An Awkward Situation
So Russia went CD and a newbie took the country over. I typed a pretty drawn out discussion of the current political climate and what my next moves were, along with some suggestions about what they could do. When I hit send, it apparently glitched massively, and when I hit the "Global" message tab (thinking it had sent normally), it posted there for everyone to see.

Taking Advantage of an NMR
What do you think of this? I am in plenty of day phase-36 hour phase and 5 minutes before I am logged and I changed my orders so I could snag an SC of someone who's NMR-ed. What are your opinions

Stereotypical Accents Public Press
We had a great game going where people speak (type) in a caricature of a stereotypical accent from your country. Draw germany, talk with a german accent. Lots of fun, but had someone that needed to drop due to what seems to be a valid reason. so, we want to start one up again, and we need two more people!

What about the other (anonymous) games I am playing? What if by accident one of the players there is my sitter and he reads all the communication, or worse - will find himself sitting a game where he is playing as well?

FOB is probably referring to me, Bask. I gave him hell for his homophobic remarks and he just kept digging his hole deeper with lame excuses like "flaming gay" means silly or stupid then called me a fag. So I pulled a Draugma King on his ass and called him an incestuous pedophile using my best catch phrases but avoiding any homosexual references. Let's just say I will never play an anonymous game with him outside of an unavoidable one in the GFDT. I will metagame his ass should I meet him in a non-anon and non-league game in the future.

Haha, no, Draug, its not you. I don't care if you metagame me, you'll just lose more games too. And I'm not a homophobe, but you sure can hold grudges over silly shit.

No, it was this guy named principians. We were in a live game, and I suggested we draw after I finished knocking out Italy (as Austria). Well, I got tired of see-sawing with Italy, so I suggested a 4-way draw.

And principians was a cockmunching Spanish asshole who thought I played "dishonorably", and tried to knock me out before drawing with France and Italy. So we played 2 more HOURS, and sure enough, even though France and Italy stopped helping him, he knocked me out of the game.

So, the entire time he was doing this (and knowing full well he was Spanish from Spain), I, in true FOB fashion, started calling him all sorts of derogatory names for Mexicans. I don't think that helped my diplomatic position, but it was pretty funny.

FOB, on most things I don't hold a grudge and I probably won't here long term, but when your best friend dies of a heart attack and stress over the harassment he got for being gay was one of the factors, you get a bit pissed when people decide that making homosexual slang references as insults is acceptable. I made a promise to Gary (my friend) to stand up for him when he was alive and I continue that promise to this day. I can handle obvious shock humor like "Crazy Uncle Fucker" from South Park: BLU. But your slam wasn't funny and was out of line. I'll just have to remember you have the maturity of a thirteen year old and let it go.
FriedOkraBlues (100 D)
14 Sep 10 UTC
Dude, assuming your friend wasn't 35 or older, and didn't have a congenital heart defect (which would have been the sole cause of his heart attack), then your friend dying of a heart attack because of stress is beyond the realm of unlikely.

Now, given, my grandfather had his first heart attack at age 28, but that was because he was built like an ox, was a two-pack-a-day smoker and farmer, and had just gotten back from WWII (aka: extreme stress plus arteries like sausages).

So, as far as I understand, primary causes of heart attacks in those under 35 are: drugs, alcohol abuse, diabetes, physical trauma, morbid obesity. Stress in those situations would be an extremely minor factor.

This is beside the point. You can defend your friend Gary. I'll defend any gay person's right to even marry whoever they want to. I won't defend someone's right to be overly sensitive about every remark out there that is potentially offensive to the class or type of people that included your friend.

Who does that? "YOU MADE FUN OF CAPRICORNS. My dead grandmother was a Capricorn, and died because people made fun of her for being born in late December."
FriedOkraBlues (100 D)
14 Sep 10 UTC
I'm an extremely reasonable person, so the fact that you're getting all pro-gay fired up is funny to me. It just shows you the double-edged sword of anonimity on the internet. Some people get your schtick, and some don't.

I mean, for christ's sake, I called a (Spain) Spanish guy a "wetback" for 45 minutes just to get a rise out of him in the last live game I played.
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Sep 10 UTC
FOB. Considering I'm 44 and Gary was older than me, I'd say your "considered" assumptions are way off base. Gary was about my age now (this was 5 years ago) and a bit heavy (aren't a lot of us 40 somethings) so, yes, stress was a major contributing factor.

Anonimity goes both ways even though it is well known around here that I'm in my mid 40s.
FriedOkraBlues (100 D)
14 Sep 10 UTC
Wow, he was 40 and was stressed out about being made fun of for being gay? That's what threw me off -- you don't see people well into their 40's stressed out about that. Every single gay man I know (other than ones in Southern Baptist families) have long given up caring about homophobes by that point.

Sorry, but the "he got made fun of a ton" part kind of made me think he was 20.

GFDT Update:

There is a change to the Pause Policy. Each player will be allowed 1 pause of up to one week in length. It will be expected that all players within the game will honor this rule when requested by a player. If additional time is required, it may be requested by emailing the Tournament Director. If a pause lasts for longer than the allowed time, players should email the Tournament Director.

Rules Question?
A game I was in just ended, and there was no retreat phase after autumn. Carthage could have retreated a unit from Chersonesus to Sinope to keep things tied at 17s. Is this correct? Is the game over as soon as the fall turn ends and one player has eighteen centres? I would have thought Carthage would still get to make his retreat.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
This shouldn't have happened! In this game: gameID=32450, I'm Near-East. I ordered Syria to support move from Saudi Arabia to Iraq. Iran supported Iraq, so it failed. However, India, who occupies Iran and Iraq, ordered Arabian Sea to Saudi Arabia with support from Iraq. Shouldn't Iraq's support have been cut when I attacked it?
