Scholars now believe Civil War never happened
According to a new story on bbc today. Scholars believe that future confederates used time travel to go back in time and create the civil war. Stephen Hawking wrote: "Time travel is only possible in the future in rural mississippi. Chemicals contained in busch light may posess the ability to allow a confederate soldier to at will jump back in time and inform South Carolina that secession is a good idea."

If I save a set of orders, but do not "ready" them, will I NMR when time expires for the phase? I assume that is not the case, but want to know for sure.

Maneuvering with the Black Sea
Hey there. So I've looked through FAQs and the DACT tests and I'm still about confused so I'm looking for clarification. I have a fleet in the Black Sea and I'm looking to use to it support myself into the surrounding territories. For example- using the Black Sea to to support myself into Bulgaria from Rumania. I have a fleet in Rumania. I say: move fleet in Rumania to Bulgaria (North Coast) and I get a normal red arrow. All good.

Logic of blasphemy laws?
So i just saw a nice take: Blasphemy laws imply that your all powerful God can't protect itself. Which, amusingly, makes blasphemy laws themselves blasphemous.

Why are both the 1v1 maps so one sided???
It seems that in every 1v1 game I play it always depends on who starts off where, not actually being dependent on skill. In France vs. Austria, Austria has a major land advantage and has more sc's available to expand into without getting into conflict. In Italy vs. Germany its basically impossible to win and Italy. For real how can anyone win as Italy or France?????? What crazy strategy do you need to win???

ATT new network for first responders
Can AT&T's new network for first responders (so they don't get jammed up with network clogging traffic during a 9/11 type of event) be the next step toward yet another new network? -- maybe one that costs more but is superfast? Is this the acceleration of the end of net neutrality?

This is NOT the actual Mafia thread, so please do not confuse it with the real one.

I made this thread to inquire what the Mafia threads are. Is it a game of sorts? I am still pretty new to the forums, so . . . Can somebody explain what those Mafia threads are?

If it walks like a duck Nunes involved in cover up
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Nunes is choking off witness testimony, slow-rolling investigation, claiming to have secret evidence, making secret visits to the White House. When will the Democrats finally say that there is a cover up?

Announcement
So I didn't realize so many wanted webdipia to return. It has galvanized me and I am committing to starting the next iteration in May. This gives me a month to finalize the game mechs and story; as well as get my licensing for my new job mostly completed. This thread is just for hype.

although this variant will be mostly in the vein of webdipia it won't be a "country" sim per say. I am working on the arctic adventure variant which will take place mostly on a single ship. but i think you will all enjoy it.

For those who are new to the concept:
The GM provides issues or decisions for tengrouo to make together. Then you make your decisions however you all agreed at the beginning. It's pretty straightforward. Your decisions have consequences, some good and some bad. Don't bring smallpox blankets if you don't know what they are.
Here's the thread for the second sim: threadID=1358630

For anyone who might be interested, it's a lot of fun. CB did an excellent job GM'ing the last one and I'm sure he'll do an amazing job on this one as well.

Alas, I don't have the time to play this time around, but I'll watch while I can.

So this next iteration will be a little more contained. Being stuck on a ship with the base goal of getting to the north pole and back. (this will also make GMing easier. so phases can be marginally shorter.) to make things interesting there a few preliminary things I will be adding to make your game a bit more dramatic and hopefully entertaining (even though its on a ship).
- An individual or group of individuals can actually win (players can perish or be killed)
- maintaing food and water supplies will be more crucial than in past installments
- your experts will not have the option to act on their own accord. (however they can act with the consent of a player)
-There will be a mafia-esque subplot happening that i don't want to spoil.
-New game metrics are in development to make the game easier to understand and better reflect your crews needs.


In preparation your HW should be to research polar expeditions as I may leave easter eggs which may point you in the right direction or steer you away from danger.
TrPrado (461 D)
27 Mar 17 UTC
Can't act on their own? So you're saying I can't PM the GM to create a backdoor channel to advance certain secret policies?

Go to the CIC to get the high sign for the low down, PDQ. Then use the AC with the TV for the EZ and get the cool down ASAP. Then call the PD from the DMV and get the breezy and the oui, oui so she will see me on the QT down at the party with all your friends. And at the BBQ with your BBW, put on your PU aftershave and brave the smack about her BMW and the GMC parked in the DWP lot by the SCE plot. We can LOL with the OMG, listen to music by the PHAT boyz and their TLC with the PYT on the LAP.

No, it won't require as much time, but it still requires a significant bit of dedication. You have to read and keep up with what people are saying each day. When new scenarios come up, it is important to understand them in context.
TrPrado (461 D)
27 Mar 17 UTC
So they won't run off on their own to murder the polar bears, but if a player asks them to secretly it can happen assuming it's an expert that would be on board with it anyway?
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
27 Mar 17 UTC
TrPrado- Yes. This time around you will have to work together to get to the north pole and back; but if you are so inclined you can work to kill off your "allies" to attain the sole glory.

Once i explain more i think you'll like it.

going forward i want some inter connectivity between games. So the players who make it to the north pole and back will win gold from the king which can be used during the next game to advance yourself or the group. The gold is a set amount so if 12 players make it back the prize is split 12 ways... if 2 make it back then the prize is split 2 ways.

Non-Symmetrical Phase Lengths
I looked in the issue tracker and it does not appear that I can search the forum. Has there been discussion about different phase lengths for retreats and adjustments from orders? It seems like a great way to have good order negotiations while avoiding downtime for phases that don't need the additional time. This would allow something like 3 days orders and 1 day retreat/adjustment.
