I need help joining games

Hello Developer: The game won't let me join games. Why would that be? I log in correctly, even changed my password, logged out then back in, but when I try to join games the system tells me I am using an incorrect password.

Is there a different password for joining games??? Obviously I am using the corrrect password to sign in, otherwise this wouldn't be happening, so I am confused.

Where's the newbie section?

Someone mentioned Diplomacy to me, telling me it's a fun board game. So I googled it, found this community, and in the last 10 minutes I've been looking for the newbie section. I have no clue where to start, which games to join, etc. Where's the newbie section?

Occam's Razor and God

Occam's Razor is a theory that basically says that the least complicated option is usually the correct one. Atheists have been using this theory to state that God cannot exist, because a universe without God is simpler than a universe with God. (Continued)

Probally should have been in the developers thread.....

It would be similar to something similar to the facebook mobile notifications. A way for people without mobile internet to stay connected. Anyone with more knowlege about the plausibility of this should share their opinion.

If I Were a Muslim, I'd Be Offended...And Why Can't Palin Learn When To Shut Up...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20100719/pl_politico/39899 Now don't get me wrong, a mosque built near Ground Zero in NYC is a bit odd and I have mixed feelings about the issue, but to make the connection and say Muslims, rather than terrorists perverting Islam, attacked us bordering on outright bigotry. "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing," Nice, Palin, nice...

The Swearing Thread

However cultured we like to pretend we are on these forums, sometimes the bloody games require us to have a place to swear. There are no rules in this thread except pure bloody rage. Doesn't matter what language you're swearing in. I could do with some damn foreign knowledge myself.

@drag nah but the battery is self charging through movement which is nice. I've got up to 300 meters water resistant. Plus I have a black rubber band for everyday and a classier stainless steel one for dress occaisons. I'm content with her and she's a real nice wqtch, plus I'm only 18 years old.

The seamaster is a nice features but I don't like the look

How the fuck can you not like the look of a Seamaster? It's the watch James Bond wears! Fuck, dude!

Oh, you were looking at the Planet Ocean (or some fucking stupid name) version. The classic 300M midsize quartz in stainless with the blue dial and bezel is my daily watch. My Speedmaster is a two-tone fullsize automatic with burgundy croc band, similar to this but the two-tone version - http://michaelwatch.com/pix/chronos/omega/omegaspeedmaster/omega_speedmaster_gold_5.jpg

For ava:

Si - Yes

¿Que? - What?

Punta Madre - Should have been Puta Madre, loosely, your mom's a whore, literally "Whore mother". In a sentence: "Me cagó, la puta madre que lo parió (He screwed me over, the whore of a mother who gave birth to him)"

Cabron - A person who gets mad easily, but it has different meanings depending on the region.

Puneta (?) - Puñeta: A masturbation. Puñetero: A person who masturbates a lot. "Deja la puñeta y ponte a trabajar (Stop wanking and get to work)"

La perra - The bitch

Pendejo - Derogatory way to speak of a young person or child. "Esto no es para vos, sos muy pendejo (This is not for you, you're still a child)"

This was learning how to curse in spanish, with your host, Xapi. I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Yeah like I said that one looks fine. But for a utility watch (for when I'm diving) my Seiko is perfectly adequate

Draugnar (0 )
14 Jul 10 UTC

Yeah, I have a few of Seikos: a Seiko 5 from the grey market out of Hong Kong (true automatic -not kinetic- with skeleton back, but it needs adjusting as it runs two minutes fast every day), a vintage Seiko from the mid 80s, and a lovely two-tone I wear on occassion when I'm travelling and don't want to take the Speedmaster, but need a dressier watch for a banquet (like the recent wedding). My wife gave me the latter for a birthday present some years back.

I also have a decent Bulova tank, a couple of Citizens (one that has the most beautiful dial, but is totally unreadable without concerted effort on the wearers part), and a couple of Timex and Casio beaters for working out at the healthplex (don't want to risk my Seamaster getting demamged even if it'll take the punishment). I'll occassionally wear one of the "lesser" watches (wearing the Bulova right now, in fact) but I so love the Omegas...

I was under the impression that "pendejo" meant "dick"!

centurion1 (1478 )
14 Jul 10 UTC

Yeah I have a vintage omega dress watch and I mean vintage....... like 50s and my fathers old Rolex he got I'm Hong Kong in the 80s. Lovely watch but the band snapped and its a ridiculous repair price.

So you like your watches huh. I almost exclusively wear my Seiko as I van switch out the bands for different occaisons
For really nice occasions I wear the omega but I want to get a gold band
Its still 50s style with a brown leather inscribed band

Draugnar (0 )
14 Jul 10 UTC

I'd love a 50s vintage Omega, although they weren't as high end in the precision as today.

And yes, I collect watches and pens: all kinds of the former and mostly Waterman in the latter.

Xapi (194 )
14 Jul 10 UTC

Fuck you guys, stop talking about fucking watches on the fucking swearing thread. Fuckers.

Xapi (194 )
14 Jul 10 UTC

"I was under the impression that "pendejo" meant "dick"! "

Nope. It's as I said, used as a derogatory for a young or inexperienced person, and it is supposed to mean "pubic hair".

So, that explains why ava confused it with dick... (read into it what you will <evil grin>)

centurion1 (1478 )

Yeah I really fucking like that fucking watch its fucking classy without being fucking ostentatious and making me look like a fucking tool.

Better?

I like my fucking Bulova for the same fucking reasons. I hate those huge fucking diamond encrusted piec of shits the fucking rappers wear.

Then they shouldn't fucking join live games. We all got 24 hours in a day to do the rest of that shit.

Again, who the fuck are to judge? Are you Edi Birsan? No! You're just Ava, another fucking player on a web site. You aren't even a mod. So leave them the fuck alone.

Wait till I get your fucking points. Then your sister. Then your mom.

centurion1 (1478 )
15 Jul 10 UTC

The thing about fucking not readying in fucking gunboats (live) is that then they don't have to refresh every few seconds hoping they don't miss the fucking turn phase.

Yeah drag I fucking agree. Fucking ostentatious watches are fucking stupid. The best watches are elegant not fucking jewel encrusted shit fucks

ava2790 (232 )
15 Jul 10 UTC

And then there are the fucking one-turn NMR ingrates that decide to leave and come back and then go batshit without looking at the board. Yeah well fuck you piece of shit cunt. We're actually playing serious strategy here and third guy is going to solo unless you stop fucking running around with your dick in your arse.

+1 to ava for verbalizing the old M*A*S*H joke about "I don't think that's phsyically impossible". Although for those fucktards, it may well be.

centurion1 (1478 )
16 Jul 10 UTC

What the fuck!!!. Middle of a live game and suddenly I can't fucking load my fucking orders. Ok so nothing bad really happens and I'm like fine whatever. Next fucking turn it won't let me fucking process my orders so exactly what I was guarding against hapeens. What the fuckity twatting fuck.

ava2790 (232 )
16 Jul 10 UTC

You know what this makes you? One of those NMR ingrates I mentioned above.

But JK you should fucking go out into the street and yell your guts out until you're done venting. I'd do it myself thanks to this one live game I'm playing. But the Obama residence is down the street and the bloody Secret Service will come get me or something.
