Live games always start at their scheduled start time, right?
Even if it fills up like hours before the start time?

Sitter needed
I will be away July 15-30 and need a sitter. I will have three games active but they are in the Masters and League C1 so you cannot be in either of those. PM me if you are interested.

Divide et vinces. Comments on Sudan's outcome
I've been following lately everything that has being going on there and I was wondering if history is going to repeat itself as, quoting one of my friends 'divorce often leads to even greater poverty and woe'. Indeed, being Africa, some argue that harping on “blood of martyrs” they'd better prepare for tribal violence and government corruption.

Stabbing not nice?
So I got this question: I may be fairly new to this game, but I read up a lot and have a few games under my belt. But as far as I understand, stabbing is an integral part of this game, right? But still I get players with lots (LOTS) of games finished really bitching (and I mean bad 4-letter words here) at me for stabbing them. Is it them or me? What are your thoughts?

The Diplomacy Map
Corisca is a French territory, but is colored according to whoever holds an Italian territory (Tuscany I think?) when it should be the color of whichever power controls holds Marseille. Whereas Sardinia is Italian and never changes color (and neither does Crete). Meanwhile Iceland changes color based on whoever owns Clyde instead of the more logical Denmark or Norway. These questions going unanswered hinders my ability to play Diplomacy and function normally in day to day life.

"Learning the lessons of the past"
Its what I get every time I talked about history with my students, I nodded in support but I really wanted to tear my hair out. Are there truly lessons from the past or are those "lessons" merely the result of hindsight?

Sad to see you go, TGM. Hopefully you'll be back after you have university whipped, but real life should always take priority over a game. Let us know if there is any way we can help you if you ever need it.
Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Funny, I was considering volunteering, but I think it would have to be a mod because of the access required to get the data. But I believe Ghost has it scripted fully now so it doesn't require complex maths knowledge to do.

Man, TGM... You announce your leaving and TheGhostmaker (my black ghost knife fish) passed last night. I think he was upset you'd be out of hislife. But seriously, I came home to find him no longer breathing. He recovered for a while but then expired. So I guess I have to get a new fish. Maybe something psychotic and silly and call it "hellalt".

LOL! Only problem is Mack the Knife (my 10" Bala Shark) would eat a betta for a light snack. I was thinking a large brackish water puffer. HE could puff himself up whenever he saw the shark like hellalt tries to puff himself up whenever he sees the Ghostratings and discovers I'm still kicking his ass. :-)
hellalt the puffer fish... I can see this. I like it.

It's okay for hellalt to have ambitions and to try to get there. Doesn't mean he'll succeed or get into the history book, but try he should.

Thanks for continuing with the GRs, Ghost. BTW, your namesake had a "burial at sea" in the lake out back.
Thank you for all you've done TGM. You will be missed
Thanks for all the hard work Ghostie. Good luck at Uni and in the future.

Wherever you are and whatever you do, always cut the cards.

God damn it... one of the last bastions of vaguely sane thinking is leaving us!

Well... if you consider an intent to only come here a few times a month "leaving"...

An intent that will almost certainly be corroded over time, as when it comes down to it a light hearted fun game doesn't take up too much study time...

I give it six months before he's back here just as much as he always was :p

Internal 500 Error
I'm playing my first live game and I keep being interrupted by 'Internal 500 Errors' - I tried to reload but I missed my go because I couldn't get back to the game from this error page. The help page that appears says the game will pause but it didn't and now I lost my go. I see the same thing happened to another player. Is there anything that can be done please?

Noob building question
I own a SC, Greece (it is my color) and have no unit on it. I have 6 territories and 5 units. It is the build phase.

Why can I not build on Greece? The option to build is there for all other unoccupied SCs, which are coincidentally the same ones that I started with. Am I only ever allowed to build on my starting SC's?
