May GR Release Date?
Any news on when the ghost ratings will be released? I am sure to tumble in June's ratings, so I am looking forward to a brief celebration when May's ratings come out.

Local Elections: Does anyone really give a damn?
Ed Miliband clearly doesn't...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27483541

With friends like Miliband, who needs enemies? But seriously, do local elections matter? And if they do how do we drum up public interest when even our politicians seem to treat them with contempt?

Social Justice issue
So I'm required to give a seminar about a social issue that is present in education. It's supposed to be something I am 'passionate' about... Just wondering what sort of social justice issues would you be passionate about?

Have you ever had the feeling that you threw too much away?
In a metaphorical sense, mostly. So if ended too much when you decided to make a change for example. Not much to add myself, just interested.

Missing yachtsmen - please help
Hey guys. My amazing friend Vicky needs our help. Her cousin (once removed) is one of these missing yachtsmen, and there's every chance they could still be found if there's a concerted effort by the relevant authorities to search for them. On behalf of the families, who are worried sick, please join me in signing this:

"Dr. Rove"--Making Doctors Phil and Who Look Legit By Comparison!
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dr-rove-doubles-down-hillary-203900415.html Funny...I don't recall Republicans seeming too concerned about McCain's skin cancer and swollen gland while he was running against Obama in 2008. Then again, he was a man and a Republican, not a woman and a Democrat. Sexism, partisan politics, or just one more sign Karl Rove needs to have a little lie down? Why choose when you can have all three!

New game - FP, WTA, variant, high GR
Took a little bit of time away but I'd like to play a new game. I'm looking for a high GR game on one of the variants. Fall of America if we have enough people, otherwise AM. 36-46 hr, any pot size, WTA-FP ratings.

Whoa, there's a reliability rating now?
I guess we want a high one of those too for this game.
Yonni (136 D(S))
14 May 14 UTC
No interest? We can go classic if that's what's holding people back.
Partysane (10754 D(B))
14 May 14 UTC
I'd be in for a classic. The reliability rating is still somewhat strange. Force Cancel because of cheaters in a game for example (or tournament shuffles) seem to count as a CD, and taken over CDs do not show up at all in the stats. Missed moves does not seem to work yet and i dont know what that says about the rating overall. But it's a nice idea and under construction i guess. :D

Victorious (768 D)
15 May 14 UTC
i would join in on a Fall of America game. I have 65 D in a day.
I'd join any if it's based on high reliability. I have 100% as of now. Lemme know, but I only have 50 D right now.
i'm up for either
I'm pretty sure I havn't cd'd that many times but meh if it really bothers you that much then check my last like 60 games. However my ghost ranking is 109 this month but it was 73 last month

And, I think Lando is in too. That's 5 fun players, we need 5 more. Where's the usual menagerie of competition? uclabb? KingRishard? Stackleberg? Bueller?

Let's try make it the NA map. You can find Victorious's GR by going to the peak GR page.

4 - Yonni - 36-48hr - Any D
48 - Lando - ? - ?
62 - Dyager - ? - 25 D
109 - Dr. Oc - 36-48hr - 100 D

Aw, shucks. But I really doubt it. There really aren't that many FP games played in the scope of things. The difference between the top and middle really isn't that much (except for The Wiz and MM who seem to be running away with things).

Well, looks like we're struggling to get the numbers for this. Lando and I are both away for a week in June for Bonnaroo so I'll try this again after that. Hopefully that mafia thing is done by then.

So I can't remove the Gold Star I gave myself and I feel like an ass...
With that being said: We have a yet-unused badge that we can give to people and I think we should do something with it. As a community, I'd like us to pick a couple people that we think have significantly contributed to the site and ask kestas to award them a gold star. Is this something people are interested in? Let's use this thread to discuss the idea (or other ways of using the star), rather than discussion potential recipients.

50%+ of People >35 Years Old Know About Holocaust (Why the Jews Need Israel)
http://news.yahoo.com/holocaust-anti-semitism-global-study-154731933.html That is honestly a bit surprising to me...if for no other reason than the fact that WWII is so "popular" in different kinds of media that you'd think that number would be higher. And this is yet another reason, as atheistic as I am, I'll always maintain the Jews need Israel--those are dangerous numbers, and it's good to know the Jews have a state and army with which to defend themselves.
