Turkish Opening and Mid-Game Tips
This is the kind of thread where, frankly, I am stuck. I need some ideas on how to survive, thrive and keep chugging forward as Turkey from Spring 1902 to the mid-game (whenever that might be). Thanks in advance for replying.

Cancelled their health insurance nationwide. All opted out of the deadlines. The IRS would be backlogged with fines and paperwork for 36 years. Thats how you could get rid of Obamacare if everyone really wanted too.

Let's all work together...
So I had an idea we could maybe, as a community, do a vDip crossover tournament; or even just make games on vDip and advertise them over here.... it would help both our sites. Maybe we could start by posting any vDip game links here of games we are trying to start

An expansion of Conceal and Carry Laws
I dont see why I should be shunned for towing around my katyusha rocket launcher as long as there is a blanket covering it. Isnt this still conceal and carry? It should be within my 2nd Amendment rights to have a bazooka that fires mini nukes as well.

Security Software
The free period of Norton Security that came with my laptop will end in seven days. My question: what's the best thing to do next? I could stick with Norton for €10 for the first year or I could pick something different.
I'm willing to pay €10, but I don't have a clue what's good and what's bad so if there's something better or equally good for free or the same price, I'd love to hear. I want to know the best option, basically.

If you're going to pay for an antivirus then don't go anywhere near Norton. Just get Kaspersky and be done with it.

If you want a free antivirus, then go for AVG Free, or avast.

Kaspersky is obviously better than either, but how many dodgy websites do you look at, and how much downloading from unconfirmed vendors do you do?

Don't pay for antivirus for personal use imo. The free versions are more than enough. I'm using Avira ('Luke Filewalker' ftw :P), don't have any problems with it yet. Might uninstall it though as I don't need it. If you know what you're doing on the Internet you're relatively safe.

No antivirus can save you from unsafe browsing habits. Personally I believed hat Windows Defender is as good as any.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
07 Jan 16 UTC
I have Windows 10. So what you're saying is that I don't really need anything extra, since Windows Defender is automatically working if I'm not mistaken?
Gonnor (149 D)
07 Jan 16 UTC
don't use windows defender, all what i read about it is that it needs more resources than other antivirus programs.
Windows firewall is good.

Other programs I recommend is anti malwarebytes and ccleaner.

Unless you have a potato, that little bit of extra RAM is irrelevant.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
07 Jan 16 UTC
I must agree that the little bit of extra RAM doesn't bother me much. I'd have to install extra programs otherwise.

Also I can be sure it updates automatically and doesn't clash with Windows stuff, presumably.

I wouldn't know whether *just* Windows Defender is enough though.

Porn won't be a problem.

Also, my laptop for personal use is technically for work as well, but there shouldn't be sensitive information on it anytime soon, so I guess that's not a problem.

Do pseudonyms harm the hobby? An interesting letter in Diplomacy World.
I was reading through the most recent edition of Diplomacy World when I came across the following letter (see the post below). Having only just started to play in proper FTF games, it's not something that had really occurred to me before.

Does using a pseudonym take an important element out of the game? I'd be most interested to hear the opinions of those who are/were involved in FTF scenes, although anyone is welcome to comment.
