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....

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

Regardless the final outcome, rdr, you have proved in this tournament you are one of the top gunboat players on this site. These finals were a set of very fun games, I am really happy to have shared them with each of you. We await one final game at this point. We should know the results very soon, though.

Very nice win Y2K, congratulations. I sort of figured solos would be hard to get in the finals here, impressed there was even one. I think we had really good competition and some really fun games.

I will be in touch with the mods to get you your $$$.

And as a final note, keep your eyes posted come 2014 for the next instalment of this tournament. I plan to keeping this an annual event, any feedback is welcome.

Well played, Y2K! That's one nasty field you just navigated.

Lando, if you want to take over my pages on TGM's site, please do. Having a stable outside source for tourney rules and info linked with the thread here cuts out a lot of repetitive posting, among other advantages. I have no idea who we would need to go to so you can get set up there, but I don't think that would be too hard to figure out.

Also, if I have the time when the next one starts, I'd be glad to help out.
