Ranking should take into account etiquette, if possible

Seriously, people who are losing and decide to delay the rest of the game an hour by never confirming moves need to be given a ghost rating death penalty.

Hopefully a civil conversation based in logic... not simply "it's immoral" - but why? ...and why is it not something that a person can decide on their own? (see inside)

The Ideal Turkey

Everyone has an idea of how they like to see things play out in the first year or two when playing a country. It might be that when someone plays England, the ideal situation for them is a E/F over a E/G where England gets Belgium via convoy and Norway with a fleet capture, a Russian with 3 units in the south and Germany opening to Denmark.

Live Gunboat-169

Hello all, if you are playing in this game, there is a long ways until it is over and I have a job interview in about 45 minutes, would there be a possibility to draw this game out? We have been at it for over 2 hours now.

At the top of the charts when I was born was Exile - "Kiss You All Over". Never heard of it. After watching it on youtube, I am reminded of how fortunate I am that I was born late enough to have no memories of the '70s.

Song Number 1 in the US when i was born =Silver Convention - Fly Robin Fly

Never heard of the US number 1.

No. 1 in UK when I was born was "Look At That Girl" - Guy Mitchell. The day I was married Slade were No. 1 with "Merry Xmas Everybody"! The early '70s were very good years for me :-)

Justify My Love by Madonna...

Yonni (136 )

Haha, uclabb, that's fantastic. For me, the number 1 hit in Canada was Looking for a New Love by Jody watley. Just YouTubed it and it is god awful. Fucking 80s.

"Livin' on a Prayer" - Bon Jovi. God help me.

SacredDigits (102 )

Hey, don't front on 80's music...we didn't know any better back then.

Let's see...

According to wikipedia it was "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad. According to the site you have listed, it was "Half-Breed" by Cher. I prefer to listen to wikipedia (although, in this case, it is me cherrypicking wikipedia's info...Half-Breed is the actual #1). And those two are sandwiched between really spectacular songs, more's the shame.

UK number one was "Eye Level" by the Simon Park Orchestra. Little afraid to look that up.

SacredDigits (102 )
24 Jan 12 UTC

Hm, Eye Level isn't that bad. It's definitely orchestral pops.

The Aussie one was Can the Can by Suzi Quatro. That sounds even worse.

SacredDigits (102 )

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go was the first single I bought at the time it was released, Draug, so at least I had some mental capacity then (how much, since I was buying a Wham! single, is debatable).
