My NHL Nightmare Season Is Complete--Kings Win the Cup
First the Ducks play up and down and then completely bottom out to 13th place...
Then the Rangers blow it...
And now...now, the worst team possible to win the Cup for a Ducks fan...great win for the Kings, they deserved it, though.

Combating complacency.
Nearly every time I win a game I end up making really, really stupid mistakes in other games. This is a word of warning to other players: Don't get lazy or complacent if you do well once. Learning that lesson is part of what separates the good from the great... not even just in Diplomacy, but life in general.

What's the weirdest thing you do?
Me, I think in accents. I'm not even joking either. It's probably one of the strangest things I do. The accents I think in most commonly are British, Australian, and Jersey accents. Though I use Russian and French accents quite a lot. With the occasional pirate accent.

I dream in gibberish and what's even better is everything in my dreams is never symmetrical. It's cool, but sometimes I just wish I could dream for reals...I also type diplomacy messages for when I stab someone in the shitter....makes for good stench in the message that the other player can't see coming.....

Also @Randomizer:

When you read in dreams can you see the text, ever? According to lucid dreamers, one of the ways you should try to tell if you are in a dream or not is to try to read text - it will be blurry, supposedly.

Other tells are flipping light switches to no effect (lighting rarely changes in dreams), telling time, other things. Thoughts?

Anyway I do some junk that is pretty weird but that I think a lot of other weirdos also do:

I talk to myself out loud when no one's around routinely. Like all the time. This came in handy when I was living with a bunch of people that didn't speak English for two months. It allowed me to not forget how to have a conversation. Yes I have conversations with myself, not with multiple personalities per se, but with just different sides of a debate, whatever it may be. There is the antagonist side who questions and doubts, and the protagonist, that I identify with, that speaks reason and is in conflict with the antagonist.

I guess that's pretty weird lol.

@Thucydides
I have no trouble reading text and the wording remains the same when I flip back to a previous page. It does get irritating if I have my real life near sightedness in my dreams and don't have my glasses.

Talking to yourself isn't weird since the other side of the conversation is with a person of equal intelligence.

Joking about 'support holds' vs a French 'girl' in order to have sex with said 'girl'. No, not misogynist at all. Just PC-ness run amok. Blah, blah, blah.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
11 Jun 12 UTC
I don't really see why it's misogynist. It wouldn't be misandrist if a woman said that about a French guy. I don't get it.

Isn't misogyny the hatred or presumed inferiority of women? I don't see what's misogynist about joking about trying to have sex with someone. The joke is the same regardless of my gender or the target gender.
SacredDigits (102 D)

I think the support hold sounds a little rapey to me.

ANYWAY.

I get paranoid about having locked my front door and will sometimes drive back home from a mile or more away, sometimes multiple times, to check it. Only once in my entire nigh 40 years of existence have I left it unlocked, and it wasn't like I got robbed or anything. On the other hand, I don't check to make sure I have my keys on me until I'm almost to the car and I don't fret about that one at all.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

And Putin, I see your quotes around girl.

Here's the thing. I understand where you are coming from on the "girl" thing. Why are women girls for so long, and boys become men so quickly? That *is* a legitimate gripe, but I've decided after thinking about it and interviewing female friends that below a certain age, I'm sticking with girl. For parity I will also try to use "guy" or something other than "man" for males of the same ages.

And by that I mean under about 25 years old. Every "girl" I talked to told me they didn't like being called a woman so early in their life, and wouldn't be comfortable with that word until they were about 25 or more. They preferred girl. I asked, doesn't it strike you as belittling, they said no, it struck them as descriptive - indicative of their youth.

I still use it when it's formal or legal - obviously my roommate's girlfriend is legally a woman. But when describing her I will say girl, because she's 19. Saying woman conjures an image of an older person. Not old, just older.

The parity issue is interesting though. Should we then refrain from calling males of the same age men? What instead? Boy? That has different connotations.

This is why I usually just dodge it and don't say man. I say dude, person, guy, all manner of things. "Just this guy I know," is fine and no more discriminatory than saying girl.

If that's what you were going for with those quotes - I don't know.

I want to briefly let you know that I agree with you though, for the most part, about the unfortunate quandaries of language. You once, on this forum, objected to the use of "chicks" and as soon as you did it was plain to me that saying such a thing is not okay. I haven't used that word since, because yes, it is disrespectful.

New Initiative: Clearing out old unfinished games
I am going to be responsible for clearing out old paused discontinued games. It will take me a while, so if you have a game in mind, let me know and I will make it a priority.
Hopefully this will clear up the "join games" option so more people would be willing to take on games with CDs.
