Just saw this.. very, very disturbing.. He was concerned enough about it to set up a camera in his room and write to the NHS about it, he was aware what was happening as it got turned off, and he got severely brain damaged..

Dear Life Admiral,

While I don't particularly have a problem with the commentating, some reasonable concerns have been raised. However, now that *you've* chosen to weight in, all my concerns have vanished! After all, with your vast experience on this site, coupled with your stunning statistics that make me cry in shame at my own sad and pathetic figures, I know - KNOW - that you are just the person to lead us when it comes to determining when something might affect game balance.

Please, feel free to share more of your vast experience with us, sir. What other suggestions do you have? I await your insight with relish, parsing every word for the subtle nuances that will make me a better Diplomacy player - and a better human being.

Would you be willing... no, I cannot ask such a boon, for it would be foolish for a n00b such as myself to request your assistance when I am facing challenges in a game. I will just observe your greatness, and use your example to find the answers myself - and if they are not the ideal ones that you would have selected, that's all part of the learning process.

I am, once again, humbled by your words, and look forward to what else you may be willing to share with us.....

...MORON

the whole fucking game is thrown. there is a western triple, and since the whole public press thing is BYPASSED by the assholes that know who everyone is, we need to cancel it and fucking start again, with no bullshit about guessing who is whom.

You're whining like a child because your diplomatic skills bite and your 'ally' is doing an excellent job of getting people annoyed at both of you - but you're easier to get to.

If you have reason to suspect out-of-game private collusion, by all means notify a mod and they will investigate - but 'I dont like that people are attacking me' isnt private collusion

that's not what i said. the crux of my point is: some of the players know who all of the other players are. others who aren't familiar with all the members of the community don't. they can use this to collude outside of the game, which is unfair. since i don't know it's not happening, i have to assume that it is.

omgwhathappened - I doubt there is any outside collusion going on. Let's just continue this game and you and I will kick ass and coordinate our moves in game. Seriously dude, I know most of these fuckwits. As stupid as they are, they are at lest honest in their stupidity.

so we're cheating unless we prove we're not? uh uh, jackass, the burden of proof is you to prove your point, not the other way around. Prove you don't wear your mother's undies to bed every night - if you can't prove it, I have to assume it's true.

23 Oct 10 UTC
yes, you are cheating unless i know you're not. you have access to an unfair advantage, and it's going to take more than your word to make me think otherwise.

I accuse Russia of hacking Turkey's and Italy's account and entering bad moves - not because I have any reasonable suspicion this is true, but because if he can't prove it isn't so, it must be so. Mods, ban him now!
IT'S TRUE! I WOULD NEVER ATTACK MUNICH
ava2790 (232 D(S))
23 Oct 10 UTC
Draugnar, there needs to be some consistency in your arguments. Excluding the Agent K case, every time something doesn't go your way you cry metagaming. I have been accused by you of metagaming in anonymous games with you twice now. The last time, of course, you didn't know it was me and we cancelled. Now you cry no metagaming. I'm a little surprised to be honest. I'm tired of you proclaiming to be the supreme judicial authority on these things. Getting one metagaming call right (Agent K - and that's a big maybe, too) out of a dozen doesn't really justify your paranoia. It's like saying you're a great soccer player when only one out of a dozen kicks gets past the keeper. That's it. This isn't personal, Draugnar. I'm just putting my two cents out there.
stratagos (3269 D(S))
23 Oct 10 UTC
note: while it should be pretty obvious who I am at this point, I only know who Austria and Italy are because they announced it, and Russia because he's a goddam idiot. I still dont know who anyone else is, nor do I care - but feel free, mods, to verify this

I think that we need the ability to designate up to three people as morons, and have the system send us a message before we join -'Are you sure you want to join? There's a moron playing" or "A moron has just joined your game; do you wish to leave before it starts?"

I mean, seriously, this is about the weakest of weak sauce that I've ever seen. I'd assume he was just being in character if the theme was 'jackass' instead of 'rage'

hypothetically: e's identity is known. f and g's are not, but it doesn't matter, because they can msg e. my point isn't that people ARE cheating, it's that once identities are known in an anon public press game, pandora's box is open and the game is thrown.

whether or not i wear my mother's underwear doesn't give me an unfair advantage in the game so your analogy, like your dick, doesn't work.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
23 Oct 10 UTC
Wow you are worse than Draugnar. And Draugnar is a person who throws his identity out in anon games first and THEN accuses others of metagaming.
stratagos (3269 D(S))
23 Oct 10 UTC
You fucking idiot.

First off, you didn't say 'I have concerns about potential cheating', you said there *was* cheating.

Second, the only reason my identity was revealed was that I responded to your inital accusations. So you can't use the fact that my identity is now revealed to justify your inital accusations.

You were full of shit, and you've been called on it. Man up, apoligoze, and take the pending loss of your centers like a man instead of a sniveling child.
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Oct 10 UTC
Ava, when have I entered a formal complaint or posted in the forum an accusation of metagaming against you? Hell, I don't recall ever seriously accusing anyone of metagamin and I didn't accuse Agent K, someone else did (subtly) so I chimed in with a much less ubtle tongue-in-cheek accusation. Get a fucking sense of humor dude!

That said, I would play anyone her *except* Agent K any day, but he was previously banned and came back *without* explicit permission from the mods so I won't play him on pricipal. If you took an in-game accusation seriously, my apologies. My persona in-game is to be reactionary extremist/chicken little/boy who cried wolf (Peter). The goal is to direct the reaction as I have done in this game so I control what my opponents do and they don't even realize it.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
23 Oct 10 UTC
Draugnar, that's like saying that you'll yell at me in public for "touching your wife" when I did no such thing, but since neither of you filed a formal harassment complaint, it's ok.
