Featured game?
What is a featured game? One of the games I am playing got a star next to it, and it says that is is a featured game, with one of the highest stakes. Is this something automatic?

Go for the win or draw with good players
In the eyes of a high point player, is it better to try to go for the win or take a three-way draw (in world map). What is more "respected"? What creates more "trust" for future games? (I know its a form of meta-gaming, but I think that for long-playing players-it appears important). Thanks for your opinions.

Since the official topic is probably going to get flooded with these soon, it made sense to follow another user's suggestion and make a separate topic. I'm working on the others now, but here's mine for Game 1 first.

Retreating in an endgame situation
I just finished an anonymous gunboat game and I do not believe that any of the dislodged units in the last season were permitted to retreat. Surely under certain circumstances that retreat could be the difference between a solo and a draw, no? Does webDip process the win before or after autumn retreats, and/or does it have programming to know whether the retreat can affect the outcome of the game?

The Wonderful 100: History's Greatest Persons
There are so many people on this site with so many interests, and so many important people throughout history at that, I thought it might be interesting to see who and what we value throughout mankind. "Great" can be any combination of importance, influence, and personal feeling for the person, can even be "evil" people--everyone nominates 5, when we reach 100 or so, we'll vote and see...WHO are Wonderful 100, the Greatest Figures in Human History (and who'll be"#1!") ;)

I actually discovered xkcd due to a post here - someone made a game (gameID=5838)called:
'); DROP TABLE games;--

and someone in the game posted concerns about it being a sql injection. Then someone pointed out that it was a tribute to bobby:
http://xkcd.com/327/

I then spent the next several hours starting from the the bginning of the strip and reading it all the way through. That guy is brilliant!!

OK, I humbly withdraw my accusation of hypocrisy. Even after checking out your website, I'd submit that you can't have any kind of reciprocal relationship with the models in a porn shoot, which eliminates the capacity for love by pretty much any definition.
Are you saying that if you watch a porn model, then you would bever be able to really love each there if you meet? That may or may not be true, but even if it is true, it doesn't change anything about porn being sinful or not.

hahah this is really funny.

um...

i am a nominal christian, ok, and here's my take. very... against the mainstream currents but here's my take:

The Bible forbids adultery. Which means as long as you don't cheat, you are not sinning.

I know what Jesus said about looking at a woman with lust in your heart, but I still think was in reference to *if you are in a committed relationship already*.
@Draugnar: Did you look at the site I posted?

@CM: What the f*k is a 'liberal Christian' and how does it differ from 'conservative'? Sound about the same to me.

@CM - Not gonna look at a fringe site, sorry. Fact is, *if* you believe every detail of the Bible, lust is a sin. Jesus said "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." There is no wiggle room there.

@philcore - thankyou for fantasticcontraption.com ! its fantastic!
Jack_Klein (897 D)
22 Oct 10 UTC
Draugnar is right. If you choose to believe in that particular thing, you have to either believe in the whole goddamn thing, or not *believe* in it at all. You can hold some parts to be excellent for the human condition, as I do (much of modern humanist thought does have its roots in the Bible, but not as a supernatural text).

But if you cherry pick the bits to believe in, you're engaging in that relativism that we discussed before. Your turning the word of your God into "whatever happens to work for what I want to believe in".

I might add that 99 percent of Christians already DO that to at least some degree, so you're in fine company.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
22 Oct 10 UTC
We've already seen how CM picks and choses parts of the bible to suit his needs. The fact that he is able to find a biblical justification for shaking hands with the Governor while watching pron shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Map didn't update.
Don't know if this is a problem with anyone else, but I'm playing in gameID=39406, and the map didn't update with the results of the 1902 build phase. When I click on the icon to get the large map, I see the disbanded and newly built units. More concerning, though, is that I can't issue orders for my new unit...not only does the map not show it, the orders don't load for it either.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
