Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

New site feature: Voice chat press
Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

"##GM NOTE
@Captainmeme: Not sure if I fully understand the question, but at first thought (and after talking with TrPrado) we don't think that a Mafia PR using the Mafia NK to kill another Mafia PR would be in compliance with rule 7. "

Fluminator can't kill Yoyo. It's been stated by the GMs. If he's put in a kill on Yoyo right now then it's invalid and they're killing nobody.

@ captainmeme: That GM ruling did not address the specific question that applies in this case.

##CALL GM: If the Mafia team are *certain* that one of their number will be culted tonight, can they vote for that person to be killed, on the basis that they will no longer be a Mafia when the kill actually occurs?
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
I believe that was clarified on Page 67 Jamiet.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@ ND: No, it was not - not specifically enough for my liking. Please give a clear, question-specific answer.

I'm sick of the bullshit - I don't know why you're GM-ing this way. Rather than saying "I believe that was clarified on Page 67 Jamiet" you could, with no more effort, have said "Yes", or "No".

Cut the crap.
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamiet99uk: What about my answer on Page 67 does not make sense to you?

I clearly stated: "we don't think that a Mafia PR using the Mafia NK to kill another Mafia PR would be in compliance with rule 7."

Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
I have stated my request for clarification very clearly. It arises from your "Schedule of Events". I didn't compose that, you people did, so don't blame me.

In the "Schedule of Events" the Mafia NK occurs after culting and masoning. So, as I set out in my question - if a mafia player is culted and *then* killed by the Mafia nightkill, he wasn't actually "another Mafia PR" when the kill took place.

Get it?
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamiet99uk: No way for a Mafia PR to know 100% for sure they were going to be culted so thus they can't kill themselves as that would break "playing to the current win condition" of this game.
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Whatever. If it doesn't work, I'll lynch him tomorrow since that's apparently okay, or you wouldn't have counted yoyo's vote against me.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Actually yes, that is a reasonable point Fluminator.

##CALL GM: Is it permitted to players to vote to lynch their own team-mates?
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@jamiet yes that's the case in every game
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Thing is, Yoyo doesn't have same win condition as me, so killing him shouldn't be a problem.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
##CALL GM: Why is it ok for players to vote for their team-mates to be lynched? Why does this not violate the "playing to the current win condition" rule?
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@jamiet this has been done in all mafia games on this site. That's all I am going to say in comment to that question
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Well that's thunderously inadequate.
ghug (5068 D(B))
19 Jan 16 UTC
In mafia games, which this is not, it often makes sense to vote for a teammate to protect your identity. We call this bussing.
ghug (5068 D(B))
19 Jan 16 UTC
ND's answer was probably bad because he couldn't think of a good reason.
ND (879 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@Ghug: This is a mafia game (MXVI).
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
@ Ghug, I get that.... But my point is, why could threatening to nightkill your mafia buddy not *also* be a reasonable form of bussing?
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
19 Jan 16 UTC
ND, don't bother responding to Ghug's comments on this not being a Mafia game. He is just trying to provoke a reaction.
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Jamie - on pretty much every mafia site I've played on Mafia members are untargetable by the mafia nightkill. It's just how the game works. Bussing is allowed in the lynch, since it's working to confuse the town, but a line has to be drawn somewhere as to what is unacceptable and mafia killing other mafia is not allowed for that reason.

Additionally, the Mafia power roles are supposed to control the nightkill between them, so if one of them wants to kill the other and the other one does not, it's a bit of a difficult situation to adjudicate.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Surely they have a vote?
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Really Meme? You're full of shit right now.
You cannot say it's not okay for me to kill Yoyo after he tried to kill me for his own won condition.
Don't pretend, your only trying to convince the mods to not let it happen because it suits your in game agenda.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
I have just noticed that the Ninja does not have a win condition.
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Also, ninja has control over the vote in the case of a tie. Vecna was voting someone else to kill.
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
I have a new win condition I'm playing for. Lol
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Fluminator - I actually directly asked the question Can a mafia PR nightkill another mafia PR back on page 67, just after Day 2, and the answer the GM posted was no.
Fluminator (1500 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
Not being allowed to kill someone with a different won condition would be stupid. I'm not caving.
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
19 Jan 16 UTC
I'm sorry for being a dick yesterday and trying to convince Yoyo to play against his win condition. I got caught up in the heat of the moment, and since it was the only way to stop you from winning that phase I went for it. It was not a play I should have made, but it was made and here we are.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
19 Jan 16 UTC
##CALL GM: Why does the Ninja's role description not have a win condition? What is the win condition of the Ninja?

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
