Rules: What will happen, if...

Hello. Could you please explain, what will happen in the following case. There are 4 areas: 1,2,3,4, team A occupies 1 and 2, team B - 3 and 4.
Team A moves: Army at 1: move from 1 to 3; Army at 2: support move from 1 to 3. Team B moves: Army at 3: move from 3 to 2; Army at 4: support move from 3 to 2. What will happen: nothing? Or team B's army will move from 3 to 2, team's A army at 2 will be dislodged and team A's army will move from 1 to 3? Thanks for clarification.

Forum Spamming

I would just like to remind people the trouble Kestas went through to build a PM system. This means that if you have a message for an individual member, you can send it to them directly. Isn't that neat? Please stop spamming the Forum.

150cc Weekend Diplomacy Club (Take 3)

Wish you could find high quality games, with no CDs? So do I. I want to try and get the 150cc club going again, but this time I have a twist that I think will help it actually get off the ground.

Why full press live games?

I've seen a lot of live games advertised that are 5 minute phases that, once I click on them, are full press. Why? I find it hard enough to get in gunboat orders in 5 minutes once the game gets going. What is the draw to such a game?

Another suggestion on forum improvements

The forum automatically detects excessive posting and duplicate posting. Can it catch "live game" with a simple update? Provide a message and reroute to the live games thread? In that vein, can it catch various phrases regarding cheating accusations?

I hope they don't elect a new pope but instead all convert to atheism, I doubt that will happen though...

hey, it could still happen, you don't need a cardinal to be elected pope, but I think its only happened once or twice in history, if at all, that a non-cardinal was elected.

steephie22 (182 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

You don't need to be white to be elected pope either, but, well, you don't stand a chance if you're black.

Celticfox (100 )

@YJ It could be the African Cardinal. Also, only took 5 votes to elect him.

Draugnar (0 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

It does have to be an ordained priest though, correct? Someone who can lead services, conduct sacraments, and bless the host.

Celticfox (100 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

@Steephie Actually there's been african popes elected before. Just not in the last 1400 years or so.

Yellowjacket (835 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

"It could be the African Cardinal"

And Ron Paul *could* be the next American president. Lets be serious though. Conservative, Paunchy, white dude. No question.

I think it will most likely be the Cardinal from Ghana. Which will be a progressive move for the church in terms onf a non-European pope. But he's probably one of the most conservative when it comes to birth control and homosexuality and celibacy etc. Catholic church is dying anyway, so not so important.

Draugnar, I think ulytau meant Victor I as a name, as in Victor the First.

Celticfox (100 )

Would be interesting if it is the Cardinal from Ghana since his name is Peter. There's that prophecy that the last pope would have that name.

Draugnar (0 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

Sorry, uly. I thought you were responding to someone above saying "Victor, I was more..." not referring to Victor I. Honest mistake as I don't know the popes in history.

ulytau (541 )

No harm done.

Actually, YJ is probably jerking off about that +1 right now so the overall utility of the mankind has increased thanks to our misunderstanding.

semck83 (229 )

No, Draug, it doesn't technically have to be a priest. Any Catholic can be made pope.

Draugnar (0 )
13 Mar 13 UTC

Not what the news said. The news said it had to be a man of the cloth because the duties of the Pope include conducting certain high profile masses and blessing the host for those occasionas. That is something a lay person cannot do. At least they can't in the Lutheran church and I seriously doubt the Catholic church would be more lenient than the Lutheran church on that issue.

And, @ semck - Just a techincality, but I coubt a woman can be made Pope. I was doing some research and what I found said the pope must be male (so women are out) but that a non-priest could have a bishop or cardinal supply the Holy Order to/for him and then he would become a priest at that point. Odd way to do it.

Pope: Make a priest, stooge!
Bishop: Done!
Pope: Hehehe! What do you know, layman to priest in zero seconds flat without a day of seminary school!

Jezzie from Argentina. Good on economic issues. Super conservative on social issues. But what do you expect, it's the catholic church. At least it's an intellectual and a non-european.
