1000 Point Buy In

Is there any interest in a higher stakes game? WTA, etc etc just tell me what you want to join.

I'm on a fantastic losing streak and need to double down.

The Greatest Musical Act Tournament: Broup A: 1600s-1960

And so we begin The Greatest Musical Act Tournament with Group A...or, as every group will be called here, "The Group of Death" (as the World Cup has taught me that's the only name to give to any group ever.) :p How will the Great Composers fare? Which immortal band or act will bring about the most outrage? Who will Team Vergil pull for THIS time...while Shakespeare sulks in the corner, STILL wondering how he lost...TWICE. :p Here we go!

He gets the slight nod over Bach based on his appearance on Animaniacs.

Yakoska (496 )

I nominated the Beet (Someone else did too)... But I do love Bach too. I'll give Beethoven the nod for the 9th, even though like many great things it has become trite.

Beethoven, easily.

It would be impossible to choose if it was only about music. Both are magnificent. But I vote for Beethoven.because he was not only a musical genius, but also a very interesting character.

Beethoven never had a bubble gum card but he gets my vote.

obiwanobiwan (248 )

Back/Mozart/Beethoven are the Holy Trinity of Western Music...

So while it's pretty obvious who I want to win out of those three, any of them getting through to the Final Four is a win. :)

To the match-up itself...

Well, I've been championing diversity of style and genre success this whole time, and will do so on Mozart's behalf vs. whomever wins this round...

Beethoven might not have been without Bach, but I think it's fair to say Beethoven's music is a bit more diverse, especially in terms of the emotional range and complexity of his symphonies...

So I vote Beethoven, knowing 1. It might mean trouble for my beloved Mozart and 2. As we've said time and time again, the man did NOT even get his face on a bubble gum card, so his greatness is rather dubious. :p

kasimax (243 )

"beethoven is more diverse" "in terms of complexity"

apparently, you never listened to bach's fugues.

Yonni (136 )
01 Oct 14 UTC

So, as someone with no sort of contextual understanding of the two choices, could someone ELI5 the differences in their impact?

dipplayer2004 (1110 )

Beethoven called Bach "the father of Harmony."

Need a Substitute Player

One player in a game has gone MIA and the balance is completely thrown off without him playing. If anybody wants to take over England in this game: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=147466&msgCountryID=0 then please let me know so I can get the admin to swap you in. It is a 7 day phase game with a cheap buy in so there isn't a huge commitment but it would help the game and England is not in a bad spot anyway.

Ham/CB Radio in Car

I'm thinking of getting a radio for my car, probably starting off with CB and then maybe upgrading to Ham. I'd imagine there is an overlap between Diplomacy and Ham radio, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any thoughts.

Webdiplomacy Tournament

We have nearly filled all 3 boards with official players. I currently have two players on stand-by incase we can't fill the boards. Hellenic Riot has agreed to join if we get to 20 which is just 2 players away. Surely we have 2 players that would like to donate $10 and join this unprecedented online tournament format!

Welcome Back, NHL Hockey! Who Makes the Playoffs, and Who Hoists the Cup?

The Good Old Hockey Game is back again! :) The (grrr) defending Stanley Cup Champion Kings look amazing...my beloved Anaheim Ducks upgraded, and look to make another run, as the Blackhawks, Blues, Avs and Wild are all on the rise in the Wild Wild West. The Bruins and Canadiens still look great, the Rangers look to rebound, the Pens and Caps look to rebound as well...who makes the playoffs, and come June, which Captain gets to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup? :D

Draw or Cancel?

I thought it might be interesting to get peoples thoughts on 'fairness' in a situation where one or more players fail to fight to the bitter end because - neither a draw or a cancel usually seems fair.

Call Out for Fill-Ins

Alright, while there's still time to sign up, today is the last day, and I get the impression that who we have is going to be "it". This is a call to those in the forum that want to play in the tournament but don't want the buy-in. This is a low-committment committing to only the round which you sign up for. We need 5 players that want to start this round to fill boards. I will take the 5 players with the highest reliability ratings.

NFL Pick 'em Week 6: Who's For Real?

Week 6 has already seen Andrew Luck and the Colts pop the Texans' bubble...it also features a match-up between the surprising Bills and the surprisingly-inconsistent Patriots. The Cowboys roll into Seattle red-hot to take on the Seahawks in their house of pain. The Panthers and Bengals square off to see who's for real and who's in trouble, and the same goes for the Bears/Falcons and Giants/Eagles game. Week 6...Pick 'em!
