CD France in great position
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=9257

6 centers, currently the second-most of any country; secure borders and room for growth. Great game for a beginner to learn the ropes, or for anyone who enjoys playing France and has ~45 points to spare.

It can cover the world
With a thick sheet of black and white.
It can sway the minds
Changing what’s wrong and what’s right.
It can start many wars
Stronger then a sword could ever be
It can show the truth
Pulling off the wool so you can see
What is it?


that's going into the march edition, you can find the current one at www.tinyurl.com/cavagazette and click Readers Challenge

For all you lazy bones heres the febuary riddle

I was framed as a murder, a born killer from the start…

They say I have no compassion, no love, no heart…

I try to defend myself, but my cries fall on deaf ears…

What acts of sympathy and caring must I do to make it clear?

I’m not here to hurt you, so don’t go run and hide.

I would much rather be with you, lying by your side.

What am I?

btw, these relate to the actual articles so that last one may be harder if you didn't read the paper

The first one has to be the pen.

The second one I'm not so clear on...

They could be a couple of things. Its often best if you make it so only one solution is possible.
xcurlyxfries (0 DX)
09 Mar 09 UTC
first isn't a pen, and I frankly can't figure out anything else that would fit into each. I put some key words that show what it is but covered them pretty well I guess. I'll let you know when you got it right.


btw, a little hint for the first. Spanish-American War
Onar (131 D)
09 Mar 09 UTC
Is the first a book/newspaper?
I haven't a clue on the second.
ara (100 D)

Here I was thinking the first could be an ideal.
Is the second one some kind of animal?

second is a disease?
Katsarephat (100 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
I was going to suggest "morality" for the first, though ideology might actually be better.
lulzworth (366 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
Black and white, the first one is clearly newspaper. Given "Spanish-American War" hint, it's pretty obvious. Remember your 11th grade American History class? Yellow journalism. The Lusitania sunk by Spaniards!!!

The second one I'm sure is clever but the answer isn't apparent.
xcurlyxfries (0 DX)
10 Mar 09 UTC
first is newspaper :)


can COVER the world


also the first media driven war was the span american war with hearts and pulitzer

and ara, the second was a pit bull as one of the stories wrote about the pit bull myths on how it was always persecuted for being aggressive, when that isn't a genetic trait.
Toby Bartels (361 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
Aw, I like the pit-bull one. They do get rather unfairly picked on (and I include those who train them to be aggressive too!).

What has four legs, six pockets and if it fell out of a tree it could kill you?

And another quick one...kinda crosswordy.

Produces the most azaleas?

Toby Bartels (361 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
An elephant wearing … let's see …a shirt with a breast pocket and a pair of blue jeans with four big pockets and a little coin pocket at the top of the front right pocket.

@Toby - It's good, but it's not right,Try again.
Captain Dave (113 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
Maniac - that's clearly a snooker table. Or, if you're American, a pool table. But the snooker table has definitely got a greater chance of killing you as it's much bigger!
Xapi (194 D)
10 Mar 09 UTC
Do snooker tables have pockets in them too?

Meta-Gaming
I don't think anyone would argue that meta-gaming doesn't exist on the site, though we might argue it's prevalence. As a community we've discussed the whole "name and shame" thing, but there is no formal system for preventing or discouraging this, and I'd like to open a discussion on ideas. I'll start it off with: A permanent record of those confirmed? Like a black-list?

Discuss.

Can I get some tips for England?
I've said in other topics how I don't like playing as this country. Starting out is hard to do for me, being that there's so many choices of what to do, and you have to rely on fleets heavily.

When should I build fleets? What are the best territories to take? etc.

Does everyone have problems with the message board?
I can't stand trying to read something on the message board when i can only read the first letter or so because it is covered up by the map. Does this happen to everyone, and if so shouldn't we talk to the site designer?
Thanks
