ESPN Streak for the Ca$h
Anyone here play this with at least semi-seriousness, and is there interest in making a webDip group on ESPN for friendly competition? I haven't been picking too much but with CFB and NFL seasons starting up in a couple weeks, I plan on trying again. I've gotten up to W21 before during football season.

Conway's Game of Life
I suspect many of you are familiar with Conway's game of life, and there may have been a thread on this topic in the past, but I have been messing around with different patterns and I find this 'game' simply amazing. Such simple physics, but such complex and cool things can happen. If you aren't familiar with the game check out the rules here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life
For those who do know about this, what is the coolest pattern you have seen??

Tony Stewart Accidentally Runs Over/Kills Driver During Race
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtBH9FJ3LOU I have never watched a NASCAR or Sprint Cup race in my life...because frankly, I couldn't care less about cars going around and around in a circle 500 times (I don't doubt it's hugely challenging and takes talent, it's just not for me) but wow...what a way to go. :/ Getting run over like that mid-race, shit...

possible banned members page?
I visit a site called GTPlanet and they have a banned members page with some hilarious explanations of why the user was banned. I think it would be cool and funny to have one here as well!
Here's the page from GTPlanet as an example

Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?
We're all familiar with the idea that there are wars in which everyone is at fault. Let's consider the hypothetical opposite: Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?
(This is somewhat related to the "religious people so anti-humanity" topic but I think this deserves it's own thread.)

Okay, since I am under the impression, and I apologize if this is an incorrect one...that THELEGION's account has been hacked by his friends, I'm silencing him for 24 hours so no more damage is done. I'll also make sure there aren't any weird orders in any of your games set to process soon, should you have any. This silence can be listed if you email [email protected] with your registered email to confirm you actually are in control of your account.

Might I suggest (and I'm not emailing this because it's not my business, just an onlooker's thought) that the mods prevent the email address field in his account from being changed for a few days?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
09 Aug 14 UTC
I don't think that's possible semck (maybe I'm wrong, jmo would know), but we've already got his current address logged. We'll know if someone changes it.

THELEGION, in addition to what Jmo said, if this hacking claim is actually true and certain posts in this thread were posted without your consent, send the mods an email so we can try to sort out who it was and if they have an account on the site. If you know who it was and you know they have (or don't have) an account on the site, say so, and someone (probably someone higher up than me) can take a look at that and see if anything needs to be done there.

Lol, I'm honestly going to have to go through and figure out which rules apply here, it's more then 1. More worried about making sure no games get messed up by this. This will be easier if none of his friends are members, but we'll see.

Mods don't stress too bad on this. It's a poorly orchestrated attempt to make the community think legion has friends. It's an act. Publicity stunt. Sham. Legion should be aware that most people on this site don't have friends and it's okay. Otherwise we wouldn't spend hours on here talking to people through forums.

Ok people it's really not neccessary for everyone who has friends to post here to say that they do... I'd say we mostly all have friends and it's unfair to say anyone on here doesn't have friends because they like to play diplomacy as a hobby.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

He wasn't saying that, seth. He was implying that we have no friends because if we had friends we wouldn't spend all our time posting crap on the forum.

Well Jamie the part where he says "most people on this site" seems to point toward him thinking that basically nobody who is a member here has any friends. Still I understand your point and I think we can agree this is a relatively minor point?

Unfortunately this situation is beyond our ability to sort out. According to the player the police are involved in this case and all of his electronic accounts have been compromised, making it impossible for us to validate any communication with him.

If this is true then we aren't willing to be involved in an ongoing investigation, especially considering THELEGION account was used to make real and illegal threats against people outside of the site which we cannot tolerate. If it's not true then this far exceeds the common sense rule and several others in regards to wasting time. Either way we don't really have a choice but to remove this account due to the exceedingly weird and complicated issue here.

jmo1121109 (3812 D)

You know how good I am at sorting out situations like this goldie, this one is beyond me. If what he says is true then his friend has been hacking accounts with next generation spy gear that would make the NSA jealous. If it is true though, using our site to set up a brawl in which the police end up involved really isn't anything we want a part of. Short of contacting their local police department to get this cleared up, which really isn't feasible, there's nothing we can do here.

good generic role-playing game system for a fantasy setting?
i'm looking forward to playing a few sessions with friends/relatives, but haven't yet decided what system to use. can somebody recommend one or two systems? i wouldn't want to use more than three dice (only if there's an easy conting method like in fate), but wouldn't like no dice either. yet no other ideas on what the system should cover.
