I'm not saying anyone here advocates violence against trans people. But violence exists and there are people here who advocate for a society which encourages that violence, see: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7900302

Deliberately abandoning games … why?
Why do players deliberately abandon games?

Not force majeure problems (computer crash, internet out, drunk in a ditch, arrested, etc.). I mean just ignoring the game.

I am in a game at the moment where one player has missed one phase plus a retreat, and is within minutes of missing another. For some reason I looked at his profile and to my surprise saw that he has been online a few hours ago. Until the missed phase he had a strong position (just before the deadline I spotted the lack of orders and took advantage). He is an experienced player but has a habit of going CD. Meanwhile the rest of us are twiddling our thumbs waiting for the deadline. No apology, no explanation.

I do not get it. Why do people do this?

Some people do not like losing and will just quit when they are. Maybe they don't understand that doing so blows the rest of the game for everyone else, or maybe they do and do it anyways. Either way, I'm always thankful for the opportunity to add someone to the blacklist.

Whenever I end up in a game with someone like this, I make sure that the next one I join has an RR requirement higher than the one he has. Generally, I think 90%+ RR will get you quality people who will see a game to the end, even if they are losing.

I see your point MM. Games that I create are all 90%RR but I shall have to be more selective about those I join too.

We now have to wait 36 hours for him to miss retreat order and then 36 more for him to miss husband order. Sadly he will still have a few units left so there will be more delays until he is gone.

Some people will tell you that NMR is a valid diplomatic tactic. It probably even is. I think there's basically no situation where it's actually truly sensible to deploy, but certainly some people think there is.

I don't think that's what's behind *most* "ignore the game" NMRs though - it's just going to be people ignoring the game because they're losing, or else just flat out being unreliable people who don't care about their RR (or winning?!) for whatever myriad of reasons.

I recently played a gunboat where Austria (at 5 or 6 SCs) started entering nothing but hold orders letting France take the solo. He held for a few years before finally moving out of SCs to get out of the game. Annoying.

@Thorfi: I can just about see a scenario - once in a blue moon - where NMR might be preferable to upsetting an ally. However, like you, I think most "ignore the game" NMRs have other motives.

@Raz000: very annoying. Although I confess to doing something a bit like that when down to a couple of SC's after being stabbed by my "ally". I had warned him that if he did I would allow his main enemy in, which I did. Mind you, that was a full press game not gunboat, like your example, and I was screwed.

I am looking into moving to this area of the country for a new job, but I don't know anyone personally. That lives there to ask what they think about it. So does anyone here live (or used to live) in the area arounf Albany up to Saratoga Springs, NY? Did you like living there? Not like it? Any opinions would be helpful provided they are truthful. Thanks.

How can this move be done?
I am in a world game, and just saw a fleet move from Ukraine to Poland. How is this possible. I double-checked the map, and also looked at the orders for said country (just to be sure I wasn't seeing an army instead of a fleet). Is there some secret passage I am not aware of? Or am I just dense and missing something? Thanks in advance for any answers you have.

Full press anon live game Saturday afternoon (CET)
Looking to play a live game with full press with at least a few Dutch people this saturday at 14:00 CET, but looking for a few more players. Were aiming for a game with 15:00 minutes phase lengts and good quality play and press, and no nmr's. Just as a full disclosure, I know the other dutch players from F2F - but we havent played together online before and there will be no metagaming between us.
