WTA vs PPSC
A frequent debate on this site. I'm of the WTA camp as I disdain the "strong second" PPSC mentality.
It seems that the inventor of the game, Allan Calhamer shared this view, arguing that the WTA objective provided for much more interesting end game drama.

Need sub for triathlon
DILK has gone AWOL so we need someone to take over a FP and GB game. If we can't get one person to do both, then I'd be more than happy to find a different person to do each game.

Roman Legions vs. Mongol Hordes
To commemorate the 807th anniversary of the grand Quriltai which saw Temujin elected as Genghis Khan, I ask who would win a battle between a force of Mongols and a slightly larger force of Roman legions (for the sake of discussion, we will say from the late republic/early empire period) in a head-to-head matchup? Please discuss.

Is war between Russia and England more or less inevitable?
The Norway-StP corridor is very hard to DMZ. Perhaps conflict will always occur. I at least cannot think of a time in recent memory that they went the whole game without fighting (barring an early elimination of one or both).

Discouraging country based resigns thought...
Webdip uses a country weighting system where the more often you have been a country, the less a chance you have of being it again and vice versa. So how about use that to deal with people that abandon a game because they got a country they don't like?

Is it just because I'm in college or what?
Does anyone else have the experience that the time when gender issues and parity come most the fore is when a coed group of people goes partying together? Shit just happens and you have to make decisions based on that stuff more often than in normal life. At least I feel that way. Thoughts?

So has obiwanobiwan finally matured and can I take him off my mute list?
Obi need not answer. I won't see it. But does anyone else want to chime in with their opinion so I can decide if it is safe to take him off? I kind of miss his long winded posts, but he got so over the top with his youthful insistence he knew everything I had to mute him or kill him before his 21st birthday, and I thought the former was the better option.

NigeeBaby 6
bo_sox48 1
Fortress Door 1

Mr Jennett holds on to a 6-point lead over Alex after his fabulous and hard won win in the Public Press game where friendships were won and lost at the drop of a post. Well done to Alex for the result, also Sydney for a tenacious and hard earned 9-point 2nd spot.
Fortress as Austria hung on for 1 with Austria but stayed bottom as bo-sox also registered his first point although must feel a bit aggrieved at a zero return after battling well all match and got mugged for his last 2 D at the very end, but he's still joint 3rd. All this leads to substantial market moves, see the new odds after 2 games.

Latest Odds:
BosephJennett 6/1 - 2/1F - 3/1F - 5/2F
Alex987 3/1 - 10/1 - 12/1 - 7/2
Sydney City 3/1 - 10/1 - 12/1 - 8/1

bo_sox48 3/1 - 10/1 - 5/1 - 14/1

If you believe the bookies this game is turning into a bit of a 2-horse race. Fortress are you long odds again :-)
