Gunboat to introduce new players to site
I introduced several friends to Webdiplomacy, through a full-press game. Several players (five!) indicated they want to play another gunboat game on the side to get the hang of the site. They're reasonably experienced, so we're looking for two reasonable other players to give some staunch opposition.
Who feels like a game?!

Thoughts of Americans about opinions of "foreigners"about Americans?
So, Americans, what do you think of our opinions of you? What do you think we think about you? I'm curious, because I hear rather often how we are all blaming America blablabla while I know no one who actually does that.

I am about to graduate...
Hello WebDip community.
I am about to graduate high school (2 weeks after tomorrow) and I was wondering if anybody here has any general tips or experiences they can share with me and/or anybody who is graduating. I believe many of you on this site have gone through college or high school already, and was just wondering if anybody could ease my nerves about my future.
I am going to be attending University of River Falls - Wisconsin in the USA; I plan on becoming a teacher.

I'm currently finishing off my first year of my undergrad in the UK (exams in 5 days, yikes) So I can't offer too much advice for the future, but what I will say is that I highly recommend joining a sports team or society, anything at all and don't be scared to try something new.
At the beginning of the year I joined the table tennis society as it's a sport I have played competitively in leagues for the last 7 years. But I wasn't enjoying it at university as I thought the society was poorly run. So I joined ultimate Frisbee, my best decision yet. New sport, but tonnes of friendly new people. As it's a team sport everyone needs to work together meaning everyone already in the team make an effort to get to know you well and make friends with you, as it's important for team chemistry.

This way you get to meet a tonne of new friendly welcoming people of all ages from the university, and you get to travel round (maybe) the country playing an awesome sport.

Give it a thought, oh and I find being drunk is overrated in my opinion. Legal drinking age is 18 here. So I've been legally drinking for a year now. It's not all that it's hyped up to be in my experience.

About math and history majors: You have already noticed that most of the history teachers at your high school are also coaches. That is pretty common across the board, and it creates an impression that "history is for intellectual lightweights who want an easy major so they can coach". Whether or not that is fair is beside the point, it's a stereotype that is out there. I would very definitely encourage you to get certified in teaching math as well so you can dodge that stereoptype.

Also, I have no idea if you're interested in religion/faith/spirituality, but college is an amazing place to find other people who engage their faith at a much more personal, committed, and intellectual level than perhaps you're used to in your home town Sunday School class where many get dragged to church by their parents. Lots of kids go off to college and say "Yeah, I'm free, I can sleep in on Sunday morning!" My suggestion is to say "Yeah, I'm free, I can go to church/mosque/synagogue as an adult!" and get your butt out of bed Sunday morning. The connections I made at church during college have profoundly affected my relationships, career, etc.
Interesting. At my high school, the math teachers were all coaches. Most of the teachers did something extracurricular, but the history teachers were the ones who ran Model UN, Academic Decathlon, Debate, Mock Trial, etc.

We had actual phys ed back in the 80s so the phys ed teachers were the head football.coach for the guys and soccer coach for the women. The assistant phys ed guys coach was the guys varsity soccer coach as well then we had a couple.of teachers from.various departments hamdle.junior varsity and freshman sports. I think the football coach/head PE guy also did basketball but it was so long ago... But our military hiatory teacher did ConSim and our philosophy guy did an alternative religions after school and the psych/sociology teacher did debate with the Latin teacher.

Best advice? Enjoy university. Try not to work too hard, (get wasted, hit on that girl and yes, go sleep with the quiet cute lab partner) because you will never get a second chance at the wonderful freedom of doing what you want will little consequences. But don't let your grades slouch either, lest you end up working at walmart when you graduate.

Men's Clothing
I just got my first real job last week and now I'm in a bit of a tight spot. My wardrobe needs to be updated to be semi-professional and done (mostly) on the kind-of cheap. My work environment is not overly formal (no tie or suit) but I still want to look good and purchase good quality and good fitting clothing and would like some recommendations.

Using the vote button in gunboat
Can someone please clarify what the new rules are about using the vote buttons in gunboat? Back in the day communication using these buttons was accepted (eg. "Cancel" = let's stop fighting, "Draw" = let's take out the big guy, "Pause" = Somebody help me, etc.). I know there was some tl;dr about it in the Gunboat Tournament thread but if any mods/admins can clear it up here i'd appreciate it.
