Evil Hacks
Dick Moves for Winning Board Games
Nick Douglas
Board games are a safe place to play out conflicts with your family and friends, with the understanding that once the game is over, everyone is on good terms again. That also makes them the perfect place to take out all your petty frustrations and revenge fantasies, under the guise of good fun. Here's how to destroy your opponents with dick moves that will feel like cheats, but are all sanctioned by the rule book.
It's Evil Week at Lifehacker, which means we're looking into less-than-seemly methods for getting shit done. We like to think we're shedding light on these tactics as a way to help you do the opposite, but if you are, in fact, evil, you might find this week unironically helpful. That's up to you.
People always think that all book nerds love Scrabble. Some of us don't! Scrabble isn't really about words; it's just about combinations of letters. If you're a Scrabble hater forced into a game, get back with these stingy strategies.
Block the squares
Most Scrabble strategies involve maximizing your point total. But it's also important to minimize your opponent's point total. Don't leave them any opening to build onto a double- or triple-word square. Eventually they'll be forced to give you an opening; always take it, even if you can only make a mediocre word. (I learned this strategy by playing Words With Friends against a Republican.)
Block the board
In most games, someone eventually "opens the board up" by laying out a long branch that everyone can build off. That person is a loser. Take advantage of their generosity, but don't give back. Memorize two-letter words so you can build parallel words that clog up the board instead of branching out.
Play fake words
And if you're really devious, and willing to risk it, play a fake word. This is a legal move! If an opponent challenges you, you'll lose points. But if they challenge you and the word is in the Scrabble dictionary, they lose their turn. So build up a fear of that risk. It's useful to play a couple of obscure words before you play your fake one.
Try to make a word that feels real. It keeps your opponent wary about challenging. Even if they know that you made up the word, it might still be real. And that would still count in your favor. The rules don't say you have to know a word's definition, or even that it exists. And once the next player takes a turn, yours can no longer be challenged.
Most online versions of Scrabble won't let you play fake words. That's fine; half the fun of faking a word is watching everyone else sweat, which can only be done in person.
Hacking Scrabble (Part One)
Scrabble-lover and hacker Tom Rees knows that the key to dominating at the popular word game hinges
Like Scrabble, chess isn't just strategy, it's memorization: How many checkmate patterns can you recognize, and can you force your opponent into one before they force you?
Humiliate a beginner with a fast checkmate
Win in two moves with the Fool's Mate. This only works in specific openings, against an inexperienced player, when you go second. If White moves up the pawns in front of their king's bishop and knight, Black can send their queen over for a quick checkmate.
The slightly less obvious Scholar's Mate delivers the game in four moves with the queen and bishop; with the right victim, From's Gambit can deliver it in five. And in the Légal Trap, White lures in Black with a queen sacrifice before making an early checkmate. Supposedly, its inventor baited the trap (and covered up for a possible escape) with a face-to-face bluff:
Légal disguised his trap with a psychological trick: he first touched the knight on f3 and then retreated his hand as if realizing only now that the knight was pinned. Then, after his opponent reminded him of the touch-move rule, he played Nxe5, and the opponent grabbed the queen without thinking twice.
2 Psychology Rules for Getting Better at Chess--and Life
We often use chess as a metaphor for life, business, and other competitive sports, because it's…
The Monopoly end-game is stressful. But not stressful enough. Add some pain with a housing crisis and a post-jail penalty.
Hoard houses
When the Monopoly bank runs out of money, you're allowed to make more, or keep track of money with a ledger. But when you run out of houses, that's it—no one gets to build any more. Housing is supposed to be limited, according to the rules.
So when houses are running low, build as many as you can, and don't convert them into hotels. Once they run out, your opponents can't buy more houses—and no matter how much money they have, they can't skip straight to hotels, because technically, hotels can only be built on properties that already have houses.
Buy up the post-jail spaces
According to this Monopoly heat map, players are especially likely to land on the row of spaces following the jail square. So buy up those magentas and oranges.
While jail isn't the only factor in which properties are most profitable, it's an easy strategy to remember, and one that hits opponents when they're down—right after they've paid a fine to get out, or after they've hung out in there intentionally to avoid paying rents, and missed out on property-buying opportunities.
Winning Monopoly strategies
I am HORRIBLE at Monopoly, mostly because I overbuy or get sucked into bidding wars.
Catan provides plenty of opportunities to punish your fellow players, whether stealing their resources with the robber or blocking their expansion with a road. But if you bug your opponents too much, they can retaliate. Here are some high-impact dick moves.
Laser-Cut Yourself a Settlers of Catan Game Set
Surely your company acquired a laser cutter for more pressing matters than creating copies of…
Block a road in the middle
You can chop up another player's road with a settlement, breaking it into two smaller roads and potentially making it ineligible for the "longest road" bonus. Even though this is covered in the rules, players regularly ask about it on the /r/catan subreddit.
Maximize your monopoly
Before you play the monopoly card, and take all of a specific resource, trade away some of that resource, since you're about to get it all back.
If you're not sure who has what resources, you can just ask. Simply pretend you're asking for a trade: "Got any brick for wheat?" And when they say yes, play your monopoly card and grab their brick. That is, if they haven't lied.
Make the robber count
If you can, use the robber against the player to your right. If you hit a hex that only they benefit from, the robber will sit there all round. When their turn finally comes, if they get revenge, you'll be able to respond immediately.
Build your strategy around bugging your enemies
Follow the Developer strategy in this Catan guide on Instructables. Focus on development cards, throw the robber at your opponents, and look weak despite your slowly growing power. Don't worry about collecting wood or brick.
If Monopoly is too relaxing, try a plodding campaign of Risk. It's got enough strategy to frustrate beginners, but enough chance to infuriate good players trying to finally end the damn game. As with Monopoly, your game ends with either a slow march toward death, or an unsatisfying surrender.
Feint toward an ally
Don't immediately build up forces on the border that faces your next target. First build up near someone you could intimidate, but don't actually want to invade. Then cut a deal with them, and move your armies over to ambush your actual enemy. If you play this right, you'll be two steps ahead: Your enemy won't be ready for you, and your new ally will owe you something just for doing what you secretly planned to do already.
Make others do your dirty work
Occupying an entire continent provides a hefty bonus, but only if the player maintains that hold for an entire round. Ideally, another player should break that hold right before the player's next turn. But you don't want to be that player—you'll have to sink resources into the fight, and the other player will definitely retaliate.
Instead, you need to impress upon your fellow players the importance of stopping the continental monopoly. Avoid getting near that continent, so you have an excuse for not helping. Promise to help out whoever breaks the monopoly. Anything to make them waste their resources instead of your own—and to maintain the possibility of a future truce with your enemy.
Hand over Australia
Australia is the easiest continent to take over in the early game, but it's very hard to expand from, and its bonus is pitiful. If you can grab a bit of Australia early on, and pretend you care about it, you can "give it away" in exchange for something more valuable. Be careful: This takes some careful negotiation, and other experienced players won't fall for it.
Connect Four, like Tic-Tac-Toe, is mathematically "solved." Just memorize the winning moves:
Good Games for Dick Moves
If you want a game built entirely around devious strategies, try some of these:
Diplomacy is the mother of all back-stabbing board games. Players start with just three pieces to maneuver, and no one player can win without occasional help. Most of the gameplay is explicitly about negotiating with your fellow players, forming alliances, threatening and obfuscating, and eventually backstabbing.
Collectible card game Magic: The Gathering is full of moves that use your opponents' power against them. So is deck-building card game Dominion.
The party game Werewolf is all about lying or manipulating your fellow players. But if you get sick of it before the rest of the group, you can have more fun trolling everyone while pretending to act in good faith. Fall for obvious lies; go on insane game-theory rants. See how dumb you can pretend to be before anyone detects that you're just jerking them around.

Franklin's Resolutions
by Grace Sorensen | Jan 19, 2023 | Variety | 0 comments
Can people really change? The debate over this question has raged for years, with people arguing for either side with various pieces of evidence. One damning occurrence that supports the belief that change happens in the beginning of January each year. This is because of the long-held tradition of New Year's Resolutions, a time when people look back on the past year, and think of the personal changes they wish to make in the coming one. Even though millions of people participate in this tradition every year, there is truly no worldwide standard for a New Year's resolution. But the intention is the same: as the year changes, people want to follow suit.
Every person has a different goal in mind when they make their resolutions, if they make them at all. Personally, I avoid making New Year's resolutions because of the pressure I feel, both from societal expectations and myself by extension. But I am one individual person, who has my own goals and ideas for how I want to be year by year, just like everyone else who watches as the clock turns from 11:59 on Dec. 31 to midnight of Jan. 1.
Everyone's resolutions look different, whether in content or style. Some people find that vision boards, posters filled with inspiring images, work for them. But for some, it's simply not the right medium. Everyone moves and grows at their own pace, in their own way.
Franklin sophomore Emerson Porter finds that making New Year's resolutions is a nice tradition since "it helps you reflect, and think about the things you want to accomplish and try in the next year." Porter's goal in making her resolutions is to help her learn new things, and remember her goals in the long-term. This year, Porter's resolutions are to travel more, read two books a month, journal everyday, drink more water, and to get Franklin Women's Soccer to the playoffs.
Despite the opportunity, growing and changing from year to year is a slippery slope. You're at risk of experiencing major disappointment if you don't follow through with an expectation you set for yourself.
It's because of this that I did not originally come up with any resolutions for 2023. I felt content growing day-by-day, and felt no need to put a whole lot of pressure on myself. That is, until I walked into my English class with Emily Gromko, where our warm up was to draw what we want less and more of in 2023. And let me tell you, my Pilot G2 pen was flying across that scrap of paper. The lack of pressure and expectations gave me the freedom to really think about what I want my life to look like as I move forward. I have since decided to hang this paper on my wall for a little inspiration.
The expectations and pressures of New Year's Resolutions is the reason that Ruben Navarrete, a Spanish teacher here at Franklin, is so broad with his resolutions, while still being kind to himself: "What was the point of [making super specific goals]? I'm just adding extra stress onto myself." A lot of people tend to base their self-worth in the way they are perceived by outsiders, so New Years and resolutions are seen as a signal to try again and better fit the mold, year after year. "Sometimes we feel this societal pressure to do things because it's a social expectation," Navarrete says.
Going into 2023, Navarrete resolves to slow down, and to stop and smell the flowers of life. He says, "I want to just enjoy the mundane; the silliness that happens at the dinner table with my kiddos and my wife, the silly dance parties that we have as we make food." Navarrete's goal with his resolutions is to find happiness in the world in order to keep 'filling his cup'; to find some happy fuel to keep going, day by day. "For me, [my resolutions] are slow down. Enjoy the small moments and be intentional about that."
The euphoric feeling of making it through another year is often overlooked due to the expectation to change to better fit into the mold. Take a moment today to revel in pride for yourself, and those around you, for having made it through another year.
As we go into 2023, it's important to remember that your goals are your own; there is no need for anything to happen on any particular schedule. You are the only one you are doing this for. The hardest part is staying consistent and strong, but I believe that this is the year people will achieve real growth, both at Franklin and beyond.


It's now the second week of August already and Australian Netflix welcomes a total of 64 new titles to its screens. 21 new movies have been added, along with a further 3 Documentaries and 40 new TV series. Just like we do every week, we are going to pick out three titles that stand out to us and briefly outline them. If you find something in the list that you think we should have highlighted, please tell us in the comments below.
Our first pick for this week is the documentary 'Icarus', a new Netflix original determined to uncover the real truth behind doping in sports and the biggest Olympic scandal in sports History. The 2-hour film follows Bryan Fogel as he explores this geopolitical thriller full of unexplained death and scandals. If you are a fan of documentaries or sporting drama, this film is perfect for you.
The third season of 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' has just made its way to Australian Netflix and is a remake of the classic 80's series Voltron. The show follows five teenagers who are chosen to defend the galaxy from the evil army led by King Zarkon. Many classic fans regard this series as an amazing remake and implore anyone who used to watch the old 80s series to give this a go, it will fill you with nostalgia.
Lastly, this week welcomes the third season of 'The Inbetweeners', a very well known and popular comedy that started back in 2008 and based in Britain. The show resonated with a large audience as it captured teenage life and relationships with amazing accuracy. Four completely different friends are attempting to survive their time at sixth-form (College) and hopefully, have some fun along the way. There were only three seasons of the show but they were followed up by 2 feature films, all worth a watch.
This week's Honorable Mentions include: Season 5 of Grimm, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, and the 2012 film Mabo.

Columbus, Tallahasse, Wichita, and Little Rock move to the American heartland as they face off against evolved zombies, fellow survivors, and the growing pains of the snarky makeshift family.
Some news about "Zombieland: Double Tap"
Venom overcame an (extremely unfair) critical mauling to become an $856 million smash, with audiences worldwide taking to the bromance between Tom Hardy and a slimy alien goo monster. It was a superhero movie with a distinct personality, anchored by a very fun dual performance from Hardy and a witty script. But with the film proving to be a hit and ending with a teaser for a sequel starring Woody Harrelson's Carnage, you'd expect a follow-up to be fast-tracked. So far though, we've heard hd movies online nothing about Venom 2.We've had word that Sony are targeting an October 2nd, 2020 release date for the project, which should mean that it's some way through pre-production and would go before the cameras later this year. But now, in a recent interview, studio chief Amy Pascal has explained that the film is "in the works" but that there's "no timetable.Netflix announced today that three-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson has joined Mary Elizabeth Winstead for the forthcoming assassin thriller Kate.Directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman: Winter's War) and written by Umair Aleem, Kate follows a ruthless criminal operative — who has been irreversibly poisoned — that has less than 24 hours free films to watch now to exact revenge on her enemies and in the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of one of her past victims.Bryan Unkeless, Kelly McCormick, Patrick Newall will serve as producers.

Well, tomorrow is my audiology appointment with the new doctor. According to my DVR counselor, the doctor can just call, email or fax her recommendation for me while I am there, and it will be approved for purchase instantly. Then, depending what's in stock and what I need, I could very well HAVE hearing aids tomorrow. It's kind of scary.
Actually getting them tomorrow will depend on what I need vs. what's in stock (as well as what I want vs. what's in stock because I am leaning towards the baby blue ones and I'm thinking they probably don't keep a ton of those on hand…). I am 99% sure I will be getting BTE (behind-the-ear) hearing aids with RITE (receiver in the ear). For the brand that the audiologist carries, that means I won't need custom molds made up (read: no wait time on ear molds).
I'm a little torn on how to feel. Excited, yes. I hope they will help, that I can hear better with them and that they will result in lower stress and fatigue levels. I've done a lot of research and reading and was surprised — at first — to learn that people with unassisted hearing loss tend to have higher stress and fatigue levels. The stress is pretty self-explanatory, but the fatigue is interesting. It seems you (the person with hearing loss) do a lot of subconscious work to process what you hear, be it reading lips or mentally filling in the blanks of the sounds you aren't hearing. As I've learned about this, I've seen it in myself a lot more. It never really occurred to me just how many sounds/words I don't hear in a conversation, but my brain uses context to fill in the blanks for me. I imagine that's a lot of mental work I'm not even aware I'm doing!
It also explains why if you say something random or out-of-the-blue to me, I often don't know what's you've said because I don't have the context to work with. Interesting.
As for the scary part, well… I've read that it takes time to start to re-recognize sounds you haven't been hearing. Your brain has to re-learn them, and depending on how bad your loss is and how long you've gone without hearing those sounds, the harder it is to re-learn them. Public service announcement: This is why it's very important to treat your hearing loss NOW, rather than later. The more hearing you lose, the less you can "get back" through hearing aids. Make note (you know who you are…).
I've read that getting hearing aids can be tiring and frustrating learning to use them and acclimating to the unnatural sounds they produce. Hopefully (fingers crossed) the ones I will be getting are the top-of-the-line for my type of loss and as natural sounding as possible, but at the end of the day, it's still artificially amplified sound.
I worry about how they will look and feel. I get sore after wearing a headband for a while (where they press behind my ears) — will hearing aids be like that? What about with my glasses? Are my glasses going to get in the way of the hearing aids? what about how visible they will be? Will people see the aids and the wires easily? Does it matter? Will I care? I'd like to say I honestly don't care, but as it gets down to it, I'm feeling a little self-conscious about it. And with that comes guilt for feeling self-conscious because I don't feel judgmental about people I see with hearing aids, so what would it matter if I have them?
I agree with Reba! If you can't hide 'em, flaunt 'em! Many prayers that everything goes well and the adjustment time is short.
I think you should definitely go for the baby blue, Sommer! Best of luck today. I can't wait to watch your world open up!
I like the blue! I can totally relate to the fatigue for all the reasons listed… I have a hard time getting other people to understand that. I find myself looking off into space/shutting my vision off to focus all my energies on hearing the mumblers, and then I get yelled at for not paying attention… "if you were looking at me you would have heard me!" uh.. no. not like that. :) Being at a crowded room and keeping track of conversations is enough to exhaust me! (and that's WITH hearing aids haha but mine is a lot worse than yours) I hope you can get lots of use out of them! Definitely get the blue. You're right that the skin/hair ones are not fooling anyone. I wear sunglasses all the time and they don't interfere. Can't wait to hear all about it!
I didn't know that about the fatigue! I can totally see how it would be frustrating to learn how to use them and get acclimated to the new sounds. My co-worker is agitated for a week or so after he gets his cochlear implants tuned up because all of a sudden he is hearing so much more than he did previously. He walks around just looking at stuff angrily trying to figure out what's making the sounds he hears! Hang in there. I hope it goes well!
Totally go for the blue.
My son has hearing loss and wears BTE's. He recently got a new pair, and picked the clear ones! He thought it was cool to see the circuits, etc inside. I'm so excited you are getting them! I've been following your blog, but have never commented. We live with hearing loss everyday.


The 19th Chinese Communist Party Congress runs Oct. 18-24. The convention marks the start of a transition as delegates name new members to lead China's most powerful political institutions. But the change in personnel is only part of a larger transformation underway in the Party and in the country — a process that began long before the party congress kicked off and will continue long after it ends. This is the third installment in a four-part series examining how far China has come in its transition, and how far it has yet to go.
For nearly a year the world has worked to adapt to recent changes, both real and perceived, in U.S. foreign policy. But as the globe responds to the new priorities of its only superpower, Americans themselves remain divided over how best to engage with their surroundings.
Much like the members of the European Union, each of America's states has its own needs to fulfill. Technological progress has given some states an edge in pursuing their goals, but it has also left behind regions that were once among the most prominent forces in U.S. politics — including the country's flourishing breadbasket, the American Midwest. And as the socio-economic gap between different parts of the country has widened, so have their policy preferences.
By design, political discourse and debate are woven into the very fabric of American governance. But rarely do rifts among states spill into foreign policy and global issues in a substantial way. That may not be the case for much longer, however, as U.S. President Donald Trump's populist appeals attract strong allies — and even stronger opponents — to the White House.
I've long held that if a problem can be solved by creating $1 trillion out of thin air and buying a raft of assets with that $1 trillion, then central banks will solve the problem by creating the $1 trillion out of thin air—nothing could be easier.
Towards the end of financial bubbles, asset prices behave in ways that can't be explained with rational/historical metrics. So new ones are invented to make sense of things. In the 1990s tech stock bubble, earnings were "optional" and "eyeballs" – that is, the number of visitors to a dot-com's website – were what determined value. In the 2000s housing bubble, home prices would always rise, which justified pretty much any selling price and asset backed security structure.
Despite what I thought were persuasive articles over the years (here, here and here, for example), corn ethanol and other biofuel mandates remain embedded in US law. As we have learned, once a government program is created, it becomes virtually impossible to eliminate, revise or even trim fat from it.
This year, it looked like this "rule of perpetuity" might finally change. The Trump-Pruitt Environmental Protection Agency proposed to use its "waiver authority" to reduce its 2018 biodiesel requirement by 15% (315 million gallons) and (possibly) lower the 2019 total down to the 1-billion-gallon minimum mandated by Congress. The proposed action would not affect corn or other ethanol production and blending requirements, despite growing problems with incorporating more ethanol into gasoline.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is rolling out shelf-scanning robots in more than 50 U.S. stores to replenish inventory faster and save employees time when products run out.
While David Stockman stated early this year with resolute certainty that the debt ceiling debate would blow congress up and send the nation reeling over the financial precipice, I avoided jumping on the debt-ceiling bandwagon. While I was convinced major rifts in the economy would start to show up in the summer, I was not convinced they would have anything to do with the debt ceiling debate. If there is anything you can be certain of this in endless recovery-mode economy, it is that the US will just keep pushing its bags of bonds up a hill until it can finally push no more. So, I figured another punt down the road was more likely.

Wilfred Owen
Wilfred Owen Research Papers
Wilfred Owen Research Papers examine an example of an order placed on an explication on an authors poetry.
A great topic for a literature research paper is
to do a poetry explication of Wilfred Owen's poem Dulce et Decorum Est. You will want to consider the historical timeframe of the poem, Owen's personal life and various other factors that often influence a writer's creation.
Here is how you may want to go about writing the explication:
The explication should follow this format: begin with the large issues and basic design of the poem and work through each line to the more specific details and patterns.
The first paragraph should present the large issues; it should inform the reader which conflicts are dramatized and should describe the dramatic situation of the speaker. The explication does not require a formal introductory paragraph; the writer should simply start explicating immediately. Begin the explication with the following sentence: "This poem dramatizes the conflict between...." Such a beginning ensures that you will introduce the major conflict or theme in the poem and organize your explication accordingly.
The next paragraphs should expand the discussion of the conflict by focusing on details of form, rhetoric, syntax, and vocabulary. In these paragraphs, the writer should explain the poem line by line in terms of these details, and he or she should incorporate important elements of rhyme, rhythm, and meter during this discussion.
The conclusion of the explication has no formal concluding paragraph: do not simply restate the main points of the introduction. The end of the explication should focus on sound effects or visual patterns as the final element of asserting an explanation.
Keep In Mind in Wilfred Owen Research Paper:
Refer to the speaking voice in the poem as the "speaker" or "the poet." For example do not write, "In this poem, Wordsworth says that London is beautiful in the morning." However, you can write, "In this poem, Wordsworth presents a speaker who..." We cannot absolutely identify Wordsworth with the speaker of the poem, so it is more accurate to talk about "the speaker" or "the poet" in an explication.
Use the present tense when writing the explication. The poem, as a work of literature, continues to exist.
To avoid unnecessary uses of the verb "to be" in compositions, the following list suggest some verbs which can be used when writing the explication:
Dramatizes
Illustrates
Characterizes
Asserts
Posits
Enacts
Juxtaposes
Implies
Stresses
Accentuates
Syntax vs Semantics research papers discuss the two main branches of contemporary linguistics.
Poetry Analysis essays discuss the formal process of exploring the various aspects of a poem, including content, structure, rhythm and meter, form, and even its history.
Prose - Essays on prose examine the form of literature that is often considered to be the opposite of poetry.

21 Bizarre Maps That Depict Nations As Animals, People, And Monsters
Attila Nagy

Allegorical, satirical, and comic or serio-comic maps were one of the most popular ways of distributing political propaganda leading up to the Second World War. With countries depicted as human figures, animals, or even monsters, these maps attempted to represent more than just geography — and in doing so, exposed the political biases and sometimes even bigotry of the author.
Nowadays, it's strange to see states and people caricatured using cartography according to current political and international circumstances — especially in such a sarcastic, even disobliging way. The following collection of maps will give you an idea about how these artists used geographic as a form of propaganda, sometimes to disturbing ends.
