So I'm really busy and everything's going great..
So now I'm considering the option of delegating some work around the webdesign-stuff. I have no clue how this would work legally though, amongst other things..

question about cheating investigations
I am a player in a (now paused) game "live gunshot 412." In the middle of a turn the game was apparently paused by a moderator...message was posted that the game had been paused due to a cheating investigation. Do those playing in the game find out the results from the investigation? Is it the case that even if no cheating is found that the game will still be cancelled? Can I go to bed without fear of the game resuming and me being charged with an nmr? Thank you.

Iphone/Ipad issue?
I've had to make some recent moves using these devices, and notice that in builds, I thought I've entered a fleet, only to have an army appear. It's almost certainly user input stupidity, so am I missing something in the save/ready commands? Is there a default set to army if an order is entered but improperly saved? Help - the admirals are pissed off.

I'm not sure what the protocol is, but I think you probably shouldn't be at the bottom of the rankings, Balki, given, well, the obvious. Maybe Valis can make an executive decision to put you in one of the higher boards.

It's two games...we can basically calculate Balki's rating by hand. Google docs is blocked at work for me, but I guess his rating based on those two games would be around 250, maybe higher.

If you use the Obsessive Diplomatic Compulsive tournament seeding as a rough guide, Balti Bartpotamous would have a rating of somewhere around 500-550 and a rank in the top ten, so I reckon a provisional ranking of at least 1328th is only fair.

It is a common misconception that the fleet actually carries the army. All the fleet does is provide protection and supplies to the army's military grade 4-man pedalo, which travels back and forth until the entire army reaches its destination.

That's why it takes half a year to cross the Channel.

@Espi, this is neither a league, nor is it particularly big.

Since ascending to the top rank at Playdip and winning the Top 7 world diplomacy championship last summer, I've opened my own academy and started selling an El Conquistador fashion line and action figures. I've signed up here just to give one of my new disciples an opportunity to play around with this odd Webdip interface.
