Santa and Jesus are WHITE GODDAMNIT, says Megyn Kelly
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/fox-news-host-megyn-kelly-says-jesus-and-santa-are-white-193322244.html
1. We'll leave Jesus being a "historical figure" alone here, that's up in the air (not even saying I don't think he might've been, just saying.)
2. ...Does it REALLY matter if people want a Black Santa? Really?
3. You're gonna tell me a Jew in the Middle East 2,000 years ago had pearly-white skin? O.o Um...no.

21 million Bitcoins
There are currently just over 12m Bitcoins in circulation. The number of Bitcoins allowed to exist is capped at 21m Bitcoins - once the 21 millionth Bitcoin has been mined, no new Bitcoins will be created.

What will happen when the 21m Bitcoin mark is reached?

Time Stamp
A time stamp seems like a bit of a weird thing to include standard in a diplomacy game. For the older members, has it always been here? Was there a reasoning behind its implementation?

Call for Players - Sandgoose Second Annual
as per below, Gentlemen
Al Swearengen (0 DX)

Some of the newer players will not remember Sandgoose. He was a famous ne'er-do-well that was caught cheating multiple times.

We remember Sandgoose not as an honorable player who was amicable and made many friends, but as a cantankerous troll who did his utmost to ruin other's enjoyment of the site.

But we love him anyway.

A motion to allow him to return after he was banned was voted down by the players. Come celebrate Sandgoose's rather dubious contributions to the sport of Diplomacy in a match. I am specifically requesting the worst and most acrid personalities for this match.

If you believe that most press in the game should be filled with insults and profanity, boy do I have the game for you! Even in Spring 1901!

With special guests Draugnar, Michigan Man, Chaqa and the very lowest of the low that this web site has to offer. Players will be specially encouraged to attempt to ruin other people's fun. Just don't be mad if I use naked pictures of your mother to blackmail you. You don't want to see 'em, but I've got 'em!

Game will not be drawn until at least three people have quit in tears!

Cheaters and miscreants and anyone living in their parents basement especially encouraged to join.

I don't recall a vote for Sandgoose. I remember the mods were very clear that Sandgoose could not return. But there was a vote for Agent K, and that returned a big No.

Sandgoose wouldn't have it any other way, my friend.


EDIT: I believe Spyman (above) is right. It was Agent K, not Sandgoose, that was voted off the island.

I remember it was Swedgin himself who muted people in the 1st annual game because he couldn't take even mild abuse. Hopefully his tissue paper skin has thickened over the past year.

Received a phone call from a very distraught ILN last night who wishes everyone to know that he is not only a communist, but also a fan of the famous pop singer Justin Bieber.

I declined his offer to personally sing every song off of Bieber's first album for the enjoyment of the other players.

Also, he wanted to point out that he plans to make an appearance in this game so I hope all of you will extend him a warm welcome.

Anyone track down Fortress Door? I feel like he's just snarky enough for this game!

You'll never guess what my Biology teacher teached me...
Some not-too-fast girl thought there's oxygen in your urine.
The teacher explained: "there are no bubbles coming out of your wheenie!!" or something like that, roughly translated. She's hilarious.
In all honesty that was a small walk down memory lane, but anyway :)

Abolish the TSA
This editorial was in USA Today (!) and makes a pretty good case - the TSA has never actually caught a terrorist, its incentives do not line up with those of travelers, and the type of terrorism it was designed to deter doesn't actually happen anymore.

Inheritance Tax
I an inheritance tax (on sums larger than a certain amount, leaving a small sum to the heirs), keeps the capitalistic system going, levels the economic playing field somewhat, and requires the would-be dependents to go out and work. Furthermore, one who didn't want to pay in the form of taxes could give to the community through charitable donations. This system was supported by Andrew Carnegie in his "Gospel of Wealth", what arguments could be raised against it?

The son of rich Dallas parents got two years probation at a ultra rich rehab camp after killing 4 people and injured others when he drove at 70 mph into the group helping a motorist change a tire. The kid claimed he couldn't tell right from wrong because his parents bought him everything including apparently the judge.

Gunboat Games
What is the best way to improve at gunboat games? I've been told several times that I am a worthless waste of space. And I would like to become a waste of space with a minuscule bit of worth. How can I bridge the gap? I tend to do better when I can manipulate people into what I want them to do.
