Name some 'regular' activities you enjoy doing on a daily basis.
I'm going through a lifestyle change (which is going well, by the way) and although I haven't been particularly bored so far, that's probably because I'm still 'recovering' from my old lifestyle. Since I'm sort of coincidentally 'cutting down' on things I enjoy with this change as well, I need some replacement and at the same time I'd love to hear what webdippers do to enjoy themselves.

I think this is a major problem. There needs to be a way to unstar threads you decide you don't like anymore without muting them.

The Favorite Author Tournament: The Round of 64
So after an, um, interesting first match that became a friendly because 1. Neither Shakespeare nor Vergil should be pitted against top foes in the first round and 2. Stephenie Meyer was an embarrassment and was going to get her butt kicked by Virginia Woolf anyway, we start the Round of 64 in proper here. All the matches will be posted in here, we'll move on every 24 hours, assuming my computer doesn't die (anyone know how to fix "'Documents.library-ms' is no longer working?) Anyway!

Vonnegut
WardenDresden (239 D(B))
07 May 14 UTC
Sanderson. As much as I enjoy Mr. Vonnegut, Sanderson's work is remarkably complex, and his twists on tropes have been as original as they come. Of especially high quality are his Mistborn trilogy and his debut novel Elantris. He writes huge books, and his style worked fairly well finishing off the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan.

The preponderance of sci fi writers on this list is a disgrace. It's a wonderful genre, don't get me wrong, but you'd think there was almost nothing else.

when two sci-fi/fantasy authors that arent actually very good collide, vote for the less famous/less loved of the two so that in later rounds the wunderkind wont beat out an actually important author.

"Martin's not lit but he's fun. Martin."

This isn't a "who's the best literature writer" thread. This is "your favorite author". I mean, if this was among the general population, we'd see someone like JK Rowling win. And that's OK.

I can appreciate really high-level writing, but it's boring as fuck to read.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Thucydides (864 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
Is it though, Chaqa? To me, books that do nothing to provoke thought are the boring ones.

And besides, yes this is a favorite author contest, but here at webdip we've always held ourselves to slightly higher standards than, say, the buzzfeed crowd, no?

When both authors are in the same niche genre can the phase time be shortened to 2 hours? This is boring
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
Id hardly call Martin niche. His books are pretty mainstream now. Butcher on the other hand I've never heard of, and I read fantasy
Thucydides (864 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
Being popular doesn't make you not chained to your genre. Sherlock Holmes books, par exemple
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
Genre, not niche though. Doyle is hardly a niche.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
Genre is the same as niche if you ask me. It's timelessness will always be delimited by its genre. Granted, a few can come close to transcending it, but just a few.
WardenDresden (239 D(B))
08 May 14 UTC
I'm voting for Butcher over Martin. At least Butcher publishes more than one book a century.
obiwanobiwan (248 D)
09 May 14 UTC
So, I think it's 3-3?

Butcher: 3
Martin: 3

Fleet at Poland retreat to Ukraine?
gameID=138998

Okay, how on earth did Quebec's fleet at Poland manage to retreat to Ukraine despite not sharing a coastal border? Is this a bug or an obscure quirk of the World map? The variant homepage says nothing about any Pol-Ukr canal.

Yes...because when I think "legitimate democratic proceedings," the first thing *I* think of is a "makeshift vote"...and nearly 90% in favor, on such a divisive issue? You couldn't get 90% of people to agree what color the sky is! Will the West act NOW? (No. But let's chat, shall we?)

I've been thinking of modifications to the ghostrating system, is there anywhere with a vast amount of diplomacy game data I can mine to test out the modifications? It doen't need to be from this site but I would prefer if it had data on individual turns and not just win/lose/draw/survive.
