I don't think that it's just me...I think in response to a global economy slump, war, and political conflict that's developed in most Western nations, people are just more serious about life. That's not necessarily a bad thing in itself...I could point to a number of surveys and facts that show at least in America and most of the Western world, the younger generations that were born and raised in that environment are generally more responsible than older generations were at their age. But I remember the carefree feeling and hope of the late 90s, and I also don't think it would be bad if the world let its hair down once in awhile.

Can't we go back to like, 1995 to 2000? Those were some pretty good years.

For you, maybe. If you were black? If you lived in Asia? Somalian? Middle eastern? British? Not so much.

I'm not even from Britain and I know that New Labour was ass.

So...yeah.  Team Max/Doug will have to find a new name since that relationship will be dissolving fairly soon.  I was hoping to do it before the new year, but it's been damn near impossible to find the right moment...since I don't want to do it at work.

But yeah.  I've really been trying, but for some reason I just haven't been feeling it.  I've been trying to push through it since I really do love him...but I think it's because while I do actually and genuinely love him, it's in a different capacity than someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.  He's been an ansolute wonder in my life, and I dread the idea of breaking his heart.  But if I'm not feeling it, I don't want to drag both him and the relationship down...he deserves much better than that.

So...yeah.  It'll probably be a while before I jump back into dating again this time.  Normally I bounce back rather quickly, but I think I really do need some time to find myself and figure myself out...figure what it is that's missing that I can't seem to find with the people I've dated.  This relationship has taught me that I've definitely made strides with pulling down my walls...but it's also shown that there's still some things that have to be fixed and figured out before I can truly give my all to someone.

I'm sorry to hear that, my friend.

Has anyone played Diplomacy before? Apparently, it has a long history of mail/email play, and as such would probably be well-suited to a forum game...

I've heard it's a pretty fun game, but I've never played it.

An interregional diplomacy game was actually the event that Wintreath was disinvited from on behalf of Spiritus last year. I think most regions use a diplomacy website for it though.

Let us become the diplomacy capitol of the world. =D

I've heard of Diplomacy, mainly things about how it wreaks friendships. =D I don't know anything else about it, however.

Why does Spiritus not like us?

Why does Spiritus not like us?

Mostly cause I left that region three years ago and ended up founding Wintreath.

They suffer from a disease known as butthurtia.

Shall we get working on setting up a game? More games and more variety of games are always good.


@Justinian Ezkantion , my wife and I are thinking about spending New Year's in Louisville. Is there anything you'd suggest we do or stay away from?

It may be worth getting some information about the game and seeing if anyone is interested.

That sounds nice.

So would diplomacy websites work with longer terms, like how we play Werewolf?
