To whom it may concern,
I suspect a player in one of my games of multi-ing. Who should I contact?

I believe we're talking this friday at 8 pm not sure which time zone however.

SacredDigits (102 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Eastern is the only true time zone. All others must be subservient to it.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Hrm that's 7 pm here. May have to make an early dinner then.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Hm. Ok. Let me check to see if I can manage it. Also what are we using for video. Skype? Because I am technologically handicapped at times.

SacredDigits (102 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Right now, my chances of being there seem to be around 65%, so feel free to replace me. I'd need my new PC to arrive AND I have a...bit of a family situation that has begun unfolding this morning that may or may not have repercussions on Friday availability.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

No clue since I've never been on webcam before.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Well if we can't get enough this friday then next, but let's try for this one.

2ndWhiteLine (2601 )

I'm not sure if Skype is capable of having seven people videochat at once, I would recommend a Google+ Hangout. I know its capable of handling over seven at once, but I've never used it. You'd need a Google+ account to participate.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Ok. Sounds like we need to all get Google+ accounts. I can manage that.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Ok. I've got it set up. It seems simple enough. We would just have to get everyone in together on Google+ hangout (assuming it can handle 7 people)

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Seems easy enough. Google+ accounts are easy to get as well.

2ndWhiteLine (2601 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

The demonstration video I watched showed eight people in the hangout, so I'm assuming it can do seven fairly easily.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Neat. I hope this happens. Again, I will have to make sure it works with my schedule, but its looking promising.

NikeFlash (140 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

I would ask to join, but I have work:(

2ndWhiteLine (2601 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Tonight and Thursday we need to confirm a list of participants to give everyone time to get a G+ account and test it with their system.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

@Nike: What's more important? And don't pick the obvious answer.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

I will let you know for sure either way tonight.

NikeFlash (140 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Just to clarify, this is a drinking game mixed with diplomacy? (this will effect my answer Tom.)

SacredDigits (102 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

I got a g+ account now.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

It is Nike

NikeFlash (140 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Yeah, nvm then. I first though it was like a live f2f using webdeplomacy. I did not realize the drinking game too, after actually reading everything I now do. I wish that I could watch how it played out.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Well if this works out then maybe we could get a video game going once or twice a week. Technology is so nice to games like this in that respect.

NikeFlash (140 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

I expect a detailed EoG for this game, even if you are so far gone that you pass out on the keyboard, what your face types will suffice.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

rofl .. the drunkest person should be the winner in theory.

Poozer (962 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

You guys better make it "live press" only... so make it gunboat rules on the site and all communication must be spoken to everyone.

It'll just get better as people drink more.

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

We can come up with rules tonight/tomorrow to formalize it. As it stands we need 1-3 players still.

Thucydides (864 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

i dunno i read PE as saying

"fuck it"

and requesting we write him an obit.

so i think he is in. like irving berlin.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Yeah. I'm not going to be able to do it. I have to drive later friday night. Also, my roommate is the RA in the dorm I live in, so the whole alcohol thing is an issue insomuch as I don't want to get him in trouble. And I don't know if I can find somewhere to sit on my computer and drink all friday night... I don't think they would be ok with me doing this at the library...

Celticfox (100 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

Understandable Tom and we'll just have to wait to hear from PE then.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
21 Mar 12 UTC

If this turns into a weekly or at least reoccurring thing, I'll figure out a way to get in.

WebDip Poll: Romney vs Obama.

Based on the recent previous discussions on the US election race and the new primaries that almost seal Romney's nomination, I thought it would be interesting to retake the poll that was previously taken over who will win between Romney and Obama in the 2012 US election:

Are you perfect or imperfect?

If you aren't perfect then isn't the best use of your time and energy striving to improve yourself instead of passing judgment on others? If you are perfect then why not share the secret with everyone instead of passing judgment on others?

Draw, Pause, Cancel

When this feature is used all at the same time - is there a general consensus as to what it is meant to imply?

My feeling is that the player is saying 'peace peace peace! we have to work together against the solo threat'. Is that what others see or do people just look at it without a second thought?

One of the better commercials.

I'll admit it, I quite enjoy commercials. But when they play as long as this one has, it normally gets really annoying. Still one if my favourites though so I thought to share it with our non-hoser members. Enjoy.
