Top 12 Reasons to Vote Democrat
1. I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.

Let's get this game started early. Expect some degree of role play and press more than the norm (ie; if your idea of press is "DMZ in Sil?" maybe not the game for you). Also will be an EOG thread.

So you want to be President
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.

Same as before - each competitor plays 7 WTA games, one with each country, no. of D won in total determines ranking.

World Diplomacy IX Stats
Is there anywhere to find stats on this variant? Like which positions have the highest and lowest win percentages? I've looked but have been unsuccessful finding anything.

no, there is no way, exlcuding you going to all world games and doing them yourself
I did that once and posted a thread on it months ago. Never bookmarked it so I'd have to go digging deep. Kenya is best, I believe.
Well I was really lucky and found it right away. Its page 801 in the forums, but I'll re-post what I said there anyways. I never could figure out how to format it to come off nicely, so I'll try something slightly different and see how it works


_______Draws__ Wins __Survive
Kenya ___43___ __5 _____16
China ____32_____ 2 _____10
Frozen ___32 _____3______ 9
Near East _26 _____3______ 9
Quebec ___31_____ 5_____ 7
Argentina _30 _____7 ______9
Ghana ___28_____ 5 ______10
Pac-Rus __24_____ 1______ 9
West Can_ 33 ____1_______ 6
India _____26_____ 6 ______12
Oz _______20____ 1 ______10
USA _____20_____ 4 ______15
Europe ___21 _____4 ______8

Libya ____14_____ 2_______ 7

I hope this posts correctly

Ehh, it got rid of the spacings, but it went alright. Spent about an hour compiling this, from probably around 150 games, but I'm really not sure of the sample size. To note, there is a significant amount of error because I didn't do much in the way of screening games. I counted ones with resigns, CD's, mass draws (though I began to exclude those), etc. So this data isn't perfectly reflective, but its a good start.

Kenya is clearly in a league of its own in draw percentage (note, these are numbers of draws, wins, not percentages). Followed by that is a group consisting of China, Frozen-Antarctic, Quebec, Western Canada and win leader, Argentina. The next class would be composed of Near-East, Ghana, Pac-Rus, India, Brazil, and Russia. Rounding out the bottom grouping is Oz, USA, Europe, South Africa, and Libya.

Its interesting to note neighbor dynamics, how Ghana does better than Libya, Kenya better than South Africa, but Quebec and West-Can usually perform at about the same level
Huzzah! They were more or less in columns!

I really need to get into another World game. My public press experiment was fun, but I should have learned that you never, ever pause a World game.

"I should have learned that you never, ever pause a World game." Not so terrible if you get when you are going to unpause agreed upon beforehand so that the mods will unpause for you if needed.
@Sleepcap (Oli?) - I love the statistics on VDip, but that's just much too small of a sample size. I drew those numbers from something like 150 games, though there are many more.

But I really should go through all that again and sort out the bad games, or sort by press type

Yeah, the Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World game unpaused on schedule by the mods cause the pause had an agreed upon end time.

"Unread Messages" in gunboat games
Trying not to be specific, but I'm in an ongoing gunboat game where there was a person running multiple accounts. Thus, when they were removed, the game got an automated message (as always happens in such cases).

However, since it's a gunboat game, I can't see the message to read it. And thus can't get rid of the "New Message" icon. Help?

Will your life change by the man who's elected?
Congress hasn't done much in the last eight (?) years due to division of control. The president either can't do much without a congress or just goes over congress to get stuff done. The better litmus test in recent years of what four years will bring is which party controls the senate and house. So honestly, will your life change by the man who's elected? Why or why not? (please don't devolve into a flame war)
