Great new variant idea
What if we made a variant, e-mail diplomacy? You would be able to communicate with any other player, all of the time, during any phase? I feel that this would revolutionize the game, introducing new depth to the cmmunication. What do you think?

You know what would be a cool game feature?
If an eliminated, but reliable and quality player could grab a CD'd territory in the same game.

Keeps the game moving with someone who is already invested. Anyone know if this is possible? Anyone think this is a dumb idea? Why?

Quote: "If we all vote draw and someone has a concede vote, I believe they don't get any on the pot, so just vote draw"
Is this correct?

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack.

So, he says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.

The frog says "$30,000." The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is OK, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain pig, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says: "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink pig.
"I mean, what the heck is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says,
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack.
Give the frog a loan.
His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Heisenberg and schrodinger are driving down the highway when a police cruiser pulls them over. The police officer asks them "do you know how fast you were going??" and heisenberg replies "no, I don't, but I can tell you exactly where I was!". Considering this strange response to be grounds for a search, the officer looks in the trunk and says "Hey! Do you know there's a dead cat in your trunk?" and Shrodinger, much put out, replies "Well, I do now!"

From the undergraduate student speaker at my Engineering graduation ceremony this last weekend:

"Congratulations my fellow graduates, you have all just joined 92% of Americans for a crushing advantage in in your bid to enter the workforce. You now have a piece of paper. That means you have a leg up on the 8% of Americans who don't. So consider yourself lucky, that in this booming economy, you are better qualified than the 8% of Americans who dropped out of college. You have nothing to fear from such dropouts as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg because your piece of paper says you are more qualified than any of those academic failures. So pat yourself on the back and imagine the possibilities that await you!"

Also,

"A balloonist, unsure of where he is as he is flying over the countryside spots a man on the ground, so he descends and shouts down to him. 'Can you tell me where I am?' The man on the ground yells back. 'You are in a hot air balloon approximately 50 feet off the ground!' The balloonist replies, 'You must be an engineer.' The man on the ground shouts back 'Yes, how did you know?,' to which the balloonist responds, 'Because everything you have told me is technically correct but is in no way whatsoever useful to anyone.' The engineer retorts, 'You must be in management,' to which the balloonist responds 'Yes, but what gave it away?' The engineer responds 'Because you don't know where you are or where you need to go. In addition, you have the same problem you had before you met me, but now it's my fault.'"

Nmr solution?
I know this has been discussed a lot but is there a way where a game won't proceed until a replacement is found. Steps have been made where one can transfer his game to someone else and kudos for that. But not all playerds do so or know so.
It is just that Im tired of working my ass off to kill good players and some amateur who got lucky to be in a region surrounded with more amateurs and nmr states to win the game without a sweat.

Just wanted to say that the RR system is absolutely brilliant
There's an ongoing discussion on webDip on how to help solve NMR/CD issues, and it reminded me of the RR system here. Great system! Oli did a wonderful job implementing it and all of y'all who did the theorywork (not me, sad to say I wasn't involved) really did a good job. I'm hoping to see it implemented on webDiplomacy soon.

As a compromise solution among the need to keep a reasonable level of advertisement and visibility for standard games and the need to save the games from the issues coming from talking about pre-games and on-going games on forum I’m proposing a small “upgrading” of the current home page.

Smoke Signal Diplomacy!
I came up with this while talking bullshit in the new variant...
So, the only way to communicate is with smoke signals: you send a message in a certain territory and everybody 1/2 territories away can read it...
What do you think people? Haven't really spent much time on this yet...

So in my last game, which was anon, I was told that I was universally known to be the biggest A**H**E on this site. I can't express in words my sense of accomplishment. To have such a force of personality that people who have never played me can identify me in an anon game and to be so described on a site with RoxArt and Mythos on it........feel free to vote below.
