"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama

If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS

If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions

So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

was lincoln great for our elite?

bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant

Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

@josunice -- I was actually leaving you alone and we were support holding one another. I was really shocked when you tapped English Channel. It seemed very out of place. Do you remember what your thought process was there?

josunice (3702 )
21 May 13 UTC

England was no threat to me at that point so restoring balance made sense as yu two were not going to reconcile. I needed to turn attention east, so I supported england getting back some strength. However, I got outplayed by Russia too quickly... (I.e. Damn you Faifax!)

josunice (3702 )

Ok.. Half asleep bed texting is losing too many characters... Or jst these fat thumbs... Either way, goodnight!

SplitDiplomat (101466 )
21 May 13 UTC

@Josunice you were doing fine in this game, we were talking about the other old game mentioned in the thread by Mapu. In your game Germany was in a very different position compared to Germany in the other game. You were under the Russian attack and before that you had to deal with bad England move nth - hol in autumn '01. And with even worse move nth - hel in spring '02. So it wasn't possible for you to survive in a long term. Your only small mistake was building two fleets in '02 imo. But you couldn't have done much more either way.

josunice (3702 )
21 May 13 UTC

Good to hear I didn't TOTALLY FUBAR it... though I concede the two fleets in '02 was too enticing a move for Russia... I probably would have had a better outcome with an Army holding ground in Berlin, nudging Silesia and discouraging a Russian grab... Good call, Split...

Fairfax (1915 )
21 May 13 UTC

Exactly. I felt my position in scandinavia was threatened, so I ulimately decided to turn from south against you. Had you built a fleet in Kiel and army in Berlin instead, I would have probably stayed focused on the south.

SplitDiplomat (101466 )
21 May 13 UTC

Excatly - an army in Berlin to watch out for Silesia. A fleet was enough to take Baltic. But you were distracted by England so two fleets were also understandable I believe.

It wasa crazy game, the three players who drew, none had particularly good starts at all. Everything came together later.

Gen. Lee (7588 )

Yes Italy is not supposed to survive with 3 units at the end of 1902, Lando must not have wanted me to completely strike out this tourney!

rdrivera2005 (3533 )
23 May 13 UTC

Yes, I confess I didn´t move south because I was waiting Turkey to jump against Italy and I don´t want Italy to collapse too fast. In the end this costed me the place in the draw....

ava2790 (232 )

I'll shoulder some of the blame for that ^

Amazing how fortunes have changed in this round. I came in due to a ludicrous tie with The Czech for the wildcard spot and am in a relatively secure position thus far. Josunice soloed thrice in the last round and is yet to score a point!

y2kjbk (4846 )
