What *I'd* really love to know
Do any other "business professionals", persay, play Diplomacy? If so, what's your favorite method of economic analysis? Where do you see the world going in the next decade? How are you working to keep your skills up to date?

The other solution would be faking an accent from other country. You could pretend you were Jamaican, for instance. :-)

@Draugnar and akillies - Thanks, but it´s not really true. Crazyter always find me on anon games because of my grammar (and ortography) mistakes.

@Jesus - Then I should move to that other thread about playing while stoned or something like that, lol.

Actually Troodonte, you may have a point. Most teenagers have never heard of economics, just as they rarely if ever engage in underage business ownership. It may be best not to present the idea to them for the first time in an area as irresponsible as an internet forum.

Oh great, now we are increasing the ranks of the Future Business Leaders of America. Phi Beta Lambda is such a subversive organization, we absolutely should *not* be encouraging financial and fiscal responsibility here or we might create the next fat cat bank CEO!

@draug, i'm gonna go with my first thought and say you got my sarcasm and the winky face after misspelling of grammar, with the ER in caps pointing to the fact that i knew it was wrong.

For those who don't speak akilies...

"What? No they don't. I'm pretty sure I and I'm are lower case letters." ;-)

Well they're not: they're words.

Techincally I is both a letter and a word. But I'm is both a word and a contraction of two words.
"I is"? Grammar icky. Even though that's in this case perfectly fine, my eyes hurt. >_<

Would have been better if "I" and "I'm" had been surrounded in quotes as is the case here.

Not true at all. There are minor pauses between words in speech. Plus, you don't slur the sounds together in between words as you do in between letters.

Middle Eastern History
I'm working on a curriculum for my AP World History class with a friend and it's my job to come up with resources covering Asia from 8000bc to 1450ad. I've found pretty much everything I need except for resources regarding Middle Eastern History. Do any of you know of good books that give a historical survey of the region in the time period I'm looking at? They can be online articles or books it doesn't matter.

Thanks.

So...Remember that "Star Trek Variant Map" I Brought Up Before?
I mentioned this summer that I'd like to try and work out a map for the Star Trek universe, with the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Borg, and maybe one other race (some said leave it at six with those powers, some suggested one more race to make the usual seven) as the powers, the planets as centers/"land," and space/wormholes as the "sea" spaces. So...bringing that up to speed...

Support rules question
I have a question concerning the rules of cutting support.
Here's the hypothetical situation: I have an army in Belgium and a fleet in the North Sea. Germany has an army in Holland and an army in Ruhr. Germany orders Ruhr to Belgium supported by Holland. What happens if I convoy my army from Belgium to Holland via the North Sea? Does it cut the support or is it the same as if I attacked on land (i.e. Germany takes Belgium anyway)?

Game messages stat?
So there's this stat on my profile called "game messages." I would expect that every piece of press I send would increase this stat, but it's been sitting at 42 for a long time now. Am I misinterpreting the meaning of the stat or is it just the mystique of 42?

specifically, ask him about what to do when three advice threads pop up in the space of 24 hours. Who's to blame? Should we try bumping 'em off the first page? Will the mods ban the creators, or let us linger here in pain? Please note: I reserve the right to "pull a Thucy."
