£112,000,000 in the bank. How do you spend it?
So, you win £112,000,000 on next weeks Euromillions lottery.

What do you do with it all? How would you spend it and would you keep yourself anonymous?

Any St. Louis-area players interested in face-to-face?
Face-to-face is the game the way it's meant to be played, and I've got a board but no players!

So, if you're in the St. Louis area and are interested in playing, reply to this thread, or send me a PM.

switching players?
Apologies if this is on the FAQ already, but I didn't see it. We're just starting a game (ID=39473) and have one player who signed up but in the end may not be able to make the time commitment - not certain yet but haven't heard from him since the signup. Fortunately he's Italy. We're going to pause while we make sure he's still in, but if not, is there a way to let someone else take over? It's still Spring '01, and his first/only online game. Thanks for any advice!

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: It's A Miracle! (Wait, Should We Think It So?)
Tomorrow I'll be discussing in my weekly "Philosophy of Religion' class the issue of Miracles and how this pertains to God--but come to think of it, I have a question I'd rather ask and adress instead of the old "Is it or is it not a miracle/Does a miracle prove God?" schpiel. MY question, and I intend to debate in class tomorrow as well--even if they HAVE happened, SHOULD we consider Miracles/a protecting God as real, or is it better to live without that idea of a "protector?"

Sitter possibly needed
I'm going out of town tonight till Sunday. I think it won't be a problem but it's possible that 1 or 2 games might need a sitter depending on the clock. If you're interested in making one move for me in one or 2 games then send me a PM. I'll check the clock tonight and if needed I'll send you a password and game details.

36-72 hour turns, anon, small pot (under 100 D).
Please post your GR, preference of turns, preference of pot if interested.

Critique this fun new opening I stumbled upon today in a gunboat...
Italian opening I call the Alpine Tripleback, after the inspiration for it, the Alpine Doubleback. It's a Lepanto that delays the convoy for a turn by feinting toward France, landing the army in Syria in S1903.

I'm quite new on this server so I don't have enough points yet, but if we do it 900 buyin instead, I'll gladly join.

I'm giving this game 10 days to get going. Four people signed up for Agent K's 2244 point buy-in game, so I'm hopeful to get this one going. If this one gets canceled, I will start up a 900 point buy-in game and hopefully that will do the trick... though I often do things in twos, so maybe you should start up a 900 point anonymous buy-in game and maybe I'll join yours?
Julien (2065 D)

@MM - we've played so many games lately that I'll delay joining the 1500 D game - but count me as a backup in case you still need players at the end.

MM - I have the points, but I'm willing to bet this game will end with a 4+ way draw - everyone is going to be extremely risk averse, and it's probably going to be more cutthroat than I want to deal with.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
05 Oct 10 UTC
Crazy, I PM'd you.
BESM, there's a 1,500 point buy-in, so a 10,500 point pot.
dave, yes, you are correct.

MadMarx (36299 D(G))

The title of this game references two things:

1. To throw 1,500 D into a single game, you've got to be a little Mad.
2. When a "long-time" ally stabs me good and bloody, I tend to go suicidal on him/her.

PS - strat, you must confirm you've joined the big pot game before I join your gunboat, if my game fills up first then I'll pass on your game for now, until we get another big pot game going at least.

Best game set available
I am lucky enough to have a copy of the really good Avalon Hill version with the metal pieces, but now I notice that they've stopped publishing it and the new AH version sucks. Pure cardboard!

Thoughts on getting them to republish the old version or a new, rockin' one? I think we need a version where every country has armies/fleets cast of different elements. Chromium, copper, iron, aluminum, tin, bismuth, and zinc.
