Best Of?
I've been getting into the game a lot more recently and was wondering if there was any sort of listing of great or best games of Diplomacy. Games with great strategy, alliances, backstabs, drama, that kind of stuff.

In lue of that post your favorite or best games here. I'm up for reading some good stories.

Drinking healthy
I'm quite a balanced eater, so it's not exactly vital, but apart from water, it seems like almost every drink is unhealthy for your body or teeth in some way. Of course, I could just make sure I vary enough, and I do, but I still think it's good to know what's actually healthy rather than "not that bad".

I absolutely don't have to worry about too much calories, btw. I'm talking about the other stuff.

Does this game have to be cancelled?
Hi. I'm currently in this game in which we had 3 people get banned. There haven't been any moves made yet and it is still in spring 1901. So if we were able to fill the positions, 1 of which has been filled already, would we be allowed to continue? Here's a link to the game.

The Favorite Author Tournament: The Round of 32
And here we go, into Round 2, with Shakespeare being out due to his losing again...because he's the master of tragedy, of course! ;) Will there be literary superstars? Yes! Will there be a glut of sci fi and fantasy writers? Yes! Will Thucy continue push a #ThoreauLaozi2016 platform (Change We Can Believe In...except change is just a natural process and you must learn to accept it like the good little Transcendentalist that you are!) YES! ;) 32 authors, 1 goal...whatever that is.

The Last Man in Europe...Or, Rather, China
http://news.yahoo.com/25-years-tiananmen-barely-known-china-youth-064659528.html That's honestly very depressing...It was 1989...but its treatment is not too far from "1984." And THIS is why I have such a hard time sympathizing with those shouting "Wake the Fuck Up," as if disagreement over America's future was the equivalent to being asleep at the wheel. Neither Bush nor Obama were the tyrants the Michael Moores and Glenn Becks call them out to be...THIS is The Party incarnate...

Lil' bit of French
I want to know how to say this in French:
"(I would like to reserve the spot) in the period from 16 July to 6 August."
That might not even be a proper English sentence, but you probably get what I mean. I just need to make clear in which period, and I don't know how.
Monday morning I'm handing in a letter in which I need that sentence, so there's no rush.

@Slyguy - As long as you allow yourself to realize that not everyone is oing to agree with you and to not sweat the small stuff (and let's face it, most of the shit is small stuff), you will learn to appreciate your parent's point of view even if you don't agree with it.

"People make me mad..."
Not completely true, you probably have a lot to do with that yourself.
But I agree people do 'mad things'
Slyguy270 (527 D)
27 May 14 UTC
I'm a person too Nigee. I include myself in that statement. That's what I couldn't understand about Rodger's: how he could blame all his problems on the rest of the world without taking the blame for any of them. He couldn't see the truth because he was blinded by his own foolish pride.

Yes Draugnar, some of it is small stuff but some of it isn't. I appreciate my parents, (don't get me wrong, I do love my parents), but they have a hard time relating to me and don't consider me to be very mature. It's tough being bossed around by someone when you think you know better than them.

Typical teenager right? Whatever, it's probably just a phase...

Octavious (2701 D)

Maybe, but the phase never ends. You stay like this forever, but gradually get given more freedom so it becomes bearable.

The only thing more maddening than people is a lack of people.

Yes, because your dipshit teachers told you that *you* are *so special and unique* and you, like the self-absorbed shit you are, sucked it all up and now that you aren’t getting everything you want (wahhhh!!) ….*temper tantrum time!!!* <rolls yes….how boring…>

Wow, Krellin you're saying they were young once??? I always thought they were born old! I never even considered that they might actually understand! I've been so self absorbed in my own special and unique self that I never saw my parents for who they really were. Wow, this whole time I've been content with merely throwing a temper tantrum and wallowing in my self-pity whenever I didn't get my way, but you Krellin... you understand! It's incredible! Without even knowing my situation you're able to give me such inspiring advice and counseling! My life is forever changed because of you Krellin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... *Tear*

Slyguy - you are a typical self-abosrbed punk kid. When you get bitch-slapped down because you are acting like a self-absorbed pussy and reminded that your parents might have a clue, you take an attitude. What were you looking for? For everyone here to agree with you and tell you how stupid your parents were, you stupid fucktard?

Ohhhh.....we are soooooo sowwy for you, wittle baby boy....Mommy doesn't wipe you ass proper any more and you are throwing a tantrum???? Waaaahhhhhhh.....

"during work hours"

Ar we stuck on this again? We're fucking salaried employees! That means sometimes we work late into the night and on weekends and we *don't* get paid overtime like you sorry ass working class union-dues paying liberals. It also means that our job is a job of responsibilities, not hours. We are adults and professionals and our employers recognize that fact.

Now, I've been rather busy of late so you'll note my postings have been first thing in the morning, lunch (Eastern Time), or after hours. Because I am a responsible professional. I'm sure if Krellin had an abundance of work to do, he would be doing the same.

So get off your high horse, especially as you too are posting *during business hours* when you are supposed to be flipping those hamburgers.

"Perception is projection", if someone feels pain, sadness, hurt, who are we to sit as judge and jury over their life and tell them they are not worthy and their feelings are meaningless. If you feel something, it's not meaningless, it's real.
I am nearly 50 and when I was young I suffered all those feelings because I was young and knew no better and may have been experiencing things for the first time, I didn't have all of the mental or emotional tools to deal with some of the things that life chucked at me, but as I got older and got more life experience I gained a sense of perspective which allowed me to review those initial responses, hindsight is a beautiful thing.
Krellin at the end of the day you're a bully plain and simple, no-one likes bullies.
