Is there anyway...
I could be un-banned? I've played on this site since 2007 and have very much enjoyed my time here. I got banned because one of my friends spelled his name wrong in the forum. Apparently this was seen as an act of disrespect to _The Moderators_. I never disrespected _The Moderators_.

Serious question......
....... if there was a training course on things such as personal development, self-awareness, self-confidence, public speaking, etc, etc what aspects of this (if any) would help you in your life ?
What things do you think would help people be more effective ?

Which dumbass thought we should call everyone who isn't white "People of Colour"?
1. Black isn't a colour.
2. White is all colours.
3. White people change colour when cold, ashamed, hot, sick, dead, and they're born pretty red. Black people stay black.
"People of colour" is probably the most offensive way to call black people, right before "nigger".

dyager_nh (619 D)
13 Nov 13 UTC
I mean 15 moves over 24 hours...not sure if that was fast. I know losing in 15 moves is fast :)
krellin (80 DX)
13 Nov 13 UTC
It was pretty fast. I think you are not looking at the moves that come after the moves that come after the moves...

I think your downfall was pawn g2-g4, because after that I confronted your pawn/bishop, we exchanged pawns and then you retreated. Pretty much from that point on I was chasing you. Any time you have to retreat, you are giving the other player an extra move, if that makes sense.
dyager_nh (619 D)
13 Nov 13 UTC
I am incapable of thinking beyond my opponents next move. I can think mine in advance but for some reason I am not wired that way. I tend to win through attrition which doesnt work well when I am in a retreat situation like you described.

A few opening rules:
1) Don't move pieces twice in the opening
2) Don't lost the two bishops for no serious compensation.
3) don't bring your queen out early.

Krellin, Gameknot offers a cool analyze border feature. It only allows you to do it a few times per year if you're not a paying member but it does add some interesting insight.

A few opening rules:
1) Don't move pieces twice in the opening
2) Don't lost the two bishops for no serious compensation.
3) Don't bring your queen out early.
4) Try to develop all the pieces, first the knights, then the bishops.
5) Try to castle before move 10.
6) Control the centre of the board.

Of course, this rules have many exceptions.

Hello all
Its been a while. I'd like to play some quality gunboat games for old times sake. I'd like to be at least 101 point buy in. 24-36 hour phases so everyone has time to get moves in. etc. This is sort of an invitational so I'd like to get some good players to play against.

Why do people play Gunboat?
I'm not denouncing the game mode here. I was just wondering why people want to play Diplomacy without the negotiation aspect. To me, it seems to defeat the purpose of playing the game. I would be happy if someone could clarify this for me.

Why are there non anonymous games?
Since meta gaming is strictly prohibited and frowned upon I have to say I see no benefit to having non anonymous games. All it does is allow people to carry grudges or othe stuff from past games rather than playing the game at hand. Similarly, there seems to be no clear reason why usernames can't also change
