Noob Question: Forum Topics
I tried to find it in FAQ and Help if there are limits on the forum topics. Like do they have to be about only games on this board or related issues. But I do notice a lot of political discussions, things about wine/beer, and what not. So it seems there is no limit.

But I want to check. thanks!

So is rape but it's the reason 90% of Romney's counterparts lost.
So is bo_sox's mom, but that doesn't stop men from hiring her night after night
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
20 Nov 12 UTC
Yeah, a lot of men hire her. Women too. She has lots of clients and she will work both night and day. Sometimes I won't see her for over 48 hours because she's out of town with a few other guys.

That's because she's a lawyer and it's her job.
That was my point, bo. She's a lawyer. It's disgusting and you should be ashamed haha

Lobbyists and lawyers in Indianapolis are a lot different than the ones in Washington. That's not to say that they don't cut corners at times (there are plenty that do; my mom doesn't often), but there are real morals in the lawyers here, unlike many places.

Translated: It's disgusting, but I'm not ashamed because she's successful. It's not what I'm going to do. Every middle schooler says "doctor" or "lawyer" and I would say "happy" or "prideful" - that's all that matters to me. Fuck rich. I grew up rich so I need some poor in me as an adult.

She went into law school as someone who thought she was going to be doing a lot of trials but she has eventually developed into a lobbyist, though she has done trials before. I say lawyer because of the connotation that comes with a lobbyist, which is due to the top lobbyists being pathetically unethical bastards. The ones that take on small businesses in the 13th-biggest city in the United States are not pathetically unethical bastards to the degree of those in Washington.
Sigh. smh.

I wasn't being serious bo. I was parodying abge. My father's a lawyer.

Dubmdell -- I did not create or participate in the link you posted, moron.

So apparently the way, in yoru demented mind, to hold someone resonsible for something is to anonymously post something without their knowledge and then claim legitimacy? Did yo PM me? Did you and abge do this in the original thread, in which I called for an escrow?

God, what a moron you are.

By the way, you owe me $5,000 for the arrangement I posted with you *somewhere* on the internet...

My original bet was offered in a thread, I asked for terms *in that thread* which were not taken up by the requirements of the bet *in that thread* or specifically to me anywhere in PM's or such linking to that thread. To post such-and-such nonsense in a variety of *other* threads and claim legitimacy makes you a fool.

By the way...I *do* happen to have a bridge to sell you if you are interested. Quite sweet deal, and I'm sure *somewhere* I can demonstrate title to it...

Moron.

@gf… if I were being serious, my first post would have been a bit less non-serious. I only got serious because it's a misconception that bugs me. I understand that you weren't criticizing her.

By the way, if your dad ever comes to Indy, let me know and I can hook him up with my mom in as literal a sense as you want.

Sorry Krellin but abgemacht is a mod and therefore his declaration that he would hold the money is legally bindling, didn't you realise?
krellin (80 DX)
20 Nov 12 UTC
Oh god, jamie...please mute me again. Life was so much more pleasant then.

Oh, yes, well Draug has held temporary mod status art times, too, if you want to play that game...I'm sure you would be pleased with the results of a Mod-Draug All-Words-Are-Binding world...

None the less...asswipe that you tend to be, why don't you offer an intellectual response to a bet made by a third-party in a unique thread which never was seen or responded to by the first party...when obviously the third-party was aware of an original thread with the topic about which he was to post? Man up, jamie, and exercise some rational thought here...let's see what you have to say...
dubmdell (556 D)
20 Nov 12 UTC
To be fair, you were online while the thread existed. You ignored both my response in the original thread (threadID=911008) and the new thread specifically calling for your attention. Just because you didn't post doesn't mean you didn't see it. I know better than that. How else could you have made your "krellin doesn't mute people" thread without seeing Jamie's (or was it YJ's) comment about you muting people?
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
20 Nov 12 UTC
Ok, Krellers, responding to your points in order:

1. I may very well mute you again once all this "MAN UP" nonsense is over, but currently I'm enjoying the abuse you're getting.

2. Draugnar has never actually been given mod powers, surely? That would be very dangerous for everyone.

3. Of course you don't *actually* owe anyone any money, although the "MAN UP" threads are very amusing if you ask me. But no, of course the bet is not valid. That would be ridiculous. However it was also ridiculous of *you* to offer the bet in the first place. You started this, dude. All of this is of your own doing.
krellin (80 DX)
20 Nov 12 UTC
1. Am I getting abuse? I didn't notice...abuse is supposed to be harmful and/or unpleasant. I'm quite amused by it all, especially the obsessive quality of it by all of you.

2. I may be mistaken, but for a short period I believe Draug has some mod powers. Abge could probably verify...

3. thank you for your intellectual honesty. As for the Man Up threads...I am unaware of their content generally speaking. I have seen a few thigns pop up...but it is really much more of an obsession for all of you than it is abusive to me. As for my (initial* bet - it was serious, and had an escrow stepped up *in my thread* then someone may very well have been receiving my money. Generally speaking, most bets are stupid. and, but for about 2 million votes one way or the other I would have won...then who would be laughing? the vote was 51% to 49%...it was as decent a "gamble" as there is out there. Better odds than a casino.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

There are not varying degrees of mod powers. You either are a mod or you are not. Draugnar has never been a mod. Not sure where that confusion could have come from.

20 Nov 12 UTC
Hey jmo, yes I do. It was and is hilarious. Remember also when I manned the fuck up about it? Here this thread may remind you. Maybe Krellin should read it so he can learn how a non-skirt-wearing individual addresses a legitimate gripe.

http://www.webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?threadID=760067

by the way, the final sentence in that thread still heartily applies.



Hey zmaj remember when I got into the top 100 in your precious ghost rating playing only 9 games? Pathetic indeed.

I dunno, YellowJacket did a lot of boasting going into the game I played with him. And then he died, and took me down with him.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
20 Nov 12 UTC
Biggest mistake ever goldie. You were my best friend in that game and I never realized it till too late. Pretty sure I made a fairly contrite EoG after that one as well.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
20 Nov 12 UTC
Fine Yellowjacket, let me be more specific, I am sick of people, not just you, coming onto random threads and calling people out. If you want to make your own thread or pm people to call them out then all the power too you. But coming onto random threads, especially ones where there is an intelligent conversation going on is disrespectful, annoying, and borderline spam. Coming onto a thread like "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!" and making an already tense situation worse is bad enough, but doing it while you know the person who posted the thread is in the hospital with his wife is disgraceful and everyone involved should be ashamed. So no, I can't make you stop, but in that thread you pointed out you admitted you were willing to listen to constructive criticism.

"I'm here to play, and I'm here to learn, and if you don't like my attitude I'd suggest you study jmo's approach a bit, because his few bits of *constructive* criticism does a whole lot more than anything you've said to change my feelings on my quality of play. So if you have something specific to say that I could do better, I'd love to hear it... if you just want to slap me down for running my mouth on the forum, you can get bent." -Yellowjacket

Here's to hoping you still are...you and krellin and Draugnar are all capable of having civil discussions on the site, it'd be nice if you could attempt to contribute a little more in-between trolling jobs, while occasionally cutting other people some slack. That goes for everyone involved with the "man up" threads.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
20 Nov 12 UTC
Fair enough, jmo.

And no, I don't believe I can have a civil conversation with Krellin. He proven himself incapable of that long ago and continues to do so now. He's the worst form of coward and net hero. He gets owned horribly when he makes his ridiculous, racist, political, declarations, and then comes back and makes them again as if the whole previous conversation never happened. And then he challenges other people for not having sufficient intellectual honesty. He's an insufferable lout and a cretin and he deserves worse than he's getting now. Sorry if that's negatively influencing your forum reads (really, I am) - and times I feel maybe I ought to back off, but then you go see the camera thread for example and he hasn't learned a fucking thing from this experience.

I like this Krellin we have today much more. He's defensive. He's a bit shellshocked. He's almost entirely out of ammo. He poses his newly-found-but-never-to-be-admitted insecurity with the garbage he writes as arrogance and acts like he loves the attention from his "fans" it and it's delightfully superficial. I like that he shuts up now.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
20 Nov 12 UTC
Oh no, I don't mean have a civil conversation with him, I meant with the rest of the forum, as in take some time off of targeting him and participate in some other thread topics and conversations. I don't really have an opinion on the rest, like I said before, that is your choice to target him and call him out, but it would be nice if you could save it for threads that he has actually posted in.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
20 Nov 12 UTC
Oh, I thought I (we?) had done a pretty good job keeping it to threads where either he's posted or that were dedicated to the topic of ridiculing him. I mean sometimes I started fxxing with him after he posted but before he went off on a bigoted tangent, but I consider that a pre-emptive strike. You just know idiocy is going to ensue.

So I'm starting to drink wine on the reg, any suggestions for relatively good inexpensive wine? (less than $20, preferably near $10, but I can splurge on occasion)

Also I need a new good/craft beer. I generally like dark bitter beers, or spiced ales. My go to over the past year has been Golden Monkey, which is a high alcohol spiced ale, again on the less expensive size.
