Official Announcement

Dear webDippers,
Draugnar and I are proud to announce that we managed to hack the site, ban the current regime and turned some enlightened members into mods.
We are looking into the cases of other previously banned players to see which were banned unjustly. We're not making any major policy changes, but we're ending the previous tyranny.
Enjoy your stay!

2015 MLB Preview and Predictions

It's that time of year again. Buy yourself some peanuts, some crackerjacks...maybe some syringes and performance-enhancing drugs, and get ready for another baseball season! My predictions for the standings, 10 playoff teams, playoff picks, World Series winner and then 10 predictions for the season are below...add your own. :)

The Greatest People in History Tournament

Now that nominations are in, it is time to decide who really was the greatest person form all of History. Will Ghengis Khan rise to conquer the bracket? Will Tolkien or the Beatles be the first Nominees to win two tournaments? Will Aristotle be proved wrong in his prediction that he will win? Or will a Wild Card take the whole tournament? Only one way to find out.

I prefer Mendelssohn to Mozart, but in the arts I will take heart over head. But, since you're not interested, the piece of music that always brings me to tears is Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis; but in the written arts Shakespeare beats the lot, with both heart and head. But all highly subjective!

Another tough one. Mozart is great, and certainly stakes a claim for greatest composer. But there are numerous claimants to that crown. Whereas, seriously, no writer comes close to the Bard for influence and importance. Yes, it may be anglo-centric, but as an Englishman, I must vote for Bill.

Shakespeare, He literally changed entertainment and the English language. In comparison, Mozart wrote beautiful music. Shakespeare was more influential than Mozart, which makes him greater in my opinion.

If Shakespeare wins the "greatest person" contest while Tolkien won the "greatest writer" contest, we're going to have to do some serious talking, webDip.

UK F2F Game

Would anyone be interested in a F2F game in England, sometime in the weeks following the 23rd of March?

Some of the mods were discussing trying to set one up, but obviously we'd need to know if there's enough interest. Where exactly it would be would depend on what's convenient for the people who express interest (and what locations turn out to be possible).

Extraneous Games

Is there a way to hide or remove games that I have been defeated in under the My Games column? It's kind of annoying to have games that you can't affect show up in my screen, and being reminded of a defeat every time I log on isn't fun, either.

Whatever happened to Draugnar?

Back when I used to be really active on this site, Draugnar was one of the most... distinctive personalities in the forum, despite the fact that I don't think I ever saw his points total at anything other than 100 for any period of time (which made a few people assume he was an entry-level noob, lol). Then he got banned, along with draugnar's_ghost, draugnar's_zombie, etc. Is he back under a different name? Is he gone? Sure he was kind of a douche, but man did he know how to troll.
