Utopia
Thomas Moore's book (which I am about to start reading) represents what is in his view, a Utopian society. Given this book was written almost 500 years ago, there is no doubt that Moore's ideas are outdated and maybe in some case perceived as unethical in our society.

Sp, my question for all would be, say you were the author of Utopia, what would be the setting of your book?

If you are one of those total nutjobs that is so far out of touch with any molecule of reality that you are a 9-11 truther then I would recommend you not clicking on the link I provide because the article totally demolishes your fantasies.

Iceland...
Iceland is not in its proper position on the WebDiplomacy map (meaning that it is not that close to England in actuality), so why would it even be included on the map if it serves no other purpose. WHY IS IT THERE?

Annoying Player Help
A friend of mine playing web diplomacy told me he had a player called King Atom in his game, but feels the player is very annoying and wants help dealing with the problem. Is there any way to kick a player out of a game or block them from joining a public game for future reference.

Games paused?
I may have missed the thread on this, but is there any way for a mod to now unpause the games that have been put on pause since the glitch has happened at least 24 hours ago? In world games where there are a fair few who have already CDed, it would be great to get moving!

I swear I run a shelter for battered kittens IRL
A lot of people who are asshats online use the excuse that IRL they are real good people. Why is this considered a valid excuse? Is it because of the perceived anonymity of the web, like road rage? If you wouldn't call someone a faggot IRL, why would you do it here?

Sins of a Solar Empire
This could be the best RTS I've ever played. It's like a wonderful mix of Ascendancy, EVE, Homeworld, and Supreme Commander. Still need to play some more to see if it's my number one, but it looks promising. Anyone else play this?

Guessing game
So I got home from one social event, few beers were unlucky enough to meet my stomach and so on. Then I got hungry and fried me 7 late-night eggs. The problem was I forgot I wasn't supposed to feed the whole family as usually but only myself, yet I used the same amount of oil and butter. The eggs literally swam in grease. Of course I ate them, I'm a pig/scrooge, but what will my intestines say? To find out whether there is any consensus on this complicated subject, I propose a guessing game.

How common is soloing without backstabbing?
I've been in the endgame a few times with a strong position, but I hate the idea of turning on someone I've been working with since turn 1. It just... it's a terrible bad vibe, y'know? You have a good time playing together for a couple hours, coordinating, etc, I don't want to stab after that.

Other players might make poor tactical moves or fight at bad times, but how common is solo-winning based on that? Are people who try to not stab their allies consigned to lots of draws?

First Solo
Just wanted everybody to know i have just won my first game here. I'm happy and was actually thinking of doing an AAR, but perhaps that is going just a tad too far? I don't know, is that the done thing? You tell me.
Oh, game ID#66745.
Was a close run thing for a little while, bugger England hit me hard, but luckily didn't land the knock-out punch. He's licking his wounds now.

If I EVER were to fall for a woman, it'd HAVE to be the smartest, wittiest, most unique gal I could find...even if she had a beard or third eye.
Just curious, since we have a lot of married me--careful what you say!--and bachelors...am I the only one who'd put brain-size over...?
