The best bit about it is that apparently the national anthem of England is Jerusalem. I feel a stirring whenever I hear that played.

Draw Scoring System
See below.

I recently played in a f2f tournament where the draw scoring system was "sum of squares". In the event of the draw, your fraction of the pot is determined by taking the square of your center count divided by the sum of the squares of all nations' center counts. This method gives more points to larger nations, and can give significantly more points the the largest nation if there are 6 other weak powers as compared to 3 moderate powers. It also doesn't make it so rewarding to eliminate a small nation before the draw, as the small nation will get a small (maybe even < 1%!) share of the pot.

I like the "sum of squares" draw scoring system better than the current draw scoring system. I am interested in others opinions, so please comment.

Interesting. Another alternative would be to always use PPSC scoring rules if the game ends in a draw.

Given the usually-lengthy time horizons at work here (as opposed to the much shorter ones in a F2F game), I'm not sure it's quite as necessary on this site. But it is an interesting idea.
"Sum of squares" seems like it would lead to fewer solos and more draws. Draws are a necessary evil. To me, it does not sound like a desirable system.

I disagree with that, HM. Seems to me that it's easier (though never easy) to solo when there are more players on the board, not fewer.

Additionally, with more incentive for large countries to eliminate small countries, smaller countries will have more incentive to throw the game to protect themselves.

Gunboat game
In the upcoming gunboat game named "Gunboat Sat Night", 4 of the players know each other. However, we are in separate places and do not have predetermined alliances. We are only creating a public game because it is very difficult to gather 7 players.

Why do people with kids
Always talk about their kids? I've been troubled by this as many of my friends have had kids and subsequently have become very boring people. Are any other child-free adults around here experiencing the same problem?

Best strategy for Italy?
Unfortunately for me, I seem to play Italy quite often in my games. The first supply center Italy gets is Tunis, but what do you do after that? I searched some strategies for Italy on the internet an there were many conflicting viewpoints. One person argued that making an alliance with Austria and playing subtle, patient moves until you have an opportunity to back stab France was the best. What do you think? Is this true or not?

koolaid story
When I was 10. I invited my best friend Matt over to spend the night. We wanted something to drink and luckily my mother bought 150 packs of powder koolaid. We had to of consumed about 8 gallons koolaid. We had the biggest sugar rush ever. I guess a a certain point we both past out. We woke up the next morning and my room looked like a bar after a fight. Matt and I had a headache that nobody should ever had. My mom walked in and laugh. she asked" Did you guys get koolaid drunk?"

Nuclear Diplomacy?
Would it be possible to make a balanced game of Diplomacy that included nuclear missiles? They add a whole other layer to typical geopolitics and I think they could do the same for diplomacy.
