Webdiplomacy Tournaments?
I am interested in doing some kind of diplomacy tournament but I do not know how to get started. Also, I saw a thread about GR ratings, and I was curious how you get involved to have a GR rating. Any help would be appreciated :]

Just saying.

I see no reason why he should follow rules in the situation.

The rules are the rules regardless of what you think of a game or its players.
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
I follow rules out of respect for my fellow players. If they aren't being respectful... there is no reason to follow them.

That said, I'm making a very specific point of not commenting on the actual situation here.
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
Well that's not entirely true. I follow the contract rules, (those based on entry into a game, anonymity, press etc. ) by that principle. I follow the rest out of respect for the mods/fair play.
Geofram (130 D(B))
28 Nov 11 UTC
The contract for anonymity requires that you also not discuss a game outside of the game!
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
Yeah which is why since they aren't being respectful it would make sense to ignore them

28 Nov 11 UTC
The rules should be around to ensure others have fun. No? If players are being disrespectful. CDing, then coming back. etc. They are certainly doing the opposite of that. Wouldn't that mean to ensure that people aren't stuck in ridiculously pathetic situations.. it makes sense to allow people to discuss things like that?

Good god what a game. I thought you were turkey crispers..I thought lando was France...oh well. I have to do homework and I didn't feel like the win. Great game all. :)
thanks for drawing... france, why didn't you stab earlier?

I didn't think it was that crazy a game. Lulay played well and the Lions were definitely the better team. I do think its neat that Arland Bruce III is still playing in the league. Shitty halftime show too. The Vanier Cup was much more entertaining this year, IMO.
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
.....Didn't feel like the win. But just had to let me die... Gorram it. I had already made it to 1912.

Anyway, now I know for a fact that I'm going to stick with club games only in the future. The play was ridiculous in this game.
Geofram (130 D(B))
28 Nov 11 UTC
Now that the game is over:

You guys started a thread about the game because you wanted it over and Germany wanted to go for the win. How do you ever justify that? If you are going to play live games, you need to understand that they can sometimes go for longer than 4-5 hours...
Geofram (130 D(B))
28 Nov 11 UTC
And damian, the fact that you're involved in the 150CC club makes this that much more shameful. If I was a member and this had been a club game, I'd of asked for you and crispy to be out of the group. You don't try to disrupt a game, ESPECIALLY a gunboat game, just because it isn't going your way.
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
My objection more as to do with the fact that the only reason the game didn't end in 02 was Germany voted cancel, and France voted draw, and both refused to change.

Nobody wanted to go for the win initially, every single player had a vote to either draw or cancel in 02

I neither started the thread nor, talked about the game in the most abstract of terms. Until now. When its done.

damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
Which is bullshit. By the way.
Geofram (130 D(B))
28 Nov 11 UTC
Sorry, that was a refresh. Ignore that double post!

So? Draw/Cancel votes aren't final. People can change their mind.
There's not a single player in that game worth suspecting of anything.
And most are members of the common live game group that plays regularly.
Frank (100 D)

Why is this thread not about the Gray Cup? I don't understand. I'm pretty sure most of the people posting in this thread are Canadian. No thoughts on the real Lions vs Blue Bombers game?
Frank (100 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
Also, does the prohibition on discussing ongoing games in the forum extend to CFL games?
damian (675 D)
28 Nov 11 UTC
I get that. You'll note I WASN'T discussing the game. I didn't ask for anyone to draw. I just said that I think crispy was within his rights to ask for a draw/cancel if he has to go.

@damian - You didn't just actually tell a *mod* (Geo is a mod) that the rules of the site regarding gunboat games was bullshit did you? Wow! Gutsy move. Stupid, but gutsy.

Tried to look through the forum but unearthing old posts is so cumbersome. What's the status on the current Ghost rating. I know the Ghostmaker (was that his name?) is on hiatus, but IIRC he said he would continue posting the ratings, no?

Game Starts
Is it possible to delay the start of a game? Because recently I have been forced to remake a game due to a lack of players. The game is Funny Story-2. Also is it possible for a game to start with less than max. players like in the board game.

Is this period set in stone, or does it get truncated if everyone joins the match right away? Are the first orders always due (2 * phase length) from game creation, or could it be sooner?

The Aftermath: Stabbing
Once again, I define a stab as any broken agreement or deception which leads to a change in ownership of one or more centers. In this thread I'd like to hear how you proceed immediately after you successfully stab someone. I'll chime in later in the thread.

a noob question
ok as a noob to this great game I have a question, when I move into a new country with a supply center, on the next turn it shows my unit there with a little square that is my colour and the country is still the same colour as the "enemy". why is this? do I need to leave my army to "hold" the country for a turn? or am I miss understanding the rules?
