Pause error?
Two of my games just spontaneously went into pause without any of the players voting "pause". Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a bug?

MAD MARX GUNBOAT CHALLENGE
MadMarx is, without argument, the best player on this site. He claims to be bored, though, with his regular rotation of classic Diplomacy games. So why not try something new? I challenge you, MM, to a single game of gunboat with some of the top gunboaters on this site. You can have final approval over pot size, phase length, and the other players in the game. What do you say?

China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador--Snowden's Idea of a "Free State?"
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/snowden-washington-reaction-182004272.html "The freedom trail is not exactly China-Russia-Cuba-Venezuela" I have to agree...explain to me again how this guy's a symbol for freedom again (and again, do so WITHOUT saying "Well, the NSA was wrong--" YES. YES IT WAS. That does NOT mean this guy's good...really? Why pick those states, if he couldn't stand what the NSA was doing...they're not exactly Paradises of Government Transparency either...)

I want to be a league Substitute Please
Hi! I have been here at WebDiplomacy since the start of the year. Have played a lot of fun games and have been doing OK. Someone suggested that league games were a lot more strategic and the "done thing" was to sign up via the forums. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Joel.

Kids teased in schools
So in Holland, as in all other countries, there are kids teased in schools. The government has gone through great lengths to "protect them", a dangerous development if you ask me.

Last I checked there hasn't been a single detail of this investigation leaked. Why judge him so quickly? They charged him with first degree murder; they charged Ray Lewis with the same thing. He's not guilty yet.
Mapu (362 D)
27 Jun 13 UTC
Did you see the arraignment on TV? It's about as serious an allegation as it can get and he'll really have to scramble if he's not guilty. He destroyed his cell phone and his house's surveillance videos, there are text messages placing him with the guy and the GPS tracking from his phone records put him at the scene.

@bo,

Yeah, but this is the second person he shot. Or at the very least, the second person he hung around with at the same time they were shot. If he isn't a murderer then he's the unluckiest bastard around.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
27 Jun 13 UTC
@Mapu, Abge ... the trial hasn't happened yet. That's all there is to it. If he's guilty after the trial, then he's just as guilty as you seem to think he is now. Till then, he's not.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Even if he isn't guilty, it's rather poor form to get caught up in two shootings in one year.
ghug (5068 D(B))

No, bo, he merely hasn't been proven guilty. The laws are there to protect innocent people, and that is good, but it doesn't mean that they have any bearing on the truth. People are free to speculate given the facts available to them, and the speculation of many of us, and the police, is that he killed the guy.

I mean, what do you expect. We throw these people up on pedestals from the start of their lives. We let them know they just need to scrape by in classes to get paid millions of dollars to smash into other people holding a ball. They are encouraged and given praise at every turn in their lives. Is it any surprise when a professional athlete displays behavior that isn't quite acceptable or seems to think they live above the law?

It's one of those things like freedom of speech. The court and the law are required to treat people as if they are innocent until they are proven guilty. Private citizens can do whatever they want. Just like freedom of speech governs what kind of laws Congress can make regarding speech, but I can still have rules that restrict it in my home.

Just got this update from boston.com:

Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is being investigated in connection with a 2012 double murder on Shawmut Avenue in Boston, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.
The real indication of how serious this is, and how likely guilty he is, is that the Patriots released him the same day the news broke and today Hernandez cleared waivers. Nobody wants to touch this guy.

I have two questions to ask.
1. If I don't like a player and don't want to pause the game per that person's request, can the Mod pauses the game for that person?

2. If a person does not want to work and I don't want to give the person's my spare changes, can the government tax me then give the other person some welfare?
