Could someone unpause this game, please?
The game is here: http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=9891

France is about to die as soon as the game unpaused. Our France was kicked out for some issue, and the new France hasn't unpaused and hasn't shown up again yet.

They're pirates. It's what they do!
I'll bet no one called "Parley" among them, that's the problem.

yeah but under a arranged ceasefire/truce isnt that murder
Invictus (240 D)

They're pirates! It's like shooting a bank robber.
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
under a truce, it doesnt matter who it is you cant open fire during a negotiation truce
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
well if the bank robber wasnt shooting at anyone, why shoot them?
Invictus (240 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
The pirates aren't a legitimate party to the negotiations. They're pirates!

Come on. If you can't shoot pirates who can you shoot?
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
of course they were a legitimate party to the negotiations, you cant shoot anyone under a flag of truce,it doesnt matter if there pirates
trim101 (363 D)

i do love how your whole argument is they are pirates
Invictus (240 D)

Piracy is just burglary at sea. That's all the argument I need.

Pirates are criminals and need to be stopped by law enforcement.

I know someone would defend the pirates as soon as the US and the Western nations took any kind of action. Typical antiwestern knee jerk reaction. The Samalies are and have done fare more harm to them selves than the west has done, and there response is to raid an aid ship.
Invictus (240 D)

Piracy is just robbery at sea. Robbery.
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
im not disputing that except, no real laws in international waters,plus you cant shoot people under a flag of truce it goes against all honour at all, and it will back fire, next time the pirates take a ship they wont take hostages
Darwyn (1601 D)

"Piracy is just burglary at sea"

What's an empire then?
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
im not defending the pirates at all, im saying you cant open fire under a ceasefire, if there wasnt a ceasefire an they opened fire thats fine
Invictus (240 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
Darwyn, that doesn't make sense.

There are laws in international waters. There are laws against piracy. There are a lot of laws about maritime activities. Just because cruise ships can have casinos doesn't mean that they can be floating meth labs or something.

The pirates will always take hostages because hostages are how they make money. Do you think a navy would hesitate boarding a ship after its crew was all murdered by pirates?
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
well of course not but thats what the reaction from the pirates would be. Anyway again im not defending the pirates,just saying shooting under a truce is plain wrong
warsprite (152 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
Trim what would you have us do? Wait till the captain was shot, or out of reach. The only negotiationing was how they will surrender what will happen to them if they do not.
Invictus (240 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
Can you give me a link to the situation you're talking about?

The pirates won't react by killing crews. All they really care about is money, and hostages will increase what the ship's ransom would be.
Darwyn (1601 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
What doesn't make sense?...check the link.
warsprite (152 D)

Truce and cease fire only apply to military forces.
Invictus (240 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
Darwyn, I didn't know you posted a link. That's certainly an opinion.
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
@warsprite-thats not true,invictus im saying the reaction from the pirates even just once would be to kill everyone, they attacked that aid ship with rpgs in retaliation, and its good to see you stopped arguing the shooting under a ceasefire. Also warsprite negotiaions are like let him go we let you go, they were in a tiny boat how far would they have got.
Invictus (240 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
So your solution is to kowtow to the pirates so they don't attack aid ships? We need to eliminate them.

The "ceasefire" was obviously a trick. Have you never seen a heist movie? The police never really entertain the thought of actually giving in to the criminals' demands. It's just a ruse so Denzel Washington or Sylvester Stallone can sneak in the back door.
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
o and i checked invictus if you want to have a floating meth lab you can, you just wont be able to move the drugs because as soon as you move into territorial waters you would get stopped
Onar (131 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
What if you get your supplies sent to you after you reach international waters?
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
no my solution is to just shoot them up,but again you cant fire under a truce and i cant believe your trying to use hollywood to back up your argument.How are you not getting my point
trim101 (363 D)
15 Apr 09 UTC
@onar but u wouldnt be able to move the drugs anywhere would you, you would have a floating meth lab and no way to sell/move the drugs

My new opinion of WTA
In principle, it's a better system than PPSC because it encourages winning at all costs. I, however, have noticed some of its shortfallings, and they mainly have to do with the question of how minor powers ought to play. If you have no chance of actually winning the thing, why play rationally? It's so much more fun to go completely berserk in hopes of messing up the ultimate outcome.

Private games are not listed in "Active" list. Why not?
Games started as private don't appear to get listed in the Active games list. Why would that be? I can understand why they wouldn't get listed in Joinable, but why exclude them from the Active list?
