I've come up with a great idea to revitalize the site and expand the fanbase.
It's called Webdip The Musical. It would be much more interesting than adding new maps or new features and might also allow people to rant about their political opinions in a way that's easier to ignore. I have contacted the mods and several have agreed to donate glitter.

Another potential idea is mafia the musical.

How do I fix the time desync for deadlines again?
I noticed a live game countdown (game failed to fire unfortunately) where I was a whole 30 seconds ahead of the game's phase deadlines. I remember there being a way to fix the desync but don't remember what it is. Anybody got me?

"Fog of War" rules?
Any reason "Fog of War" rules don't exist as a New Game option? You know, where you can see only the territories that border your units. So on the first round, England sees only as far as North Sea, Norwegian, English Channel, Irish Sea but does not see anything in France...

Strange philosophical thought after a sleepless night.
Hey there, I had a strange thought crossing through my mind, after having an input from a series I'm watching right now. Let me explain a bit:

logic is a method. right and wrong depend on the base assumptions. it is like math that way: 'garbage in, garbage out'.
Correct, but not all premises are subjective , right?
For instance, you existing is a true premise.

my point was that God is Love; that God has limits even in omnipotence. remember that 'potence' is power. all powerful does not mean 'can do everything'

premises depend on a base understanding. the base itself may be flawed

how do you know that i exist, anyway?
"all powerful does not mean 'can do everything' " -True.

premises depend on a base understanding. the base itself may be flawed"
But we can be sure of something's right? (DesCartes)
*something is right.
You know that you exist. So you can't deny every premise.

sure i can deny premises; that's my free will to choose. i can choose to be wrong even if i don't exist.
Ok, but you won't, because the end goal is to discover the Truth.

@CAPT Brad: "God cannot hate you; that would violate his nature as a loving God."

According to the bible, you are wrong. The Bible is full of examples of God hating people:

Psalm 5:6 "The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man"

Proverbs 6:16-19: "There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who asows discord among brothers."

Malachai 1:3: "Esau I have hated, and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals."

Revelation 2:6: "Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."

Wisdom 11:25—12:2 For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for you would not fashion what you hate. How could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you? But you spare all things, because they are yours, O Ruler and Lover of souls, for your imperishable spirit is in all things!

The Bible is neither right or wrong. The understanding of the meaning is the crux of the argument. Answer the meaning of this sentence: I never said I saw you take the money from the cash register.

@jamiet - I really appreciate that you brought in the text of scripture. Thank you! fwiw, I think the passage from Proverbs really brings to the fore one important and consistent point with God - He hates the vices and sin, but loves the person.

do you mean "this thread is drivel because I disagree with some of the conclusions" or "this thread is drivel because the subject could be discussed in greater depth and detail" or "this thread is drivel because I don't think the subject at hand is important"?

Trump breaks campaign promise to investigate Clinton
"Locking her up" was pretty central to Trump's campaign; two weeks after winning the election he's decided not to follow through. Are Trump supporters concerned about this? If not, why? And if he has already broken this promise (and others) then what faith do you have that he'll actually follow through on other promises?
