20 Questions - forum game
I'm thinking of an object. You only have 20 questions to guess what that object is. *IMPORTANT* - put the number your question next to the question. The person who guesses correct answer gets to be the next '20 question master'.

No. As that was 20, the answer was a glass bottle.

04 Feb 15 UTC
ssorren, how exactly is the use of a glass bottle apparent? Some people drink their coffee out of glass containers. Some people use glass bottle in the cleaning of their home. Your responses were about as good as Tomahaha's questions.
ssorenn (954 D X)
04 Feb 15 UTC
who uses a glass bottle in cleaning their houses? why does a glass bottles use have to be apparent?
my responses were yes and no, you are the one being retarded RUFFHAUS 8
Sendric (2060 D)
04 Feb 15 UTC
"5) Does the item get dirtied in it's intended use? Yes, use of the item is apparent."

You yourself stated that the use of a glass bottle is apparent. That is what RUFFHAUS was referring to. In many cases, use of a glass bottle is not apparent. If a glass bottle is holding a cleaning liquid (such as a vinegar solution), it could be used in cleaning the house.
ssorenn (954 D X)
04 Feb 15 UTC
how many cleaning solutions are sold or used out of glass bottles----ZERO, they break
Holy fuck. Does everything have to turn into a fight? The use of a glasss bottle is *not* apparent. It could have milk, magnesium citrate (or other medical liquid), mineral water, taco sauce, soy sauce, tobasco sauce, wine, vodka, scotch, or numerous other liquids plus it could hold solids or gasses.

Interesting semantic ambiguity. I assume "the use is apparent" would be translated as "when the item is in use, it is apparent that the item is in use as compared to not being in use"
Valis2501 (985 D)
05 Feb 15 UTC

not that the use, as in the reason one would utilize the item, is apparent, as in clear to everyone in the conversation.

Just updated to the latest wedDip code.
Please report any problems in the ModForum.
This was a large patch and there might be some problems. I will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Please note: There are some additional (wrong) RR-stats, as webDip installed our RR system on their site too. At the moment there additional stats do nothing and are wrong. I will migrate the data to the new system if it's working on webDip.

Closing a Game
Hi,
there is a game that has been paused for over a month and we can not unpause it, because there are users who are not online anymore.
It would be nice, if some adminstrator could close it and give the coins back to everyone.

Double save Italy – we need two(!) replacements
Double save Italy – we need two(!) replacements due to bans in a so far so good Rinascimento game ... gameID=21663

it's ferrara in good position, and venezia in very good position ... the game is not spoiled due to the ban at all, so it's a good chance to jump in.
