I'd like to get a new classic/full press/WTA game going. Game turns would be 36 hours and I'd want the bet size to be somewhere around 30-110, but am flexible. Anyone interested?
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Public press Diplomacy game
So I recently just had inspiration for a public press Diplomacy game based on the amazing show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and thought it would be worth trying.
Voight-Kampff is null and void. Time to hunt abge...
And...i'm glad to have evoked responses of hatred from various morons above. Each invocation of moronic hostility solidifies my existence. I've been absent from these forums for so long, and yet still am able to evoke such ass-holery from the simple-minded douche-bags. I SURELY must visit these forums more often.
In other words....FUCK YOURSELF OFF, DICKWADS! I'm sure that, despite my command, you are doing so with your right hand to yourself anyway...so it isn't much of a command....but you will obey me non the less...because i am SO POWERFUL you dumb-asses --- Putin, for instance --- are compelled by my very existence and utterance to respond to me. THEREFORE....no matter who exists, it is DEMONSTRATED that I am certainly more powerful, and more important than such loses as Putin and friends who CAN NOT RESIST responding to my existence. I, for intents and purposes, RULE OVER Putin and his bitchy friends!! Mwaaaaaa haaa ha ha ha hha! Suck on that, bitch.
"Friedrich Nietzsche criticized the phrase in that it presupposes that there is an "I", that there is such an activity as "thinking", and that "I" know what "thinking" is."
"Strict skeptics maintain that only the property of 'thinking' is indubitably a property of the meditator (presumably, they imagine it possible that a thing thinks but does not exist)."
It's very difficult to prove definitively that something, in this case me, doesn't exist. It's comparatively easy to prove that something does in fact exist. Since I only believe in doing easy things, as evidenced by my well-known affair with Diplomat33's mom, I therefore wish to prove that I do exist versus prove that I don't. And since I succeed at everything I attempt, that clearly means that I will succeed in my attempt to prove that I exist, and therefore, all the middle steps can be glossed over.
But I think the real important question is, why are you pondering on whether or not we exist, when regardless of the answer, it really doesn't matter, and the end result is no different. You will do the same things in life regardless of whether or not we are real.
What I'm saying is if we exist, you're just wasting time asking stupid questions that don't matter, and if we don't exist then the question serves no purpose, as we don't exist.
But how do you know they don't matter? For example, theoretically it could be the case that we exist, but can only be happy if we know we exist. (Not true in your case, apparently, but I'm just saying it's logically possible, and probably true of some people).
Am I the only one amused by the fact that D33, given some flirtations with metaing/multying, is the most likely character in this thread /not/ to exist?
This is the question that René Descartes tried to answer- I think therefore I am. I'm pretty sure we haven't detected beta waves from non-existent objects.
@Sebass, I don't think throwing names or words around is going to impress anybody here. Please read Thucy's and others' responses above. That quote you gave was also stated multiple times and in Latin as well.
i'm with thucy on the criticisms of Cogito ergo sum
I think it amounts to, i assume that an 'i' exists and is thinking, therefore i exist. (with the first assumption being implicit in our language at least in english, i don't know about the latin)
But if you're going to assume that you exist anyway, why are you bothering to prove something using circular logic? Why not simply assume you exist???
I offer only this, because I have definitely not had enough to drink tonight to be a productive philosopher: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles/Wolfe-Sorry-But-Your-Soul-Just-Died.php
yes, Lichtenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlagel, Renee Descartes was a drunken fart ........ & Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, drank half a pint of shandy and was particulary ill,........

everyone knows it's all about the live winner-take-all gunboat games on the standard map. how do ghost ratings work? is there some way of pulling stats out of the database for this analysis? i want LWTAGBCV ratings!
At most, how many subsets can you find of the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13} such that any two intersect in exactly one element? What about |A| = 10? Show a proof along with the answer.
Gunboat is more true to board Diplomacy than press
In the Diplomacy rulebook, it is explicitly stated that no diplomacy or discussion may take place during what we call "retreats" and "builds" phases. Let's see what it means for legitimacy of press games.
WebDip Trials! This Time: "God Is Not Great"/"Religion Poisons Everything"--Y/N?
Forget IF God exists or not...supposing he did, would it be a good thing? Would it be, as Dante describes, an unparalleled Paradisio that makes a journey through Life, Hell, and everything else worth it? Or would it be the "Celestial North Korea" Hitchens spoke out against? Benevolent Father or Horrible Slave Master--God, you're on Web Dip Trial!
