What did you guys want to be when you grew up.
I'm not an adult yet, and I still am unsure about what job I want. I used the Holland personality codes, and I'm an IES, which suggests pharmacist, but that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Some other jobs it says I might be good at are physician, actuary, and training manager. Of those, actuary and training manager look the most intersting. But this isn't just about me. What dod you guys want to be when you grew up?

Disband instead of retreat
My understanding of the rules of the game were that you were allowed to simply disband a unit instead of retreating it. Is this also true of webdiplomacy? When the retreat round comes will my pull down menu offer a disband option?

Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?
If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!
She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

Corrupt a Wish
The first person makes a positive wish, and the next person plays the role of the djinn granting the wish, and then turning it into a disaster. The second person then makes the next wish, and the cycle repeats itself.

Not Granted. You were no longer allowed to wish, CM.
rlumley (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Fine.

I wish this thread were back to the way it was before I wished that I didn't have to wish things, and that no one would ever wish to not have to wish or not have to corrupt a wish again.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but now everyone is so confused as to whether they can wish or corrupt or both or neither, that no one wishes or corrupts wishes again.
rlumley (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
I wish Draugnar would stop posting.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but int he process of granting the wish, draugnar had to post, therein negating the wish.

Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. Suddenly everyone on the face of the Earth all speak but one language, Common.

I wish I were number 1 in GR, at the top of the GR list, the best Diplomacy player on this site.
Granted, but the meanings of best and worst are reversed, and the GR rankiings are reversed, so you are the worst player on the site.

Draugnar, I was never disallowed from wishing.

I wish Draugnar would stop lying
taylornottyler (100 D)

Granted, lying is not a verb any more.

Draugnar (0 DX)

Not granted. A wish can't be granted to negate the happenings of that which does not happen.

Here is the place where you briefly lost you option to wish.

CM: I wish everyone else wanted to corrupt a wish, and only Rlumley didn't.

Dr: Granted. But then noone else wnated to wish anymore.

Ignoring the typo, it means you didn't desire to wish and you aren't going to wish when you don't have the desire to do so.

I wish that more people understand logic as well as us software developers, engineers, and architects.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Sorry, that was to CM's wish, but I like taylornottyler's answer too.

Granted, but then I invented something better than the ipod and you didn't make any money.

I wish that I had 30,000 D, and no one had more than me.

granted. There is a 29,999 point limit, but you are not subject. the mods then kick you off for hacking the computer system

I wish I could actually win a game for once ;)
rlumley (0 DX)
07 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it's because everyone moved to PlayDip.

I wish people weren't stupid and played stolen, crappy versions of WebDip like PlayDip.
rlumley (0 DX)

Lol. Mine was to Conservative, but I guess it could work for Baum too...
Sebastinovich (313 D)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. People are now smart and play stolen, crappy versions of WebDip like PlayDip. Why you would wish that people would play there, I don't know... but it's hard to corrupt such a wish.

I wish that my grammar was perfect.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but then the English language and spelling changed so that the new proper form is...

I wishes my words were the goodest.
Granted, but in the new form of grammar, goodest means what worst did in the old form.

I wish no one would stab me.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. You are shot in the back of the head by a mobster instead.

I wish raindrops were made of M&Ms.
Granted, but they weigh 1000 lbs. each, so when they hit you, you die.

I wish that evryone at playdip realize that webdip is better and come here.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but the number of Noobs and CDs increases so bad that the game is no longer playable with that many idiots getting in the way.

I wish PlayDip would pay Kestas for all of his effort and to make up for their crap a while back.
Granted, but they pay him in worthless playdip points.

I wish that I could eat whatever I wanted without getting fat or any health risks.

Granted, but it all tastes like chicken and you go insane from the boredom of chocolate shakes that taste like chicken and cherry pie that taste like chicken and...

I wish I could deprogram myself from this addiction to WebDip.

08 Jul 10 UTC
Grants, but you couldn't programing nothing too.

I wishes we coulds talked of real grammur.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. but your are excluded for violating your own wish aboove that I be ignored. :-) Hey, rlumley.

I wish I had more time to dedicate to programming for WebDip.
rlumley (0 DX)
08 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but you also have more time to dedicate to being my programming slave. I'd like a Google Chrome extension that will automatically search two search engines, each in a separate tab when I type something in the address/search bar.

I wish Draugnar would actually program me that. ^^

A'holes leaving the game?
I just had a game where a person left the game for no apparent reason other than it looked like they may not win. This really throws off a game. First, how and why can a person do this? Second, is there a way to flag them or block them from games so they can't keep doing it to you?

Facebook diplomacy - any devs out there?
Hey, I'm a mod on the facebook app for diplomacy, but the person who set me up (and presumably has higher-level access) has gone incommunicado.

There are some problems with the forum and profiles and I wonder if the database needs a clear-out. Can anyone over here work on the facebook app, or is it totally stranded now?
