Presidential Pets
Nothing against Obama, but I don't find his choice of dog compelling. Portuguese Water Dog? Kind of prissy, don't you think? And Bo? It's not a good dog name. Buddy Clinton, the chocolate lab, now that's a dog. He could have kicked the crap out of Socks the cat, but he was just too damn chill.

WebDiplomacy Tutorial Quiz
This is an amazingly detailed set of quizzes set up by one of our top gunboat players, Rokakoma. I'd challenge everyone to try and figure them all out. Hopefully we can get some or all of these added to the site help eventually.

Discussion is "Bad For Science"
Weary of internet trolls hijacking every comment thread with ad hominems and political invective, Popular Science has eliminated comment functionality from all its online stories. Good idea?

retirement
Hello all, I am leaving this game as I haven't had time for it and really haven't been interested in playing given my current priorities in real life. I would like it if someone would take over the one game I am still in, as the other players don't deserve to have a player CD. Please message me if you are interested in taking over a standard message anon game with long phases.
Thanks and goodbye!

Going AWOL
Does the system keep track of how many times a person ditches a game and goes AWOL? I think that should be part of each player's stats. I know nobody likes losing, but I think if you signed up for a game then see it out to the end.

Things i think are missing in the site
I think it could be useful to have a search bar so we can search for specific information on tactics or strategies, etc.
The forum grows every day and i remember conversations wich is getting harder to find but can be of use.
also can be nice to have some record of who created each game, but i am not sure about it.

NFL Week 3: A Week of Teams in Early Turmoil--Redskins, Lions, Colts, 49ers, Steelers...
We kick off the week tonight with Andy Reid's return to Philly in a surprisingly-interesting Chiefs/Eagles match up. Then, Sunday, comes a host of playoff and contending teams with 1-1 or 0-2 records looking to right the ship. Lions and Redskins in a game both need...Colts and Niners in a game already-important for each team's division title hopes...the 0-2 Steelers and 2-0 Bears each with something to prove...who hits their stride, who stumbles--PICK 'EM!

The 6 Weirdest Things We've Learned Since 9/11
It's been a long time since I've liked an article enough to want to cut and paste it somewhere in it's entirety. But anyways, doing that would probably create copyright issues. So instead I'll just post the first paragraph, and then helpfully a link to the rest of the article. Hope you enjoy!

Article by David Wong

"Hey, guys -- I'm starting to think we overreacted to the terrorism thing.

It hit me last year as I was standing in the naked airport scanner again, listening to the faint gasps and then applause from the monitoring booth, and realized that I wouldn't put up with that hassle to ward off the threat of, say, lightning. You know, like if scientists had figured out that you could reduce the already miniscule chance of being struck by merely standing outside and showing God your dick.

Anyway, that made me look back at the lessons we've learned in the 12 years since the 9/11 attacks, and I've got to say, it's not encouraging. For instance, we found out that ..."

Something else to add to it, even questioning how this happened is enough now to classify you as a terrorist. At least according to the latest FBI circular sent out to police departments entitled "Possible Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related To Sleepers"

inside it is this gem
"Conspiracy theories about Westerners (i.e. the CIA arranged for 9/11 to legitimized the invasion of foreign lands)"

apparently the fbi does not know the difference between ie and eg but i had better not say anything or that might indicate that i am in a sleeper

I have to say I don't think much of it. Some of the 'weird facts' are just statements of the blindingly obvious and some are just plain wrong.

Most importantly of all, the Airplane sequel is not under appreciated. People think it's shite because it's shite! Poor show, Wong.

"One expert estimated we're spending about $400 million per life saved."

That's based on a number of dubious assumptions (such as a random estimate that security measures have only prevented 2,300 deaths) and an inflation of the amount spent on homeland security based on unknown "opportunity costs" and "inconvenience costs" which are not explained by Mueller & Stewart, as far as I can tell. Considering the article also credits the fact that law enforcement are doing well at tracking the black market sale of explosive devices for having made it "very very hard" to carry out an attack, I'm left quite confused by this article.

"apparently the fbi does not know the difference between ie and eg"

Actually they do know the difference.

http://www.columbuspolice.org/Units/TEW%20Info/recognizing_sleepers_word2007trifold.pdf

This is why you don't get information second-hand. Attitude indicators were only one set of indicators, by the way. I also note the irony of someone who never uses punctuation complaining about the FBI's (non) misuse of grammatical abbreviations.

@ blankflag: "even questioning how this happened is enough now to classify you as a terrorist"

No, it isn't. Read the document: "None of the listed actions... constitutes a criminal violation".
