To whom it may concern,
I suspect a player in one of my games of multi-ing. Who should I contact?

Alright, so I got my new PC finally today, and should for technical reasons be a go for Friday night, but I still have a slight family issue going on that might impact it. So I upgrade to 85% chance of being there.

My older son is aware of Diplomacy, enough to know that Italy sucks.
My wife views it as "that game that you play that I want to say is Civilization but isn't."
Which is really kind of a big step for her. She's well known for confusing vaguely similar things (like she always reverses the names of grocery stores..."I'm going to Kroger." "The one on Carpenter?" "No, the one on Michigan." "That's Busch's." "Oh.").
That's not me talking junk, it's a quirk she readily admits to.

But the situation is that a family member in a far-off state is ill, and may die. If the death occurs, I'm going to need to do some consoling. If it doesn't, I'm clear. It's the end of a long sickness and is in no way uber tragic, so I wasn't going to list it out, but there it is.

Sorry to hear that, SD.


CF has certainly made quite the splash in the short time she's been here. Is it time to make her a mod? It's just a glorified popularity contest after all, right? : )
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

Wow, that was quick, the CF promotion.
I knew I should have posted as a woman for this site.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
22 Mar 12 UTC
If she became an Admin, I think we'd get a tax write-off, too.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
22 Mar 12 UTC
Having a woman as an admin makes us a bona fide religion?
That's awesome.

All Hail Mighty K----S!!!
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
22 Mar 12 UTC
lol

No. Don't small companies get tax breaks for having women in leadership?

But, seriously, it's nice that a newer member has become known for actually contributing to the site, unlike most, who become infamous through poor attempts at trolling.

You have 2000 forum posts and have finished almost 100 games. I really didn't consider you a "newer" member.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
22 Mar 12 UTC
I really don't wanna be an admin. I've seen the crap they get from the trolls. Also take a look I've been a member on here since 2010... just lurked for a long time.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
22 Mar 12 UTC
I noticed that you neglected to mention the trolling issue.
That's fine.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
22 Mar 12 UTC
I don't really count "lurking" as being part of the community.

In any case, my only point was that it's nice to have someone gain a *positive* reputation so quickly.

zultar (4180 DMod(P))
22 Mar 12 UTC
What? Gain a positive rep?
No, it's like getting +2 to magic resistance because you are a dwarf. She gets +10 rep for innately being a woman. By the way, I'm weak to fire, like +5.

LOL Yeah, try telling Pandora that all women are magically liked on the Internet.

IIRC, there were a number of people who didn't care for Akroma, either.

Good morning world. Thucy are you going to put out that advertisement for tomorrow? Also did you manage to do that Chinese assignment? Man I swear I watch the forums like its a soap opera nowadays.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
22 Mar 12 UTC
Being female on games like this can be a bag of mixed blessings. On one hand you find out which people really dislike female gamers right away, on the other you get some slack cut.

Thank you for the compliments btw. I've never seen the point in trolling and I'd rather be honest bout being female cause it always comes out one way or the other.

Ditto here Sacred. I thought about putting a picture of my cat as my picture but I fgured that would annoy people.

WebDip Poll: Romney vs Obama.
Based on the recent previous discussions on the US election race and the new primaries that almost seal Romney's nomination, I thought it would be interesting to retake the poll that was previously taken over who will win between Romney and Obama in the 2012 US election:

Are you perfect or imperfect?
If you aren't perfect then isn't the best use of your time and energy striving to improve yourself instead of passing judgment on others? If you are perfect then why not share the secret with everyone instead of passing judgment on others?

Draw, Pause, Cancel
When this feature is used all at the same time - is there a general consensus as to what it is meant to imply?

My feeling is that the player is saying 'peace peace peace! we have to work together against the solo threat'. Is that what others see or do people just look at it without a second thought?

One of the better commercials.
I'll admit it, I quite enjoy commercials. But when they play as long as this one has, it normally gets really annoying. Still one if my favourites though so I thought to share it with our non-hoser members. Enjoy.

My Grand Return
I didn't really have a big return like I imagined, so I thought I'd just start up a game to celebrate.
As I have finally accumulated over 100 D, I will risk all and make it a 100 point pot. Sign up here....depending upon whether or not you love me will determine whether we do World, Classic, Med, or no game at all.
