Radicals vs ?

A recent conversation made me look once more at what i think of politics...

Also i have a clear idea in my head if what a radical is, but what is their opposite? A non-radical? A (small c) conservative? A compromiser?

Site Issue

Hey everyone - our DNS host has gone offline, which means that some users won't be able to get to the site (depending on whether or not their local DNS server has cached webdip's address).

I'm not sure how long this will go on for, but I've paused adjudication until it is fixed.

Geomagnetic Storm

If you are anywhere in the northern third of the United States or Canada, the aurora should be very visible tonight with clear (and dark, outside of cities) skies due to an ongoing geomagnetic storm. Check it out if you can.

Password protected games

So passwords should make sure only invited players join a game ... but sometimes the gametitle gives a very strong hint towards what the password might be... anyone else sometimes tempted to test if a hunch is right? And I wonder about how the mods would react to someone sneaking into a private game by guessing the password ...

Sevyas (973 )

... and also, how would you react to a stranger sneaking that way into one of your private games?

Seems to me if the game title hints at what the password is and someone guesses it, that's on the one who formed the game. Not the one who figured out the password.

assholes are only allowed to be assholes on the forum. That's like 1/2 of what you need to know on this site

Sevyas (973 )
22 Jun 15 UTC

While I accept your oppinion, I do wonder how it is relevant to the asked question jy. Do you mean to say that only an asshole would sneak into a game that way? If someone would enter one of my games like that and would not NMR or CD, then I would be happy to play against an unexpected challenger

"...allowed to be assholes on the forum."

JY, the site rules explicitly say that you're not allowed to be an asshole in the forum.

Sev: We've been asked to remove players who snuck in to games before. If seven friends are trying to start a semi-anon game together, it sort of defeats the point if it's six of them and one random.

In general, the mods are here to make sure that everyone has a good time, games are fair (ie no surprise out-of-game collusion or other cheating) and that lots of games get played. Generally we'll support users trying to set up a game with their friends (or games with other special rules, as long as they don't violate other site rules).

ATC: I totally get your point, and I guessed that would probably bee the mods position. That's why I do not actually try to enter a pw protected game when I am not invited. Just saying, it is sometimes damn tempting to want to check if my guessing would have been right ...
i.e. gameID=163235 was one of those tempting targets ;-)

You're right, the answer is obviously oil ;)

"JY, the site rules explicitly say that you're not allowed to be an asshole in the forum."

Sorry, but that sounds like "kill the bringer of the message". JY has mirrored only. Password protected games means that the prospective player has to ask for the password by the maintaining player. An asshole should also publicly called to be an asshole, even if it isn't very nice and hard words. In diplomacy there are some... and who don't wish to be so, the one should check his behavior.

@Sevyas you wouldn't have guessed. Password was completely different than title.

Average fleets to solo?

I'm thinking of pulling some stats on the number of fleets that each country usually has in a solo (I think Tru did something similar a while back, but we've had a lot more games finished since then). But, before I do that, let's argue about it on the forum!

Who wants to guess at the average number of fleets each country has in a WTA solo?

Gun Boat for Beginners

Just wondering if there are ways to cooperate without talking? Does anyone ever throw support by guessing and then establish alliances without talking? I am in a game where I have not attacked one front, and they have not attacked me, but no one expects help so there is no planning. Just wondering if there are some patterns or codes people use... or does that defeat the point of playing gunboat?

A GAME Site..,so I am told...

So I have had a few run-ins with the mods. Fair enough...I deservewhat they give me. But I am told that this is PRIMARILY A GAMING SITE, and that my negative forum behavior negatively impacts the GAME SITE. SO......I have noticed that there are a few forum *INSTIGATORS* - FREQUENT FORUM POSTERS who DO NOT PLAY GAMES. Who is with me that the privilege of using the FORUMS should be tied to PLAYING GAMES ON THIS GAME SITE???

Linguistic Harbingers of Betrayal

So I just saw this interesting paper analyzing 249 online diplomacy games, with around 145,000 messages. They're studying which linguistic cues (number of messages, sentiment, politeness, etc) predict upcoming betrayal. Best part: they're going to make all the data available online! http://vene.ro/betrayal/ and http://vene.ro/betrayal/niculae15betrayal.pdf
