Substitute player?
I was wondering, is it possible to substitute a player into a game without needing to miss two phases to get a CD, but that's a long time in which the players entire game plan could get crushed as the players around him would take advantage. I know it isn't possible now, but would a mod be able to do it if needed? E.G. if a player leaves but doesn't want to ruin the game.

CNN wants you to believe they know shit about Congo and that they eat people down there. My calculations disprove this.

Congo=cng+2×o=2×0=20=9+11=9/11

@Iceray... who the fuck cares? They're people on this site. They're players too.

@uly ... how does 9+11=9/11?

I have no evidence either way about shape-shifting reptilians, and consequently, no opinion. Does this mean I don't believe in it, or that I don't know?

I'll ask a counter question and let you log your answer to my question as my answer to your question: Do you believe the Barack Obama is a shape-shifting alien who has taken human form and is controlling all the leaders of the world with his psionic powers...and that he secretly likes to eat dogs?
Tolstoy (1962 D)
05 Apr 13 UTC
Hmm... my first instinct was to say NO, but after thinking about it for a second, I really have no idea if he is or not. He could very well be, or at least, the human Barack Obama could've been replaced at some point in the not-too-distant past and I would never know about it. I have no way to empirically verify or disprove this claim one way or another (at least, none that wouldn't involve me being killed by the Secret Service). I suppose an impartial panel of scientists could put the matter to rest by conducting an extensive battery of tests, but that hasn't happened for some reason (and even if it did, how could we know the scientists aren't shape-shifting reptilians in on the conspiracy as well?). I guess all this makes me an "I Don't Know". It's a strange universe we live in, and I think anything is possible (though some things are very, very, very unlikely).

I am certain that Obama does not eat dogs, though. As a Secret Muslim, Obama must view dogs as unclean creatures that are not fit to eat under most circumstances. Unless the individual we believe is Obama is actually a shape-shifting reptilian who replaced the Secret Muslim Obama, in which case I suppose all bets are off.

@bo - That is the flaw you saw? Not that he completely eliminated cng or that he made 2x0=20 (what?) *or* that congo would actually mathematically be cng*(2*o) or 2cngo and that then substituting 0 for o would result in 2*cng*0 which equals 0. So There is 0 shit to know about the congo because the congo is a great big 0.

Tolstoy, actually, during the election, when Romney was accused of tying his dog to the roof of his car, it was revealed that Obama are a dog in Indonesia. Since our alien invaders most likely would not be true worshippers of any religion, they may very well have made a mistake in order to fit in to the local culture and eaten a dog....thus suggesting that not only is Obama a shape shifting alien, but has been so for decades....meaning that his plot to first occupy the White House, and then the UN, is an alien plot extending back decades.

Should we further explore his Kenyan roots, I shudder to think of what his "relatives" on the dark continent do when no one is looking. Beneath those mud hit they live in, untouched by any prying eyes, could be an underground alien fortress of unprecedented power...

Hi, hecks.

Well, you always had the option of not commenting in this thread at all. That would have been your best shot at not dignifying it with a response. Since you have now joined the thread, your closest remaining option would seem to be to vote for "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK".

Shall I put you down for that one?

Wonderful...Now, can we get back to the alien's underground lair in Africa and start formulating our plans? I fear they will strike soon, and we should have our counter-insurgency ready to roll. And if they don't strike soon, well, dammit! I'm a American and I just god-damned feel the need to start a war *somewhere*! Africa seems like a helluva good shooting range, so why the fuck not there.

Now...let's start countin' bullets...

@Jamie - That is a false statement. The real result was that 18% of the respondents. If you take 2 votes out of all the active forum members, you get a much lower percent. The problem is this thread was not taken seriously by the general populace, but the two nut jobs who actually believed it showed up. IT's the same problem all "call this number to vote" polls have. They are skewed towards those people who have a fervent opinion and don't get the real feel for what the average person thinks. That requires real polling by actually, you know, polling people. Not just posting a survey that the average Joe will ignore.

Fascists running this thread prevented truth-seeking forumites from voting in the poll. It's the most biased poll since the UK polled Brits living in Falklands whether they wish to be Brits or Argentinians. I demand a recount.

Have Diplomacy been used in education?
I am Japanese. I do not know what significance the game of Diplomacy has in U.S.A or EU. In Japan, it is said frequently, without any evidence, that the game of Diplomacy is a somekind of textbook to learn politics or other branches in junior high or senior high school. Is that really?

Game is still on Pause Mode
I am currently in a game called world wide gunboat! - 28. A player was removed for duplicate accounts and the game has been in pause mode since. Everyone has submitted their orders and is ready for the next phase, but it is not moving on. Many players are voting to unpause as well. Is this a fluke? I am confused as to why the game is still in pause mode.
