Spirit of the Game
A situation in one of my current games has led me to wonder what exactly the "spirit" of the game is.

Quick question
Suppose you just captured a center in autumn.
If you move out of that center in winter but happen to bounce back to it, would you get a build next turn?

thanks

New sort of team game?
This will be a team game where no-one except your partner (and the arbiter) knows who you're teamed with.

No one has supported my suggestion.
I thought by now there would have been a rush of Obama supporters backing my ideal. Perhaps I should have used the figures aoe3rules stated. That would hve been more appealing to them. Per there just hung over.

Unable to break a convoy
Hi, in my game "Game of Thrones," I attacked a French fleet in the English Channel while that fleet was attempting to convoy an army into England. However, my attack on the fleet did not break the convoy - shouldn't it have?

We have it very good here. Nobody is poor, and most basic needs are secured - like healthcare, education, unemployment-money (english term?).

TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

Or "Benefit". Welfare can refer to Health and the like also.
aoe3rules (949 D)

the best place to be unemployed is Switzerland, because if you lose your job you will get up to 100% (at least 70%) of the salary you were earning for as long as you held your job. everyone could retire at age 45, yet they keep working until 75. unlike the lazy Americans. or the French.
jenspo (1242 D)
05 Nov 08 UTC
That was the cause of my initial confusion. We call the Danish socieaty a "welfare society"... That doesn't been that most peole are unemployed and receive "benefit". :-)
aoe3rules (949 D)
05 Nov 08 UTC
@Warsprite: actually, the income gap is bigger than that. how about top 2% to the bottom 65%?
jenspo (1242 D)
05 Nov 08 UTC
aoe3 That is very similar to Denmark. usually you get 80% of your salary. But there is a maximum limit. So you can't keep you huge mansion if you have no job.

the main problem with the welfare system is that there is no incentive to actually try to be OFF welfare. who wants to go back to working for minimum wage when they get handed money?
jenspo (1242 D)
05 Nov 08 UTC
God - seems like you are wrong. We have around 3-4% unemployment in Denmark. A reason could be that people actually like working... I love my job!
jenspo (1242 D)
05 Nov 08 UTC
God- But you do have a point. There are people who would loose money or at least get no more by working... Absurd really...

um, because they would get a few more cents per hour? maybe? well, i guess not.

Denmark has an army? Weren't they allied to Napoleon the last time they had a shooting war?

Well, Switzerland and Uzbekistan are landlocked and they have navies. Denmark doesn't care about our petty conflicts, but they can still have an army if they want to.

All registrants for GFDT 2008, PLEASE READ
My computer just took a dump and when it came back up, my database of registrants was completely gone. That means if you registered before today (Saturday, November 1st) before 2:54 PM CDT (19:54 UTC), I no longer have your registration information and you'll need to re-register. I've already made changes to the registration script to have it save a backup copy remotely, so this won't happen again.

I'm really sorry about the trouble this causes anyone.

Players from the diplomacy nations?
I'm interested in trying to play a game with people representing their own nations. I am English, and am hoping to find 6 others to join me in the game. How to arrange that we all get the right countries is a question, but if needed i'll open up signups on my server. Having said that, I don't know how long it will take me to find the required players.
Any volunteers?

Rules query about convoys
This is probably a very basic question for the experts on the boards. This is the scenario. A fleet in the North Sea is convoying an army from Yorkshire to Norway (which is unoccupied). The North Sea fleet is attacked by an enemy fleet from Holland, but is not dislodged from the North Sea. Will the army succesfully arrive in Norway?
