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?

China's Future

The title's misleadingly provocative, but this is an interesting analysis of how China's political system is facing real challenges.

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.

We had 21 lined up, but a group of 4 friends never showed up, so we had auto-move Italy in all three games and Alex was playing two games at once...

abgemacht (1076 )
25 Mar 12 UTC

Personally, I would like 14 people paid in full before we book a venue. Although, FK is backing the bill this year, so the call is his.

Do we agree to June 20-22? If so, we can think of a deadline to try to get the 14 people.

MadMarx (36299 )

"Our bank account always resets to 100 whenever we go under right?"

I can tell you this is false. My bank accounts been under $100 for about a month now =P

zultar (4180 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

Then we need to get Kestas to take over the banks.
I mean whatever system he is using here has got to be better than the scams and "derivatives" that Wall Street uses.
A vote for Kestas is a vote for a minimum of 100 in your bank!

Draugnar (0 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

Does that apply to every account I have?

zultar (4180 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

LOL. No. You will then be silenced first and then banned next.
You may have only one account in the Bank of Kestas.
Checking and savings are free of course. Your ghost ranking report, on the other hand, is intermittent and precarious.

Draugnar (0 )

But checking is one accoutn and savings is another, and what about Roth and traditional IRAs? CDs (certificate of deposit not civil disorder or compact disc)? And my stock accounts?

Babak (26982 )

I'm in. fk, if you have BoA, I can direct deposit. or please PM me an address and I'll mail a check this week.

FK/Draug... Do you need someone to pick up a board or bring anything?

abgemacht (1076 )

It would be nice if we kept track of who has a board to bring:

Tentative Roster:

1) Fortknox
2) abgemacht (Board)
3) Draugnar
4) gramilaj (Not 1st weekend)
5) MM
6) Thucy (Wild Card, as usual)
7) Geofram
8) Tom Bombadil
9) Agent K
10) Bearnstien
11) LanGaidin (Board)

yebellz (729 )

Bearnstien is on the roster?

abgemacht (1076 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

Some other things that would be nice for people to sign up for:

-A bunch of pens and cheap notebooks to write orders in
-Other games (Magic, Settlers, RISK!, etc) to play when people get eliminated.
-Plastic ware (especially cups).
-Snacks (Pretzels, chips, drinks, etc)

zultar (4180 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

Oh my, this is certainly an intriguing line up.

abgemacht (1076 )
26 Mar 12 UTC

@yebellz

He is unless FK decides he's not welcome. That's not for me to say. I'm just keeping track of current interest.
