@Thucy

Celticfox (100 )

Sounds like Pj, me, ava and not sure who else for a 6pm est game.

2ndWhiteLine (2596 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

A 6PM game might work better for me, could still go out afterwards. I'll play it by ear and let y'all know as it gets closer.

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Ok so Pj, ava, 2ndwhiteline, and CF for the earlier game?

abgemacht (1076 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Is 6PM the earlier game? That's probably fine for me, as well.

President Eden (2750 )

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Ok so for the 6pm EST- Earlier Game
1) PJ
2)Ava
3) 2ndWL
4) CF
5) Abge
6) PE

Just need one more then. Thucy perhaps? And all are welcome to join and watch.

Celticfox (100 )

@PE Yeah it's 5 my time as well. I'll be booking it out of work to be here on time.

ava2790 (232 )

fortknox (2059 )

I've got a game at 5:30pm, so it won't be until between 7 and 8 that I'll be able to jump in.

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Maybe for the second late game then FK

Barn3tt (41969 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

I can play in the earlier game. Not sure about a 2nd one though.

So, how did this work last week? Global Press? 5min phases?

abgemacht (1076 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Also, what were we doing for drinks? 1 shot per SC change?

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Abge we did gunboat on here with Google+ working as a public press. And it's 1 shot per SC taken. So even if you lose and then regain yuo still take shots. I have drinking rules to post on friday.

abgemacht (1076 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

OK, so you don't drink when you lose centers?

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Nope the more you win the drunker you get. Fitting :)

abgemacht (1076 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Maybe I'll get Turkey and wait for people to get too incapacitated to enter moves, then go in for the win : )

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Actually I'll post the drinking game rules I have written on another thread now. That way we can add and adjust them.

Sandgoose (0 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

good idea abge ;)

ava2790 (232 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

CF, given the number of forum references in the last hangout, I recommend drinks every time someone mentions "who is X is he new," "you don't know shit about Y they eat people," "unpretentious wine" and "yolo"

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

@rofl Abge!

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Ava put that in the new thread.. though I think some of those have already been covered.

pjmansfield99 (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

I'm coming up on a train out of London which might be tight and I know that CelticFox was going to be running - perhaps we make it 6.30?

Secondly, can I suggest we add public press to the game? There were times when the google+ got insane or we struggled with internet and it would allow us to at least talk to each other? This is merely a thought and I'm happy to be shouted down....

Celticfox (100 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

If everyone else wants to do it then I'm fine. Also, 6:30 is fine. I get off of work at 5:30, but I'm a quick 5 minute walk from there so it's more getting logged in and set up and everything.

Thucydides (864 )
27 Mar 12 UTC

Hey nice we might have to bracket.

PS ava please do not let them penalize yolo.

Yolo is everything to me.

In all honesty

We tried this on vdip a while ago but It never really worked out, I still think its a cool concept though and was wondering if people here would like to try it. The idea is a classic game where you aren't allowed I lie. That doesn't mean you won't misdirect, or mislead people, but you can't outright lie.

How to get a sitter

My wife has reached full term and could go into labor any day now. So I figured I would go ahead and try and get sitters now while I have time (so that others don't have to wait later). The problem is I have no idea how the process works. What steps do I need to take?

Italian A Tyrolia to Munich has got to be one of the worst early game moves.

Unless this is carefully arranged bilaterally, I cannot possibly see any merit to this whatsoever. Yet I've been hit by it not once but multiple times recently, so clearly someone disagrees... so can someone tell me what the point of this move is?

Do people understand the meaning of diplomacy?

This is a very clever game, but I have to say there is a fine line between being diplomatic and lying your butt off, and I have to say I'm not impressed by the way some players play.

Forum Sadness...

There used to be a time when I used to keep refreshing my home page to see what was new on the forums. Now there's just so much trash talk and so many muted threads/people that my forum column on the home page is just empty. Screw you trolls. You ruined my webdip experience.

NEW GAME

Hi forum! I'm in two games right now and will drop down to 0 pretty soon. I'd like to start a new game with those interested. It will be:
WTA, non-anon (preferred), 2-day phases, 25

buy-in. Please post interest below. I'll set up the game next week (likely), and if we generate enough interest, maybe multiple games.
