Sitter needed

Do I ask here? :3 I've never requested one before.
I am out of town through Monday evening and planned to play from my phone like usual but I just had bad orders I couldnt change because it doesn't load using the iPhone anymore.
My league and masters games have been paused too much already so I don't want to do that.

0.98 update

This update fixes up some World variant links, and makes some minor changes to the map that make things more efficient and look slightly better (no more wonky order-fail-red-cross)
But as always there may be bugs, though this is a fairly minor bug-fix release so hopefully not, but let me know here if you spot anything

Quick Question

Hello! I am wondering how people become mods on this site, because it is all quite strange to me. On other sites similar to this people go from being a regular player to being a mod! Please explain!

You have to be handpicked by a specialist group that can't be identified by anyone on this sight. ;)

Just in case your worried, I'm not some under-cover agent looking to hack into your mainframe or something like that. Heck, I don't even know what a mainframe is! ;-)

Oh. Cool. How the heck do they pick you? Or am I not allowed to know that? ;-)

To answer superman98's question (and no, I'm not a mod). This is a privately owned site and kestas is the owner. When he decides he needs another mod, he looks across the vast horizon of posters and players and picks thoses he feels will represent the best interest of the site and gives their accounts special powers beyond those of mere mortals or kryptonians.

Alderian (2425 )

I'm a mod at the cfn.scout.com forums and while in some ways it is awesome, in other ways it is a real pain in the butt. As for becoming a mod, I would guess it comes from being around awhile, being known to the powers that be, and known to be level headed (enough.) That's how it worked for me at cfn.

stratagos (3269 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

I think you'd find that becoming a mod is far more limiting than you think it is. For one thing, you now represent the site on some level, so don't have the luxury of flaming some moron as routinely as you may have in the past

figlesquidge (2131 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

Accurate as ever strat, although it's very temping! :(

stratagos (3269 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

@fig - i was a member of the mod team for a moderated usenet group back in the dark ages. It helped me develop logic skills so I could give people my reasoning *why* they were morons instead of just saying 'you suck!'

figlesquidge (2131 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

True. The worst bit of this one is when you have people you're almost certain are cheating but haven't quite proven it. Can't exactly jump in and ban, but you know each hour that the account is still going its wasting someone else's time.

Hibiskiss (631 )

Why would you ever want to be a moderator?

Sendler (418 )

Only people who are selfless, still believe in humanity and stand up for the weak become mods ;)

stratagos (3269 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

@fig: I only had to deal with the trolls who keep riiiight on the edge of the line where you'll ban their asses - you know they're sitting there in all their pimply prepubescent glory laughing at your powerlessness, but you can't afford to start down the slipperly slope of "you just PISSED ME OFF, *that's* why you're banned"

" For one thing, you now represent the site on some level, so don't have the luxury of flaming some moron as routinely as you may have in the past "

In the forum, I act as I always did. I have no power over the forum, just over the games, so if I want to get into a harsh argument with someone, I will.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

"Can't exactly jump in and ban..."

I can remember you explaining that point to me when I was made a mod, over and over again. Not sure you really trusted me ;)

"Only people who are selfless, still believe in humanity and stand up for the weak become mods ;)"

Big fan of Ayn Rand here... hmmm.......

figlesquidge (2131 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

"Not sure you really trusted me ;)" past tense?
Ghost: I'm on my way home from uni in a bit so should be back on later this eve, but got some stuff to talk to you about - can you drop me an offline message/pm saying when you'll be around.
(Whilst I'm on the forum thought I'd post it here instead of pm-ing as well, less effort! )

Xapi (194 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

Figs, I'm online now at gmail, you sent me a message earlier but I had to run.

DingleberryJones (4469 )

It does make you wonder why the question in the first place, from someone who's been on the site for 4 days.

I don't care how many of you mods get together and beg, you're not getting my wife's oatmeal raisin cookie recipe! Give it up already! ;)

Can you explain this to me

Can you guys explain to me what has happened in this game, I suspected that someone was or had been multi accounting.
On the main Global it states that someone has been removed but it does not say who, I will cut and paste the statement into the forum.

Diplomacy World Map View Game.

I was wondering do you need more than seven players to play? I started a game called Europe or Bust featuring the advanced rules with a world view map and it didn't show on the new games" page. Some of my friends and other players want to join , but they have to click on my username and search for the game by specifying the game. (Variant: World and Pre-game etc.) How do I get it to show on the new games or games column?

Is it possible to see more 'Notices' than are displayed on the Home Page?

The notices show whenever someone joins a game, and whenever the phase changes. I wanted to go back and see the notices from the beginning to the end of a game. Possible?

Teusday Night Live

I want to have a live game tonight, around 6 PM (Central Time GMT-5), it will be a standard PPSC game with a 50 point buy in, kinda high stakes. If you want in, post it on this thread. I will create the game around 6 PM tonight and post the game ID on this thread at around that time. If not enough people want a 50 point buy in, I might lower it to like 25 or something, just let me know what you think on this thread.

Hope to see everyone around 6 PM

Racist Australian KFC Ad?

There's debate on youtube at the moment about an ad made by KFC about an Australian cricket fan given chicken to a crowd of West Indian fans during a game of cricket between Australia and the West Indies. Do you think it is racist?

Leviathan, Locke, Militarism, Marxism, Rousseau, The Republic... the Ideal State?

Its been asked over and over- what would the perfect state be? How to create it? Who/what occupations play a role in it? What's left out? And WHY build a State in the first place and do away with "the State of Nature?"
One rule going in- ANYONE mentions the "G-word" that turns every debate we have here into theists vs. atheists gone mad.... said person is ignored.
