Please PM me your country preferences; I'm going to ignore whatever is posted in the thread. :) Introduction It's another Diplomacy game since people over at #nes wanted to start one. Yes, I know, these games have a tendency to fail since people keep never sending me orders, but hopefully you...

You may have heard of the nationwide strike in France over the proposal to increase the age that you start collecting pensions from 60 to 62. Here is a collection of neat pictures: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/10/france_on_strike.html Despite all this, the Senate passed the...

m-NotWIII: A Game of Thrones PMs should all be sent! Please do tell me if you haven't gotten yours! Posting is OPEN! Good luck and have fun! Stay active! Update Schedules Nights will last 24 hours; Days will last 48. If anybody has any better ideas, let me know, but I think this is the...

Oh man, it's back from the dead! The legendary m-NotWIII, which was skipped due to my computer dying and me being too lazy to redo all my work...UNTIL NOW! And yes, I did mean "III," as in "3". It's like a blast from the past! -- The small town of Traum was just the right size and in just the...

Does anybody have it? Does anybody want to play? It's a realistic depiction of life on the moon. Hv6RbEOlqRo Here is a sample gameplay video.

Sign-ups will run until August 1, 11:00 PST, at which point the game will begin proper! ----- Background Once upon a time, there was a town named Town. Some of the members of this town were members of a secret criminal organization. Most people were not. One day, there were orders from the...

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/07/25/us/scotus-quiz.html?hp It's just a neat quiz. You get six questions, and you can see where you scored, how the US public feels, and how the court feels. In the end my views fell with the center of the court. John Paul Stevens agreed with me on...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37279732/ns/us_news-immigration_a_nation_divided/ I got a 90%, so I guess I could. The problem is though that I'm only one year out of high school and two years out of not taking any more history classes ever. Sadly, as time goes on, I too will probably forget lots...

http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/05/21/libertarianism_who_needs_it Thoughts? As a formal libertarian, I don't know if this is entirely fair. I think libertarianism has a value as sort of a guiding principle, or even just a sort of leaning. I mean, I can get behind not...

http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/146277 Do you guys feel that this is true? It seems really biased to me, but then again, I was either a kid, an embryo, or not even a thought during all this. The flow and the arguments sound right to me. Convince me otherwise, CFC OT! I want...

Introduction I felt like hosting a game of some sort 'cause I'm creeping back into the world of NESing, so here's an easy game that requires hardly any effort on my part. Remember that if you don't know how to do anything in this game, you can always ask the GM, who will be nice enough to...

I didn't know communists had birthdays, but apparently Kraz didn't just spring from a rock like the Monkey King. Perhaps he's confusing his manufacture date with his birthday. Anyway, here's to my favorite élitist punk kid from China whose name happens to begin with a K, ends in "raznaya," and...

The small town of Traum was just the right size and in just the right location. It was just large enough to be a significant presence, a dot on the map, so to speak, but just small enough that it was merely a small nuisance when it acted up. Furthermore, it held some valuable resources – a...

Introduction I've talked a little bit about maybe starting up a NES somewhat akin to the UFoNES. Basically, it's a NES based on the computer game Battle for Wesnoth, which is a nifty, opensource, turn-based strategy game. I suck at strategy games, so it's up to you guys to turn this dumb...

Specifically, I have seen two variants: Artist - Song or Song - Artist For example, if I used "Feel the Pain" by Dinosaur Jr., I could write: Dinosaur Jr. - Feel the Pain or Feel the Pain - Dinosaur Jr. So, which method do you guys use? Toll is also incoming. Poll is here. Personally...

http://www.noob.us/miscellaneous/amazing-sixth-sense-projection-technology/ I'm so amazingly late with this. It's a video, but here's some text to get you started. So, I mean, the future is now. I think the best part of the device is that it'll probably turn out to be relatively inexpensive...

Random Raves V here, though that's old news by now. Gray skies are going to clear up, so put on a happy face! Also I guess you could talk about good things that happened or whatever.

Introduction So I felt like hosting a forum game, since I still feel bad about The Long March (which is going up sometime, I swear!), so I'll be running a really easy game of Diplomacy. Remember that if you don't know how to do anything in this game, you can always ask the GM, who will be...
