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/

Purpose of "... 1 hours"

Does anyone know why we have to option to have phases that are "1 days, 1 hours" or "2 days, 1 hours"? I'm just curious why we have that option?

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.

Granted, but instead of slavery, it was ritualized commercial executions.

I wish the package I'm expecting would hurry up and arrive already.

Conservative Man (100 )

I wish I was a better baseball player (because I suck)

Kish1000 (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but everyone is still better than you.

I wish I could read minds.

Conservative Man (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but you go crazy hearing everybody's thoughts all around the world.

I wish I was one of the top 100 athletes in the world.

g01df1ng3r (2821 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but the world will have only 100 athletes and you're #100.

I wish I can time travel.

Kish1000 (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but you accidentally stumble back in time and kill your grandfather.

I wish I had a car.

ava2790 (232 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but as you approach it for the first time a bomb inside of it explodes so you no longer have a car. Oh, and you didn't buy insurance so serves you right.

I wish CM would make up original corruptions instead of using ones which have already been used.

Draugnar (0 )

mdrltc (1818 )

Granted, but you are forever harassed by monologing super villains whose ultimate goal is to steal your 12 year old scotch.

I wish I was the last person to post on the 'Last person to Post Wins!!!!!' thread.

sethwol (100 )

Granted, but the whole internet crashes the second you do, and no one will ever know the glory of your victory.

I wish I had the ability to make time stand still.

Draugnar (0 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but you stand still as well and the universe ends up frozen in time for all eternity.

I wish I could think of a wish.

Conservative Man (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but then you forget what it is.

I wish that everyone in the world liked me.

Granted, but it's still opposite day.

I wish I could remember which pit I left the girl from last night in.

jodabomb24 (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but the reason you remember is she jumps out of it and bites your head.

I wish I could actually get a Rinascimento game going on OliDip.

Sebastinovich (313 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted. You now have the capability to get the game going, but fails due to forces beyond your control. Really, when will you people learn? Wishing for a could will just give you the capability, not the wish. I, for example, am capable of learning all languages. Is it likely? Do I want to? But I am capable...

I wish that people wrote backwards on this thread.

Granted, but you're now also dyslexic.

I wish I had gonnorhea.

Conservative Man (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Draugnar- I read it.

Granted, and that's bad enough.

I wish that dangermause would spell gonorrhea right.

Octavious (2701 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Poor form wishing for something you already have!

Granted, but it's a new strain that reacts badly to your old gonorrhea and dies before you get to... erm... enjoy the symptoms.

I wish i had a conker as hard a diamond

Conservative Man (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, it is a diamond, and it can't perform any functions.

I wish I won the lottery

Octavious (2701 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but it's the Rochedale Community Special School charity lottery and your prize is a well chewed but never read copy of The Catcher In The Rye.

I wish I'd never read The Catcher In The Rye

rlumley (0 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but you've never read anything, and you're now a bumbling, ignorant moron.

Wait. Damn. That's already the case, isn't it. ;-)

I wish people didn't hate awesome books like The Catcher in the Rye.

Conservative Man (100 )
09 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, they love them so much that they marry them, so everybody is married to a book, and children are never born.

I wish that this is not a wish.

jwalters93 (288 )
10 Jul 10 UTC

Granted. But, by using a wish to unwish that same wish, you tear the very fabric of magic, and are sucked into a whirling vortex of death.

I wish that I have unlimited and precise control over any and all matter to do whatever I choose, whenever I choose, and however I choose to do it.

(i'll be impressed with whoever manages to screw that one up for me. :P)

rlumley (0 )
10 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but before you gain control, all matter in the universe is transformed to energy.

I wish people knew science. ;-)

jwalters93 (288 )
10 Jul 10 UTC

bah. stupid science.

Granted, but now that everyone knows and understands science perfectly, they realize that they have nothing to achieve for anymore, and everyone kills themselves the most horrible manner possible. including you.

I wish that I have unlimited and precise control over any and all matter AND ENERGY to do whatever I choose, whenever I choose, and however I choose to do it.
(i WILL create an un-screwupable wish!!)

killer135 (100 )
10 Jul 10 UTC

granted, but the power goes to your head and you use all your power to destroy the universe. I wish he wouldn't try to make unmessupable wish

(NSA) program: PERFECT CITIZEN

Some think it is an innocuous program to shore up America's cyber-security, especially in critical areas such as power and nuclear grids. Some think it is far more sinister, and a raytheon insider called it "big brother" What do you think?

It's a terrible country to develop from. I have no idea how to play it. And yet, somehow, the website seems to think that roughly half the time, Italy's the country for me.

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?
