WTA vs PPSC
A frequent debate on this site. I'm of the WTA camp as I disdain the "strong second" PPSC mentality.
It seems that the inventor of the game, Allan Calhamer shared this view, arguing that the WTA objective provided for much more interesting end game drama.

Need sub for triathlon
DILK has gone AWOL so we need someone to take over a FP and GB game. If we can't get one person to do both, then I'd be more than happy to find a different person to do each game.

Roman Legions vs. Mongol Hordes
To commemorate the 807th anniversary of the grand Quriltai which saw Temujin elected as Genghis Khan, I ask who would win a battle between a force of Mongols and a slightly larger force of Roman legions (for the sake of discussion, we will say from the late republic/early empire period) in a head-to-head matchup? Please discuss.

Is war between Russia and England more or less inevitable?
The Norway-StP corridor is very hard to DMZ. Perhaps conflict will always occur. I at least cannot think of a time in recent memory that they went the whole game without fighting (barring an early elimination of one or both).

Discouraging country based resigns thought...
Webdip uses a country weighting system where the more often you have been a country, the less a chance you have of being it again and vice versa. So how about use that to deal with people that abandon a game because they got a country they don't like?

Is it just because I'm in college or what?
Does anyone else have the experience that the time when gender issues and parity come most the fore is when a coed group of people goes partying together? Shit just happens and you have to make decisions based on that stuff more often than in normal life. At least I feel that way. Thoughts?

So has obiwanobiwan finally matured and can I take him off my mute list?
Obi need not answer. I won't see it. But does anyone else want to chime in with their opinion so I can decide if it is safe to take him off? I kind of miss his long winded posts, but he got so over the top with his youthful insistence he knew everything I had to mute him or kill him before his 21st birthday, and I thought the former was the better option.

I went to a museum today. Outside the museum there was an upright piano sitting on the sidewalk, with a sign taped to it reading, “Play Me”. Sadly, both times I went by the piano, it was occupied by 3-4 year olds, so I wasn’t able to play it. Golden opportunity missed.
I arrived this morning in Philadelphia on a redeye flight. Had lunch in Reading Terminal, did a little sightseeing, now I'm on a plane back home (yay wifi).

Woke up this morning with my eyes still hurting from the previous day's eye exam (diabetic retinopathy that has to get laser surgery to correct) and a little nervous/concerned about the upcoming surgery. Threw myself into work and this site during the day and then went out to a nice dinner with the wife. Pretty normal as could be all things considered.

I managed to find my older son's glasses which he had lost a month ago and tried to hide from us (he only needs to use them at certain times and just tried to avoid those situations). I was a superhero for accurately enough remembering his movements of a month ago and tracking them down.

The bad side is that my three year old just fucking WILL NOT sleep. Ever. Even for a minute. Ever.

Draugnar, I'll pray that your surgery exceeds expectations and has good results, and that that underlying condition improves.

50% chance it won't take at all the doctor says. I am planning it for early September so I can get my blood sugar better in control.
Got to take my boys to a Braves game. Two seats between us and home plate. By 4th inning I was watching the 5 year old running a set of bases up in nosebleed & having a blast.

We pitched the idea to one of the breakfast places we go to a lot, and they served pitchers of Gatorade with breakfast on jan 1st.
Really should be served at every breakfast place always.
