Live Games - process delay
I've recently played a live game for the first time in a few months, and I'm finding that the timer counts down to "Now", but then it actually takes 30-40 seconds to process the orders. This means people are able to enter or change orders *after* the phase should have ended.

Political Views
The campaigns of Clinton and Trump have been running for a little over a year now and political tensions have been running high in the United States. As someone who's relatively new to this site, I couldn't help but wonder whether webdiplomacy players tend to be more liberal or conservative.

I don't like Bush policies any more than any reasonably sane person, but circumstances dictate responses, and congress is to blame as much if not more than the president. There were also extenuating, if not unique circumstances which created a psychological atmosphere that politicians used like they use everything, to gain more power. If another large terrorist attack occurred, I would expect a democratic president to take similar steps to expand government power.

I believe there are absolutely economic civil rights: freedom from monopolies, minimum living wages, retirement, and belief in intervention (2008, & FDIC)

That's true, but I believe it's very rare to read someone their rights when they're arrested like in TV. Pretty sure that one of the cop shows introduced that (Dragnet maybe?)

To answer the OP, which I realise I didn't, I'm an eco-socialist with a slight predisposition for authoritariansm in the economic sphere, but tending towards liberalism in the social. That's being as honest as I can about my principles.

Ironically I work in an area of public and commercial law, in which the law is based on free market economic principles derived from the theory of comparative advantage.

Perhaps ironically I have therefore come to believe that if we are to have "the market" at all (and not a command economy, for which I have some theoretical fondness), then we should have as free a market as possible. I have developed an intense dislike for governments which intervene in the market when it suits them for political purposes, while espousing free market principles at other times, when that suits them.

In terms of recent examples, the US Govt should have allowed General Motors to collapse. Comparative advantage. It's capitalism. Good businesses succeed and bad businesses fail, in the long run promoting economic efficiency. The US Govt was deeply hypocritical in intervening to save GM.

Likewise, the UK Govt should not have bailed out our banks. Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds should have been allowed to go bust. If you purport to believe in the market you have to allow it to operate. To do otherwise is hypocrisy.

The GM bailout was awful. Ford refused and has done just fine, if not better than GM.
Jamiet99uk (865 D)

@ Chaqa - well then, if you believe in the market, you'd have to say "good for them". They took their bumps and rode it out and learned their lessons, and responded to the market.

Why do people say "I am with her?" and why can't we get a politician that says "I am with you"... ?

Oh wait, we have on that is with us (the millions upon millions of Americans suffering) and that is DJT. Vote for Trump!

Game Titles
As I peruse other people's games, I've often been amused by game titles. It's a shame we can't see who the clever title authors are. It may not be wise during the game, but it would be cool if it were displayed after the game was over.

New Online Diplomacy Podcast!
Some friends of mine from vDip - The Ambassador and Kaner406 - have started up a Diplomacy Podcast focused on the online scene. You can find it here: http://diplomacygames.com/

It's also on iTunes, Overtune and Stitcher (search 'Diplomacy Games'), and should be on Google Play but hasn't appeared there yet for some reason.
