I watched it a couple of days ago, after it was strongly recommended by a friend. There are quite a few films that espouse a very similar conspiracy theory. I am open minded but skeptical. Extraordinary claims requite extraordinary evidence.

This movie blew my world up...i dont know what to believe any more

I found that most of it lacked credibility. For example, the link between astrology, the bible and other ancient religions - a lot of that was made up by the film. You would hard pressed to find any credible academics backing up many of its claims. For example the Egyptian God Horus was the son of Isis - but he was not born of a virgin as stated in the film.
The trouble with conspiracy theories is which one do you believe - there are so many, and they can't all be right.

believe the one you can prove, or at least prove beyond a resonable doubt

Sicarius, I agree with you - go for the theory that seems the most credible. The trouble with a lot of conspiracy theories is that the lack of evidence is usually presented as further evidence of a conspiracy - "its all a cover-up".

Watched this. Like all conspiracy documentaries it was very convincing, but suffered from card-stacking-itis.

The first third kinda makes you think twice about all those generations of Europeans who passionately hated bankers, who just so happened to be Jewish (by and large). Shines a new light on anti-Jewishness, huh?

absolute rubbish, something a couple of first year uni students from harvard or oxford could do for a laugh!

the thing is too biased and that shows lack of confidence in the truth of the their thesis.

I wrote somewhat of a research paper on the "divinity" of jesus for my comp class, and most of the first part of the movie checks out...all in all though this got me to not be so succeptible to what authority figures tell us.

Please take a look at this book, you will find it amazing:

Traité d'athéologie : Physique de la métaphysique, Paris, Grasset, (2005); English translation by Jeremy Leggatt as Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism, and Islam (New York: Arcade Publishing, 2007)

About 8/11, you can take a look at Michael More film also.
But the most important thing is: don't belive the news, because news are made with "porpaganda". You can't trust the news.

Players with no centers remaining during build turn
I've been noticing that players who have had all of their centers taken in the previous year count as still existing during build turn; this is creating a few problems apart from the obvious delaying of the next turn. encountered this problem?

Witch Hunt
Do you fellow Diplomacy players feel that all these multi accounting accusations are creating a sort of Salem Style Witch Hunt? Or are all these accusations really valid? Have we crossed some sort of line here accusing too many innocent people? Should the admin's be more strict on banning accounts? What rules constitute 'legal' multi accounting versus 'illegal' multi accounting?

No Multi Accounting Here!
Hey all, just a change of pace from all the multi accounting witch hunts that have cropped up recently. They give the impression that it's a huge problem which requires precautionary banning or other drastic measures...

Playing in games with friends
What should the rules be? From the moderators perspective it's difficult to distinguish between friends playing in games together and multi-accounting, but there aren't any actual rules on friends playing in games together and this is a valid complaint from people who get banned for playing with friends.

Making a rule against pre-determined alliances is impossible to enforce, so how should this be handled?

Picking who you want to be
Is there anyway to pick which country you are going to represent other then having it randomly given to you before the game starts . for example i like to play as italy and turkey and hate to play as england is there anyway for me to make i sure i get to play as italy and turkey and not england... i'm sure everyone out there also has a preferred country

I can't log on with my new computer
If I click on any of the links on the home page I receive the message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '(' in /home/leapofhp/public_html/phpdiplomacy/header.php on line 132

I can log on with my old computer fine: they both work through the same router. And I do log out on the old one before trying on my new one.

Methax and his many accounts?
Can someone please look into the possibility that Methax is a multi-accounter? He along with Effward and Drekon have played exactly four games, all of them together, two of which ended in a draw. I suspect Nxdevera and Notoriety, at least, are also part of this (possibly one or more others). Log in times are right in line.

Late Game Expertise
One of my friends who I play with outside of the internet had a question he wanted me to ask that I couldn't really answer for him. He is an excellent early game strategist. He always does well through 3-4 years and then after that he really struggles. He was wondering if anyone had any tips for later in the game. Thanks

BlackFire has 2 proxies, Aries and LinkPhoenix. If they are separate entities, they don't behave that way. If you join a game with them, you're probably better off just getting out.
