Marvel vs DC
Taking this from the Great Debate thread. So who do you guys like better? Any match ups you'd like to discuss or what not. I'm personally a Marvel fan because I feel they use more shades of grey in their writing and plotlines.

My new favorite Facebook feed. Basically, Humans of New York photographs a person on the sidewalk and posts a brief story about the encounter or the subject's story a few times each day. Mostly human interest stories, but interjected with humor, philosophy, and life observations.

Experienced players
Please consider signing up as a mentor for the SoW games. I can almost guarantee you have played with at least 1 graduate from these games. They help new players learn how to play and they help older players meet a new group of talented players. There is less work in mentoring then in playing an extra game, so please sign up if you can.

You joined a game advertised by vicky[toss] yet are surprised that it was horrible?

gameID=90864

It was a very exciting game... until 1904 and TheFlyingBoat's first NMR. If I counted correctly, he had 4 NMRs in the game. What the fuck were you doing? You think you can do that shit and not be called a total moron, moron?

okay, just a few things here. Vicky, have you EVERfinished a game? You quit games, and start new ones while you are CDIing.

Zmaj, good job getting England back, but France was not going to listen to any thoughts of peace with you...lol

Turkey.....Spent the better part of the first 3 years drooling on the table, and painting pictures on himself.

france....you were the one that really made me scratch my head.

In year 1, you get zero builds, Germany 3, and I was going to come hard on you, but Iunderstood that woudl upset the balnce of power

2 years LATER, you come after me with ONE fleet. Are you stupid? I was not even looking your way, but you made sure I would look you then, didnt you? HAd turkey been of any worth at all, he would have gained the Ionian while I took Tunis back, but, I had zero fear of that, and Turkey had romania and Bulgaria both with fleets in them, so I had no real worries inland.

Russia. not sure what your plans were. big start, faded fast, came back again, and then pushed back. I saw you trying to get to a stalemate line later, but I did not need to find the line at all

Good game for some, for others....wow.
Stressedlines (1559 D)
06 Jun 12 UTC
2ndWL...yup, any game advertised by vicky is a CD/NMR waiting to happen I could almost tell you when I knew Germany was Vicky. When she had to destroy that army in the Ruhr.

All that being said, How did France EVER win 6 games?

I was very very unimpressed by him

First, he is at war wtih Germany, and Zmaj thinks all is cool. Then he grabs london while Zmaj is off on his Northern crusades, He lands an army in Wales, takes liverpool and then tries to fight me.

I was dealing with a half NMRing Russia, and Turkey, who for lack of a better word, really sucked.

Zmaj (215 D(B))

Otherwise, the first seven years were an incredible tug-of-war between France, Germany and me (England). Germany started strong and France didn't get a single center. Then France had a great comeback. I looked dead but came back from Scandinavia to reclaim England... A real game. Too bad those noobs in the east let Italy gain an easy victory.

i am sorry about not being more into the game.

I actually had another thing occuring at the same time (thought the game would be over by then). I didn't have much time to give the orders.

TheFlyingBoat (2743 D)
06 Jun 12 UTC
Honestly that game was such an annoyance I wanted to throw my computer against the wall. I literally failed to comprehend most of the move choices by Germany, which led to my northern failure and Turkey, which led to my southern failure. I think I'll take a few days off...
Zmaj (215 D(B))
06 Jun 12 UTC
BTW, good game, Stressedlines. You did play very well, after all. Too bad I didn't get the chance to fight you.
Stressedlines (1559 D)
06 Jun 12 UTC
zmaj...to be honest, Mich Man was austria, and I was trying to give him some breathign room, but once I saw he could not stop T/R, i went in formy piece of the pie.

Turkey was a nub of the highest order, but honestly, the France fleet attacking me shocked me a lot.

I could not figure out WHy he would invade you, not finish the conquest, and THEN build a fleet in marseilles with Brest open. Finish the damn job in the north before you start crap with a power than CAN fight back, and pushed your noob a$$ all the way back.

A good player would have never attacked me there anyways Zmaj, so it was all even.


However, Turkey was jsut simply amazing to me all game long...lol It is why my indecisive start quickly changed to "kill austria and then turkey" lol

I could see the blood in teh water, and was not going to let him get away while the western powers kicked each other around

zmaj, in a game with better players, I would have got a draw at best. 3 quistionable players, and I spotted one early, and exploited it quickly.

flying boat is not usually an NMR type person though. Not sure what was goingon with him.

Flying boat, I have never had issues with you NMRing before. So, I will chalk it up to internet issues. happens to everyone. otherwise, this game is different again.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
06 Jun 12 UTC
Stressedlines, I was unsure about raising the bets, but now I'm certain I won't play anything below 101. This is just a waste of time.
TheFlyingBoat (2743 D)
06 Jun 12 UTC
Yeah, my comp was spazzing out like hell.
Hey, Zmaj. Remember that time you and brainbomb cheated during a live gunboat by talking to one another on the forum about coordinating to attack the would-be-soloist during the game, and then when you saw you were too incompetent to win a gunboat while cheating, resigned?

Because I do. gameID=87664

zmaj, agreed. However, those games are ahrd to find also, and the guy who played france has over 200. It still means I have to play with tards like him.

When I saw him invade you, I ASSUMED my back was clear, and I was going to go hot and heavy into Blakans then, and had built an army in venice/rome that turn.

He had an army in portugal also, so he moves to GoL and army to spain, and I move venice to tuscany thinking he might try to convoy on me. hell no, moves right into Tyr sea, I get a build that turn, and fleet in naples and Ionian and army in tuscany.

Normally, I would be very concerned about this because Turkey has a fleet in Aegean with army in constan to provide support for bulgaria, but Turkey had been stumbling around the whole game, so i rolled the dice he was not going to help france.

france goes to tunis in spring for his 'big score' I get tyr sea, army to rome. France does not back his big invasion up with an army from marseilles though. Why?

I use ionian to attack tunis, 9(% sure turkey would not look t the board enough, and try for ionian and put me in a REALLY bad spot.

Yup, worked like a charm...lol

france then still fails to support his lone fleet to fight me, and I force him back to spain, and put an army in piedmont also. EVern after taking marseilles and spain he still failed to come back to really fight, and kept fighting in England.

Hey, also. can vicky be banned or something? She CDs/NMRs I think every single game. I did not see her advertisement until after I joioned, I was just looking at the 'new games' and saw it there, joined, and it filled then i saw her advertisement and said "ah hell.....CDs galore coming".

Has she EVER finished a game?
Well, she's won one, so...

PE, amazing.....She runs out of games as soon as it gets bad.
Yeah, I can only assume it was the one game that goes right. You know, the "I just took Rumania, Serbia and Greece while Turkey is in Armenia, Italy went after France and Russia got bounced in Sweden" kinda games. But I haven't checked (and don't feel like it lol) and wouldn't know

Selling Points made Legal

Diablo 3 has changed the way we play online games. You can actually make money by selling items, gold and in game materials at a small commission to the Site. Diplomacy should do this too, think how much money Splitdiplomat and Czech could make, it would be like they had jobs suddenly. This seems like a great Idea for up and comer players like Zmaj who will only keep playing in hopes of unlocking achievements or something. May as well let them make some cash instead.

Suspected multi-account in live game
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=90854

The game is anonymous and in progress now. Austria and Italy both looked like they were going to fail to submit orders in Spring 1901. Since then, Austria has been freely ceding his home supply centers to Italy and writing unlikely support orders.

Diplomacy as a learning tool?
So without being too specific, I teach an international relations course at a university. Since the last week will mostly be consumed with students writing their final papers and my class is oddly small (6 students), I'm thinking about playing a game of diplomacy with them in the last couple days.
