A Call for Blind Diplomacy Voting (only see your own votes)
Diplomacy should be carried out through your moves, and if press is allowed, through your press, but not through voting signals. Some conspiracy theorists believe their are hidden meanings in unusual votes -- in my experience it is b/c of us cell phone players with fat fingers... Gunboat should not have this communication tool, and in press you can reveal or lie about your votes all you like...

An actual philosophy variant
Choose a philosophical school of thought. If the philosopher fundamentally changed during his writing career, you must also choose which text(s) you will be following. Then, you must hold to that philosophy in all discussions and movements. Why not PP, 5 D, 50hr phases, WTA, orders must be announced. If someone can demonstrate how a proposed action goes against your philosophy, you may not take that action and must do something else. Critiques?

@YJ and krellin: If either of you guys want a real debate, I'll moderate for you. I have no preferences (except for the fact that krellin is hilarious). If you're so keen to settle your scores, I'd be happy to officiate it. If I'm mod for this, topics will be posted Friday.

On another note, keep it clean. This isn't an alley, it's a civilized forum for conversation and debate. Let's treat it like what it is.

lol djakarta keeping it clean and civil is exactly what krellin is incapable of doing. It's why I won't ever debate him for fun again, and it's also why he wouldn't accept. He knows he can't handle a real discussion where isn't allowed to just scream "hypocrite" and declare himself the winner.

YJ, I have to ask: why did you bother making this thread? It's been made abundantly clear in the past that krellin is a coward, a hypocrite, and an idiot, and while it's often fun to rub it in, you haven't really accomplished anything.

Sincerely,
Neil Degrasse Tyson

Basically, it was a win/win. He refuses, and I get a little chuckle. He accepts, and I get possibly the biggest chuckle of my internet history (and there have been many).

Yes, Draug. When one person suggests something, that person is clearly speaking on behalf of all of us. I would suggest that we apply the same logic to you and krellin, but then you'd owe several people $1000 each.

Is it possible to get an idea of height, weight and age of both Krellin and YJ so we can get an idea of who would actually win a real fight.
Calling each other names is cute but hand-to-hand combat, that's the real test.
Do either of you practice any martial arts?
Let's not pussy around guys, this is serious. I'm talking 2 men climb into the cage, only one comes out. The other one we'll need a body bag for.
Forget MAN UP, this will be MAN DOWN, not getting back up, ever.....
To help with the promotion I'll fight on the undercard ....... if, it helps with the matching up I'm 47, 6ft 5inches and 310 lbs, my fighting weight is 290lbs so will need to do a little pre-fight training, and escape from prison, but count me in I'll be there.

Aww c'mon Draug, I think an internet survey is a great idea! Even if it won't convince krellin to man up, it'll still create a lulzable record of how many people consider him a squealing nutmeg.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))

"squealing nutmeg" - ouch, that has gotta hurt !!
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
28 Mar 13 UTC
lol I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not Nigee :P
Draugnar (0 DX)
28 Mar 13 UTC
Nigee doesn't know how to be serious. Unfortunately his sarcasm is lacking wit as well. So most of the time I view his ramblings as a tale told by an idiot: full of sound and fury - signifying nothing.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
28 Mar 13 UTC
Draug, you honestly sound like agent special k when you talk like that. Stop it please - you're better than that.

"So most of the time I view his ramblings as a tale told by an idiot: full of sound and fury - signifying nothing" - only 'most of the time', that's disappointing. (+1)

YJ - just to explain, it's not sarcasm. After all the insults you've thrown at each other a "squealing nutmeg" is hardly the most offensive thing you could have called him, however it is funnier than just effin and jeffing at someone, we can all do swear words. So the juxtaposition of 'squealing nutmeg' in comparison to the tirade of other insults traded is a bit like criticising Hitler for his poor time management or Stalin for being non-sox compliant.
So when I say that has gotta hurt I'm not saying it to be sarcastic but to acknowledge the humour in what you said.
The only reason I've taken time to explain that is because I'm not sure how well the humour travels across the Pond sometimes, I think Draug summed me up nicely so I'll have to give him a +1.

Server upgrade
Thanks for everyone's patience during the server upgrade, for some reason it took them three hours, so it took much longer than I expected. I've added time to all games, if anyone spots anything out of place let me know.
On the bright side once this has settled down the server should have more capacity..

How does one leave a game?
I have no intentions of leaving any games I'm in, but I invited a friend to join the site and he joined a bunch of games, then decided he just didn't understand the game. Rather than stick around and ruin things for everyone, I've convinced him to just leave but I don't see that option anywhere. Help?

Why does anyone play live gunboat games?
Don't get me wrong, they're fun enjoyable things to do, even though I'm not too good in them myself, but, NMRs and CDs are rampant, and you get opportunistic wankers that refuse to draw/cancel even though everyone else has their draw/cancel votes up and game ettiqute demands that they do so, so I ask, why does anyone play them?

Repeat Messages?
Did the new updates come with a feature for preventing posting the same messages you already did? I posted the link to the email the mods about unpausing games, but I ended up having to add something to the beginning of the post, to get around a message that told me to make repeat messages.
Doesn't matter that much, but it seems like it could be annoying at times

Can someone explain the draw of the Gunboat?
To me, the entire thrill of this game is in the formation of alliances and the negotiations between players. With that being said, I absolutely don't understand the draw of the Gunboat games--it takes out the best part. If I'm looking for pure strategy, I'll take games like Axis and Allies (despite the "luck factor" or even chess). What am I missing about Gunboat games?
