Modern Diplomacy Invitational Replacement
Would anyone be interested joining an in-progress Modern Diplomacy game? We are currently in 1998, in what was a high-quality game until Egypt suddenly disappeared.

Who would play a live game tonight?
I've come to realize that I don't have the patience for non-live games much. I need a minimum of 2 days/phase to have the free time to conduct diplomacy appropriately well, and that ends up being too long a game for me to maintain interest. However a live game (being no more than a 3-4 hr chunk of time) is pretty manageable. So I wanna play one.

Who's in?

I'm a Godfather!
I just became a Godfather and I'm wicked excited! With Christmas and his baptism coming up, I want to start thinking about things to do now and in the future. Obviously, it will largely depend on what the parents want, but I was hoping some people could share their thoughts on being a Godparent.
Thanks!

The Greatest People in History Tournament--Nominations
We've done Literature, we've done Music...so, since we're a history-happy lot, why not tackle the (impossible but fun) task of asking "Who was the better general, Alexander or Genghis Khan?" (Though bobgenghiskhan is clearly the answer.) 4 categories: Military/Political Leaders, Artists, Inventors/Scientists, and a "Grab-Bag" category, for all the folks who don't fit in elsewhere. Nominate 1 for each category, and we'll start when we have 64 (or 128, either way.)

The 4 categories won't go up against one another until the Finals, since Alexander vs. Plato is kind of hard to quantify (and whoever goes on a pedantic rant about one being better than the other here gets a smack in the face.) :p

Also, since they won the Lit and Music categories, J.R.R. Tolkien and the Beatles will feature in the Artists category, since they DID win for their fields (and you can always vote them out first round if you really hate them, right?) ;)

So, my 4 nominations:

Leader: If no one else picks him, FDR...if someone wants to pick him, Elizabeth I
Artist: Shakespeare (NO??? REALLY?)
Scientist: Einstein
Grab-Bag (or whatever we call this): I will nominate Plato, his work's had a huge impact

FDR (for now)

One last thing:

To avoid confusion, unlike the Lit/Music ones, where personal taste/importance where 50/50, I would argue this time importance should be a solid #1 and personal taste #2, unless someone wants to argue that point.

I think religious leaders, philosophers and other thinkers are appropriate for Grab Bag.

I would argue Jesus didn't really achieve an awful lot in his own lifetime (no religious debate intended). His effects were much later. Mohammed on the other hand achieved a hell of a lot on his own lifetime.

Not classic Diplomacy
So I'm new, and just finding my way here. But I've been playing Diplomacy for almost 40 years (anyone else here?)! the interesting thing about the greatest game ever invented by a mailman, is that the main object isn't really stabbing someone, but learning to work together. and being trustworthy. Unfortunately, that's not a version this site espouses! Too bad, but i find the site enjoyable anyway.
