Is Playing Diplomacy a "Right?"
How many teenagers and twenty-somethings fritter away their days playing diplomacy instead of making sure they get an education or aren't a burden on society?

Why is America in so much debt?
The size of America's debt is staggering and it is really hard to imagine it ever being paid off and the long term negative consequences are very worrying. How did a country run by smart people allow itself to get into this awful predicament?

variant idea
Has this been tried before?

So I'm thinking of attempting to design some kind of randomly generated map to stir things up and avoid the same old alliances and same old outcomes. Would the community be interested in something like this? Would the powers that be support it if I was able to develop a good one?

Abgemacht is an asshat fucktard.
He is the worst mod fucking damaging the community by insisting on bumping a post to the top that insults graphically and abusively another player in the opening message. Let's see how the fucktard likes this post staying at the top!

@PE - I did it when a mod poked fun at my trying to get them to stop whenever I saw the thread bounce back up. Had there not been a mod weigh in, even in jest, this would not have been created. And while this is mean, it's tame in comparison to the original attack.

You know, its really frustrating when you "cooler heads" take a perfectly good drama thread, ripe with potential for copious amounts of numbfuckery and idiocy that I may get my daily laughs, and turn it into something boring and retarded.... so here:

Draugnar, abgemacht called your mother a grimy whore, and also pointed out that I have more points than you after only 2 games.

Usra, thanks for the definition... i know people who use the word troll similar to how i use the word prank. Whereby to troll someone is to make comments on their thread to infuriate them.

Not this simplistic 'trolling' which consists entirely of insulting people's mother does not count. You have to talk about something they care enough about to draw them into a reply... (of course two trolls together could verbally spar all day... but it is only interesting if they don't know what they are each trying to do...)

this is not what we see here.

I could imagine a obi-troll, who replies to one of obi's threads on philosophy trying to convince him to invest time in a pointless arguement about some aspect of philosophy which the troll has no interest in, just enjoying annoying obi... hmm.

You can't annoy obi by replying to his thread. That only gives him an excuse to spam yet another obi at you. In other words, it makes him STRONGER!!!

"And while this is mean, it's tame in comparison to the original attack."

You do live in your own little world, don't you? I made a small joke, which I clearly indicated as such. I then *stopped posting*, per your request. It was you that bumped the thread back to life an hour after I posted to start this fight.

I get the sense that you haven't been the victim of true admin abuse much. If this were almost any other site, you would have been permabanned for this post. Most sites are managed by egotistical megalomaniacs that can't handle the smallest amount of criticism. I know because I've been banned from a number of sites for (politely) criticizing how the admins handled situations. If anything, I think this post shows that the mods on this site truly feel they are part of the community and don't view themselves as superior. And by the way, you know what I was doing when you were complaining about about me? I was manually unpausing about 50 games as the requests came in.

Recently, you have actually been helpful to the community. You've been politely reminding people not to post cheating accusations, which is a big help. But, every time you do something stupid like this, you lose the respect of the mods and the rest of the community and end up having to start from the ground up.

What you thought to gain from this, I still don't understand. Instead of having one vile thread that won't die, we now have 2. So, great job there. Hopefully, new players will actually read this thread so they realize that there isn't actually any admin abuse on this site, as you seem so dead-set on promoting. I guess you could say that you were making a point, but to whom I have no idea. You knew krellin's thread was stupid, I knew krellin's thread was stupid, the vast majority of the community knew krellin's thread was stupid. If anything, it seems like you were trying to convince a bunch of firefighters that fire was bad by burning down the fire station. You sure showed them!

tl;dr Draug, sometimes you're a jackass, but that's ok, because your freedom is safe on this forum, even if it's a mod that you're harassing.

Why is the colonial variant disabled?
I noticed that there are four other variants that are on the server yet are disabled. What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't more variants mean more gameplay for the members here? I know I'm new here so if there was a good reason before I left, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Sort of a Goodbye
School will be starting soon, so I'll have trouble keeping up with all of my games. I will definitely be taking a break, so you might not see me again until December. By then, I'm sure I'll have several new people to argue with in the forums and quite a few of you will have forgotten about me. But that's great! Wouldn't it be nice to have some worshippers on WebDiplomacy? That way I'd win every game!

Am I being naive here?
I never understand why people would ever want to have one-night stands/casual hookups. If you're attracted to someone enough to fuck them, why wouldn't you want to date them? I mean, I'm sure sex is fun, but wouldn't a relationship+sex be even more fun?

England's Riots
Does anyone oever there--or over here, for that matter--know what's going on, ie, why these folks are rioting?

All I get in searching for it are notifications about England's...cricket team...? And a friendly? Is that it, is this all one big "soccer riot," so to speak, or has Yahoo's serach engine failed once again, and there are real, important reasons behind all this?
