Rules of life?
Does anyone has some sort of rules they live by, like the Ten Commandments? Semper Fidelis? Carpe Diem? Anything you live by?

An important one for me would be: Sometimes you're wrong.
I'm thinking of making a list for myself so I know what I want if it ever gets to a rash decision of big importance or something...

did obama really set a trial for osamas son in law in the states
how did this happen? this is the only reasonable thing i think his administration has done in recent memory. will this be a public hearing? everything i am sure will be classified - they cant let people know the truth about any of this al qaeda stuff. but just bringing him into the country is something. did this guy have absolutely no knowledge of the organization? how could obama do this?

Point Tax
It seems to me there is a great disparity in the number of pints people have, with some having earned thousands, and other often stuck below 100. It is time to implement a Point Tax, perhaps monthly, to supplement to lower-tiered players who can not/will not earn and save points. Who's in???

absurd amounts of sugar in a venti
so new york will make it illegal to put more than 3 teaspoons of sugar in a venti. so you sugar addicted assholes have to start carrying around packets of sugar. but i guess this probably doesnt apply to self-serve sugar - so maybe starbucks is still ok.

I think he's strung pretty highly, and is very rules-and-order oriented, but he's not a bad sort. There is use for that kind. He would have done well in Nazi Germany, for example.

Hecks, I must have gotten you real good, huh?

"Anyone with blond hair and blue eyes who replaced their W's with V's when speaking English did well in Nazi Germany"

That's a horribly ignorant statement. There are plenty of brunettes that survived Nazi Germany.

This. This is why I come to these forums. This is the kind of thread that generates quality posts and produces the latest webdip memes. Carefully crafted, the master threadmaker only starts a new thread once every week or two. He makes the material relevant or personal in some way, something the community can really latch on to and post about. The master threadmaker even uses standard orthography.

Lando Calrissian, I salute you. You're an inspiration to us all and a model that lesser trolls should look up to.

jmo is the hardest working moderator that we have on this site. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that overall community doesn't see. jmo has handled hundreds of cases, making this site a much funner place to play by addressing countless cheating issues. Overall, he's been very reasonable and incredibly fair in dealing with cases.

Let's settle this dispute properly with a Lando vs jmo naked wrestling match. Maybe you could referee philcore.

I like Lando's thread better. I also like jmo quite a bit. He's kept the Around the World Gunboat Tourney running swimmingly, and for that, there aren't enough thanks.

But I like Lando's thread better.

I would be an impartial and non-gawking ref. I would judge the wrestlers on their skill alone and would in no way be distracted by their nakedness. I accept your nomination.

Advice to a new online player
Hey--

Although I'm no stranger to board games, or negotiating games (there's a Game of Thrones boardgame that--at least when I play it--includes a Diplomacy-style negotiating phase) I am new to Diplomacy. Needless to say, I'm new to this site as well. As a 30-something high-school history teacher familiar with strategy/negotiation, what is the best advice a long-time player can offer me?

Hi,

This and 11 other accounts I control were created to fill slots in a large game with some friends. We wanted to play the 17 player map with less than 17 people (we are aware of balance issues with this), and our schedules are varied which disallows us from having shorter turns.
