And my mail server appears to be down.
Sods Law… 
Yes but thats not hard. There are small furry mammals that can do that.
As you proved in fact… 
you didn’t tell me that the covetted “last place” was frikkin italy!
thank you very bloody much!
Aw…
You could have had Turkey if you’d moved faster.
But NOOOOO…
You had to sit on the fence!
FTR, this game has…
4 Cat23 players
4 SDMB players
1 Cat23 Commentator
I leave the rest to you guys.
I have a feeling this is going to degenerate into gerbil jokes, very very quickly.
Of course Cat23 and SDMB are not mutually exclusive sets.
What, literally, does Cat23 mean anyway? I know what it is, but couldn’t they have come up with a better name? Or couldn’t you rename it now that you’re Grand Poobah and everything?
Way back in the mists of time the Cat was on (I think) CompuServe as a part of their ‘games and such’ section. Category 23 was Diplomacy.
Hence: Cat23.
And I am nowhere NEAR the Grand Poobah. Talk to Peter or David.
Are you at least a Minor Poobah? How can I drop your name in conversations if you’re not at least significant?
Also, is there any competing venue to Cat23, or is it the Alpha/Omega of Diplomacy?
I’d also ask who Peter and David are, but don’t want to be branded a heretic… Jennings? Suskind? Bogdanovich? Letterman?
Jonathan’s more of a Grand Poo-Poo.
Now that you’re GM of the year, do you get a mug?
Just the heckling of my compatriots.
There are some other communities out there but I don’t belong to them. Most of them are represented at World Masters or have links from the Diplomatic Pouch.
Just so you all know, I’m gonna veto any attempt to move into Armenia.
Germany, Russia, are ya with me, or ag’in me?
Ok, I’m guessing that Abe is well into a role of France and garius is already grousing about being made to play Italy. I’d love to see who else is who in this game.
Ask and ye shall see…
Whole bunches of Dopers weren’t even born when I last played Russia (back in the early 1970s, IIRC). This is gonna be interesting.
Hmm, Dopers in Russia, Italy, England and France. I guess it would be a bit unfair if they ganged up on the other three.
(And dang, Kim, how old is you anyway?)
Form your alliances where you will. But I consider it unsporting to beat up on people you don’t know to the exclusion of other alliances.
All alliance options are open.
And Rt’s social security number is 23. Does that give you an idea how old he is?
:eek:
And it’s printed on a rock.
Well, actually an ancestor of the rock.
Noodge, noodge
What’s a “noodge”?
