Putin Thread

We have a Trump Thread,so this seems fitting as I believe Russia will be newsworthy for quite a bit. I'll start you guys off: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-deploys-missile-violating-treaty-and-challenging-trump/ar-AAmVID5?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

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?

Home Page HTML/CSS Error

It appears that when someone took the banner down, the CSS style for the header separator got messed up.

Jamiet99uk (1307 )

It looks fine to me.

Mapu (362 )

There is a <div id="seperator"> [sic] followed by <div id="seperator-fixed">. The seperator-fixed needs to have width of "auto" like seperator.

Mapu (362 )

To your untrained amateur eye, of course it looks fine.

jmo1121109 (3812 )
13 Feb 17 UTC

I'd be surprised if that got messed up since it's just a db pull on whether or not the banner flag is set to display. No manual action is taken in terms of file editing to turn it off, but I'll take a look tonight.

orathaic (1009 )
13 Feb 17 UTC

The fact that no manual action was taken, just pushes the problem (if it exists) to a deeper level...

Though i'd have assumed this was fine... A feature, not a bug :p

oh yeh, the blue bar is deeper on the left side of the page than the right.

Probably more a browser issue than a code problem?

Look below and to the left of where it says "Home".

Obviously it's not earth shattering but it wasn't there before and it is now. Doesn't happen on Chrome for Mac. I see it on Chrome for Windows.

I'm using Chrome for Windows and I don't see that.

It's only off when you're at a zoom other than 100%

Mapu (362 )
15 Feb 17 UTC

Oh interesting -- I just noticed it only happens when the zoom level (on Windows or Mac) is not at 100%. I was at 90% and didn't realize it. So I guess it's not a bug. Zooming is a "use at your own risk" type of thing.

Chaqa (3971 )
15 Feb 17 UTC

More specifically, it's only if your zoom is at 90% or 110%. Any other zoom I don't see it.

VillageIdiot (7813 )
15 Feb 17 UTC

Changing the width to auto wouldn't really work by itself since it's auto-positioned, you'd have to add in left and right positioning as well.

May have been a bug all along though that just was never noticed. Back in October Chrome (ver 54+) implemented a change so that the browser matches the zoom level set in your OS. If you're on Windows 7 or higher this is defaulted to 125% making everything on Chrome (as well as Firefox) appear zoomed in.

Not really sure the point of the second separator there anyways though.

Mapu (362 )
15 Feb 17 UTC

I made the modification to "auto" in the developer tools inspector and it worked -- it wasn't just a guess.

Go in there and delete one separator and then the other and you will see what they do!

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?
