In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.
Please join me in welcoming bo_sox48 to the moderator team. He will be assisting us on the game side cases. Thank you for agreeing to volunteer your time!
Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.
Another crashed plane. Play crashed-plane-bingo here. This is intended to be a comment on how the media covers events, no disrespect to the victims or their families/ friends is intended.
So I have seen a ton of people trying to figure out the population of this site. I introduce my project the WebDip Census.( http://wdcb.webs.com ) I hope you all take the time to fill out the census survey.
Ok today I went to a comic book store with my little cousin he's 6 years old and it was his birthday so we walked around the store to try to find his favorite comic book series he didn't know know the name of it but he would always read it when he was there with his older brother which of course didn6 care what his little brother was looking at.
So I have a quick question why are diplomacy players so stubborn. Even in the event where you are offering a deal that equally benefits us and you why are we just so stubborn? Any ideas? Does this stubbornness hinder or help with achieving solos?
Isis has issued a fatwa ordering all females between 11 and 46 to undergo FGM. Any country looking to invade would now almost certainly get public support.
It's been a while since we've done one of these. All games will be Classic WTA Full Press. Please use this GR list: http://tinyurl.com/nyqrxy4 GR. Name (Max Points, Phase Length, Anon/Nonanon)
I'm interested, but I fear my ranking isn't good enough. I've only played maybe 10 classic non-anon WTA games, and maybe 2 in the past year. Most of my games have been gunboat, live, or anon.
GR is kinda dumb, in my eyes. Every game is a different beast, and every player has a different play-style. It's hard to quantify. Much like WAR in baseball, those who get blinded by it are misguided.
For the new guys : As stated GR is an alternate ranking system. Periodically someone will post a GR challenge in which everyone who signs up will be ranked by their GR. Once signups are done, games will be created based on the rankings (7 highest play together, 8-14 highest play a game and so on).
Generally speaking they are very enjoyable games, often very few missed moves.
points - what I can afford (cheap) phase min 24 hr anon / non-anon - don't care, as long as people play the game, not the forum asshole they see in the game.
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4549051,00.html "Speaking in Qatar, political chief Khaled Mashal demands Israel lift blockade, says Gaza-based group will never agree to disarm." I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
World Diplomacy Championships on This American Life this weekend
I heard something about it on my local public radio station. I couldn't find anything on the TAL web site http://www.thisamericanlife.org/ , but maybe after it airs? Thought, if anyone, you all should know about it.
....oh wait....it's just innocent little ole' terrorist Hammas trying to kill civilians. No big deal. <...waves hand in your face...> Move along. Move along...this is not the outrage you are looking for...
