Thule bug?
I convoyed an army to Thule so I wouldn't have to make a double convoy to NWT, and now any time I try to move or convoy the army my Chrome page has an error and I have to reload. Fortunately I don't need the army, but it's an annoying bug because I'd like to try this move in a bigger game but don't want to risk the error. Anyone else encountered this? Here's the game:

Ah, Mr. Jefferson, Where HAVE You Gone...Tax Atheists For Not Going To Church? HA!
http://clergygonewild.com/cults/53-other-cults/1670-christian-leader-wants-to-tax-atheists-for-not-going-to-church
Surely everyone here can agree this is simply ludicrous? Even if you're a believer...well, by that logic, what do you do with Muslims and practicing Jews? Tax them for attending Temple or Mosque instead of Church? What DID ever happen to our American belief in a Separation of Church and State?

USS Iowa (BB-61) vs. IJN Yamato
To commemorate the Iowa's recent opening as a museum ship (and the official end of the battleship as a weapon of naval warfare), who do you think would win between a head-to-head, one-on-one match-up between the USS Iowa (or any Iowa-class) and the Yamato?

Today we celebrate our independence. Don't forget what that means when today is gone, though. Good tidings to all you fellow Americans on literally the greatest day in all of Earth's history. And don't any of you British forget what today is all about either!

I might be able to play... Depending what time it will be.. And, Will it be Gunboat or Full Press?
Alderian (2425 D(S))

@Riphen, you can check for yourself as follows. Click on Games at the top. Click on the Search submenu. Unclick all the phase lengths except "<1 hours". Set Order by: to "Pot size (Largest->smallest)". And then click on the search button. The live game with the largest pot size will be at the top. (The first game rakakoma linked.)
Riphen (198 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
@Alderian Thanks! I didnt know about that!

@achillies. Just depends on what everyone wants. For that many points I say Gunboat as Full press could be too Stressful.
Riphen (198 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
301 is probably going to be the bet. If I dont win or draw I dont want to be left with 0 D. I want a chance to get my points back.
2ndWhiteLine (2591 D(B))
09 Jul 12 UTC
Why not just bet it all then? You'd get more points back if you lost.
Riphen (198 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
Oh yea I forgot about that... Thanks.

I had a big gunboat game going on a week back and if I did something like this I would not have gained any back. I still had that mentality.

317 it is!

"Why not just bet it all then? You'd get more points back if you lost."

- explain please?! If someone loses all his points he gets new ones?? Or why?
achillies27 (100 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
If someone loses all of their points then they get restarted at 100.
rokakoma (19138 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
Nooo way! They are inflating my points! Sounds exatly like the federal reserve's policy :) if we are out of money, let's create new ones out of thin air :) and devalue everyne's wealth.

Do points restart at 100 D immidiately, or at least there's some time as "punishment"?

rokakoma (19138 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
This policy leads exactly whee we are now, unexperienced player do not respect points, high pot games, even the game itself. When there are no consequences of losing them, what gives them any value at all???
Riphen (198 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
You get started at 100 minus your points in play.. If I had over 100 D in play I wouldnt get points.. But since I only have 10 I should only get 90.

And lest we forget this is a online board game. Inflating of points is far different then money.
rokakoma (19138 D)
09 Jul 12 UTC
My problem is, I remember when I was down to 37 D, and I had to play a couple of 5 D bet games to climb back, and I had to have a lot of time, effort and stamina put into my games because I feared of falling off the site.

If there's no threat of consequences everybody is just throwing points away, ruining others' games in many cases, just because they don't care. 700 D pot live games used to have some reputation, but with this, anyone can join them without being unable to join the next one.

Well, the solution I guess is to raise pot size (as prices rise during inflation) to avoid those players who don't work for to have some kind of reputation.

Pet Adoption.
So we're looking at adopting another cat this weekend (that will bring us to 2 cats). Has anyone else found that some of the rescue for either cats or dogs have some ridiculous questions. Like where you work and the phones numbers. Your DL number and if they can come into your home and look around. I kid you not actual question off of some of the applications.

A question about Diplomacy (not Jesus)........sorry to be boring
If a game has a 24-hour phase and everybody makes their Spring moves and Readys up in 5 minutes how long do you have to wait before it moves to the next phase?
Even in 24 hour games if everybody is Ready in 5 minutes would you not want the game to progress straight away.?
I know that the Retreat and Build phase work this way but not sure about the Diplomacy phases.
