I'm confused

I really don't have time for this, but I can't get it out of my head so maybe this helps.

New Variant Trials Finished

Even though it wasn't a actual tournament or anything and the games were originally 'wait for ready up' and that stopped halfway through leading to a lot of cds... i figured as they've all come to an end i would post the "results" anyway

even though there were a lot of cds and the play was often filled with nmrs on top of that, personally the Modern Diplomacy II Variant was easier to solo on than the Fall of the American Empire IV Variant.
Its very hard to get through Panama or go around the Arctic and so there is often a strong land based country and a strong fleet based country and no way for either of them to get a strong foothold.
Best position to be in personally:
Mexico and Russia

Build anywhere sure as hell makes it a lot easier to solo as well.

It also makes it easier to survive sometimes, as you can rebuild an empire "away from home" if you get pushed out. Definitely a totally different strategic dynamic.

KingRishard (1153 )
09 Oct 13 UTC

I agree, Russia is easily the best country to be on Modern. I was fairly partial to Peru in Fall. I would be interested in how press would change these results, as I'm not good at gunboat, so I was happy to come out a little ahead with the points I put in to play.

dr. octagonapus (210 )

i feel a bit bad having monopolised on quite a lot of cds

KingRishard (1153 )

Yeah, it looked like you performed the best out of anyone in the field.

I was trying to focus a bit more on 7 other classic gunboat games I was in :). Doc Oc has some serious gunboating skills though, there's no denying that. I've been incredibly impressed in every showdown we've had.

dr. octagonapus (210 )
11 Oct 13 UTC

we had quite a few

Orka (785 )

I have played quite a few of Modern, and Poland usually becomes a powerhouse. Judging by your playthroughs, perhaps the winner of Poland-Ukraine-Russia does well.

"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama

If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS

If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions

So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

was lincoln great for our elite?

bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

College Life

So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant

Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well
