Is there ever a reason to wait to build?

The only thing I can think of is something where the only SC they can build at is a DMZ. Anything else?

Leagues- Group E

I need to find a replacement to play the last three games of this group. I did find one, but because the thread has shot off the bottom, with me being a muppet and not noting down the email, it is lost to me.

Unattended retreat ?

What happens if a unit is dislodged and the player misses the retreat phase? Will the adjuicator disband the unit or retreat it? (The reason I ask is I'm playing in a Retreats Disband variant.)

Another rules query

I know that when a unit (A) attacks another (B) it cuts any support that B is offering, whether to a move or a hold. Is this still the case if A is attacked from elsewhere? Does it make any difference if A is dislodged by the attack?

Notice

I decided to start using my real name(Sioraf as Killeens) when playing here and since I can't rename the CJ 92 account I am going to finish the games CJ 92 is in with the CJ 92 account and then let it get removed from the site or whatever then use only the Sioraf as Killeens account. I think this is fair because I have never used both accunts in the same game.

Out of curiosity, what kind of name is Sioraf as Killeens?

CJ 92 (179 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

It's Irish for Giraffe from Killeens, not my real name officialy,it's currently my pen name but in a few years it will be my real name officially and I don't think of myself as my original name, I consider myself Sioraf because I think it has a more accurate meaning than my original name, tall describes me better than gift from God I feel.

Ursa (1617 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

Maybe change it to 'Tall gift of God'?

CJ 92 (179 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

:)
Amusing but a bad idea, I'd be better off just calling myself "Vain" if I wanted to do that.

Magnus the Red (100 )

Wouldnt it be Celtic for giraffe from Killeens? Didnt think Irish was a language.

Ursa (1617 )

Calling yourself 'Vain' would be a real pity, esspecially if you mean what I think you mean...

Sicarius (673 )

hey weird my profile says I'm playing two games, when its obviously one.
huh.

I thought "irish" was gaelic?

spartan492 (381 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

Irish, Welsh and Scottish are 3 different variations of Gaelic. They are quite similar but not totally the same. Cornish is a fourth example of a Gaelic variation.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

You wouldn't be allowed to call yourself "vain" anyway...

I won't even bother telling you the punch line to that one. You must have all seen it.

CJ 92 (179 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

Celts are the people and Gaelic is the language. Not all forms of Gaelic are even relatively similar even though Irish and Scots Gaelic are.

Well. let me explain: you said your your current name means 'gift from God'. I believe that's true. Your existance is a gift from God, every second and every breath. When you say you should be called 'Vain' I guess you mean you don't believe in God (anymore)? That would be a real pity, and your live would surely be in vain...

I do believe in God and have for most of my life so far. I don't think I'm worthy of being called a gift from God however.

Friendly Sword (636 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

I have a confession to make. I am not actually 'Friendly Sword'. In fact I am not friendly... to anyone. Enemies are treated with cold pain and subsequent death while friends are ignored.... my name is really a misnomer. I would be more accurately described as 'Vengeful Abrasive Sword'.

And I suppose that since I'm on the roll of truthfullness I guess I should admit I'm not really quite Sword-length, though my hilt is actually really nice, so maybe I should be called "Vengeful Dagger".

Though of course, my edge isn't that sharp either....

And on that note I'm not really all that antagonistic either... just unfriendly I guess. I don't actually keep grudges...

Sigh, from now on I suppose ou should refer to me as 'Unfriendly Butter Knife"

If you annoy me I will uselessly scratch at you until you submit.

Oh, and CJ, or Sioraf, or whatever your name is, would you not agree that if you are a good person and honour God and do all that which religion wants to see in a person, would you not be a Gift from God? You were created by God, you have been sent to the Earth and you (I presume) exhibit gift-like qualities.
Just a thought.

@CJ92: somewhat in accordance with Abusive Sword, you don't have to deserve being a gift from God. You are, simply. No thing you will ever do will change that. I guess your parents saw it that way too.

Sioraf as Killeens (195 )
22 Oct 08 UTC

Hmm, how about we just call you Sharpe because those four nicknames are sharp weapons? I agree with you but I don't fit all those qualities listed so I'm not a gift.

Let the beer and and wine flow.

I have question for are European friends and other persons living in nations that are more open with alcohol "for human consumption". Paticularly age limits. The U.S. as you know has long history of proabition and that has caused more harm than good. Is alcoholism, drunk driving and etc as much a problem there as it is here?

Attention! All games where someone has gone into CD with 0 supply centres report in!

Lets imagine it... your in the middle of an exciting game and you've technically just eliminated someone, but they are too chicken to finalize that last retreat or destroy order. These games are free to take over, so im on a personal mission to take over these unwanted positions and finalize that final order. I know this will add to my number of losses (will it?), but im feeling nice and everyone wants these games to move on.
