Appropriate signals in gunboat? Please help.
In a WTA gunboat where there is a player who is in a very dominant position that guarantees them the draw or a solo if two or three powers can't figure out the stalemate positions and there is a power who has one or two SCs left and can be easily taken out without affecting stalemate position, what is the appropriate signal to send in game?

Secret canal in Russia - World Variant
Rumor has it that if you build a fleet in St. Pete or Moscow, they can travel via a secret canal, to the other SC. True? (searched variant rules, could not find)

playdiplomacy is the other popular one and it uses kestas' php platform. But the guy that runs it does so for profit and does not even give kestas credit for programming it. (grrrrr!)

stabbeurfou.org has Edi Birsan amongst its registered players. After my games are done here, and after I've taken a break from Diplo in general for a while, I intend to try it out.

dipbounced.com is an old favorite. A little clumsy trying to navigate until you get used to it, but orders are submitted in free text, so there is an allowance for invalid orders if you play gunboat.

"stabbeurfou.org has Edi Birsan amongst its registered players."

So do we. I played a game with him here; it was wicked intense.
Cachimbo (1181 D)
12 Jan 12 UTC
Had no idea he was on this site as well. I don't believe I've ever had the pleasure.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Jan 12 UTC
I'm pretty sure you'd notice, since his handle is "Edi Birsan" : )

He went through a phase where he was trying out all the different web-based Dip sites. He didn't stay long, but it was great while it lasted. He still creeps around the site; very rarely he'll pop out of nowhere and reply to a post on the Forum.

i play on stabbeurfou, but i don't like it.

They host the nations diplomacy world cup (cause the site has better built in tournament support) but i don't like the interface or the map.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
13 Jan 12 UTC
that said, i know other people who can't stand the webdip map - finding it very hard to figure out what's going on with al those lines and lack of unit colours (all units here are either green or grey...)

so i guess you have to adjust where-ever you go...

wait looked him up. Now I'm gonna get ripped apart for not knowing who he was
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

You don't know who Edi Birsan is. Damnnnnnnn.

At least I looked him up when MM mentioned him a while back.

I did look him up haha and I just got into diplomacy 5 months ago

that's ok, i spent some time today avoiding crowds of silly young people hoping to catch a glimpse of some famous Irish rugby player... it was pathetic, completely...

earlier i had seen the President of Ireland and had to dodge security to get past, but that didn't involve any fan boys. Fawning over Edi seems a bit like the diplomacy equivalent of stupid irish teens, and their complete failure to appreciate the important things...

still, you actually get to play edi/mm

Just signed up for stabbeurfou. I'm completely lost. Gotta say, webdip is the best I've tried so far. I tried playdiplomacy, but I didn't like how live games require you to pay, and clicking on the territory to move doesn't work well with my slowly dying trackpad

Liberals create income inequality
If you have a brain and take the time to read the George Will column I cut and pasted you will easily understand how the modern welfare state conceived in Europe and imported to America by the Left has exploded the income inequality liberals lunatics hopelessly try to blame on the Free Market.

I already tried this on a Normal Map with just Star Trek...and was eliminated first (damn you, double-crossing Vulcans, how dare yu stab me, even if it WAS the logical thing to do!) but it seemed to go well: how about a World match (low bet, as it's World and it can be more accessible that way) with races from different Sci-Fi series? BORG vs. DALEKS! KLINGON EMPIRE vs. GALACTIC EMPIRE! CYBERMEN vs. CYLONS! FEDERATION vs. BABYLON 5 PEOPLE (yeah, don't knwo their name....!)

Logic puzzle: 4 is universal
The idea is that there is a pattern or set our rules by which every number is assigned another number and if you continue to apply this pattern you will eventually reach the number 4. For example: 20 is 6, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is 4, thus 4 is universal. The object of the puzzle is to figure out the pattern. Reply with any number and I will show how it becomes 4. If you figure it out, please post an example to show you know it instead of posting the answer.
