Non-anonymous GR game
I'd like to setup a non-anonymous game, with buy-in of about 50-100 D, preferably with people in top 300 GR.

Any takers?

Looking for games to join
I'm running low on active games. Would anyone care to play me?

I probably won't have time for a live game any time soon, but anything over 24hr is fine with me. WTA preferred, but again I'll play anything. Same thing for communication.

What would you do if you were God?
I have noticed that the forum is used for discussions about things not related to the site in addition to site-related threads. Even philosophy. So I thought I would ask this question which has interested me. The question is long so wait for the first response.

What if, randomly, you became all powerful? You discover that there is no God or divine being or divine place. You find that there was nothing before the big bang. When humans died, they simply died. Life was just a fluke in the world. All there is in existence is the universe as we know it and you.

What Would You Do?

(keep in mind you can do anything imaginable like stopping time, time traveling, creating alternate universes, and even changing the laws of physics).

I would slightly adjust the Fundamental Forces and see what happens.

Really? Start over? You guys wouldn't do anything else first?
Eh, it might be kind of cool to surround Rupert Murdoch with bats or cockroaches or something wherever he goes.

Rorschach Two (100 D)

Seriously, I think I would do something like this:

Go back in time to every instance of time right before someone’s death. Stop time. Teleport them to an alternate reality in which they are still frozen in time. I would do this so that everyone one who had died up to the point where I gained power would still be alive. Once this was done (which I would do in what felt like an instance to me and out of time for the universe) I would let the good people live in a heaven like place of their choice. The bad people I would keep frozen. After this is done I would set up a “program” which automatically does this to people before they die. Then I would continue to live my life. After that I am not sure.

*I would replace the people before they died with an exact replica of them chemically.
Rorschach Two (100 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
I would give people "souls" in that they felt concious and aware and never died because I would keep them alive.

Am I omniscient and omnipresent as well? Or just omnipotent?

I think with the former two, I'd get bored very quickly (read: relatively quickly in the time scale of eternity).
Rorschach Two (100 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
I get my omnis confused. You are all powerful and therefore can be all-knowing and all-seeing if you choose to be but you don't have to.
Fenris (532 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
If knowledge is power then Omniscience is Omnipotence...
Rorschach Two (100 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
Chrispminis, you would be all powerful, so you could choose to continue being a normal human being if you wanted. That can't be more boring then your life currently. It would at least be the same.

I would chose to believe that I was being hoaxed. There is a God and I am not Him.
Rorschach Two (100 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
Okay, The Czech, so then what would you do? Continue living your life normally as if you didn't have any power?
The Czech (39715 D(S))
19 Oct 10 UTC
As I said, I would chose to believe I was being hoaxed. There would be nothing to "do".

Bob, Hellalt, figlesquidge why would you reboot?

That seems cruel and pointless. What's wrong with the world that you would need to get rid of it all together?
Lots, but it was a joke.
I'm not stoned, so it's not like I can really get into the spirit of the question.

If i were all powerful, i'd steal all of MM's points and run away to the hills to bask in the shiny diplo dollars, before spending them on worthless items, like 35 pt pot games, and fanny packs
Chrispminis (916 D)

This question only really makes sense if you're asking what you would do if you were an omnipotent human, not God. I imagine that an entity who knows all, sees all, and is everywhere, maybe experiences all time simultaneously (though the word doesn't really have meaning without time), and perhaps even experiences all possibilities simultaneously, would do none of the things that I could possibly imagine I would do. All human values and motivations would go completely out the window. On such scale, do things like curiosity or dissatisfaction have any significance whatsoever?
dwburke (301 D)
19 Oct 10 UTC
I don't see why if you are all powerful you can choose to be all knowing. That doesn't necessarily follow for me (see Nathan Brazil). If I were all powerful, I would explore and seek to increase my knowledge.

@abgemacht "I would slightly adjust the Fundamental Forces and see what happens." If you were God you would know what would happen.

A History of the Site
I first joined this site a couple of years ago, only to leave (in a very regrettable fashion), for a year. Coming back a year later, I'm amazed at all the changes, not the least of which being my difficulty in finding the site that I knew as phpdiplomacy.

After seeing the request by some even newer members of the community throughout the forum for "tales of the days of yor", I'd like to challenge some of the older members of the site to attempt a history of this community.
