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.

Please. The evidence is across the forum, from your "my ex is talking to me again" thread to your moderator-locked thread on "ssorrenn vs DemonOverlord".

Idk why you all complain so much, it's not like this forum has anything even remotely amusing going on otherwise. It's pretty much just mafia and "where are my GR ratings" otherwise.

Where are my Ghost-Rating-Ratings?
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Jan 16 UTC
Its because in general they dislike Extroverts. They dislike that I am both an established public figure and an amusing individual. I have often been polarizing in this manner that I create humor, and satire and in general I CREATE. People dont like this, they tend to feel inadequate with their own character when compared with a crazy ginger.

I think this thread has an actual satirical purpose. People dismiss it because of who I am. Its not drivel, its funny. This forum needs more amusement and less boring types. Admittedly, at some point along the way I have overstepped my satire and have been a Spammer and a Troll. My post about you DO was unfortunate and I apologized.
This thread has nothing to do with any of that. So naturally I was a bit surprised that I was being harassed about it. Have a laugh people come on.

This website's full of intelligent humour.

This isn't funny (at least not to me et al), it is indeed drivel.

You're just using words. You use words and they are funny to you. e.g., "my katyusha rocket laucnher *hahahahahaha*."

There's nothing clever or funny about that really.

@brainbomb: You've been here 3 years and only received 56 likes, which is very low in relation to your post count -- and most of those likes seem to be on posts where you say you're going to be quiet.

I'm not having a go -- just pointing out that what you think you're doing might not be how everyone else sees it. Just like the 5 year old incessantly ringing all the doorbells in his neighbourhood then running away, every day, every night, every day, every night -- it's the height of humour to that kid I'm sure. I think you're more intelligent than that.

@Demon: I don't like the idea of muting/silencing anyone -- if you can defend brainbomb's right to post incessant drivel, I can equally have my right to reply to his incessant drivel. This is the first time I've said this, despite thinking it for the past 2 months of his recent participation spike on the website -- I'm hardly being egregious :)
DemonOverlord's casually blunt comments have been pretty clever and funny, lol.

I was reluctant to become a regular poster on this Forum. contemplated leaving this site because I felt perhaps my humor was out of place here, or maybe even offensive. I do not however think that I am an intolerable entity here. I also dont think I am meaning anyone harm.
I think I want to like it here.

I will admit alot of what I do is to ruffle feathers and have a bit of fun at peoples expense.
You do you braimbomb. And if your lack of likes is a problem I'll just give you some lol.

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.

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.
