Still doesn't answer where the 4 D black hole came from...just pushes the question of existence back to a different point/place...

Feeling down
Sometimes I feel very sad and I don't understand what's going on at all.

Arab Spring, George Orwell, Jackson Pollock, The French Revolution, Kierkegaard, Machine Guns, Sex, D-Day, Ghengis Khan, Holocaust, Evolution, Schopenhauer, the Black Death, I mean what the FUCK.

So I'm gonna be writing a series of articles on Diplomacy strategy by country.
Chime in with suggestions for what you'd like to see covered in this series, what you think doesn't receive enough face time in other articles, what receives too much, etc. There's going to be a general article as well so if you've got more general material you want to see, throw it up here too.

IDEA: Enclaves & Exclaves
I've get a hard-on from keeping non-SC territories neutral or the color of an eliminated player; maybe it's the Yankee in me, but I hate seeing the entire board a single color -- it just seems so totalitarian.... So, here's an idea: what if you got an extra SC worth of "supply" for surrounding such "unowned" territories?

Reading on Dip Strategy
I'm playing a game with a few friends who have played Dip but may be a bit rusty. I'd love to share some links to some links to good articles to read on their respective countries. I used to read a lot on diplomacy-archive, but it seems to be incomplete in describing different openings etc. What do you guys consider to be the definitive guide of all things Diplomacy?

who would you like to meet on webdip if you wete visiting their part of town?
My recent trip to London, meeting up with Nigee, and Lando's recent post about going to Detroit and possibly meeting up with Frank, got me wondering. If you were going somewhere and you knew someone from webdip lived there, who would you reach out to to have a beer with? Or a coffee if its Bosox ;-)

I think, despite all of our arguments here, if I was going to Cincinnati, I would meet up with Draug, if he was willing. A trip to Australia would warrant an invite to Kestas, who wouldnt pay for a drink all night, a trip to Boston, id definitely look up Mapu. Not sure where others live, but to list a few others id have a drink with would be abge, Jmo (fuck off mod haters!), Sicarius and sioraff from the old days.

Bosox seems like he'd be fun to hang out with, but then I have to remind myself that he's only 17. that would be a little weird. Maybe in 4 years when we can hang out at a bar and grab a drink or something.

This is my plan, don't tell anyone.
I'm going to travel to Oz and go stalk Kestas, then abduct him, sit him at his pc and force him to add emoticons to this website <smiley face>.
Afterwards he'll probably thank me for making a good call <hand-shake>, <man-hug>, I'll let him go and he will post a <phew I'm safe now> emoticon on the site. I will follow up with a triple whammy <happy>, <smiling> & <laughing> emoticon.
People the world over will wonder <quizzical> why we never had them before <curious> but everyone on Webdip will thank me <applaud>, <worship>, <pray to> for my mission of mercy, of course the fun <happy>, <smiling> will soon go <frowning>, <unhappy>, <tears>, <guilt> when I ask people to donate towards the cost of my flight <wailing>, <gnashing of teeth>, <howling>, <anger>, <hatred>, <misery>, <jealousy>, <rage>.
We can discuss anything on this site from religion to porn to genocide to rape to fascism but talk of a $5 donation to actually keeping the site going sends some people into a maniacal rage and Mods suddenly get all <touchy-feely> about people feeling <sensitive> and <hurt>.
Actually on second thoughts I don't think some people could handle it if we gave them such a big range of emotions to choose from , it could be emoticon carnage, move along now, nothing to see here <bitter disappointment>

@al, Guinness, Sam Adams, Bulmers or Jack, doesn't matter much to me.
I'd have a beer with some and a six-pack with all
I'd probably be up for meeting most regular forum posters. I seem to have a knack for showing up when people are out of town (or maybe they're dodging me!). Earlier this year, I was in Chicago when CF was away and Seattle when semck was away. I'll be in NYC next month and New Orleans the month after that, so who knows?

@ Nigee: You're getting the multi thing the wrong way round. What would happen is, you'd arrange to meet three or four guys, and then only one would turn up because they were all Sargmacher.
The catch is that he has dissociative identity disorder. One man, many people

Is a player with a multiple personality disorder allowed one account for each personality?
Nah, if you happen to shift personalities while an alter ego's moves are up, they can still get you for meta gaming.
There are too many that I'd like to meet in rl. Not really sure I could make a list. I'd start with everyone who joined the Webdip tribe last summer:-)
