Call me Cassandro - The Unpopular Nostradamus
As you all should know by now, I am the reincarnation of Nostradamus. I wrote it on the internet, so it must be true. So ask me your questions... but you probably won't like the answers I give.

High Communication Game
Hey all. Yesterday I completed a live game that had some of the best communication and gameplay (No CDs!!) that we've had in a long time. So, in that spirit, I'm starting a game with 1 day phases that is geared towards finding 7 players (only 5 more needed) who want to have lots of comm/no CDs. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the password to the game. Hope to see you all on the battlefield!

A WebDip Live-Play Tournament, Anyone?
Anyone up for the idea of a mass live-play tournament? I'm not sure how you'd do the progressions up the bracket, maybe taking a page from that World Cup (what do you know, it DID leave an impression) and have Groups and then after that be an elimination one...I don't know, but I jsut figure it could be fun as if it's live the games will only last a few hours each, and so maybe more will want to come in and we can have a big, brief, psuedo-face-to-face Torunament. Any takers?

Here is just fine, but the game postings keep timing out. Kind of hard to plan your moves and diplome when there is no diploming tool.

Anybody else agree?
I like playing regular games, 5 min 20 bet and no anon players. Why? Because it shows the last time they were on and if they are online. This makes it easier to attack players who arent there or C/D. In anon you have no idea if their waiting to put their orders in or C/D. Anybody else with me?

StarCraft II
Many moons ago, when Doom (the original) was still fresh in my memory, the RTS was born via Starcraft. Fantastic game. I went to the mall at midnight the other day (I'm unemployed...why not!) and introduced my children to true geekdom as I bought my copy of Starcraft II. I'm reconnecting with a buddy of 30+ years via this game. We drifted apart...and now have a common cause again! Any fans out there?

Bug Involving the game "may my hammer be mightyyyy"
In the game "may my hammer by mightyyyy (http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=34294&msgCountryID=3)", I ordered A-Lusitania-Gaul and A-Tarraco-Massilia. Rome carried out an attack on Tarroco (A-Gaul-Tarroco and A-Massilia-S-A-Gaul-Tarroco). A-Lusitania-Gaul did not cut A-Gaul-Tarroco for some reason. A-Gaul-Tarroco was therefore successful and my Tarroco army was dislodged (I retreated it to Saguntum). May this bug be fixed and have the units position as they should be?

If you had to, would you?
Basically, someone posts a situation, then the next poster says if they would do it and why, then post a new situation. I'll start. If a mad man killer held a gun to your head and told you you had to kill fifty people in one day or die, would you do it? If so, how? would you do it in style, machine gun in mall, or smart, sniper by countryside?
nnfolz (100 D)
25 Jul 10 UTC
Assuming i couldn't just tell him I would and then escape, yes I would. I would try to do it in the least painful and fastest way possible though (perhaps a bullet to the head).

if you had to kill your son or daughter or everyone else in the world would die, would you?
killer135 (100 D)
25 Jul 10 UTC
Depends, how would everyone else die? Painfully or peacefully?
nnfolz (100 D)
25 Jul 10 UTC
does it matter? it's basically ur offspring vs the rest of the world (everyone but the two of you)
killer135 (100 D)

I would drive my car off a cliff, kill us both as to not feel mental torture the rest of my life.
What would you do if you were sent to war against Russia, and had the task of killing any and all citizens for no reason at all?
nnfolz (100 D)
25 Jul 10 UTC
I wouldn't do it. i would probably try to expose whoever sent me on that mission.

Which dead loved one would you chose to spend an hour with if you could? Would you kill another person to get that hour?

centurion1 (1478 D)
25 Jul 10 UTC
No I wouldn't kill anyone but I would like to speak with either of my grandfathers.

Would you rather be raped by another man or have your testicles chopped off?
1) I'd agree to it and make the gunman my first victim, then stop.
2) I'd kill my offspring.
3) Considering I'm learning Russian... I would agree to it, move to Russia, and stay there. It would be dereliction of duty, but they wouldn't dare do anything about it.
4) My ex-girlfriend, and at the time I'd have killed for an hour without hesitation (not thinking rationally as I was), but now I wouldn't.
5) Testicles, though that's got to be one of the crappiest dilemmas to be stuck in.

Can't think of any that aren't the same old same old classic moral dilemmas.
1) I'd agree, snipe passerbyes from a house just outside of the main road by creating a roadblock to make them stop.
2) Hmm... Life would be boring without anyone else on Earth... So I choose offspring.
3) Thank god I took Russian as one of my many languages. Yes, I would kill Russian civilians.
4) My grandfather, and I would kill for any extra time for him.
5) I choose raped, and as he unzips to rape me, I would turn around kick him in the balls, and as he falls to the ground I would step on his throut until he is dead.

Okay, here is mine. Would you rather kill the one most dear to you (you are not allowed to kill yourself after or durring) or cause a nuclear war that results in the death of millions of civilians, the erradication of China completely, and resets human technology to scavanging from prewar materials?
centurion1 (1478 D)
26 Jul 10 UTC
That's a cheap answer for rape question. No more loopholes anyone.

Id kill my dearest one if I was sure I couldn't save them for the good of mankind
svenson (101 D)
26 Jul 10 UTC
I think now I'd say I'd kill my dearest one having a logical clear mind but when the time actually came around I think i would be totally different.

Would you allow you partner to sleep with someone else if they gave you both $1 million for it? (fairly classic question)
killer135 (100 D)
26 Jul 10 UTC
yep, but once I got the money i would kill them both.
Would you kill yourself if you knew it would save all your loved ones?
svenson (101 D)
26 Jul 10 UTC
yes. I would.

okay on a different subject to killing people.... (also i wonder if anyone will get this reference)

If you were abducted by aliens and taken to their homeworld on their spaceship. Would you rather be put into a Zoo or a Circus?
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Jul 10 UTC
Zoo. They are typically done to resemble the creatures natural habitat so presumably I'd have cable TV, broadband, and my laptop so I could post here and play my Dip games. Wait a minute... Why are those strange looking creatures looking through that glass at me?

Would you rather bike 100 miles (165K) or run 10 miles?
spyman (424 D(G))
26 Jul 10 UTC
@svenson, Slaughterhouse-Five?
spyman (424 D(G))
26 Jul 10 UTC
I think I would choose the bike ride (can't say either option appeals to me though).
Would you rather win the Nobel Peace Prize, or the Nobel Prize for Physics?
spyman (424 D(G))

Drown.

Would you rather go 36 hours without any liquids(not even foods with liquids in them) or 5 days without any calories at all(you can have water).
drown

Would you rather toungue kiss someone from your own gender, or the ugliest and fattest member of the opposite gender in the world?
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Jul 10 UTC
@Panthers - live on water. I could use the weight loss.

Would you rather be a vegetarian forced to eat meat, or be a heterosexual male forced to "eat meat"?
6) I would set off the bomb and scavenge.
7) If my significant other were willing, sure. Not going to force them, I ain't a pimp =P
8) If that were my only option, yes, but I have to ask (a) from what am I saving my loved ones and (b) why is there no other way?
9) I missed the reference, but presuming the alien doctors would operate on me like our doctors would -- and wouldn't work like a vet -- then the zoo sounds preferable. Circus could be some fun shit, though, I've always been told I should join the circus >_>
10) Run. For some reason, bike rides that aren't gravity tours don't really appeal to me much... the whole motion is too unnatural.
11) I'll take either prize. I like this dilemma. =P
12) Drown and it's not even close. The mental trauma from drowning is chump change compared to the physical pain of immolation or torture.
13) 5 days with just water.
14) Ugly female.
15) Vegetarian forced to eat meat and it's not even close...

I should really contribute a non-generic dilemma.
svenson (101 D)
27 Jul 10 UTC
@spyman & eden: It's a question asked by Jerry to George on Seinfield :P

as bad as this sounds i think... a heterosexual male... i REALLY enjoy eating meat and if I was a vegetarian I couldn't enjoy it. also i really disapprove of vegetarians
Ah, nice reference.

Er... you know what? To each his own. Not going to ask. >_>

Maniac (184 D(B))

If you were Felipe Massa would you pull over to let Fernando Alonso win a race?

The eating meat dilema is interesting; say you held a gun to a vegetarian's head and gave them the choice - eat meat or blow me? If they blew you would it be sexual assault as well as other crimes that may be on the charge sheet?
That would be aggravated rape -- had a case in NOLA/BR where a woman got in what looked like (but wasn't) a taxi, and she was forced at knifepoint to blow the criminal. The charge was aggravated rape. (And while I don't know for sure, I'm fairly certain that the choice is immaterial to the rap sheet.)

"would you rather get anal raped by a homo or shoot him, which somehow causes a huge explosion killing 2 innocent bystanders , and serving 2 life sentences in prison?"

I'd go for ten minutes of pain and shame rather than a lifetime of imprisonment... add in responsibility for the deaths of three others... wtf? Was this supposed to be a real dilemma? Straight people need to get their priorities straight.

-----

Would you rather live two hundred years in a jail cell, or twenty years of freedom?
16) I can't even conceive of a situation where that would happen. I'd shoot to kill, not blow anything up, and be fine... or... if that did happen, there's no way you get two life sentences. If that *has* to be the choice I might rather the assault... but there's no way that would happen so... yeah.
17) 20 years of freedom. Living forever is meaningless without something to live for.

"17) 20 years of freedom. Living forever is meaningless without something to live for."

Would you rather give up one person you love or never be able to play Diplomacy ever again?
18) Never play diplomacy again, unless the person I love is old and will die soon anyway.
Eh. I've tried to keep up with these, but I really am not in the mood for that one. =|
Would you rather punch a woman in the face, who might sue you for it, or punch a really muscular guy in the face, who might beat you up for it?
19) The former, for sure, probably because I have someone in mind. >:D
