Pacific Northwest FTF
I've only ever played FTF with people who don't really care about the game and want to be done after a year, and I always feel a twinge of jealousy when I sew those people having fun playing in real life on that crappy coast across the country. This is just a post to see who might be interested in getting something set up on this side of the country. I'm in the Seattle area.

Conundrum
So the people who make the schedules at my school are kinda dumb. I signed up for both AP Micro/Macroeconomics and AP European History. Only one class of each is being offered. And they happen to be the same hour. So I need to drop one and pick up some other course. I really don't know, so what (preferably AP) course would you suggest for me to take instead of AP Micro/Macroeconomics (because there's no chance I'll drop Euro)?

Well we have established that this 'place' is fictional and can be on any number of multiple continents at the same time. In my opinion the answer cannot possibly fit any reasonable definition of a 'place' and therefore this question is a failure.

So what do? I cannot advise you. I have no suggestions.
The world in which I seek to go back and not engage in this ridiculous question is different from the world that we are in. I want to choose but there is no choosing, there is only accepting. There is not some other world.

Now I have to go because I have other posts to make and if I have time I might take a short nap.
Is it mentioned in the Book of Mormon?
Is it mentioned in the Book of Mormon? to my knowledge, no.
I wasn't aware there was anything in the Old Testament that was closely related to Europe and (especially) North America. Unless possibly you're referring to Ophir, but I thought that was supposed to have been located in Africa.......
@OS: It is mentioned, but very briefly. It is safe to say that the understanding of this place has changed over time.

Keep in mind it's a 'place' where no one suffers yet it is not considered to be a utopia.

Getting Germany every single game
Hi everybody, I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with an account getting a certain country every single game. One of my friends who I've played in several games against has drawn Germany out of the pot every single time. We're onto the fifth time out of 5 games he's gotten Germany.

I'd put it up to chance but we've reached 5 sigma and are on our way to 6. Thoughts?
