We need a replacement because of a ban - world game
Hey all! We need a replacement because of a CD, banned player (not a cheater) in a pretty awesome world game with very good players (not me ;) ). The country we need replaced is the USA and he is in a very good position, the game is in autumn 2002 retreat phase.

An excuse to avoid studying
I'm in need of one, and finally have enough spare time to play on this site again. So time for a comeback game. Classic, WTA. Medium pot (for me, so between 50-150). Phase length can be decided but preferably between 1-2 days.
Anyone up for it?

High replacement bets
Hi
Somewhat new to this site. I've helped put as a replacement elsewhere and would not be against doing so here but I get turned off with what seems to me to an inappropiately high bet for terrible positions. I assume there are difficulties making this better. Thoughts?

Capitalism and D's
I like the connection. The richer (and better Diplomacy players) get richer, while the poorer (and worse Diplomacy players) get poorer. Maybe, after all, D's IS the best ranking system?
What about the re-stocking of 100 D when someone is down to nothing? Is that welfare? Bankruptcy? There's no inheritance system for Ds.

@Hanged ... 100 point restocks = Debt forgiveness -- every seven or 15 or 50 year cycles, the Mesopotamian/Judaic "Year of Jubilee" (still observed by the Catholic prelates with ceremonies, but don't know about the Vatican Bank's banknotes).

This would only work if the best games had the highest points, which certainly isn't the case.

@The Hanged Man
Re-stocking of 100 is creation of wealth :)

@abgemacht

I think there is a good correlation between the size of pot and the quality of the game, otherwise it would not be regularly used as a screening parameter.
Gobbledydook (1389 D(B))
14 Dec 11 UTC
No, restocking of 100 is welfare.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
14 Dec 11 UTC
It isn't, because it is not being taken from someone else, but created (out of the thin air ;) )
Indybroughton (3407 D(G))

Bask, your argument that better players have more $ is refuted by your own paltry bank account.

(actually, I agree with the correlation in general, but I think GR is a better indicater)

If someone does a +1 on the right after your post in the thread, then you get a "liked."

our biggest problem is how the game subsidizes the poor players, cause they keep getting restocked.

The fact is this allows them to play in more high stake games then they should be allowed to inflating both their scores and the scores of the richer.
patizcool (100 D)
15 Dec 11 UTC
If a player runs out of points, they should be placed in a job (read diplomacy) training center in order to earn their 100 point boost.
Haha, I thought Indy meant the blue +1 as opposed to the grey (+1). Everyone has a blue +1 after their name (except yourself, from your view) but not everyone has a grey (+1).

If it was a true capitalist system people would pay others to play the games and then funnel all the money to the payer minus a small contribution to the person who did the work.

@Bask

I disagree.

All the Tournaments and Leagues are low pot. Surely you agree those are higher-than-average quality.

Also, a lot of GR Challenge games are low-med sized pots.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
15 Dec 11 UTC
Since tournaments and leagues are low pot and high prestige, you can call them trophy-wives. ;)
Fasces349 (0 DX)
15 Dec 11 UTC
Tournaments are what Bask said.

GR games do break the system though...

I guess GR is a government regulatory agency (cause he is a mod) that regulates something.

Turns out, world smartest people are Asians. Why would that be?
In one the numerous "political debate" threads haunting this forum, Fasces posted a list of countries by average IQ. The entire top 7 is Asian, and on 10 there is Mongolia (which is weird, because you never hear anything about Mongolia). Why do they score so well?

The game is for trolls and semi-trolls. It is anon and global chat so will be focused on humorously trolling on one another anonymously. Then in the end we find out who's whom.
