Anonymous players games vs not

I'm playing in a game where there has been a discussion in global surrounding the issue of players having played in the same games before. Without mentioning player names and game ID am I safe to start a discussion about this issue here in the forum or should I wait until the game in question is over?

Have some time to kill. Ask yes/no questions to guess who I am. If you guess right you go next. If you guess wrong you're out for the rest of the round.

Aw, crap. I just noticed I answered a question completely wrong.

Were you driven to commit your crimes by a belief in the supernatural?

Tolstoy (1962 )
30 Apr 15 UTC

A prostitute? - no
Was the crime you were convicted of one of passion? - no
Would you have been convicted of the same crime in modern day america? (Ie, people are no longer put on trial for being a witch) - the same act(s) is/are still considered criminal, so the answer is yes, although the name of the charge(s) would probably be different.

Tolstoy (1962 )

I think this: "Did you emigrate from England at any point in your life? (meaning changing citizenship) - no" was the question that was throwing everyone off (aside from the very wrong death timeframe). Mary Read left England, but never changed her citizenship.

Finding a specific gaming laptop in the Netherlands(/Europe)

Hey guys, I'm looking for a gaming laptop (with some help I came to the conclusion that the ASUS ROG G751JT-CH71 might be the best option, although I'm also still considering the cheaper ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71). However, I can't really find it in Europe, or elsewhere without paying over $350 in shipping costs. So now I'm wondering if I missed something and/or there are alternative laptops that will work just as well and don't need to be shipped in for a shitload of money.

Emulator

Do you know a good emulator for Diplomacy. I am not talking about a game you play offline with your friends in your living room but more like a game where you can set all the armies and fleets on the map then you start a game. I'm doing some "what will you do in that situation?" questions for my brother.
