"Foolish...Voting For Liberals. It's What Kids Do." The GOP Targets Students
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110308/ts_yblog_theticket/ahead-of-the-2012-campaign-states-debate-voting-rights

So to expel their image of being stuffy old white males in flanel suits, the genius GOP has decided to try and eliminate same-day voter registration and voting and limit college voters in other ways...nice...

More judge-like game settings?
I really like the web-based driven Diplomacy game play but are no fan of the handling of deadlines and the high occurrence of no ordering and civil disorders. Has anyone attempted to bring a more judge-like approach to game settings, deadlines and grace periods to this project? Anything up and running out there or does anyone having work in progress? I'd rather join forces if anyone is working on it than starting on duplicate work,

Designing my final syllabus
So I'm in the process of designing my last syllabus before they cut off my funding, and I wanted to do something different this time. What cases do you think would most interest 18-20 year olds?

I finally won 2 games !!!
I have been playing webdip here for almost a year, and I had finished 48 games not being able to win any of them. Then in the last hour I won not 1 but 2 games. gameID=47420 and gameID=51611. I think I finally found a strategy that works for me.

FTF game in Melbourne
It has come to my attention that there are a few people here who are from Melbourne, Australia. Anyway, being completely and utterly free this Labor Day weekend (read: no one wants to hang out with me), I would like it if people wanted to meet up and play a game of Diplomacy. I know that it is a little late, so if a later date was organised, I'm fine with that.

8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan, tsunamis, aftershocks
CNN livestream: http://www.justin.tv/live_news#/w/948725776/18
I know, CNN sucks, but this is the best stream I've found so far.
Al Jazeera's livestream has it too: http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/
If you know anyone in Japan, or anywhere on the Pacific coast in Asia you might want to give them a call and let them know. Tsunamis are still moving and there may be more aftershocks in the region.

forced draw conditions?
Say you have a (purely hypothetical, of course) situation where 2 countries are holding a stalemate line against a 3rd in a gunboat game, and the 3rd country is refusing to draw.

Is there some number of moves with no change to the line after which the mods will force a draw?

Soros v LCTM, or how I learned to love the quants...
So I've been reading Niall Ferguson and his view on George Soros when LCTM begged for a bail out and it got me thinking, if the worlds decisions can be divided into gut or analysis, what kind of diplomacy player am I?

I'm interested to know if players on webdip would evaluate their styles as a gut player or an analytical player?

I send Goldfinger to fortknox to raid his retirement accounts and move my orcs to Whitehall.

10 Mar 11 UTC
Does Goldfinger have the support of Pussy Galore for that move? Because otherwise, i'm pretty sure it bounces.
Draugnar (0 DX)
10 Mar 11 UTC
It doesn't matter if it bounces. The distraction is enough for my orcs to set off the GoldenEye device and crash the Bank of England's computers right after I siphon off 100s of billions of pounds. And the resulting accusation of having a German national on US soil will trigger a war that provides the perfect kick off story for my media group's new satellite news network.

Draug, draug, draug... I would expect YOU of all the players to know one of the base rules of Ankara Crescent: The James Bond Cannon Rule: Confusion or mixing of multiple James Bond film ideas results in a forfeiture of moves for the entire year and requires the persecutor to sing (with the dancing movements) "I'm a little teapot" for all opponents to watch.

Now, if you wouldn't mind taking that nasty little Goldeneye out of here... it's causing a funky stench in my classic Goldfinger.
Draugnar (0 DX)
10 Mar 11 UTC
I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my handle. Here is my spout.

Oh wait. The idea of using the GoldenEye device to "nuke" the banks computers borrowed heavily on the movie of Goldfinger where GF was going to irradiate all of Fort Knox so his gold would be worth more. So the only real mix I did was adding in a touch of war from Tomorrow Never Dies. But the good Bond villains (and who better to be a good Bond villain than an orc) would maximum the return on his investment so that if even one part of his plan failed, he'd still make money.

The Situation (100 D)
10 Mar 11 UTC
Voting Pause.
I am not currently in a game awaiting players to pause, nor am I complaining about a past game. This just struck me as somewhat impractical. A Pause vote, in my opinion should be a majority vote. I'm sure countless situations have occured where a small number of players refuse to vote pause when a legitimate reason is given. Pausing, as far as I'm aware, does not affect the outcome of the game.
