Presidential Pets

Nothing against Obama, but I don't find his choice of dog compelling. Portuguese Water Dog? Kind of prissy, don't you think? And Bo? It's not a good dog name. Buddy Clinton, the chocolate lab, now that's a dog. He could have kicked the crap out of Socks the cat, but he was just too damn chill.

WebDiplomacy Tutorial Quiz

This is an amazingly detailed set of quizzes set up by one of our top gunboat players, Rokakoma. I'd challenge everyone to try and figure them all out. Hopefully we can get some or all of these added to the site help eventually.

retirement

Hello all, I am leaving this game as I haven't had time for it and really haven't been interested in playing given my current priorities in real life. I would like it if someone would take over the one game I am still in, as the other players don't deserve to have a player CD. Please message me if you are interested in taking over a standard message anon game with long phases.
Thanks and goodbye!

Going AWOL

Does the system keep track of how many times a person ditches a game and goes AWOL? I think that should be part of each player's stats. I know nobody likes losing, but I think if you signed up for a game then see it out to the end.

Things i think are missing in the site

I think it could be useful to have a search bar so we can search for specific information on tactics or strategies, etc.
The forum grows every day and i remember conversations wich is getting harder to find but can be of use.
also can be nice to have some record of who created each game, but i am not sure about it.

NFL Week 3: A Week of Teams in Early Turmoil--Redskins, Lions, Colts, 49ers, Steelers...

We kick off the week tonight with Andy Reid's return to Philly in a surprisingly-interesting Chiefs/Eagles match up. Then, Sunday, comes a host of playoff and contending teams with 1-1 or 0-2 records looking to right the ship. Lions and Redskins in a game both need...Colts and Niners in a game already-important for each team's division title hopes...the 0-2 Steelers and 2-0 Bears each with something to prove...who hits their stride, who stumbles--PICK 'EM!

obiwanobiwan (248 )

Obi's picks:

KC@PHI: Philly's tough to play on the road, but Reid prepares his CHIEFS for an upset
HOU@BAL: I'll roll with the hot team here and say the TEXANS win another one late
CLE@MIN: If the VIKINGS don't win, they're 0-3, they're done, and Ponder's likely done
NYG@CAR: Both these 0-2 teams need this win; I'll take Eli over CAR's D here--GIANTS
GB@CIN: I'll go upset again and say the BENGALS affirm their new top-5 AFC status
STL@DAL: If the Rams win the NFC West could get Wild, but for now, I'll go COWBOYS
DET@WAS: Again, both teams need this, and I'll take the home team here--REDSKINS
TB@NE: If the PATRIOTS don't win here, expect the Pats to trade for a WR immediately
ARI@NO: The SAINTS continue to return to form and get the win here
SD@TEN: Two teams trying to make an early WC run...I'll take the CHARGERS
ATL@MIA: I want to see this happen, so I'll go upset again--the DOLPHINS prove they're back
BUF@NYJ: Another team coming back--finally!--are the BILLS with a win here
IND@SF: I'm taking the NINERS...of course I am...and after last week, we need a good win
JAC@SEA: Bahahahahahahaha...........SEAHAWKS, next!
CHI@PIT: Pittsburgh's burned me twice already, so sorry, but I have to take da BEARS
OAK@DEN: Peyton and his BRONCOS put on another prime-time show on Monday Night

KC@PHI: I'm starting Mike Vick over Drew Brees so he'd better kick some ass.
HOU@BAL: This should be fun. I'm going Baltimore but only because I still have some hope that the Colts win the division.
CLE@MIN: It's Adrian Peterson versus Trent Richar - oh wait. Suck it Cleveland. You lose big time. Really big time. Blowout. Ha.
NYG@CAR: Eli > Cam, but neither is all that great. Giants win because the rest of their team is better.
GB@CIN: Packers with a reasonable offensive attack, and I'm starting James Starks over MJD, so he'll run for 400 yards and 12 TDs.
STL@DAL: The Rams are a dark horse, but the Cowboys will still win.
DET@WAS: Megatron will shred the shittiest pass defense in the league.
TB@NE: Tom Brady will find a weapon and stifle Tampa's D.
ARI@NO: The Saints will kick ass.
SD@TEN: I think Chris Johnson has a chance to run wild but I don't think he will. Chargers 21-14.
ATL@MIA: The Falcons will win a close game.
BUF@NYJ: Toilet bowl #2. EJ Manuel leads the Bills to a win, proves he's the better rookie QB (who really gives a fuck except ESPN though?)
IND@SF: T-Rich rushes 12 times for 19 yards and the Colts get smoked on. Indianapolis Star calls Ryan Grigson an idiot and I remind them that they called him that in three years when Richardson is a Pro Bowler and the Colts win the Super Bowl again.
JAC@SEA: Jacksonville's well on their way to 0-16.
CHI@PIT: The Steelers aren't good, the Bears aren't much better, but Chicago wins anyway.
OAK@DEN: Peyton. *gasp in anticipation* Manning. *wild cheering* (That's a Family Guy reference...)

For now I'm just going to call tonight's game. I say the CHIEFS take the win because, as I say last week, the Eagles are not that good.

Celticfox (100 )
19 Sep 13 UTC

KC@PHI: Chiefs win in a close game.
HOU@BAL: Houston. Arian Foster finally lights up.
CLE@MIN: Min. God is trying to give the Vikings a win here. Also, they didn't look half bad last Sunday sadly.
NYG@CAR: Giants. Carolina is just that bad this year.
GB@CIN: Cin.. just cause I'd love to see the gap between the Bears and GB in the division widen.
STL@DAL: Dallas
DET@WAS: Was
TB@NE: TB in a must win.
ARI@NO: Saints, but it'll be close.
SD@TEN: Chargers
ATL@MIA: Miami in a surprise win.
BUF@NYJ: Eh who cares.. Buf I guess.
IND@SF: San Fran
JAC@SEA: Sea
CHI@PIT: Bears.. easily the Bears
OAK@DEN: Den.. Manning puts up 40

KC@PHI: PHILADELPHIA has too much offense for the Chiefs
HOU@BAL: HOUSTON gets the win on the road, against a Baltimore team I believe is overrated
CLE@MIN: Does anyone play on offense for Cleveland? MINNESOTA
NYG@CAR: I'm taking Cam and the PANTHERS at home, just because I'm still pissed off about the Eli/Peyton debate haha
GB@CIN: GREEN BAY is still really good, unfortunately.
STL@DAL: DALLAS pulls one out, but the Rams give them a run
DET@WAS: Worst passing defense versus Megatron... DETROIT
TB@NE: NEW ENGLAND wins at home and Josh Freeman gets ripped by the media
ARI@NO: NEW ORLEANS dominates on the home turf.
SD@TEN: Phillip Rivers continues his revival. SAN DIEGO
ATL@MIA: ATLANTA wins a very close game
BUF@NYJ: Both of these teams have issues, but I'm going with the home team in a low-scoring, turnover-infested affair. NEW YORK
IND@SF: SAN FRANCISCO rolls
JAC@SEA: SEATTLE rolls
CHI@PIT: CHICAGO finally wins with ease? Otherwise I might have a coronary
OAK@DEN: DENVER lights up the Raiders

Celticfox (100 )

@Zach Have your phone ready then. No prime time win is ever easy for the Bears.

Celticfox (100 )

Also what do you guys think of the Browns trading Richardson to the Colts? Browns are in for a very long season now, while that is going to help the Colts make it to the playoffs.
