Any graduate student/professor of Psychology on this site?
I am interested in doing a correlational study concerning the game of Diplomacy and its players. For starter, I want to correlate myers-briggs/keirsey personalities and general intelligence with game performance, chat frequency, and country preference.
If you are interested, please post here or PM me if you are concerned with your RL identity (preferred).

I normally don't comment on these, but... I'll just say, look at the gap at the top of the list at your own risk...

George Will at it again. Brilliant!
In 1927, the corrupt politicians of Washington state created a monopoly of ferry rights on Lake Chelan to a company owned by cronies. Today a pair of brothers have a case challenging this monopoly and Will writes brilliantly about it. If you European and not American don't waste your time.

A Message from the Mods
1) Please join me in congratulating FK on his promotion to Admin
2) I have drafted a set of guidelines containing every possible scenario I could think of. It is being reviewed by the rest of the mod team now. Although Mods will still have autonomy, it will serve as an official reference for us, so we can do a better job at making consistent decisions.

I'll be honest. I thought Fortknox was a mod already. Or are we talking about someone else?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

He was a mod, now he's an Admin
damian (675 D)

Ah, would you mind clarifying the difference for me Abge.
I actually didn't know we had different levels of mods.

How does one become a mod? Is there a rigorous American Idol-type audition process?

@2nd

When the current mods feel we need a new mod, we talk about it and pick someone from the site. Sometimes it's someone who's asked to be a mod, sometimes it's a tournament director, sometimes it's just a person who displays the qualities we look for in a mod.

I did shave my head. Missed the memo about the robe. In the latest video I've resorted to drastic measures and decided to just wear nothing. If I don't get it now, then something is wrong with this world...

@Tom: I'm still waiting for your rendition of "Baby Got Back"

@abge: "Mods are found in a similar manner as the Dalai Lama."
Yes, my name was changed to 'Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Fortknox Gyatso' when I was recognized as the next Dalai Mod, but we shortened it to "Fortknox" so you guys didn't have to type that all out.

Mods: yebellz, Thucydides, orathaic, Geofram

Admins: kestasjk, figlesquidge, TheGhostmaker, abgemacht, fortknox
fortknox (2059 D)
16 Dec 11 UTC
abge & I are 'active' admins... kestas is always around when needed. TGM is at school (though back right now). Ora pops in from time to time, but ye, thucy, and geo are the mods.

Geo started as a tourney mod and moved to regular mod when thucy went out and I got busy.

Abge has the tenure as longest active, and trained me, thucy, ye, and geo, so I think that makes him 'big daddy admin' ;)
fortknox (2059 D)
16 Dec 11 UTC
whoops... 'but ye, thucy, and geo are the active mods' is what that should say.

Ron Paul is officially an idiot...
I just watched him tell Jay Leno he is against seatbelt laws. His argument that people have a right to do with their own body is all fine and good, but seatlbelts keep the driver behind the wheel and in better copntrol of their car, therbye protecting the lives of others. He has just proven he is an idiot that can't be put in power.

Everyone's Holiday Reading? (Suggestions?)
Well, it's the Holidays--sorry, it's "CHRISTMAS TIME," for all those "War on Christmas" folks--and I know we have a lot of avid readers on the site...and I just finished the two novels I had left over from my semester's worth of free reading ("The Brothers Karamazov," which was decent but 200 pages too long, and "Tess of the D'urbervilles," which was good, if not a tad anti-climactic) and I was wondering--what's everyone reading? Suggestions?
