The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

What purpose does e5 serve? Once Black makes a move like Ng4 the e5 pawn is lost. Unless i am missing something, that is just giving away a centre pawn for no benefit.

Team white, what are your thoughts on d4 or Ne4?
Shirley (0 DX)
22 May 14 UTC
The pawn is lost. We should just forget it and use this move to focus on development. Some options are Re1, b3 to fianchetto the queen side bishop, or d3. I don't like d4 because it could result in us trading away our two center pawns and the king side knight, leaving black's fianchetto'd bishop really strong and our queen side knight kinda vulnerable.

pangloss (363 D)
23 May 14 UTC
I expect the next few moves will go:
7. ... Ngxe5
8. Nxe5 Nxe5

Anyway, the line I was afraid of was:
7. Bxf7+ Kxf7
8. Ng5+ Ke1
9. Qxg4

Equalising but also preventing us from castling. It would not have been the end of the world for us, but it would have been annoying.
mendax (321 D)
23 May 14 UTC
I'd have thought 8. ... Kg8 would have been better there. I don't think it would have been much of a problem, as then we'd have the entire centre.

That certain;y would have been more testing than 7. d3 though.
pangloss (363 D)
23 May 14 UTC
Well, I figured 8. ... Ke8 (realised there was a typo above) to give some room for the rook to move. I'd have to look at it more closely to determine which was better. Yes, we would have the centre but it would be a bit of a bother to manoeuvre our rook out and get the king to the side. And it does mess with our pawn structure a bit.

At any rate, 7. d3 is what was played.

I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
