Jun 2015 GR Challenge - Game 1 EOGs
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=163864
Result: Two-way draw between England and Turkey (my first two-way draw!)

This was honestly a pretty cut-and-dry game for me. I can almost never say, but aside from small details, I wasn’t really once surprised by anything that happened in this game. I had fun, though, mostly because Austria-Turkey and England-Turkey are both fun alliances. EOG below.

Reliability Ratings and drop outs
We all have games where players losing drop out, but there are some which get utterly ruined by guys in pivotal positions going AWOL. Is it time that players who are proven unreliable have to sit out for a period?

EXACTLY when does a game end?
In my set of rules, rule XIII indicates that possession of a SC only occurs after fall retreats have been completed. On this site, it seems that for purposes of determining a solo victory, a victory is declared following the fall diplomacy phase prior to retreats. For clarification: on a fall turn that great power A takes its 18th SC but great power B could then retreat into into one of country A's SCs, is country A awarded a win prior to that fall's retreats? Thank you.

"Apartheid" is defined in international law in Article II of the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (and perhaps elsewhere, I don't know). The pertinent article of the ICSPCA reads as follows:

For the purpose of the present Convention, the term "the crime of apartheid", which shall include similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practised in southern Africa, shall apply to the following inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them:

(a) Denial to a member or members of a racial group or groups of the right to life and liberty of person:

(i) By murder of members of a racial group or groups;

(ii) By the infliction upon the members of a racial group or groups of serious bodily or mental harm, by the infringement of their freedom or dignity, or by subjecting them to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;

(iii) By arbitrary arrest and illegal imprisonment of the members of a racial group or groups;

(b) Deliberate imposition on a racial group or groups of living conditions calculated to cause its or their physical destruction in whole or in part;

(c) Any legislative measures and other measures calculated to prevent a racial group or groups from participation in the political, social, economic and cultural life of the country and the deliberate creation of conditions preventing the full development of such a group or groups, in particular by denying to members of a racial group or groups basic human rights and freedoms, including the right to work, the right to form recognized trade unions, the right to education, the right to leave and to return to their country, the right to a nationality, the right to freedom of movement and residence, the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association;

d) Any measures including legislative measures, designed to divide the population along racial lines by the creation of separate reserves and ghettos for the members of a racial group or groups, the prohibition of mixed marriages among members of various racial groups, the expropriation of landed property belonging to a racial group or groups or to members thereof;

(e) Exploitation of the labour of the members of a racial group or groups, in particular by submitting them to forced labour;

(f) Persecution of organizations and persons, by depriving them of fundamental rights and freedoms, because they oppose apartheid.

You will note that the anti- articles i posted refer to Arab Israeli citizens who are among the first class citizens in Israel; they spend a lot of time discussing the detail of these citizens. Meanwhile the pro- articles are talking about arabs living outside of Israel in the West Bank and Gaza: those who clearly do not have the same rights as first-class Israeli citizens.

@Ssorren, i didn't ask for your approval. Kindly say nothing if you have nothing useful to contribute.

@Orathaic - so what if they were mentioned in one of the articles, you fucking assmunch. YOu are claiming Isreal is an Aparthied state, and yet the people you are suggesting in your anti-semetic rant are A PART OF THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT.

I.e., any fucking douchebag that is even raising this question is doing so SPECIFICALLY in denial of the fact they KNOW...and hoping that they can rally hatred against Isreal.

It's a pathetic, intellectually dishonest cop-out to say. "Oh....yeah....that obvious fact that ENDS THE DISCUSSION...was in the article".


You are the classic example of the douchebag that asks, "So when DID you stop beating your wife" even though you know the guy has never been married. You don't care about the truth...the only think you care about is pushing an opinion. IN this case, you are trying to push the PROVEN-FALSE BY EVIDENCE concept that Isreal is aparthtied.

You are a dishonest asshole.

That's like saying Democrats are not really a part of the governemnt because Republicans control the house...or that Republicans are not really a part of the government, because Obama holds veto power.


Is that a part of the childish thinking of modern authoritarian Liberals....i.e. it only counts if your wield absolute authoritarian power?

And you point? DEMOCRAT Leadership in the ciry of Detroit is ALL FOR demolishing homes, in order to clear the space for more afluent people to move into neighborhoods. Same thing in Flint, Michigan.


Funny how when a Democrat enacts a policy, it is holy and righteous. When someone Democrats hate enact a policy, it is evil and oppressive.

Again, just because you don't weild absolute power doesn't mean you are powerless. But if you have no power at all, is probably because your ideas suck and are unpopular.

Again...you are childishly naive...or an intentionally ignorant whiner. Either way, toot have no valid point. We get it...you wish for mibritynopnuons to hold violent authoritarian power. That's why you are an idiot.

I know this is a feature request and I'm supposed to check the todo list, but the forum that the "todo list" link directs to doesn't seem to have been used since last year, and I can't seem to find the actual list anywhere.
