This is what I call a great result ..... I wish that were all of them but I can't help thinking there may be thousands more.
Anyway it's a bit like Gove being sacked ..... a good start !!

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.

Essay writing tips
We had fiction, so non-fiction now. Sometimes I really struggle to maintain structure for 10-15,000 words and ramble off in another direction. How do you write a clear concise essay?

Maybe I'm being over sensitive...
But there seems to be a fair bit of misogyny in some posts. All in jest, but still, some posts that are misogynistic in nature. I'm curious as to whether there would be so many if there were more women on the site.

English Writing Skills Thread
Discuss skills that help you write good prose and poetry.

I'll start:
If you are trying to write an argumentative piece, it helps a lot to be concise. A long-winded piece that just says the same thing in ten different ways just leads readers astray.

Sandbox
I used to play on an online diplomacy site that had a sandbox. Is it possible to get one on this site, even if just for classic. I looked on the todo list and saw nothing in reference to it.

Obiwan where are you?!
I just finished watching Joss Whedon's production of Much Ado About Nothing and wanted to learn if you had seen it and what your impression was if you had. I quite enjoyed it and felt it was, at the least, comparable to Branagh's version.

There is a case going on in the UK about whether our surveillance service have broken any laws. As they can't confirm or deny what they have done the case is proceeding based on "agreed hypothetical facts". Is this bending the language too far?

We just played a game. Al was Italy. Throughout the game, Austria, Turkey, Russia, and Germany all CD'd, putting him a winning position, which France and myself (England) stopped, and when I called him on being a scumbag for trying to win, he says I hate.
ILN (100 D)
07 Jul 14 UTC
Well, I know he hates hoity toity chicks. I think though, that his hatred stems from his deep desire to be a better diplomacy player, and the let down of him never fulfilling his dream of doing so.

I don't hate you. I think you're a scumbag who takes advantage of CD to try to win.
Al Swearengen (0 DX)
07 Jul 14 UTC
Chaqa I can confirm that I am both a scumbag, and that I attempt to take advantage of any irregularity of the playing field. You are of course correct on both counts.

I also happen to be a rather harmless old man.

Do you seriously wish to hold a grudge against me for what takes place during our games?
Al Swearengen (0 DX)

Besides, given the relentless attacks that you aimed at most of my opponents, couldn't you almost be thought of as an accomplice?

gameID=144291 for reference.

1901-02 or so: Austria CD

Then Russia has lots of internet troubles, misses lots of turns.

Turkey makes comeback. Turkey CDs. Italy takes advantage.

Germany also CD'd around here, France and I make desparate attempt to stalemate.

For the rest of us, it is a simple game. I hope that he can understand that I meant no offense, and just wish genuinely that Chaqa can learn to control his outbursts.

Al, stop making such a big deal out of this. I'm tired of getting messages from mods of you complaining about it.

But Chaqa, it isn't a big deal. When we meet at a conference, you would rather shoot me a glance askance, rather than accept the proffered hand of friendship? Shall you seriously decline the olive branch, Old Sport?
Chaqa (3971 D(B))

No olive branch needed. It's just that I'll continue to call you on it when you try to win / win through CD.

I am doing the same thing, taking advantage of CDs, doing every legal thing to win, but on the other hand I dont say anything bad when someone else takes solo because of CDs. Also, I spare someone when I feel like it and get less points for it.

I understand Chaga's opinion, but its really bad when he starts swearing Al or me or anybody. Diplomacy is a cruel game, its not about midages knights, honour and similar. Going for fairness in webdip games is wrong.

The Honorable President Eden and myself had a bit of a pow-wow last night, and I've been persuaded to suspend the outreach program temporarily.

I suppose then I have nothing further to say on the subject as long as nobody has any further questions.

Changing the subject, I think the lion's share of the policy is that many of the players here have trouble reading me, even when I think I'm being crystal clear.

I personally think that this has a lot to do with the fact that I was briefly very honest about my anti-feminist views.

What is it about anti-feminism that so challenges the intellects of young men? The lads here seem to find it comparatively easy to discuss other subject matter that I would think is much more controversial.

No, nor the overflow thread.

I have spoken to staff and there has been an agreement.

I am now choosing to revoke my 2008 vow not to troll.

This vow was made after shutting down numerous boards.

No one is going to throw down on me, I hope? Are there any that might bring it?
