What did you guys want to be when you grew up.

I'm not an adult yet, and I still am unsure about what job I want. I used the Holland personality codes, and I'm an IES, which suggests pharmacist, but that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Some other jobs it says I might be good at are physician, actuary, and training manager. Of those, actuary and training manager look the most intersting. But this isn't just about me. What dod you guys want to be when you grew up?

Disband instead of retreat

My understanding of the rules of the game were that you were allowed to simply disband a unit instead of retreating it. Is this also true of webdiplomacy? When the retreat round comes will my pull down menu offer a disband option?

Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?

If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!

She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

Purpose of "... 1 hours"

Does anyone know why we have to option to have phases that are "1 days, 1 hours" or "2 days, 1 hours"? I'm just curious why we have that option?

Corrupt a Wish

The first person makes a positive wish, and the next person plays the role of the djinn granting the wish, and then turning it into a disaster. The second person then makes the next wish, and the cycle repeats itself.

granted, me granting your wish is it's own ruiner. I wish that I didn't hit the deer or the moose

baumhaeuer (245 )

I granted your wish but ruined it by granting it.I wish i didn't hit the deer or/and the moose

jodabomb24 (100 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

Granted. You swerved out of the way of the deer, moose, and any other animals which may or may not have been standing behind the aforementioned moose. Unfortunately, after that, your steering locks and your brakes fail, so you go careening straight through the guard rail on the side of the road and fall down the 5000 foot cliff which was so conveniently hiding on the other side.

@joda, granted, your money saves the economy and you are praised a hero. But then they figure out that you robbed twenty banks to get the money and send you to jail for life.I wish i survived the fall from the cliff

Alderian (2425 )

Granted, Draugnar receives a monkey with a cleft pallet. Unfortunately, he goes broke paying for the necessary surgeries to repair the mutation.

I wish that people understood that a corrupt wish isn't just a wish that is granted and then followed by something bad, but that the wish is granted in such a way that the wisher wished they had never wished for it in the first place.

killer135 (100 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

granted, but no-one understands what you just said.I wish for a new car

Alderian (2425 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, you receive a new car, but the car dealership reports it missing and the police arrest you for grand theft auto since you clearly cannot show any proof of purchase.

I wish for whirled peas.

jodabomb24 (100 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but when said peas are whirled, they end up as mush and spray in your face. As a result, the neighborhood German Shepherd (who has unusual tastes for a dog) knocks you down to lick your face. You get a concussion.

jodabomb24 (100 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

I wish for Alderian to understand that sometimes, it's just more fun to do it the not strictly technically correct way.

dexter morgan (225 )

Granted - but it was a momentary flash of universal understanding... it has passed and he is now completely confused.

jodabomb24 (100 )
06 Jul 10 UTC

Granted, but the night became suddenly extremely cloudy, so you never saw a star, thus never being able to make a wish. :'(

I wish I had a fish that would eat all my enemies

jodabomb24 (100 )

Granted, but when you got mad at your parents later that day, the fish perceived them as enemies and ate them too.

ODaly (236 )

Granted, but because of your smugness, you invite your loved ones who all die while riding. I wish to win the Nobel Prize.

killer135 (100 )

granted, but the prize is for being bad at playing diplomacy. I wish my fish didn't eat my parents

Gobbledydook (1389 )

Granted, but it eats you instead. I wish I was out of debt.

A'holes leaving the game?

I just had a game where a person left the game for no apparent reason other than it looked like they may not win. This really throws off a game. First, how and why can a person do this? Second, is there a way to flag them or block them from games so they can't keep doing it to you?

Facebook diplomacy - any devs out there?

Hey, I'm a mod on the facebook app for diplomacy, but the person who set me up (and presumably has higher-level access) has gone incommunicado.

There are some problems with the forum and profiles and I wonder if the database needs a clear-out. Can anyone over here work on the facebook app, or is it totally stranded now?
