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?

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.

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 D buy-in. Please post interest below. I'll set up the game next week (likely), and if we generate enough interest, maybe multiple games.

@Draug

I'm not sure how I feel about sticky threads, especially with only one forum. I guess it would be good for official mod statements, but if we had more than 1 or 2 sticky threads, it would get really hard to use the Forum.
Draugnar (0 DX)
27 Mar 12 UTC
Yeah, so only the mods could make them sticky and the mods could unsticky one at their desire as well. If it were a mod function, where would the problem be?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
27 Mar 12 UTC
Well, it seems unfair that this thread, for instance, would be sticky just because it's being run by the site admins. There are plenty of tournaments and I certainly wouldn't want to sticky any of those.
fortknox (2059 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
I dunno about the cincy board gamers, draug. It's more of a 'meet people from webdip', so if they want to get into it, have them log into the site. I don't want a bunch of random strangers mixed in with the 'random people I've met on the internet' group.

@FK

At the Boston F2F, we had about Boston players come play with us. It was nice for two reasons:
1) We needed the extra people
2) Alex (TD for Boston Massacre) was a great help, giving pointers about the tournament and was willing (and capable) to play 2 boards at once on Saturday, so that we could have quality games.

It will depend a lot, of course, on how many people actually are interested this year. If we have 4 boards, it's not a big issue, but a lot of F2Fers are happy to help new players out.

Why not sticky the other torunaments when they are being organized? Just say you allow 4 sticky threads at once. If the mods want to bump one up, another has to come off?

But this discussion is really just a lame excuse to bump the thread. :-)

Honestly, fortknox, I have no d\problem with that decision one way or the other, but I'd rather bearnstien not be invited. He has never apologized for his actions and is still banned from the site, IIRC. So how is that representative of people form webdip? If strangers form outside aren't welcome, how can we welcome a blatant and unrepentant cheat?

Thanks for the PP info. People should feel free to send him money; he'll make sure it gets to FK.

Unfortunately, I don't want to make a PP account and apparently I can no longer do transfers without one. So, I'll need to wait until FK gives us his info.

Again; depending where you fly from, flights to Cleveland are pretty inexpensive (via SouthWest or Continental... I mean United (ugh)). I can pick people up at Hopkins on the way and carpool south to Cincy. That may ease some of the cost. I just need a couple week's notice for planning purposes/timing.

I was bummed I missed Boston and it sounded like a great time. I'm looking forward to this.
Draugnar (0 DX)
29 Mar 12 UTC
I think a few might be coming from Columbus and or Indy and both of them have reasonable flights as well. Don't fly into Cinci on Delta though. Incoming might not be bad, but the return trip costs an arm and a leg.
