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!

"Obi, why do you feel the need to compare *everything* to Shakespeare?"

Honestly, sometimes just because I myself get a kick out of seeing if and how I can do it, since I assume by now most people see me post and either 1. Are going to read, 2. Aren't going to read because they by now know they dislike me, or 3. Expect a Shakespeare reference in there somewhere...

If it were a serious discussion, maybe I'd have left it out, since I overuse the hell out of him...but, it's a post about music, so eh, why not, it'll amuse me for two seconds, and get either an eye roll or a witty knock on my post followed by +1s for everyone else.

So, everyone wins. :p

By the way, for the compare everything to Beatles thing, I really don't. The beatles were an early rock group that churned out a lot of music very fast, had some hits, and fell apart. Sort of like Creedence, and many others I could mention.

As for comparing everything to Shakey, it's because he's really famous, and has exactly the same position as the Beatles - well enough known to be an industry standard to those who don't pay that much attention, less obviously the best under scrutiny, but undeniably qualified nonetheless.

@phil, I'd buy that assessment if they had stopped making music after A Hard Day's Night. Their later albums were unbelievably innovative and just generally amazing.

LZ vs Beatles is an insult to the 60s/70s, really.

Speaking of which, did Brian Wilson/Beach Boys not even get nominated either?

Beatles win. Next up is Beethoven vs. what should be Jack White or any of the musicians in this group that were better than Daft Punk but is instead Daft Punk.

I know Sgt. Pepper.
I like Sgt. Pepper.
Sgt. Pepper is a friend of mine.

And you, Andy Gibb, are no Sgt. Pepper, and the Bee Gees ain't Billy Shears or the Lonely Hearts Club Band...

Anywho, Beethoven all the way.

Daft Punk, Beatles, Beethoven, Nirvana, interesting Final 4...
Daft Punk.

It's kind of ridiculous that someone like Beethoven is in this competition. I mean, he is really dated.

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!
