Live games always start at their scheduled start time, right?

Even if it fills up like hours before the start time?

Divide et vinces. Comments on Sudan's outcome

I've been following lately everything that has being going on there and I was wondering if history is going to repeat itself as, quoting one of my friends 'divorce often leads to even greater poverty and woe'. Indeed, being Africa, some argue that harping on “blood of martyrs” they'd better prepare for tribal violence and government corruption.

Stabbing not nice?

So I got this question: I may be fairly new to this game, but I read up a lot and have a few games under my belt. But as far as I understand, stabbing is an integral part of this game, right? But still I get players with lots (LOTS) of games finished really bitching (and I mean bad 4-letter words here) at me for stabbing them. Is it them or me? What are your thoughts?

The Diplomacy Map

Corisca is a French territory, but is colored according to whoever holds an Italian territory (Tuscany I think?) when it should be the color of whichever power controls holds Marseille. Whereas Sardinia is Italian and never changes color (and neither does Crete). Meanwhile Iceland changes color based on whoever owns Clyde instead of the more logical Denmark or Norway. These questions going unanswered hinders my ability to play Diplomacy and function normally in day to day life.

"Learning the lessons of the past"

Its what I get every time I talked about history with my students, I nodded in support but I really wanted to tear my hair out. Are there truly lessons from the past or are those "lessons" merely the result of hindsight?

...As the title says, I'm going to be leaving webdiplomacy now for an indefinite period. My first year at university has, in ways both expected and unexpected, changed my priorities. I do feel some sadness saying goodbye to some really enjoyable times here, but would now rather look back in fondness than neglect other things and people important to me.

I could waffle here, but I guess I only want to say one thing; it’s something I’ve not said enough over the past 4 years, after games, tournaments, after having help, discussions and idle chit-chat:

Thank you.

Thank you all for making this site a wonderful place that I could enjoy for so long.

Thanks guys (and gals)

we all hope this is not the last we see of you, but happy trails good sir =)

I echo the others' comments--sad to see you go, for we will truly miss your wit, your sarcasm, your invaluable contributions like the GR. But it has been a privilege to know you, I believe you are destined for great things, with your superb mix of technical talent and people skills. In a few short years, I think some of us will look back and remember proudly that we knew you, at least in your online form

Don't let the door hit you on the ass! You won't be missed, all those poor mod judgements, bizarre laissez -faire free market opinions and a Ghost Ranking system that is so fixed that I'm outside the top 100.

No doubt I'll hear about you in the future when you're running the country.

Internal 500 Error

I'm playing my first live game and I keep being interrupted by 'Internal 500 Errors' - I tried to reload but I missed my go because I couldn't get back to the game from this error page. The help page that appears says the game will pause but it didn't and now I lost my go. I see the same thing happened to another player. Is there anything that can be done please?

Noob building question

I own a SC, Greece (it is my color) and have no unit on it. I have 6 territories and 5 units. It is the build phase.

Why can I not build on Greece? The option to build is there for all other unoccupied SCs, which are coincidentally the same ones that I started with. Am I only ever allowed to build on my starting SC's?
