WW2 Variant (new thread) Preview ***

Here is the very very first version of my WW2 map to look at. I already posted a thread about this but basically the I just need some advice on the map. Is there anything that strikes you as obviously geographically or historically inaccurate at this stage? Before I go adding supply centres and things.

Israel needs no human rights review.

Unlike Syria and North Korea, which did in fact open up to criticism.

Let Me Ask the Question, Gun Owners and Advocates--Why?

Not wealthy should you be allowed to own guns--you should, the 2nd Amendment gives you that right--but why this is treated so often as the line in the sand...why, in short, do you seem value guns so highly as to seem to approach the point of fanatical worship (at least that's how it appears to some of us on the outside.) There is one answer I'm not buying (and I'll give it below) but aside from that...I have to know--why do value your guns seemingly first and foremost?

Diplomacy causes violence

It has just been reported that several recent stabbings in ******** were inspired by an online game called 'Diplomacy', which encourages players to 'stab' others as a major part of gameplay.
The perpetrators have denied any knowledge of the game, but mentioned the name 'Timur'. He has been tracked down to the Far East and is currently being hunted. (As usual. Never been caught yet :~)

So this catholic hospital due to malpractice saw twin boys get killed. The Father tried to sue and lost on the grounds that the fetuses were not considered life. Apparently the catholic church is pro-life only when it suits them.

I'm a bit sad we did all this trouble moving up to league A just to see the leagues getting restarted :P

orathaic (1009 )
06 Aug 12 UTC

Not restarting, your old position will be used as the primary basis for your new position.

Stressedlines (1559 )
06 Aug 12 UTC

wait, there is more than 1 league? Is this set up like soccer in England, with the worst 2 and being demoted, and the best 2 from the league beow moving up?

orathaic (1009 )
06 Aug 12 UTC

@stressed lines, yes just like that.

Draugnar (0 )
06 Aug 12 UTC

@Stressed - In the past there have been as many as 5 league tiers with 11 total leagues. I bleieve the plan is to have no more than 3 or 4 tiers and the top two will be single larger individual leagues (14 instead of 7) to reduce some of the metagaming that was happening in the top echelon and running off the best players. But some of us did really well with the interleague metagaming and used it to move up quickly (we'd say for instance "I'll help you in Game 2 if you get me the win in Game 1", then turn around and stab once Game 1 was locked). It was sort of a game within a game, but that wasn't allowed to leave your specific tier. You could root for players in the other tiers, but not try to find a way to metagame with them using outside your league influences or cross-season influences.

They are really fun. Give them a try!

Stupid question, but are these full press, gunboat etc?

Draugnar (0 )
06 Aug 12 UTC

Full press and non-anon has been the standard in the past. I assume orathaic is running it the same, just reducing the number of leagues and increasing each league's player pool on the top two tiers.
