Minor Car Trouble
So, I've been having a little trouble with my car and I'm trying to fix it myself without going to a shop. So far, my attempts haven't been successful and my internet searches have been less than helpful. I thought someone here may be able to give me some tips. Details inside.

The Top 10 Most Important Battles of All-Time
Pretty self-explanatory...if you want to try and rank your picks, bonus points.
I WILL give one caveat--all of my picks ARE slanted towards the West, that's just my bias...don't know enough Eastern Theatre battles to really include many, and those that do make my list are because the West drove back the East...so you can include Eastern battles--please do!--but I don't known them, so can't include them. Let the War of the Words begin! :)

The Failure of European Socialism
We are living in historic times. Right before our eyes the failed model of European socialism is collapsing. The only question is what will exist in its ruins? The senseless youth violence in England, and the self-pitying protests of you Frenchmen do not bode well for the continents decaying culture.

The 47% Game
See below
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
03 Nov 11 UTC
I am looking for another game. I'm conscious that my that last suggestion of a top 50 Ghost Ranking game left some good players out. But I also want a game with good players.

So I've come up with a criteria that brings Jredwood into the game, if he still wants to play. That is a minimum of a 47% combined Win/Draw and no resigns in anything other than a live game.

Other than that:
Full Press Classic, WTA, Anon, 101 D, first 7 players to reply who meet the criteria are included, you will not be pushed off the list, with a place held for Jredwood, who I will PM as well
Jredwood (2159 D)

oo..
I'm in :)
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
04 Nov 11 UTC
I actually have a 47% rate, so can be in. Hold me a spot please, but i may not be able to join because of busyness over the next few weeks and the sheer multitude of games im already in.

martinck1 (4464 D(S))

@ Jredwood - great you're up for this game, it was designed for you.
@ Diplomat33 - I'm also pleased you can make this game, especially as I couldn't play in your game. You've a great record.
@ Santa - thanks for the offer, what's the story with the 5 resigns? Are they all live games?

BTW, I'm suggesting 48 hour phases. Any more?
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
04 Nov 11 UTC
I think points should be a bit less, case its over half of mine. MAybe down to 20 or 25. Id play for sure if that was the case. But since there is a slight chance busyness might cause a NMR (5% or less) i dont feel comforatable betting that many points with a chance they might all go away on a missed move.
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
04 Nov 11 UTC
This might not be the game for you then Diplomat33. The whole point of a decent points total is to encourage people not to NMR. The problem with even one NMR is they can unbalance the game for everyone. Resigns are obviously even worse.
Maniac (189 D(B))
04 Nov 11 UTC
I'm a 40% player with 199 finishes and no resigns so if you're struggling to fill the game up count me in.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
04 Nov 11 UTC
I said i wouldn't likely NMR, but the lower points total would still be good.
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
04 Nov 11 UTC
@Maniac - thanks for the offer. I'm fairly relaxed about the 47% , as long as the other players are. I was really looking for a mechanism to get good players in. Shall we see how it goes over the next couple of days.
@Diplomat - I'm trying to find good players, who also have time to write. I want to stick to the 101 D to encourage that. You're welcome to join, after all you come well over the 47%. But if you don't have time, probably not for you.

You're France in S01 and Italy moves to Piedmont while Marseilles moved to Spain and Paris to Picardy along with Brest-MAO. Barring any real diplomacy that has gone on, are you more likely to return to Marseilles in the fall assuming Italy will attack it, or list a hold order assuming a bluff?
