New Variant Trials Finished
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

I'm sorry, but to get to the finals you need to delay the start of games and protest to not continue in the tournament. Since you do not fit these criteria you are rejected from our tournament.

Congratulations to rdrivera2005, lando calrissian, split diplomat, gen lee, y2kjbk, csteinhardt and ava2790.

My assumption is that all the finalists will participate. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE or if you are unable to for some reasons, please let me know now. A simple yes or no from each finalist, here or in PM, will suffice. If there is an issue, please PM me instead. Do not post it here.

Once I have verified that the finalists are all ready or if I need to find a replacement, then I will make the games at the same time. I hope that will be sufficient.
Thanks again to all the players who have participated so far, quality of games have been great. I will play this final obviously, would like to ask to delay joining until after the long weekend (which is this coming weekend in Canada).
ava2790 (232 D(S))

I accept, of course. ;-)

Can we get a refresher on scoring/tie-break for the finals? Shall we put a little extra skin on these finals games?
Mapu (362 D)
27 Jun 13 UTC
What a lineup in the finals! So excited to watch these games.

My pick is the dark horse y2k shocking the webdip world.

Where is Nigee? We need some odds.
Based on original seedings done by alltime ggr the finals is
1 split 2 dr. s 4 lando 7 ava 8 gen 21 rdr 22 y2k
ava2790 (232 D(S))
27 Jun 13 UTC
Scoring - solo is 13 D. Draw is 12/#survivors. Defeat is zero. Surviving during a solo is zero.

Tie break - number of solos, number of draws, number of scs in survives (draws only)

Grand prize is 1400 D winner takes all.
That's not correct. Solos worth 1 other results nil. Tiebreak is number of centres ( draws and survives)

Wondering if we want to implement special rule for irrevocable draw votes?
ava2790 (232 D(S))
27 Jun 13 UTC
Wait seriously? Is there a forum page number I can reference? Tried looking for it but the site sucks on mobile
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
27 Jun 13 UTC
I would be in favor of irrevocable draws, if others are open to implementing for the finals.
