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?

50 shades of grey violates Geneva Conventions
I think its a shame we are sexualizing and romanticizing torture. I believe that at the time these novels came out; they directly helped normalize waterboarding and guantanamo bay.

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?

The title says it all: is there ever a situation or scenario in which Russia should move his fleet in St. Petersburg (South Coast) to Finland? What kind of diplomatic arrangements need to be made for such a move to occur?

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?

I'm buying the site! It's not unbelievably complicated or anything lol.

"I smell some fresh bans in the future if this escalates"

Do they call bananas "bans" where you come from? I'll consider you for our produce purchasing manager.

An instrument of whom ? Satan / God / Gordon flippin' Ramsey ?
TrPrado (461 D)

Gordon Ramsey of course. And also an instrument of torture. Maybe also a musical instrument. I want to know if mayonnaise can serve all these purposes.

It was rumoured that Jackie Onassis would, to annoy the chef's on hubby's luxury yachts etc, would deliberately ask for ketchup to go with her meals. Wouldn't that be a fun trick to play on the frequently blaspheming G Ramsey..order one of his speciality dishes, and ask for mayonnaise / ketchup to " improve the flavour " sit back and wait for the volatile Ramsey to explode..then calmly say " well no tip for you then."

@Capt Brad, I saw a way out of date first aid poster that reccomended, for unconscious patients the "shake and shout" treatment..just the trick if they've got a spinal cord injury.
MajorMitchell (1600 D)
12 Feb 17 UTC
Well done TrPrado.. It was a trick question.. G Ramsey, in many people's opinion, thinks he is God, but is more likely to be Satan. But there's no tricking you.

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?
