How do you deal with people who keep fighting you as another player takes SCs and wins?
1st place has 10 SCs, 2nd place had 8, I had 6. 2nd place kept attacking me even as 1st built up to 12, 14, 17 SCs even while I went defensive. 1st place was eating 2nd's centers and 2nd was playing like an idiot.

How do you counter that? I wasn't sure what I could do. The last two turns I went all out desperate attack against 1st place and 2nd didn't even bother and actually grabbed more SCs while I put on a desperate push to stop 1st from winning.

Is it just me, or are you immediately suspicious of newly created anonymous gunboat games with only two people registered? Does that reek of obvious multi?

Rodgers/Brees Combine For 750+ YDs Passing As GB Defeats NO 42-34 (NFL Predictions!)
GREAT opening game!
Fun shootout, 76 D scored, two great QBs...and it came down to the final play of the game! (Though, seriously...WHY RUN IT THERE?!)

So, with the Pack beating the Saints--sorry, Eden--the NFL season is underway...picks?

Question about muting
So, I've finally found myself annoyed enough with someone on the forums to mute them; not saying who as that would defeat the point of the mute, and I had a question:
If I'm playing an anon game with someone that I've muted, are they muted in the anon game too, or can they still chat normally in the game?

Quick question about Mods...
I emailed a Mod a few days ago about a Meta gamer, and I haven't heard back. I understand that Mods are all volunteers and have their own lives/games to attend to, but does anyone know about how long it takes to get a response (on average)? Or if I can expect one at all after they've 'investigated'?

On a side note.. has anyone noticed a stark increase in the occurrence of meta/multi gamers the past couple months??

Hello Fellow Europeans + North Africans and Middle East people

I wonder if any one of you have a tendency to secure your real-life home country? If, for instance you are British in real life and start out as Italy in the game, would you consider sending a fleet to all the way to Britain in the small chance of taking a bite?

Build Your Dream Nation!
Pick any 5 people from history to be your "Founders" and draft your Constitution.
Pick any 1 President/Monarch/Dictator to rule, elected or by military force (must be a different person than one of your Founders) and a mate of the opposite sex to co-rule with them.
Pick any 3 generals to serve as your Heads of the Armed Forces.
And choose 1 person to be your "Diplomatic Master" to deal with other nations.

Having read your posts more carefully, obiwan, I have to strenuously disagree with your argument against the Founding Fathers. Sure, they lived in a different time. The point is, they adapted incredibly well to that time, figured it out, understood human nature, and realized how to proceed best at that time.

To suggest that they would fail to do so again because times have changed is to suggest that they only succeeded then because they were unthinking automatons, programmed to take certain actions, and that those actions fortuitously worked at that time. This, with respect, is laughable. There is every reason to think that Hamilton, e.g., would figure out a new time just as well as that time (something he was INCREDIBLY good at), and govern well now, just as he governed well then. Yes, of course, he'd make different specific decisions.

My Dream Team: Founders: 1. Martin Luther -( author of 1543 educational treatise, " On the Jews and Their Lies." A great thinker to shape the morality of my nation. 2. Richard Wagner -(1813-1883) German composer and essayist. Innovative, noted for his operas. His essays provide valuable insight to this great artist. The inspiration for my nation! 3. Henry Ford -(1863-1947) American Industrialist, known for his evolved, progressive thinking. A perfect nation builder. 4. Heinrich Himmler -(1900-1945) German military commander. A martyr for Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled, and many other low-class unfortunates. Quite possibly, one of the coolest people of all time. 5. Joseph Goebbels -(1897-1945) Reich Minister of Propaganda and a martyr for the same dregs as Himmler. It is probable that he regularly sucked Hitler's cock and licked Hitler's balls and asshole. He also let Hitler fuck his wife, and raised Hitler's love-child(until he murdered the little sweetie). In other words, he was livin' the dream, baby! .

President/First Lady: Edward VIII -(1894-1972) Party animal, who would rather let Herr Hitler sort it all out. Wallis Simpson -(1896-1986) Eddie's squeeze. Same qualities PLUS she'd suck everybody's dick.

Military Leaders: 1. Frederick II -(1712-1786) King of Prussia. Frederick the Great. Historically renowned military asskicker. When your nickname is " the Great", you've done something right. 2. Adolf Hitler -(1889-1945) Savior of the World. Heil Hitler! 3. Julius Caesar -(100 B.C.-15 B.C.) Roman general, statesman, and author. IMHO the greatest general of all time.

Diplomat: Pope Benedict XVI -(1927- ) possessing both German and Vatican citizenship, this wise statesman advocates a return to traditional Catholic values.

I think your list is pretty uninspired, mapleleaf!

No room for Jerry Falwell, Fred Phelps, Benito Mussolini, Dr. Mengele as your Surgeon General, maybe (sorry if I spelt the Doc's name wrong, as we've established, I'm jsut a greedy Jew, not a smart one.)

COME ON...

Picking Wagner and Hitler to try and get to a Jew is like picking the Yankees to win the World Series--

Uninspired and lacking in balsiness...

And from how much you go on about "Fag-naur," and the way you keep sending him and myself so many love notes, really, maple, just come out already...

Just admit it, maple.

If you're gonna troll me for internet forum intercourse, AT LEAST raise the quality of your foreplay, man!
