Points in play calculation
All,

I have read the FAQ, but it seems to state that your points in play are the sum of point that you *bet*. Mine seem to exceed that, but may be correct if they are the "current value" rather than the "bet." I could do some tedious counting, but I imagine that most of the people here know, so please pardon the "lazy ask" of someone new to this site, but a long-term Dip player.

Anyone here tried Subterfuge?
Its an iOS/Droid game similar to Neptune's Pride somewhat. Slow Realtime where movement takes hours to days to resolve, no RNG, and based on the Diplomacy tradition of deception and alliances. The key difference to Pride is a toroidal map and a different win condition. Anyone else given it a go?

Simple rule question I'm unsure of.
Country 1: A sup B move C; B move C;
Country 2: C sup D move A; D move A;
My thinking is everyone bounces because both supports are broken. Is that right?

When Does A Draw Occur?
When does a draw occur? As soon as all players vote for draw...or when all players have voted for draw and the next turn is adjudicated? I ask because I am in a game where the draw votes are hidden.

Rules question I couldn't find on FAQ.
I know support is cut when the supporting unit is dislodged, but what would happen in the following scenario:
Country 1: A->D; B Support A->D
Country 2: C->B; D Support C->B
jmdingess (374 D)
21 Jan 16 UTC
It would seem that both supports should be dislodged, but that can't happen unless the support goes through, which would mean that they weren't dislodged, but since they aren't dislodged, they should be dislodged, and so on.

Help?

Support is cut when you're attacked (unless you're supporting against the attacking unit). So, both supports are cut, and nothing moves.
peterwiggin (15158 D)

The attack on D cuts its support for C-B. The attack on B cuts its support for A-D. Neither attack is supported, so nothing moves.

While we're at it about the FAQ -- I can't find the mod contact information anywhere.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)

The mod contact information is in under the "rulebook/contact a mod" section in the site help. Also there's a link at the bottom of every page.

But you're right, it should be in the FAQ too. 2WL is doing a big rewrite of the FAQ to bring it up to date. We hope to have it ready soon.

jmdingess: if you go to "help" then "hall of fame", you can look through some of the top players games to study all the different ins and outs of how support works. The little icon in the middle, under the map shows all the units movements.

Or use a move adjudicator to construct scenarios and see how various moves interact. Ex: http://stabbeurfou.org/Interrogation.php

@jmdingess: A rule of thumb for figuring out other adjudication puzzles similar the the example you stated, is to think of adjudication as a two-phase process. The first phase goes through the whole world and decides which supports are "cut" and which supports are allowed to stand. Only after all that is done, then the second phase goes through whole world and decides what units do and what units do not get dislodged, including consideration of surviving support orders.

spectating games
Is there a way to see the global chat in a game your not in? it wouldn't make it so that you could tell someone something they wouldn't have known otherwise like showing private messages would do. I'm just wondering if there is a specific reason why you can't.

Mods can cancel games but can mods force draw? for example 3 players have played for weeks and a one player breaks a site rule implying the game should be cancelled but if the 2 remaining players agree to draw then can the mods force draw?
