Making a more official sounding thread to attract more attention.
Looking for a few more students, TAs, and a Prof for new SOW and Study Group games. More details and current participants within.

A story to get you going.

What do you guys think? Is chlorine gas too archaic and ineffective to care about, or is the use of chlorine gas by ISIL significant/pertinent to the issue?

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/american-football/29728155 " Chancellor George Osborne says the UK government will support plans for a London-based NFL team"
For all I know, Osborne could be blowing smoke...but even if it didn't (doesn't) happen--suggestions, real or for fun, for a London NFL team name? :p

I'm just wondering, I realize having my name on the internet isn't the best idea but if it something that needs to be added to the site software I guess I'm fine.

Are you a rifleman? I recently decided to get into the hobby of shooting, problem is, my scope isn't zero, so I'm not getting any luck. Any tips on how to zero a scope effectively and cost effective? Thanks!

Yo. I've been semi-retired for a while now, but I wanna play some games. One will be strictly highest GR, and the second will be anyone, witH preference to people who seem fun. Both will be semi-anon, WTA, full press. 36 or 48 hours, full press, so state your preference in the signups.

I like 'em

Does anyone know of some good hunting/carving knives that are both cheap and reliable? I have a Buck Flashpoint but it's wearing out beyond the point that I can use it in extreme conditions.

And so we come to mid-season, with the Cowboys, Chargers, Cardinals and Broncos riding high, the Saints and Bears both plummeting to earth, and a bunch of teams stuck in the middle. We kick off the week tonight with a Thursday match which should actually be good for a change, the Chargers and Broncos in a clash for the lead in the AFC West. The Lions and Falcons play in London, Bengals/Ravens, Panthers/Seahawks...pick 'em!

This anon, WTA, classic 3-day phase game is looking for another Germany. Despite one NMR, the position is good, with lots of options.

When you see her in an interview do you instantly smile, she is a gift.

Does anyone else find it extremely annoying that 7 of the top 9 teams are in the same division (and thus only play each other?)

Let me know if you like to play

Under what circumstances does a person request a ban? Or is this some version of "he was asking for it!"?

Let's celebrate the man who ran over a 3-month-old child.

New players take heed: Sometimes is is advantageous to disband dislodged units in Autumn. You can rebuild them where they may be more useful. This is particularly useful in the Modern Diplomacy map where all SCs are considered home SCs.

Does anyone else think this case goes a bit far?

Starting to believe this is actually a question.

Suppose we could remove the 143million tonnes of lasted from the oceans. What would that do to the sea level? I imagine its small but how small?

I'm going to make a cat game but I'm going to let you guys decide what kind:
game type (1st pick Classic) message rules (1st pick Full Press) points scheme (1st pick PPSC) phase length (1st pick 36 Hours) definitely Anon.

I was wondering if there is a mechanism, by which players are selected for certain powers. I got 4x times Turkey and 3x times Austria and i joined the game 3rd to last. I am also new here and there are other players who had less points when they joined. An explanation would be helpful, because Í do not believe in bad luck here.

http://news.yahoo.com/exhibition-of-syria-torture-photos-shows--depravity--of-assad-regime-220711714.html With all the talk concerning whether Israel and/or Hamas should/will face war crimes (I think there's a case to be made both Netanyahu AND Hamas leadership should face charges), we have here what's being called the "smoking gun" for Assad's actions. But does the threat of a warm crimes charge really mean anything? If not, how can it be made to "mean" more?

Anybody up for a 100 point classic game? http://webdiplomacy.net/index.php
PM me if you want to play. I'm looking for very good players.

Hi, I made a donation. Who do I contact to have the reward?

Thanks :)
