At prompting from semck, I went digging through the forum archives.

so i haven't much enjoyed working. so maybe i'll go back to school. but i don't feel like paying anything for it. also i don't feel like contacting people for application references. isn't there some place, like the philippines or something where i can go to school for like $2 a year or something. without providing references?

36 hour turns, descent bet, should hopefully be a good game. If we could get three more to jump in, that would be awesome: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=82651

Does anyone here know of any good sites for country-by-country strategies for the World Diplomacy variant? A quick Google search yielded nothing, but I find myself getting crushed by larger empires mid-game almost every time I play, and I'd like to know how to fix this.

THEY EAT BARBARIANS ALIVE DOWN THERE. DON'T FUCK WITH ME

So after a few weeks on this site I posted a forum thread about reliability issues after stabbing, possibly even carrying on outside the game. Months later, I still haven't really stabbed anyone, except in situations where I had already been stabbed myself.

I would really like to play games with more talented players than the usual bet15 noobs. I don´t want to seem arrogant, but I want to test my personal skills. I played lots of gunboat games to train my technique, and now I am thinking of joining a game bet 100 with anonymous players. How do I know those aren´t cheaters in there. Maybe I am paranoid, but this specific size of bet seems quite suspicious to me. Can anybody help me how to find adequate games?

Hey guys, in the fall we ran a pretty successful (except for two no-shows at the end) fantasy football league, so why not try it again for baseball? League will be on Yahoo (if someone recommends something different like ESPN, we're welcome) and size will be how many people we can gather.

Geo, any update?

In order to cut out the ambiguity that presently seems to exist about official action in unofficial variants, I suggest the following rule change (while still protesting any pretended recognition of such a policy under the present rules):

Why do some people have rankings and some not?

the bolshoi manner was interviewing for a new groom of the stool and the applicant claimed to have some kind of mathematical aptitude. i gave him this problem just to mess with him and he seemed to not give me much of an answer. is he qualified? for some reason this position seems to have a high attrition rate.

In a previous thread of obi's I said that I wished I could go back and switch my major to economics. I looked today and lo and behold, I still have time, so I'm doing it. What are some generally useful areas of study?

Looking to play my first game. Let me know!

This game was unfortunately cancelled, so no one will be able to see what happened in it (is this a flaw in the system?).
I thought I'd make this thread anyway in case people wanted to know who was who, or give a EoG for as far as the game got. I think it was good before the extended pause...

I love languages and linguistics, so I'm starting a thread about it in the hope that at least one thread here won't derail into a trollfest of shit-flinging. What languages do you speak or want to learn? What languages do you find interesting or beautiful? Are there any autodidacts here, sitting at home with Mandarin flashcards?

With the new abortion laws being discussed, what kind of limitations do we think should be enforced? Should it be, for example, legitimate to use abortion for reasons of IQ or gender? Discuss.

I know that none of you like me very much.
I also know that people who hate you are typically the best editors.
And so, I have a poem for you all to read....and I would like some constructive feedback, if such a thing exists on this site:

Likely.

But I just have to know what the answer to this Stats question is from my test...the other 11 problems I went through fine, and then THIS problem I puzzled over for 45 minutes solid, until everyone had long left over half an hour ago, and I just had to punt (I TOLD YOU...I'm just atrocious at math!) :)

...Political Science?
I'll be trying to double-major in English and PoliSci when I transfer this fall, and was just curious what those who are currently PoliSci majors--and even better, maybe those with PoliSci careers--think? (And a bonus question: Without cheating, from WHICH literary work do we get the infamous phrase "Kill all the lawyers?" I'd give a hint as to the author, but...do I NEED to, when *I* am making the reference?) ;)
