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.

rlumley (0 DX)
11 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but you realize he's still human, and is therefore disgracing us all.

I wish great companies like Sierra hadn't been replaced by crappy ones like Blizzard.
jodabomb24 (100 D)
12 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. Instead, they were replaced by companies run by termites and fire ants.

I wish we would stop destroyin the rainforest and start working to rebuild it. Here. On Earth.
Kish1000 (100 D)
13 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but the newly-flourishing rainforest spawns a deadly species of frog that wipes out the human race.

I wish the world wasn't full of idiots.
killer135 (100 D)

Granted, all idiots leave Earth and move to Mars. They then fail to live forever and return carrying all kinds of Marian diseases and wipes out the human race in days. I wish that McDonalds had fifty cent large Oreo McFlurries
Alderian (2425 D(S))

They do, but only between 5:30am and 6am so you have to get up way too early to get it.

I wish I wasn't getting a cold.
taylornottyler (100 D)
13 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, you're actually getting AIDs

I wish I could meet a girl who likes me for who I am, and not just my huge muscles.
killer135 (100 D)
13 Jul 10 UTC
granted, She really likes how you taste and eats you. I wish McDonalds sold the fifty cent Large McFlurry for all day every day
rlumley (0 DX)
13 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it's all you eat and you get monstrously fat and die of a heart attack.

I wish foods that tasted bad were, as a universal rule, good for you in every way.
rlumley (0 DX)
13 Jul 10 UTC
Erm, that should be tasted good. :-P
Granted, but they are impossible to obtain.

I wish to have more muscles.

KaptinKool (408 D)

Granted - but after being left out in the sun, average life expectancies drop from 80 years to 20 minutes.

Draugnar (0 DX)

Granted, but the paradox causes a rift in the space time continuum that even that Torchwood folks can't plug and the universe ceases to exist.

I wish I had all the knowledge of the universe.
rlumley (0 DX)
13 Jul 10 UTC
"Granted - but it cost you points in intellect to add points to your strength score."

LOL. You're not with modern D&D though. It's Wisdom or Intelligence, not Intellect.

@ Draugnar:

Granted, but since the universe is inanimate, that is zero knowledge.

I wish that Office 2010 would download faster, but not lose any of the functionality.
taylornottyler (100 D)
13 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but by adding the 2 KB extra download speed, your bandwidth limit is topped and it capsizes the whole network system in the greater North American continent. Seeing this was all based from one computer, the CIA starts a national search for you as they think you are a cyberterrorist and discover after you voluntarily give up your computer for them to see that is is a mistake, that you downloaded 163 songs illegally and you get sued for 57 million dollars, at which point your credit score drops, you lose all your possession, live on the street, and wish you never made that wish.

I wish chapstick worked at sunscreen
rlumley (0 DX)
13 Jul 10 UTC
I have 0 songs on my computer downloaded illegally. Everything I do is 100% legit.
jodabomb24 (100 D)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but now you can't get your hands on any because it is in much higher demand.

I wish for a hamburger to appear in front of me ON the table ON a napkin, and that it is a real hamburger, bought from Costco, that will not injure, poison, disease, or kill me in any way, nor will it upset the balance of anything, be it the universe, the space-time continuum, the US economy, etc.
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it is under a glass cover that is glued to the table.

I wish space aliens would come and make me their pet.
KaptinKool (408 D)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it turned out to be a dumb wish.

I wish that my pirate bay shirt would arrive soon.
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it is 6 sizes too small.

I wish the space aliens would rub my tummy.
AvantGuard (0 DX)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Your wish is granted. However, when they rub your tummy they impregnate you - as Movibians reproduce by rubbing tummies - and you eventually give birth to a Human-Movibian baby (the first of its kind). Shortly after the birth, you are taken away by American scientists who kill you, disect you (and, it was rumoured, eat you) in the name of "understanding the aliens".

The Movibians see this as an attack on one of their own and launch a full-scale assault on Earth, destroying most of humanity. Hundreds of years later, human survivors recall these events - they lay the blame to one "Draugnar", and his needless wish to have his tummy rubbed by aliens.

I wish for England to bring home the World Cup once more.
tarspaceheel (503 D)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it's because they're hosting the tournament, and they're eliminated in the group stage.
tarspaceheel (503 D)

rlumley (0 DX)

AvantGuard (0 DX)
14 Jul 10 UTC
Your wish is granted.
I wish that the person above had wished.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
14 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but then he comes back and wishes that you hadn't wished that he had wished, so your wish comes to nothing and you might as well have wished that he had wished next that you had wished that he wish after you.

I wish I could understand this pile of math sitting in front of me and that it wasn't 2.30am.
killer135 (100 D)
14 Jul 10 UTC
granted, it is 2:36 AM instead and you only understand one question, which is 1+1. I wish I didn't have to do anything but what I wanted to do
ava2790 (232 D(S))
14 Jul 10 UTC
Haha no questions...this is independent research, so no grades, only whether or not the research paper looks cool or shitty.

Granted, you get to do only what you wanted to do, but then you don't want to do what you wanted to do anymore, so you are doing something you don't want to do, which contradicts your wish.

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?
