World Junior Hockey Championship

@Cmdr:

Interesting points.

I do notice that sea zones, at varying differences between games, seem to be either more or less friendly than land zones can be when determining flight ranges.

I think, in regards to Europe, the map lines up pretty well with the rules (in the current rendition of the game).  I think in classic it does not line up as well.  Just my two copper pieces…

Then the US figs and Tac Bombers should get to move 6 after T5 or 6

By gum, that CIA poison takes it’s time.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the event that is commonly held to be the end of World War I: the armistice on the Western Front. Germany’s war effort was on the verge of collapse both militarily and domestically, and its allies had already signed separate armistice agreements during the preceding months. The signing took place early in the morning, the ceasefire went into effect at 11 AM.

Formally speaking, the notion that World War I ended with this armistice is incorrect. Hostilities had ended, but unlike the end of World War II, the armistice did not constitute a formal capitulation. So legally speaking, the war continued until the various parties involved had reached separate peace agreements, a process which took several years to complete – in the case of Germany, the Versailles treaty which was signed in 1919 and took effect on January 10, 1920. And the state of war with Turkey even continued until the 1923 treaty of Lausanne.

Congratulations to Germany for a fine World Cup! :-)

@ABWorsham:

Will any of you miss complaining about the BCS system? I’m a hard core playoff fan, I would like to see at least eight teams playoff. But I will miss the discussions that the BCS brought.   :-o

I was against the BCS and I’m against a playoff. If you want playoffs watch the NFL. The BCS did what it was supposed to do very well create a way for number one to play number two within the bowl system. The biggest problem with it is the human voters were allowed to game the system and at least crown a somewhat less mythical national champion than what came before which was entirely a vote.

This selection committee is going to be way worse than the human polls. Hopefully the Sooners and 'Noles will have taken a bit of sheen off the SEC but I don’t see any season where a one loss SEC team that couldn’t win the conference gets in over one loss conference champions from other conferences.

We haven’t eliminated the arguments. Just created new ones.

@Deaths:

It’s all over but the crying in Philly…… Go Devs, Eastern conf. Finals Baby, Lord Stanley, here we come… yippeeee

Nice… my predictions were wildly off the mark.

you have reversed the situation falk. i dont complain about your usage of “USan”. you complain about others’ usage of “american” as referring to “those of US nationality”, and i argued with you that “american” is the accepted term, and “USan” was merely your term. i didnt complain about you using it however. use it as much as you like.

Most hockey fans are aligned with the owners and less pissed about the season being canceled than they are about the players holding up the negociating process.

But the season’s not over. Read my blog for updates: njdevs.blogspot.com
