So..."Young Adult" Book Series...Why Must They Suck? (And Do They?)

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/teen-sci-fi-franchise-divergent-debuts-56m-160401665.html 1. Three chapters in, that book is (while better-written than Twilight) so face-palming stupid in its plot, premise and execution, I flung up my hands and gave into reading the (even worse) synopsis. 2. Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments, now Divergent...why? Why must "YA novels" (and I hate that term, but anyway) suck (THG being the best of that bad lot)...or do they suck? Any defenders?

Button Locations

Could we get the save and ready buttons further apart? Sometimes I have to use my phone to enter orders, and it's irritating how easy it is to accidentally hit ready.

"Russia is weak" says Coward Obama

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/obama-says-russia-is-regional-power-not-americas-top-geopolitical-foe/

Yeah...let's hope that China isn't so weak that they decide to take Taiwan once and for all, since the *weaker still* US leadership will do jack squat nothing to protect their ally...
What a fucking idiot. I hope Putin takes ALL of the Ukraine now! Asshole Obama...

What if Sweden had two coasts in Diplomacy?

Or, alternatively, what if Bulgaria had one coast?
What if we had a rule that navigable land provinces always split their neighbor's coastlines in two? What if we did the opposite and only split them when a full land province interrupted the coastline?
I'm not asking if it's right or wrong to do so (obviously the split coasts are there for realism). I'm asking, what would happen to Diplomacy if we did any of these things?

Shapiro-Stiglitz, involuntary unemployment

Hi guys, I thought the forum could be put to productive use and share with me all it knows about the Shapiro-Stiglitz model, its prediction of involuntary unemployment, and then also (either with respect to the model or in general), what will the effect of a fall of real unemployment benefits be on involuntary unemployment.

Carnage is close and worth the effort. I won't make it this year, but I've been three times in the past, most recently when it hosted DipCon in 2011. Used to be in Fairlee. Moved to the Killington Grand Resort last year.

I have never played live Diplomacy. I feel like it would be wierd, ackward and long. Not to mention resolving moves would be exhausting.
May be worth having Webdip on a screen just for move resolution :)

Killington is doable for a small overnight trip.

Transdniester region of Moldova wants to join Russia as well

Following the annexation of Crimea, some people in the Trans-Dniester region, who broke-away from Moldova in 1992 but haven't received much international recognition since then, are requesting to join Russia. Does anyone else find this hilarious?

A Very Broad Question - Conflict styles

The other night, our prof sent us a bonus mark homework question. It asks which of the 5 conflict management styles suit the topic the best. This doesn't sound very hard but he was Very vague in his post. The question was "apply a conflict management style to social and one to political." which seems broad. Any suggestions or shoves in the right direction?

What do you think about the Front national?

So, my dear fellow Europeans, and Americans, if you know, I dont know how well the American society is informed about national European politics, yesterday were local elections in France. It seems like the Front national has become the third strongest power after the Conservatives and the Socialists. Here in Germany, the Fn is referred to by the media as national and and right-wing extremist.

In a PPSC game, when it comes down to ,two countries against one, is there any reason to stick it to you ally if you think you can solo. The solo would come at your allies expense. Or, is that just being to much of a dick?
