Looking for a sitter
I will be away all weekends from now on so I can't constantly ask for a 3 day pause. So I'm looking for a sitter.
I'm in two games. one wta game with high pot (700+D), in which I'm almost defeated and a C1 summer league game (doing well there).
Anyone interested?

Martial law in the deep south?
Rumor mill speculates a forcible evacuation from the gulf coast.
Normally I dismiss martial law rumors pretty quick, but given the toxicity of the water, beaches, and even air from texas to florida (some symptoms of corexit (sp) poisoning as far north as N carolina (unverified) I think this is a real possibility
What do you think?

The Tales Today That Will Be Classic Legends Tomorrow
We look into the past in the West and see a lot of heroes and stories and mythologies that still are important to us today. The Epic Of Gilgamesh. The Old Testament of Adam and Eve, David, Moses. The Iliad, Oddysey, and Aeneid. The Oedipus Cycle. The New Testament and The Story of Jesus. The Arthurian Legend. The Arabian Knights. Robin Hood. We have so many franchises and stories and sagas today- which ones will be/should be remembered and revered as classics in the centuries to come?

You have missed too many qualifiers in that last statement, killer. Your points shall help me propel me into the top 1%.

Your points shall really help me get up on the points total. I can't wait to steal your points

When on 30/7/2010? I have to set up a camper at Disney World for my wife and daughter. They are doing a girls' camping trip with moms and daughters from the dance school. I get to set up on the 30th and tear down on the 1st. It's an hour away so depending on the time, I'd like to increase my point total.

You want to lose your points killer? Even if you beat ava this large a game is going to attract high stakes players with plenty of points to spare.

Not me I'm trying to increase my points.

Why don't we start the game now, send out passwords to exactly seven people, make a list of those seven people and PM them the day before to remind them of the game. Or if that's too early I'll create the game a few days before the 30th.

Beware, killer, I'm playing ftf against some hardcore types (prize winners at DipCon etc) this month. I'll be sharp as a damn Samurai Sword.

Taylor and Obscurity seem fairly reliable. I wonder if Barn3tt, V+, etc. are interested, though I know that V+ is playing a lot of games already since I'm in some of them myself.

Obscurity (667 D)

I'm on a trip for a few days before the 30th (leaving on the 26th) so could it be started before then? it would be cool if the game was either around 3 PM (EST) or 9 PM EST.
killer135 (100 D)

it can't be anywhere between the 22 and 25 though
Obscurity (667 D)

Oh, I get back on the 30th, I'd just like the game to be created sooner!

Ummm how long do gunboats generally last when live? because I normally have practice from 5-9 pacific time, so early after noon like 3 est would be beast for me :)
Obscurity (667 D)
12 Jul 10 UTC
Often they last around 3 hours, but if this is gunboat and we agree to finalize quickly it should be faster

hmm... have not played gunboat in a while... but I'd be willing to go.

but 30th is a friday right? so I wont be off work till 5pm EST.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Science vs. Ethics: What's Wrong With
It's the tale as old as time, "scientific progress" vs. "what's right." On the one hand, we have stem cells and other such biological and engineering works that could potentially improve life for mankind drastically, cure diseases, make man stronger, more versatile...man can literally improve his design. But then you have the other side, and the powerful question, "Who are WE to play God and alter such things?" Should we be afraid of "playing God?" Is there a line? If so, what?

One of the main reasons why Republicans want to build a border fence is because of all the drugs illegal immigrants are bringing in, and when they do, they generally trample upon the land close to the border. (Continued)

Thoughts on Determinism.
I am a firm believer in hard determinism, and my beliefs in determinism (and cyclic universe theory) lead me to believe that god does not exist, not vice versa. I assume that there are quite a few people on this site that aren't determinists, so who is willing to argue with me?

How did you first learn about Diplomacy?
One of my History teachers in middle school had our whole class play it. I think we were making two moves a week or so, and his plan was to actually grade us on how well we did. I was Germany and was kicking ass... until someone snuck into the classroom one day after school was out and knocked over all the pieces. Our teacher hadn't written down the positions so the game just ended. It was lame, but some friends and I started playing on our own.
