How to play Russia in Gunboat
Title. I suck at Russia in gunboat. I have no clue what high level strategy I should be going for. I just always die after accomplishing virtually nothing.

Geoguessr, anyone?
I was wondering if anyone else plays it. It seems like the kind of thing folks around here might like.

Rhyme Time II
I'm looking for a few good word magicians. Give me your nobles, your humble and fancy patricians. I need 7 players to commit to a time; to play an unranked press game whose objective is rhyme.

@ssorenn, I repeat my request that you withdraw the offensive and abusive comment "# mitchellisamotherf***er" . I do not ask for any apology, although think that one is owed to me from your good self. Just a simple withdrawal, without reservations of your offensive and abusive comment.

Well at times I am looking for names for characters. And I am entering one of those times out in the real world. Most of the characters I create are like ordinary people ~ a mix of good, strong qualities, with the usual human weaknesses. My heroes have to be flawed as well, and their heroism comes when they rise above their weaknesses, their dark side, usually only for the brief, important moments that suddenly confront them, when characters make life changing decisions. But there always have to be a few "bad characters" ~the villains in the stories ~ and similarly to my heroes, my villains and rogues must have some good within themselves, usually quite a surprising to the rogue character amount of goodness, they are not by nature bad people, they've just made poor choices, and forgotten that they are good people, they've lost touch with the parts of themselves that can bring their own redemption.
But if course there are sometimes the stupid, bad characters, lazy, selfish etc, whose goodness has been irretrievably lost within themselves.
Maybe a variation on ssorenn might be a name I could use for a fictional, extreme sleazebag, someone my readers will have virtually no sympathy for, someone they will really dislike, and of course a character who comes to an extremely nasty end. Don't expect anything soon, it's a long time from a first draft to a possible publication.
I'm working on one character that I hope my readers will really like, he's an Artist, but a young idealistic blighter, so he will suffer for that. Will he find happiness and love ? Eventually, yes of course he does. I can't call him Brainbomb, I have Basil, Barrington, and other "first" names under consideration & Blyth, or Blythe pencilled in as a surname
Basil Blythe ? Barrington Blythe ? A blithe spirit nevertheless

Or if course I could read a simple withdrawal from ssorenn, and it ends there.

Let's play...ssorenn... Rose & nns ...Rose Ennis ? Ron & ssen ? Ron Ness ? Ron Ness, with a nickname "wrongness" ?
MajorMitchell (1874 D)
06 Feb 17 UTC
I'm liking Ron Ness as a name, nickname wrongness, because he's invariably wrong, about everything
MajorMitchell (1874 D)
06 Feb 17 UTC
That's a big thing for me, to use Ron or Ronald as a character name I've always avoided using it.

Deliberate repetition of a targeted piece of abuse that uses an offensive gender based epithet , way to go children. No wonder I can't wait to finish with all this for a while, including the Diplomacy game itself. I am playing badly in the remaining game I was foolish enough to enter & I know why.
It's the contradictions between my deas about what is truly important, those values and principles that are central to this new real world project, such as wellthe way most of us promote lesser things to greater importance & lose our humanity, abandon spiritual enlightenment, because we think it more important to acquire things that really are ephemeral trinkets, achieve goals that are selfish. Another writer chap put it much better than I could ever hope to when he wrote.. What does it profit a person to gain the whole world, but lose their soul ? The "winner takes all is good" philosophy & the "befriend, use, betray, steal from and discard" method of achieving success represent the antithesis of what I'm getting into, exploring & embracing. Switching from that to WebDiplomacy & back again is causing me significant problems.. So one has to go, has to be given up, so that I can be happy and creative.

well if you suck at the game then that's on you. i don't consider relative ethics while playing monopoly.

moving outside of your comfort zone is good for perspective, but not having the self control to be able to hold onto your ideology while be surrounded by opposing voices is nothing more than a sign someone with weak will.

of course the correct thing to do is to create a thread asking that everyone else recognize and accept your higher moral ground as righteous and stop being so petulant. yes we "children" are so immature, we felt the need to create a massive complaint about a word that is entirely harmless except to those with the thinnest skin

oh, or is that you?

Maybe if Ron Ness makes it past editing he might have an even stupider sidekick who also meets his literary grisly come~uppance & well deserved fate, which is not necessarily oblivion for them both, but exposure to the world in their undisguised, true & most repellant form

Feature request: expand mod powers
I've noticed that a lot of people have been having issues with mod's decisions lately and I think the forum would be a better place if the mods/ admins had the powers to do more than just ban a user and if they were allowed to, for example, also kill the user's family. Implementing a "-1 and ban" feature underneath the +1 feature may also be funny to watch. Thank you and I hope you take my ideas into consideration.

Feature request: time clock location
It would be really nice to have the countdown clock right above the order menu. That way one wouldn't have to scroll up to see how many precious seconds are left (wasting precious seconds). Would be pretty useful toward the end of the 5-minute 1v1's in which there are a lot of orders to fill.
