All games were apparently automatically paused. Can they now be automatically unpaused? At least non-live games.

No one REQUIRES you to check in every day. You CHOOSE to do so when you enter a game with a certain phase length, a certain number of excused missed turns, or a certain Reliability Rating.

I'm happy to switch to the four player variant: I/R, A/F, T/G, E by itself

Bumping this up, hoping to get 4 more players for this cool-sounding game.

Minister, how are you posting here, but not entering your orders in our game?

It means that country has not entered any orders yet.

I think this is a cool idea.

Pity the guy that gets Germany.

I don't think you did anything wrong in joining a game for novices when you are more experienced. Your point level is open information and everyone can protect themselves accordingly. You may have run afoul by joining a game with your friend, if your off-game relationship with that person was not di...
