BH Liddell Hart

Anyone read him? His Strategy is a very good read and makes a lot of sense. I know people like Mearsheimer loathe him, but I think he has a lot to say, especially about having limited objectives, that can inform today's defense policies. I'd put him right up there with Jomini's Summary of the Art of War.

Why is King James' God So "Familiar" When He's...Not?

As I've said, I'm reading my way through the KJ Bible (KJ because you can't fully hope to ever be a Man of Letters like I hope to be someday without reading the Bible, like it or not, and the KJ version has had the biggest impact on English Literature) and it struck me partway through "Exodus"--OT, almighty, intimidating God speaks using "thou," but that'd be the INFORMAL version grammatically in James'/Shakespeare's day...but the OT God is anything BUT familiar and informal...?

So Help Me God...Naw--So Help Me WebDip Physicists, What's Higgs-Boson About?

Leaving that "God Particle" title alone--and if anyone brings God into THIS thread...shame on you, we have a debate coming up, for once, let's have a discussion sans the rhetoric, eh?--can any of our brilliant scientists here explain this? I've heard of it, and apparently it's important, but...what's it all mean, this particle...why would it hep give proof of...things? (Note my very technical jargon there.) ;)

Great tourney Achillies, congrats to you and the Czech for silver and gold, great allround although I must admit i'm not much of a fan of the public chat version... But look forward to the next tournament!!

achillies27 (100 )

Um, I got you to back off me when I was Austria and you were Italy... And you, Russia and turkey opened against me, you know why game I am talking about.

Fortress Door (1837 )

yes, good games all, even though the only one i got more than 5 centers in was the full press >.<

@achillies

i am too nice for this game -_-. If i stab someone i can often be convinced to call it off if they beg me enough and make me feel guilty >.<

Fortress, you have to be able to follow through... But It took forever for me to convince you.

Leonidas (635 )

I might be getting old, but I find it to be too wreckless, very unpredictable despite the openess of the chat...

Fortress Door (1837 )

@achillies. I am aware of that, and i really am working on it :p.

@Leonidas. And it sounds wierd when you request all those DMZ's with people... you are basicly DMZ'ing everything around you

Anyway it's official. The PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER CHAMP 2012 is

I'm sure he'll wear that title with pride, until he defends it next year and I'll take my revenge :-)

Leonidas (635 )

All hail!! **the Czech**

In the end, a Spartan's true strength is the warrior next to him. So give respect and honour to him, and it will be returned to you.
Respect... and Honour...
... The Czech!!
Spartans!! What is our profession?!?
WAR!! WAR!! WAR!!

This was fun (though I played terribly). I can't join the one you guys started but I'd love to be in on the next one!

NigeeBaby (100 )

Kremen to start a new tourney all you need is a cool name 25

and 6 other players

kremen (106 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

So true, NB. My regular friends on here aren't really 5-games-at-the-same-time players though, so that's my biggest challenge.

NigeeBaby (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

I'll play......5 other players, I've even got a few potential names :-)

If the tournament starts after August 5, I'll play it. Or we can have a ten day pause, but a sitter is useless since I won't be in any other games.

achillies27 (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

You can start it then, I wont be joining any more games until the same general time too bo_sox..

kremen (106 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

OK - let's aim for August 6 then to start recruiting for an August 10 (at latest) start.

7 Players

6 Games. 5 as we did here (3 Gunboats, 1 Anon Press, 1 Public Press only) and 1 for the top 5 players (Ancient Med Playoff) after those 5 games are over.

As with this tournament - each SC = 1 point. The tournament winner will be the one with the most points, not necessarily the most wins.

Sound good folks?

achillies27 (100 )

Huh... Nigee! AnOther variant! And, I am in.

Which subjects are sacred?

Zmaj raised an interesting point. We can slander and insult and wrestle and mock politics and religion without end, but as soon as someone starts in on personal histories and former cheating cases, it becomes very hush hush and people start tiptoeing around. Not that I disagree necessarily, but what makes personal history and former cheating cases et al. more taboo than politics and religion, the latter of which is supposedly deeply personal?
