What's the point in cheating?
I've wondered this about board games both board games and video/computer games. Please provide to me the behind-the-scenes into the psyche of the cheater.
-Does having more kills or WebDip points make you feel better about yourself?
-Is it really worth screwing over the other people involved in the game for you to get a meaningless win?
Please, help me get it.

Nuclear Proliferation
Why do we let a country like North Korea do nuclear tests? Isn't that dangerous? Isn't it even more dangerous because they might sell the knowledge they acquire to islamic nutcases? Discuss.

true or false: "your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility."
isnt it time we move forward and stop claiming that we have the right to decide whats best for our kids? or even saying "our" kids. as if parents own them. newsflash - those kids arent yours.

North Carolina Exempts Itself From Constitution
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html

In short: "North Carolina is exempt from the Establishment Clause, and thus can declare a state-endorsed religion if desired." Thoughts?

Survey as to whether Agent K should be allowed to come back
I figure that this would be the most efficient way to collect the data.
Please vote yes, no, or if you have some specific conditions that you want to specify.

What If Kestas Died?
What would happen to the site if Kestas died?
Would it erode away, it's unsolved bugs slowly making the game less enjoyable?
Or is there some emergency protocol that will let the other mods take power?

That's what Kestas is. The seal that keeps all the multis locked up once they're caught. With no Kestas, multis will roam the site freely, the Banhammer no longer effective, drained of its power...

Kestas' previously unknown 3rd son would take over, under the close supervision of the mods, and start threatening the evil cash obsessed PlayDip Imperialist dogs with pre-emptive strikes in order to keep the support of site members.

If nothing else, since the code is freely available, someone could create a new site and everyone could switch over to it. The code would continue to be maintained and enhanced by those willing to do so.

He would go to heaven, jmo would take over the site and would rule with an iron fist.
Others Mods/Admins would mysteriously disappear or be involved in 'accidents'. As we lost them no new ones would be appointed. Eventually jmo would have children and train them ready for his eventual succession.
He would hire a double to attend live diplomacy events in case of assassination attempts. He would have all of your personal details so any indiscretion on the forum would lead to a personal visit from one of his henchmen.
It's a scary scenario but it is probably in the planning as I write.
If I go missing show the police this forum thread (unless the evil tyrant has already deleted it).
If I was Kestas I would be very afraid right now, it could be days or just hours.
Is there anyone who can stop the homicidal maniac?
philcore (317 D(S))

The Admins could keep the site mostly functioning. Someone would step up to create a new site and eventually the webDiplomacy domain name would expire and everything would be transferred over. Account information could be manually transferred so veteran members wouldn't lose all of their stats, etc.
