diplomacy dislodge question.

Yeah quick question.
Lets say you have countries A and B.
If they each have one piece attempting to move into an empty territory but during that turn, Country A gets dislodged, does the standoff still occur or does B move into its desired territory? Thanks in advance.

What's the name of a picture/movie that changes and transitions smoothly in a loop?

So what I mean is that you don't really notice it's a loop unless you're paying close attention because the end of the loop fits perfectly on the start of the loop. There's no strong feeling of repetition. Just a 'background' continuously moving.
Just looking for the word for such a thing. I saw one quite a while ago and thought I could use one of those in a design, but now I finally have the time to do something with it, I forgot what it's called :-(
Help me webdip!

Is it normal for people to sign up for very slow games (10 days/phase) and stay quiet?

I am relatively new to webDip. From the little experience I have here, I get the impression that it is not uncommon for very slow games to be pretty quiet. I've had no replies at all from some parties, even though they are giving orders. Is this usual? I thought very slow games would have lots and lots of diplomatic talk.

Control active game play time option ?

Hello,

What if it was possible to control the time allowed for game play, such as, "game only active between the hours of X & Y". Then shorter phase games could be played more easily and not at strange hours of the night. Thoughts?

NFL Pick 'em Week 12: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...eh, Buffalo? ;)

So, with Buffalo's game postponed until Monday (and moved to Detroit as, um, Buffalo's sort of buried under snow) and the Raiders having won their first game of the season--and in more than a year!--vs. the rival Chiefs, we enter Week 12. The Lions and Patriots meet in a big clash. Rams//Chargers is an intriguing match-up. Cardinals/Seahawks up in Seattle, and Ravens/Saints on a suddenly-crucial Monday Nighter. Week 12... pick 'em!

"Merkel runs out of patience with Putin"

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/merkel-runs-out-of-patience-with-putin/article21712671/

Best line in the article:
"Obama is a very weak politician"

I cannot judge the quality of the above paper, but the quoted headline is surely a fine example of journalistic workmanship.
Personally I refuse to read such articles. They tend to defeat the point of journalism.

Who doesn't run out of patience with Putin

Putin is on a safe-destruct trajectory, the smartest thing would be to let him.

Safe destruct? What's that?

I think Germany criticizing Russia after the Gazprom cozyness when the German/Russian relationship was good over Gas and Iraq ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schr%C3%B6der#Gazprom ) is a bit .. well I'm not sure but either German politicians were badly wrong or badly .. misled (if we're being generous).

I guess you could argue that gas and the current Ukraine situation are totally different issues, but I think that'd be a tough argument to make.
Or perhaps you could say it's vindictive to look back and say "well the US said you shouldnt have been so cozy with Russia".

I hope German politicians from now on will keep the long term picture in mind for everyone's sake (and thankfully lots of other natural gas is coming on stream at the moment, or Germany might not be so vocal)

Gerhard Schröder was, and still is, an opportunistic cunt. His actions after he lost the chancelorship to Merkel were in no way in line with the political aims (? targets / goals) that were supposed to be reached. Even before the election... which is one point why he lost so bad, and the main reason why he is widly dispised here. Actually... being compared to Schröder is kind of an insult around here...

plong42 (341 )
22 Nov 14 UTC

I agree - but Schröder's misled political activities are not the point of the thread.

The OP referred to a headline in the style of "A runs out of patience with B".
This wording describes the relationship of a parent and a child.

I am not sure if this style is common for "The Globe and Mail". But it surely fails to meet basic journalistic standards if this headline was used outside of a commentary column.

oscarjd74 (100 )

At least the OP stayed in the spirit of those "basic journalistic standards" by taking the sentence "He believes Obama is a very weak politician." and quoting it as "Obama is a very weak politician."

Note that (1) Joanna Slater, the author of the article, writes that (2) Stefan Meister, a Russia expert at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin, said that (3) Putin believes Obama is weak. Hearsay anyone? I guess we should now all be mighty confident in knowing exactly what Putin thinks about Obama.
