment lose 1 degree every 10 minutes or so.

Got a 20 amp circuit. Put am electric heater on each 20 or unused 15 amp circuit. One per circuit though or you cam overload the circuit and cause a fire in your apartment walls.

Our family room has two 20 amps and a 15 amp. An electric fireplace and two quartz heaters keep it tolerable. It is a converted patio so the furnace doesn't reach it as well as the test of the house. I also have 3 20s in the workshop so it stays nice and toasty with three 110 volt bullet heaters.

Luckily the maintenance guy was able to find the problem: blown fuse inside the heating unit. We did have space heaters, but our apartment is large and tall, so they don't help much.

Warming up now? That's good to hear. Is your place an older one? I've always loved the old brownstones, row houses, and town houses.

Tendmote, us California types don't really need to gloat about our mild winters.

Besides, our epic drought conditions are only being exasperated by more people moving out here.

@Draug

No, the apt complex was only built in the 80's. It's just tall and narrow, so heating's a bitch.

Unless you are on the top floor where all the heat rises. Then the AC is a bitch in the summer. :-)

It's a townhouse, so I'm on all the floors. It's amazing in the summer because there's a great breeze. The winter is awful though.

@ abgemacht

Go to an army surplus store and pick up a sleeping bag ("sleeping system" in Army jargon). They're supposedly rated down to -40. Also, leave a faucet running all night so your pipes don't freeze.

See last time I mentioned windchill I was told it didn't matter. Though with windchill it's a nice brisk -30 today. Cold enough that schools are closed.

@DRaug Yep and So. Cal is burning up. I never thought I'd be looking forward to 18 degrees which is what Wednesday is suppose to be. Not sure the temp with windchill.

Bo-Sox - I periodically ski at Cannon Mountain (I live in southern NH) so I know what you mean. The White Mountains are pretty bitter, especially when the wind is blowing, which it always seems to be when I go up there.

We would have climbed Mt. Washington but the recent rescue has people worried. A few went for Mt. Monroe but with a broken hand I wasn't going to get all that far anyway. It reached -60 wind chill though when we were at 5000 feet.

@CF - wind chill matters, just not to inanimate objects or plants.

Not cold again is it ..... what is going on over there !!

Do you think God has something to do with this ??
Celticfox (100 D(B))
28 Jan 14 UTC
Not sure on the exact temp. I think it has something to do with how long it takes for frostbite. It's not the schools themselves that's the problem but the kids who have to wait for the bus that's the concern.

Which dumbass thought we should call everyone who isn't white "People of Colour"?
1. Black isn't a colour.
2. White is all colours.
3. White people change colour when cold, ashamed, hot, sick, dead, and they're born pretty red. Black people stay black.
"People of colour" is probably the most offensive way to call black people, right before "nigger".

Hello all
Its been a while. I'd like to play some quality gunboat games for old times sake. I'd like to be at least 101 point buy in. 24-36 hour phases so everyone has time to get moves in. etc. This is sort of an invitational so I'd like to get some good players to play against.

Why do people play Gunboat?

Why are there non anonymous games?
Since meta gaming is strictly prohibited and frowned upon I have to say I see no benefit to having non anonymous games. All it does is allow people to carry grudges or othe stuff from past games rather than playing the game at hand. Similarly, there seems to be no clear reason why usernames can't also change
