People who can't even CDR right

How bothersome is it when someone misses two turns to CDR and everyone has been waiting for the cycles, then they visit the game again but do nothing so you have to wait two more days for them to CDR again. It can really put a parking brake on a game.

new game

I want to play a new game, prefering rather experienced players.
I thought about 2 days/phase, 101 bet. I don´t really care if it is gunboat or classic game, you guys tell me what you would like better. Write, if you are interested.

Giants vs. Cowboys

The NFL Season Opener was last night; Giants vs. Cowboys. I myself am a big Giants fan and personally thought they should have won the game. The Cowboys committed over 12 penalties and even though it affected their yardage it was a main factor to why they won the game. Based on last nights performance I think that some of the penalty rules in the NFL need to be changed to stop things like this from happening again. What do you think? Leave your answer as a comment.

Interested in a 10 Minute Live Game?

Anyone want to play a 10 minute live game tonight? I enjoy live but 5 minute phases are a little too fast for negotiation. 10 minutes would take longer but it would be the happy medium for a serious game. Any takers?

So you think you can Diplomacy?

Hi,
I'm setting up a Full-Press Classic WTA. This game requires a Ghost Rating (not Ranking! see GR list) of >150. The game will be anonymous, although a list of participants will be presented here, entry costs 354 kudos, and in the end, I win. There are 3 special rules :-)

DNC blatantly ignores vote of delegates

I wouldn't normally bring this up, since I think that putting much importance on the secondary goings-on at a convention is irrelevant to anything real. But since there was much hullabaloo at this site over a couple things at the Republican convention (rules, seating of delegates, and the teleprompter vote call, which were all silly, sure enough),....

You are cordially invited to The Confederate Grand Ball

Gen. Lee to host The Confederate Grand Ball

Gen. Lee (7588 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

General Robert E. Lee requests the pleasure of your company at The Confederate Grand Ball to begin on September 9th, 2012 or when all seats have been reserved.

A non-refundable deposit of $300 is required to reserve a seat. The event will include a lively match of WTA No-press diplomacy. The match will be played with a 24 hour phase limit so that guest may enjoy the live music and mint julips being served on the veranda between moves.

Please RSVP in this thread to receive directions to the Grand Ball.

Sincerely,
Gen. Lee

Is $300 equal to 8

i am a bit low on cash at the moment.. cheaper?

Gen. Lee (7588 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

Mr. Bo_Sox, if I can direct you here: gameID=98869 you will see that I have already invested considerable funds to get this event planned and organized. I have you might say, bet the farm on the success of this event. You will not want to miss out.

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

and i am must decline your humble invitation, as i love my live games

Gen. Lee (7588 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

Mr. FD, I see you have the cash on hand now. I implore you to trust in your skills, I have witnessed them myself. If you come with your best you are sure to not leave empty handed.

rokakoma (19138 )

I recently kinda like these 2k+ pot games :))), so in case there's a spot left, and I can join, then I'll try to spare the points needed for joining.

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

But i will only have a measly $3 left, which is not enough for the fun fast games of the others.

And plus, i suck at gunboat

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

LOL and with Rokakoma joining a high pot games i will be sure to lose, since he always win high pot games

rokakoma (19138 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

:D:D:D hahaha, thx fortress, but since I like you, of you want to join, I promise you, I'll stay out of this game.

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

no, i don't want to join. As i said before, i much perfer live games, and with 3

left i can't join them. Plus, I have a horrible run at gunboats, i almost never do well in them

Gen. Lee (7588 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

I will keep your name in mind Mr. Rokakoma. You are a very wealthy man, and a very skilled player. It would be an honor to sit across the table from you.

rokakoma (19138 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

well, it's time to improve. Although, it's certainly not the best idea to start improving in a 2100

game...

rokakoma (19138 )

@Gen. Lee, thx, let me know when the time comes!

Welcome Sir. Directions to the show down have arrived via courier.

Feel free to grab a cold beverage and join The Czech and I on the manor's south lawn, we'll be passing the time with a skeet shoot this afternoon waiting for the others to arrive.

RSVPs so far:
1. Gen. Lee
2. The Czech
3. Zmaj

bo_sox48 (5202 )

Sorry, but if it's a gunboat against Czechoslovakia (hey, I didn't say TC this time), I don't think betting a third of my stack is a good plan.

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

^ don't you even dare say TC... bo

and i don't think bettign ALL of my sack is a good idea

Zmaj (215 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

Monsieur, no raison to be afraid. Le Czech is a poor gunboater, what we in France call "un wimp".

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Sep 12 UTC

i would much rather lose my points in small amounts of live gunboats

bo_sox48 (5202 )

Agreed, FD…

Le Czech est un wimp. La Zmaj est une chienne.

Gen. Lee (7588 )

Well, I intend to put together a field of highly decorated players. Currently the match is a featured event and the competition should fit the billing.

As for the cost, I do apologize, but to attract the best talent a large purse is essential. If it weren't for the host limitations, I would make it larger.

Fortress Door (1837 )

bah, i will go see if Gen. Grant has a lower cost game i can join

Should be exciting event already, and we still have 3 seats to fill.

Gen. Lee (7588 )

FD, unfortunately I think you will find that a Yankee gala will pale in comparison. You will get your moneys worth from the hospitality and good company alone at my own Grand Ball.

Gen. Lee (7588 )

I have just received word via telegraph of a sharp and experienced player who intends to join the scheduled events. Cspieker will be joining us shortly, adding another distinguished name to this field.

Zmaj (215 )
06 Sep 12 UTC

Because c'est un wimp, as we said already. I spanked his puny buttocks more times than I care to remember.

Gen. Lee (7588 )
06 Sep 12 UTC

I'm sorry Rokakoma I was under the impression from your earlier post that you would play *if* we needed to fill a slot. This is simply a case of miscommunication.

Thanks for taking the time to do the odds Nigee!

Fortress Door (1837 )
06 Sep 12 UTC

they just don't want you in before you are anti-slavery. Darn those Confederates...

rokakoma (19138 )

No problem Gen. Lee, yes it was miscommunication, but I can kick your asses next time as well :)

Fortress Door (1837 )

Fortress Door (1837 )
