A new cold war with Russia

Why is everybody being so hysterical about a new cold war with Russia? I remember the last one as being relatively quiet, stable and resulting in a colossal and bloodless victory for the west taking form in the '89-'92 period. Wouldn't a second one teach them a lesson about who's boss?

ethical question

would lying about whether a move is possible be outside the standards of what is and isn't okay with regard to diploming? say a person is concerned about another player making a move that is impossible, should I tell him it is, or benefit from his not knowing?

Final Thread for the 2014 Webdiplomacy Tournament

One game has yet to start and it will start today when the final player has informed me they will join.

On my profile page I have included the link to all 3 current boards. I have also posted the standings for players in the tournament. I will update my profile each round to show updated standings throughout the tournament.

I'd like to be in the SOW, but if not then I'd like to be in the study group.

Just as a notice to potential students. You must be in contact with your TA's on a relatively good basis. And "listen to them". Otherwise it just defeats the point of this whole exercise. If you tell me "I'm going to do x this year" and I ask why, I expect to hear a good answer from you. If I tell you that's a stupid idea, don't do it (and here's why), then you probably shouldn't do it.

I'll be watching this one, but I won't be offering to help out. My last two experiences as a TA included one student who CD'd and another who just didn't listen to anything I said. Just remember that the TA's are putting just as much time into this as you are.

Goldfinger +1. I ran into this problem last time. As a TA, we are taking our time to help, and for students to not listen or dismiss, makes wanting to give that time hard

Study group sounds cool I guess. I didn't know that was a thing. I asked about joining because I know for a fact I'm not as good as the TAs, but I knew I'd played more than the other students so this seems like a nice middle ground. If you wanted us to pick countries too then I guess you can give me whatever is left or make it random. I don't have a preference.

Well anyone that has played with me knows that I'm very active, I'm also very excited about advancing my game. Once again, thanks to everyone who is setting this up and putting the time in to make it happen!

NFL Pick 'em Week 7: ...In Which We Try to Avoid Ties! ;)

We'll get this one out a day earlier so we can include Thursday Night Blowouts (er, Football) as well. SO. Fresh off their tie, the Panthers travel to Lambeau to play the Packers, while the Bengals take on the Colts in a battle of AFC heavyweights. The disappointing Saints take on the surprising Lions, How 'Bout them Cowboys vs. the Giants in Big D and--yes!--my beloved, glorious Red and Gold have another prime-time game...49ers vs. the Broncos on SNF! Week 7...Pick 'em!

My Life

You guys probably don't care about me very much, and probably didnt even notice when I was here, but this post is going to act as my retirement of sorts. I only played for about 6 months, but I was active in the Mafia games. Anyway, I am now in college, and have a girlfriend now, so I really dont have time for this site and just wanted to say goodbye to you all. This site has really helped me out as a closet nerd, so thanks to you all.
