The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

So I have a quick question why are diplomacy players so stubborn. Even in the event where you are offering a deal that equally benefits us and you why are we just so stubborn? Any ideas? Does this stubbornness hinder or help with achieving solos?

I wouldn't worry about it. Based on the points of the people around you, you'll likely be playing a 5 point game.

I think abge means four total, not everyone playing four games each.

People should join, these are usually good. The last one I played in was one of the toughest games I've had on the site, with a lot of people who were frankly better than me, but it was a ton of fun and making that draw felt like a real accomplishment.

Correct. Everyone is playing 1 game. But, it would be nice if we could start as many games total as possible.

Braillard (201 D)
04 Jul 14 UTC
Would that be fair for us at the bottom ? To me the main value of a player is his strategy, then his diplomatic skills... I mean, is it that different to play a full press game from a no press one ? (aside for utter manipulation and IMO that doesn't work in the long run, because trust is lost for the rest of the game..)

Now that I think about it, I think I took my general rating and not the WTA full pres one...
Braillard (201 D)

Yup... my bad, that's exactly what happened, i'm not even listed in the WTA full press....

But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
