How bad is a beer and approximately a bottle of wine on one evening?
Judging by what others at the party talked about I thought it was reasonable (although a bit more than I was going for, I really liked the wine...), but yet others seem to think it's quite too much. There were people more drunk than me, but I won't base my drinking habits on what others do..
It was the first time I 'really' drank, probably worth mentioning.

@WardenDresden: Well, I haven't drunk anything more than a couple of sips on an evening before that and I haven't drunk anything since, so there's certainly no 'real' problem I would say, but I'm still having trouble seeing why so many people seem to have issues with me getting myself informed by people who apparently prefer posting a reply on this thread as opposed to doing something else in that same time, because otherwise they probably wouldn't post in this thread.

That's a long sentence.

Other.than that, I think I've gotten pretty much all information I could possibly get out of this thread, so thanks pretty much everyone who reacted.

Yes, that includes WardenDresden. I appreciate people sharing their opinions with me, especially if they think I'm doing something wrong.

Steephie's sentence to WardenDresden reminds me of this...

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

@steephie Did I say any of this was a "problem"? Either with the drinking or the thread. I think it was a bit silly,and the only reason I felt compelled to say something in this thread is because I've noticed it since Sunday and I only bothered to read any of it today.

Regardless the thread asked for opinions, and I've shared what I intend to share. Though I don't think anyone can defend the idea of trying to understand alcohol amounts through mass and density calculations instead of volume. ;)

@Draugnar: If you mean to say something with that, you might want to say it in a less confusing way. I know it's a quote from a writer you love, and I know which, but it's still confusing :)
Much like the crowd in the book, I'm not entirely certain wether you are making a compliment...

@WardenDresden: Fair enough, I suppose it wasn't entirely fair to direct that message at you.

If you know the volume and the density, it really doesn't matter wether you convert to grams, I just did that because the page said 10 grams so converting didn't require googling the volume of alcohol in a standard drink...

Steephie - Read J.R.R. Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring. It's a quote said by Bilbo at his eleventy first birthday party.

"If you know the volume and the density, it really doesn't matter wether you convert to grams, I just did that because the page said 10 grams so converting didn't require googling the volume of alcohol in a standard drink..."

Steephie, you're very confused. You *don't* know the density of different drinks, so it very much matters. You, do, however, know the density of alcohol, so just convert 10g to 12.5mL and move on with your life.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
10 Jul 14 UTC
The volume and density of alcohol I meant. The volume and mass of the rest of the drink are not mentioned in the formula, only how much alcohol is in it. Wether I use 10g or 12.5mL of alcohol to define the Standard Drink doesn't change the outcome at all, assuming your 12.5mL is accurate. That's all I'm saying.

I do move on with my life, I check webdip on my mobile when I need to wait.

Your biggest problem was the confusion of grams (or ml) per ounce being in the 200 range. When you are off by an order of magnitude, it will really screw up your calculations.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
10 Jul 14 UTC
I wasn't using ounces until you started mentioning them though, so I think I did it right the first time :-)
Draugnar (0 DX)

It isn't worth going back to look I'm detail, but you said something about the numbers not even being close, so you had something wrong.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

From the top of my head that'd be that the damian's 4 Standard Drinks wasn't even close to my 6 Standard Drinks.

First Game!
Hello all, I plan on joining my first game. I've mainly used the site to read the forums so now I need advice. Is it better to join a random pre-made game or should I request players from the forum so as to ensure it is a good game. If the latter, then if you are interested please post here. Ideally I would like to start the game next week. Anon, WTA, and a medium buy-in. Look forward to it!

Design Flaw in the Global Variant
I have now encountered several times a design flaw in the global variant in that fleets may not pass between Armenia and Moscow (which has a Black Sea Coastline bordering Armenia); neither can they support an action between them. Armies may move and support unimpeded; but fleets may not. What is to be done about that? Game Masters, please respond.

Look at this sick bastard. This wealthy american paid thousands to corrupt gamekeepers to be allowed to hunt down and shoot a triceratops in the wild.

The War of Tumblr versus 4Chan
Anyone else watching the war of Tumblr vs. 4Chan play out? It's getting heated and somewhat illegal. Then again, it may not and it's all a bluff from both sides. But if it is true then there must be a lot of hackers with free-time and no need to gain any monetary value.

So why do I keep playing?

We all have a love/hate relationship with Diplomacy (maybe not all, but enough of us) so why are we so compelled to keep playing? What is the addiction?
