What Defines A New Player?
Hey everyone i was just browsing the new games to see if there were anything interesting that i could join when i stumbled across a game that had the requirement of 'New Players Only' and i was wondering how to make 'New Player' quantifiable. What is the time between you join till you are considered not a 'New Player.' Or in essence are we all new players?

Is this a stalemate line?

I just wanted everyone’s opinion on the above game. I felt that we had forced a stalemate by Autumn 1910 however England carried on and won after an NMR by Turkey.
England said that they feel the win was valid as we didn’t create a stalemate line and that their victory was inevitable, I just don’t see how that was the case, unless someone was to make a mistake.
So, I’m I being disingenuous to England’s augment, have I missed a killer move. Even if there wasn’t one, is a valid tactic to keep playing in the hope that someone makes a mistake.
This game is one of several lately that has just left a bad taste and I’m thinking of packing it in as I make a lot of effect not to miss moves but I can’t seem to rely on the other players to do the same.

No, that wasn't a stalemate line. It was extremely close to one, but it required a correct guess every turn to hold Mun/Ber.

England's units in Lvn and Pie had the ability to cut Tyo and Pru, and Bal/Bur could cut Mun/Ber respectively, so the only units which could issue an uncuttable support hold were Bohemia and Silesia. England had 3 units on Munich and 2 units on Berlin (one unit, Kiel, was on both and had to choose which to help the attack on each phase).

This meant that for a true stalemate, you'd need 2 units support holding Munich, and one unit support holding Berlin. Turkey did not have enough uncuttable units to do that - he could *either* issue 2 support holds to Munich, or 1 to Munich and 1 to Berlin. This meant that Ber & Mun could be held by correctly guessing the opposing moves, but could not be held indefinitely. If Turkey ordered both units to support Munich and England attacked Berlin with 2, or if Turkey ordered Silesia to support hold Berlin and England attacked Munich with 3, England would win the game.
As meme said, it was not a stalemate. You needed to take Liv or Pie to make it a stalemate

That said if you ever think a stalemate is in place, contact the mods at [email protected]

We will judge the situation and if the line has been held for 2 years without a change of centres, we will contact everyone holding up the draw to ask for an explanation. If they can't produce a valid plan, we force-draw the game and it ends on the spot.

Why it is always German player
That never pushes ready in Gunboat games?
Like every single time if there is a player that saves his orders early on and waits 24 or 36 hours without pressing ready? Is there any rule that you should not slow game down? Or it is up to players if they want to iritate all others by making a retreat in full turn, and then disbanding the same army/fleet just after that in next full turn?

More gunboat musings, this time about opening strategy.
I hope some of the many GB players that are better than me have opinions about this, especially if they differ from mine.

I just finished my thoughts on the Western countries, I'll discuss the Eastern ones in a follow-up.
