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!

You probably don't have what it takes

I'd like to start a game wherein each participant goes all-in with their points (or at least as close to it as possible), AND are more or less evenly matched according to their ghost rating.

Hazel-Rah (1262 )

Are there six other players out there with around 300

and a GR in the neighborhood of 150-200, interested in a classic map, full press, anonymous, winner-take-all game with 24 or 36 hour phases?

I imagine it's a pretty shallow pool I'm trying to draw from, so if we can't do both, I'd be interested in just a ghost rating game with the above parameters, buy-in immaterial.

If you are interested, please respond by posting your ghost rating, the number of points you're willing to risk, and your preferred phase length, either 24 or 36 hours.

My GR is currently 160.5, I have 297

to blow, and I prefer 24 hr phases.

My GR is 269.36 (rank is 82nd overall) and my points are only 101, what does that tell you? And know, I can't play. Too much between work and school for a 24 hour game.

Draugnar (0 )

*no not know... Brain fart.

tendmote (100 )

My GR is 85.66, I'm ranked 3550 currently, with a little over 1200

. Are there six more for a game?

Hazel-Rah (1262 )
24 Sep 13 UTC

Thanks for the bumps I guess, though I don't get the point of responding just to say you can't play/don't fit my narrow criteria.

I can handle one game at a time right now, so I'd like it to be a good one. I'm curious as to whether matching players up evenly (via what imperfect rating systems we have) actually results in a "quality" game, as opposed to a random one which might have an unbalanced mix ranging from experts to idiots.

Draugnar (0 )
24 Sep 13 UTC

Points, no, but GR, yes. I have found the GR challenge games to be some of the best and most enjoyable ones I have played in. If you can go with a 2 or 3 day turnaround and are willing to get it down to 50

, I can play.

Hazel-Rah (1262 )
24 Sep 13 UTC

Points don't matter much, I'm fine with 5 up to whatever. But 24 hrs is my sweet spot, and 36 hours is my limit. Anyway, the numbers say you're a heavyweight while I'm a middleweight. I have no problem with punching above my weight class, except it would seem to defeat the purpose of a GR challenge.

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!

The 6 Weirdest Things We've Learned Since 9/11

It's been a long time since I've liked an article enough to want to cut and paste it somewhere in it's entirety. But anyways, doing that would probably create copyright issues. So instead I'll just post the first paragraph, and then helpfully a link to the rest of the article. Hope you enjoy!
