What did you guys want to be when you grew up.
I'm not an adult yet, and I still am unsure about what job I want. I used the Holland personality codes, and I'm an IES, which suggests pharmacist, but that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Some other jobs it says I might be good at are physician, actuary, and training manager. Of those, actuary and training manager look the most intersting. But this isn't just about me. What dod you guys want to be when you grew up?

Disband instead of retreat
My understanding of the rules of the game were that you were allowed to simply disband a unit instead of retreating it. Is this also true of webdiplomacy? When the retreat round comes will my pull down menu offer a disband option?

Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?
If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!
She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

Does anyone know why we have to option to have phases that are "1 days, 1 hours" or "2 days, 1 hours"? I'm just curious why we have that option?

Corrupt a Wish
The first person makes a positive wish, and the next person plays the role of the djinn granting the wish, and then turning it into a disaster. The second person then makes the next wish, and the cycle repeats itself.

I wish the UK had a Tory/Lib Dem coalition government
largeham (149 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
But then the infighting between the two parties destroys the coalition, and then Labour retakes the government with Gordon Brown at the head.

I wish I was dead.
Sebastinovich (313 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. You find that after death there is a hell, and suffer for eternity.

I wish that all ignorant people save for the ones necessary for menial labour vanished.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but the loss of consumer markets destroys the world economy and you end up losing your house.

I wish that I could find a better summer job than at an insurance company.
rayNimagi (375 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. You become the apprentice to a manager of a sewage plant. You are paid slightly more (and thus "better"), but are forced to endure terrible smells in the sweltering summer heat.

I wish they had Tim Horton's in Texas.
krellin (80 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but then Texas cedes from the Union and the United States imposes a strict embargo on the country of Texas. To make matters worse, the CIA poisons all your cattle and the Tim Horton's closes for lack of supplies.

I wish I had a pet butterfly.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
05 Jul 10 UTC
Ok. But it's a dead pet butterfly.

I wish my wish would not be corrupted in any way or have any negative or neutral aspects, only positive.
krellin (80 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Since you can only wish one wish at a time, your wish for non-corruption - the second wish - is ignored. Your first wish, which was unexpressed, is open to the will of the Djinn, and you are covered in foul. stinking festering boils for your attempt to trick the Djinn.

I wish my pet butterfly were not dead.
Draugnar (0 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but it turns into a mutant killer butterfly and devours your entire hometown.

I wish my mother-in-law would go home already.
krellin (80 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted...and then you find her change-of-address forms as she's kicking back in your favorite chair...

I wish my new mutant killer butterfly would devour the next town, too, because they're all bastards over there!
Draugnar (0 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but they are equiped with a nuclear weapon and ,seeing the result of your wish, launch their weapon at your towns center.

I wish I had a deliciously healthy sandwich.
Sebastinovich (313 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but the paradox of a deliciously healthy sandwhiches causes the local space-time continuum to snap, resulting in a mini-universe where sandwhiches can be deliciously healthy.

I wish chickens.
rayNimagi (375 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted. The room you're currently fills up with chickens until you suffocate.

I wish there were more people who would play Diplomacy in real life.
saxophonedude (100 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but they all play real life Diplomacy with real countries. You are Italy. You are destroyed as Germany, France, Austria and Turkey gang up on you.

I wish I was back at my moon house.
krellin (80 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but while you were out a gang of mutant moon teenagers broke out all your windows. As you wave goodbye to your supply ship and notice your oxygen supplies are perilously low, a sad tear rolls down your cheek and you suffocate....

I wish my mutant moths would save me from the impending nuclear attack on my city.
killer135 (100 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but you forgot the moon had no oxygen for you to breathe.
I wish i had a brand new car
killer135 (100 D)

@Krellin, granted but then the mutant moths eat your city because they are hungry after saving you.I wish i had a brand new car

Granted, but it is returned to you on your death bed.

killer135 (100 D)

Yes you do wish. However since you said not what you wish for you get nothing. I wish my cat was 100 feet tall

krellin (80 DX)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but you cat has diarrhea. Really, really bad diarrhea...

I wish to be content.
killer135 (100 D)
05 Jul 10 UTC
Granted, but the rest of the world does not like how content you are and a group of hunters hunt you down and kill you. i wish my cat didn't turn into a tiger.
krellin (80 DX)

....with diarrhea...

A'holes leaving the game?
I just had a game where a person left the game for no apparent reason other than it looked like they may not win. This really throws off a game. First, how and why can a person do this? Second, is there a way to flag them or block them from games so they can't keep doing it to you?

Facebook diplomacy - any devs out there?
Hey, I'm a mod on the facebook app for diplomacy, but the person who set me up (and presumably has higher-level access) has gone incommunicado.

There are some problems with the forum and profiles and I wonder if the database needs a clear-out. Can anyone over here work on the facebook app, or is it totally stranded now?
