I'm thinking of setting up a new passworded game
I'll be using your published stats to decide if I want to play against you or not.
I understand that statistics can sometimes be unreliable, as well as lies and, indeed, damn lies.

Why is there still so much war in the world?
2014 and there are still lots of wars going on, have we not progressed at all as a species, we think we are above animals but we are not because they only kill for food, we kill for all sorts of bullshit excuses. Is that what education has given us, more reasons to kill our fellow homo-sapiens?

Replacement player unable to join
This issue relates to the following game:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=139971
We have had Russia being banned for multi-accounting apparently, and we were told by GameMaster to try to find another player, which was promptly done. However, the replacement player allegedly cannot find the "join" button for the game and therefore cannot join. Could we please get some guidance as to what we should do in this case?

Is it weird...
...that I skipped a class to play piano? Don't people go and get themselves arrested when they skip class, then there's me, rocking out to Let It Go at 8:30 in the morning...

I like it. I used to sit down and put headphones on and play my keyboard for hours. Good Bo!
I don't think it's weird. But about your choice of song: if you weren't belting out the lyrics in your best girly voice while you were playing, you were totally missing out on the best part!

For the record, I think skipping class to do non-urgent stuff is the weird part.

You know, OutsideSmoker, if I couldn't sing well, I would, but I can, so I held the tune pretty well, but I can't say I wasn't tempted. Especially at the last high part, I thought I might just wake the cat up or something, but I didn't. Now I regret that, dammit.

Steephie, I have all of my credits necessary already (had them before this semester started) and I have a 4.2 GPA. I'll get by.

Steephie, do you consider sleep urgent? That's the cause of most of my class-skipping.

bo, 4.2? That's it? Step it up man.
Skipping class isn't weird. Skipping class to channel Elsa is weird.

I suppose skipping class is a different deal in American college (did I get that right?) than in Dutch high school.

@ghug: that's not an excuse... You can do what I do: sleep in class.

You can't sleep in a lot of smaller classes.
when i was in the education skipping things up to 16 was a big deal, 16-18 you could do it if you were smart, and at college/uni you can miss as many lectures as you want (not necessarily advisable), and the small classes (seminars) you really shouldn't miss - not the end of the world, but if you miss loads you may get in trouble. point is when education is more voluntary, less of a shit is given - professors aren't babysitters.

skipping class is fine for any reason, but i would warn you that regardless of your gpa, it may be bad if your professor notices - your reference will not be as exceptional as it could be - which i guess matters depending on what you want to do after college
the education system/education* oops.

The playing the piano part?

Nah...then again when I skip class it's usually A. Because I'm talking to someone worth skipping a class for or B. I haven't slept and would rather sleep for an hour than want to hit people for an hour while people argue Tennyson's "Ulysses" is about drug addiction or PTSD (not making that up...yes...state schools, folks--gotta love 'em!)

Rocking out to Let it Go on the other hand...

Can someone explain how this song is such a damn earworm for everyone now?

I mean, it has an OK tune, I guess, but I don't know...

Am I the only one who hears that song and thinks it's just...not inspiring and kind of messed up?

Granted I haven't seen a Disney film in years, but from what I gather about this song, Blonde Sister nearly kills Blonde Protagonist, feels bad about said actions, and then goes into "Fuck it, that shit's in the past, let it go, forget confronting my deep psychological and familial issues head-on, LET IT GO and shoot snow and ice because Ice Queen parallel, baby!"

^Vastly oversimplified (no need to point that out), but really...am I the only one thinking this girl/these lyrics should be confronting this issue and NOT saying let it go just yet...seems to me she/they missed a few of the stages of confronting your problems rather than weeeeee icicles? Just saying. lol

Web based diplomacy or face to face???
I got to play f2f for the first time in 25+ years. It was quite enjoyable to have open banter with other players and fully articulate what your thoughts are, but after returning to the game so many years later and now playing on the web, with drop down menus and computer making the moves for you. I think I like the web better. I would however like to play f2f every once in awhile.

What's the community's thought?

Guys, there's too many serious threads here. We need some fun. Let's write a story.
OK, here are the rules.

One by one, we each add on to the story. You can only add one sentence at a time, and each post must be separated by at least one other post. Your sentence must be grammatically correct and within the realm of possibility. If we do well with this one, we might move on to something more outlandish. I'll post a final edit of each paragraph, time permitting, when we get enough. Have fun with it!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/04/17/jews-ordered-to-register-in-east-ukraine/7816951/ The LAST TIME a militant power told Jews they had to "register"...well, how did that turn out? Just get the hell out, guys...the hell with Russia or Ukraine's "ethnic Russians," the Jews don't have to put up with this AGAIN--not with America and Israel. Come here or go there, we don't have to get singled out for persecution AGAIN. (And how do you justify all this, Putin33? Hm?)

Why F Mur?
Sorry if this question has been answered, I couldn't find it anywhere. In the Modern Diplomacy II variant, we have a fleet in Murmansk. But in the variant rules (that we link to!!!) there's supposed to be an army in Murmansk.

Why the change? It seems to me that it just gives Russia less options when Russia is already under a lot of pressure in the first year.
