Rules Question
It's a bit of a convoluted situation, but I'm actually confused about why WebDip adjudicated the way it did.

I've never made a rules question thread before in all the years I've played Diplomacy. How exciting.

Is this ethical?
Let's say I have a stalemate position, it's DSS, and I can eliminate players without risking anything at all, increasing my share of the pot.
Is it ethical to let those players live?
Does this change if it's anon or not anon?

North Africa & North Atlantic Ocean: The Oddities of the Board.
Not all territories in Diplomacy are created equally. Some are more useful than others. Territories such as North Africa and North Atlantic Ocean are often left vacant, especially at the start of the game. However, can anybody think of a useful and good reason for a player to enter either of these territories? In what situations might either of these territories prove useful?

One of the best mustard sandwiches is with a good sausage sliced length-ways into strips with a decent hot English mustard on top. I'm afraid bland American yellow sugar sauce just doesn't cut the mustard.

I believe mustard is one of those rare areas of intersection between liberals and conservatives, libertarians and authoritarians, democrats and republicans.

Spicy mustard on hot pastrami is excellent, preferably with some grilled onions too. Similar in effect to the flavors to the sandwich LeonWalras advances.

I agree with the "Walras, the egg man, koo, koo, ka choo" ( Sgt Pepper reference) that "English mustard" is the best. Keep it simple, why mess up a good, simple hot mustard as I think the French & Americans do, making it oily, adding "adulterants" or weakening it's punch ?

Very interesting book been recently published about the history of the creation of the Australian Kelpie cross breed cattle and sheep dog breed...original Kelpie dogs came from Scotland, secretly cross bred with Dingo to toughen them up for australian conditions.
Separately.. New scientific research being done on allowing dingos to fulfil their role as a top predator and keep feral cats and rabbits under control on large cattle and sheep stations in remote areas.
Those specifically bred dogs from northern Italy are increasingly being used to protect sheep and free range chickens safe on farms "inside the dog fence" areas.

Parents should exercise great caution with toddlers, babies and small children in areas of Australia where there are dingoes.. Fraser island is a very good example.

Re those dogs being used to protect sheep and free range chickens.. Main predators there are foxes, feral cats & with chickens, some of the raptor ? Birds eg Eagles, Hawks. Formerly "domestic" dogs gone bad as well..dingoes are less prevalent inside the dog fence, and foxes and feral cats are the bigger problem

Kangaroo Island is starting the push to eliminate all cats, feral and domestic. It's also a "bee sanctuary" in a way, it has pure "ligurian" bee stocks, we export billions of bees, many go to California. Ironically koalas, that were introduced to Kangaroo Island, they were not native to that island ( I think) have bred up to such numbers they were destroying so many trees, particularly manna gums that control measures have had to be implemented.

Italy Opening Strategy: Early Attack on France?
Venice goes to Piedmont, Rome goes to Tuscany, and Naples goes to Tyrrhenian Sea. If France moved Marseilles to Spain, he will be forced to take a guess at whether Italy will enter Marseilles or leave it vacant. If Spain re-enters Marseilles, France will have a slow start against Italy. And if Italy gets into Marseilles and Tunis, he will get two builds. Thoughts?

Where'd the new rules come from?
I usually try to stay updated on what people talk about in the forum daily. Recently I haven't been able to and I came back to find that their are new rules regarding how shitty we can be to each other on the forum. I understand that there was a thread that was so bad the mods felt the need to make more rules. Anyone care to tell me what was said that was bad enough to warrant this?

Austro-Hungarian-Turkish Alliance: Just for Fun? Or Turkish Delight?
Turkey and Austria-Hungary work together against Russia, with a passive Italian player. Turkey moves into Bulgaria, Black Sea, and Armenia. And Austria-Hungary moves into Rumania and Galicia. Is this just pure fantasy? Or will Austria-Hungary and Turkey be treating themselves to Turkish delight by the end of it?

gunboat related - grabbing Munich in 1901
I find that a lot of players that start as France would actually try to get Burgundy into Munich in gunboats in Autumn 01. What is the point of that? Germany will have to build armies to get France out again and thus put England in a massively advantaged position.

Thoughts?
