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.

For those that don't know: https://geoguessr.com/

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.

Bullying and harassment on the forum
I have a couple questions regarding this because I think a recent thread that was locked today brings up a lot of good questions that I think need to be asked.

There is definitely one chap here at WebDiplomacy of whom I can say, I would just love to put some of him into one of my characters, and neither of you two clowns are that person. To be truthful, I doubt if either of you two clowns will get past the "idle speculation on my part" stage.
But this other chap, he is light years ahead if you two in what he brings to the table for me, his thoughts and contribution would be invaluable.

@MajorMitchell

please to god don't write yourself into whatever novel or play you are writing. Even if it's an autobiography, if you want it to sell then you should just eliminate that entire character arc (pretentious yet easily offended)

MajorMitchell (1874 D)

Thank you Demon Overlord. I really do appreciate your interest. I know I have "an audience" in the real world & I have to commit myself to writing to them. It's bloody scary for me, it's such a contradictory thing for me, it's easy and it's almost impossibly dificult all at the same time. Fortunately, as I have hinted, it's the strength of those close to me and their love that makes it possible for me to believe I can succeed, and they help me find the courage to try.
Yes, some comments have been hurtful. But blighters like James and ssorenn will not cause me to deviate from my chosen course. Some behaviours, some types of belief systems ( & maybe I think our two clowns indulge in these ) have to be confronted and exposed, revealed as fraudulent, selfish and stupid, imho. Why is there so much hatred in our world, so much selfishness ? I'm far from perfect, I fail, I am rude to people for trivial reasons.
One of those clowns mentioned me crying. I have been. Another young person, a beautiful young woman, tortured by self doubts, driven by demons about self image, what is thought to be beautiful.. You can figure it out. I weep for her parents, her friends, and for her. In the midst of such prosperity, material wealth in relative global terms...There was also a tragic murder of a young woman at a local beach a few years ago. So the questions haunt me.. What are the really important things in life and why do we fail to understand their true importance ? What does it take to reawaken our awareness, as different individuals and collectively ? If I can find a way to get even a few people to ask themselves these questions. It's not just young women, it's young men as well, it's a big problem in marginalised indigineous communities.. it feels like an epidemic of tragedy. It's almost "normalised" & we shouldn't be surprised to have another grieving family next week/next month. So yes, I want to shake it up a bit, explore some big themes, use characters and plot to put some confronting questions out there. For a whole variety of reasons. When I drop out for a while, that means I am working seriously. Right now it's early days, so although I've got my answer to the "am I prepared to give this what it will take question, a yes I am...I still have time to post here, while I sketch out my cast, work up a plot outline, scribble ideas into notebooks. One "industry" ( that we call it an industry is in itself interesting ) the gambling industry is set for a right solid kick in the rear vestibule in my story.

I hope you have a good life MajorMitchell and I hope your writing does well.

But if YOU create a thread being petty trying to get people to stop using the word motherfucker, and then proceed to degrade anyone who says otherwise, I'm going to give up caring about your sensibilities when people retaliate.

You have a serious disconnect with reality that you need to address

You're, in my opinion an untruthful idiot James. If the argument put for continuing to use MF in the forum is pitched a certain way, that's how I tend to respond. Anyway, you've been of no help at all, so you've been told. This is all becoming rather meaningless. You expressed some opinions about writing, well why don't you go off and have a crack at it sunshine ? Let's see who gets published and who sells most.

Your problem, Major, is that the people who are inclined to use motherfucker, are the same people who are largely going to be the people who don't care about others' feelings to begin with. Your argument is solid, but will bear almost no weight with those you seek to convince.

A pretentious but easily offended character doesn't "sell well" to the public, it's a delight to shatter that illusion, one just got elected to the Presidency of the USA, and if he implodes during the story, that's even better for sales, I'd suggest.

I'm not playing obviously because it's completely anon. If you join, please do NOT post here or anywhere that you've joined. I'll periodically bump this thread until it fills.

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.
