Even though it wasn't a actual tournament or anything and the games were originally 'wait for ready up' and that stopped halfway through leading to a lot of cds... i figured as they've all come to an end i would post the "results" anyway

"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....

Diplomacy for the slow and old

Any interest in a 3 to 4 day phase game? I'd definitely want WTA, but buy-in, anonymity, and map (classic or modern) are up for debate. Drop a line and your preferences if interested. Thanks.

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?

College Life

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

GUNBOAT TOURNAMENT

As has been mentioned, I am hoping to run a gunboat tournament. I intend it to be basic but also comprehensive. I will detail some "things" below. I would like to get a read on who would be interested in playing.

"Nigee, isn't there a Double Jeopardy component to this tournament?"

Not sure 'cos I just posted I was interested 'cos someone else was, I don't want to miss out. Does 'double jeopardy' mean I get tried twice for the same offense even though I was found not-guilty 1st time around?

@Nigee I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to ready up.

That rule killed me with MadMarx's gunboat game, serving as a constant reminder at the top of my page of the thrashing I was receiving.

ava2790 (232 )

The other rule is that if you make it to the next round of the tournament, you HAVE to resign from the tournament.

TheMinisterOfWar (553 )

Yes, I find that weird too. We do have a field of eliminated players from round 1. I would hope that the replacement was the highest seed from that batch.

04 Jun 13 UTC

Mapu - did you seriously get points for gameID=113939 ? No units and no home centers... hmmmmmmmm.... that would blow if that were the deciding factor to knock someone out, but no less valid, I guess....

josunice (3702 )
04 Jun 13 UTC

Who is the replacement? I guess I'll see with the next completed game, but why are we made to wait for that little nugget?

Mapu (362 )
04 Jun 13 UTC

I had written that game off last week once Turkey abandoned me even after I helped secure the stalemate line.

The only thing I can think of is that I was helping France a lot early on and maybe he felt bad. But I guess only CSteinhardt can say for sure!
