Why was Landowner banned?
He wasnt a multi. He wasn't a meta since he never played a game. And what does "invalid email" mean? He spoke on the forum about responding to emails...what is the policy for banning someone based on not checking emails? If you go on vacation for a week and don't check, does that result in getting banned?

Threads/Replys are very wrong
I was looking at someone's profile a while ago to see what they had posted about a subject and it seems that the threads/replys on our profiles are missing threads from the past month. Am I seeing this wrong, or is there some problem here?

Thanks guys, I've read the feedback and appreciate all those who put forward a genuine opinion. I think some of the most sensible responses are those asking for more details about exactly what they plan to do with the data.
I've written back asking for specifics (ideally the actual proposal) and we'll decide how to move forward depending on how convincing it is

Draug, a troll doesn't give a shit what people think. Therefore he doesn't need to say, "no guys, it's alright, I'm not actually this much of a dumbass." That more suggests anger issues and an inferiority complex. I suggest you embrace the fact that you are worse than everyone else and move on with your life.

Someone better at math might correct me here, but the researcher should know what sample size is adequate for testing his hypothesis. "Everything you can give me" is nice, but there's an amount that's adequate, and that would help decide how many years to hand over.

Bottom line is Kestas is a good bloke and we should support him and trust his judgement, not everyone can get everything right all of the time. If he were in any doubt this was a bad thing I've no doubt he wouldn't do it...... when good people and friends come asking for your support there is only one answer.

I know, abge. :-) I should have put a smiley after it.

Phil, see above that abge more or less confirms he did get said PM and was just giving me a hard time.

But I will apologize to you here and now. I took my trolling a little (ok a *lot*) to far the other evening. I treated you like shit and for that I am sorry. There is no excuse for the disrespect I showed you, the mods, and the community.

Hey guys its me again.
I come here with a question. There is in fact a personal story behind this question, but I'm sure you are all tired of hearing my personal stories, so I won't go into that unless people want me to. Anyway, my question is this: Is listening to music on Youtube morally/ethically equivalent to watching pirated movies or bootlegs? If not, what is the difference? Assume that neither the music nor the movie is owned in any other medium.

Of Warp Cores and Insurgents--Trek 12 and the Post 9/11 Aesthetic
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/9-11-looms-large-over-star-trek-darkness-211915647.html
Interesting article about the allegories in the film...those that have seen it--agree, disagree (I very much agree, and felt it was very much in the Trek tradition of tackling topical issues) or what...but as a side note...is anyone tired of the terrorist/9-11 Aesthetic in TV and film, or feels it's being exploited too much?

Global Warming "Slowdown" since 1998

To summarize: "Global warming hasn't happened since 1998....but despite any real evidence and openly acknowledging we don't understand the climate, we still insist we are right and that there is global warming and you should all be scared. Can we keep our funding now???"

http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/theghost-ratingslist/ghost-ratings-by-category

The peak ratings no longer show anyone whose peak is not over 100.0. And less detail is available on both the peak and monthly lists so it may be more easily loaded. I'm working on being able to have the details as a separate page.

OK, Let's Try This AGAIN...A Game of English-Language Variants...
I've tried to start this game 3 times now or so, let's make it happen this time--again, the premise is simple: global chat, everyone picks a form of English (ex. I'm using Elizabethan English...some people have wanted to use Nasdat, Rastafarian, Middle English, Southern US English, etc.)...so, indicate interest below and I'll send you the password, my last finals are tomorrow and I want this to be my return game after my short semi-hiatus from the site...let's go!

Gunboat to introduce new players to site
I introduced several friends to Webdiplomacy, through a full-press game. Several players (five!) indicated they want to play another gunboat game on the side to get the hang of the site. They're reasonably experienced, so we're looking for two reasonable other players to give some staunch opposition.
