Unions
Can anyone explain to me why I'm strongarmed into paying a bunch of highway robbers ~5% of my teaching salary? As far as I can tell, the only thing my union has ever done is prevent me from negotiating my own salary. Thanks for that.

Country Randomizer
I have been playing here for some time, and I'm a little upset with the way the randomizer works. I have started in 25 games and have not once been chosen to play as Turkey. I have been Turkey once when I joined midgame. I would like to play a game from start to finish as Turkey, but it has yet to happen. Can somebody explain how the algorithms work exactly and why I have yet to be Turkey yet have been Russia now 6 times.

Putin's Dilemma
One of many liberal paradox's, I call this one Putin33's Dilemma:

USA must intervene in all humanitarian war disasters (CAR, Syria, S. Sudan, etc.) -- but if USA intervenes in war, the USA is committing war crimes in the act of war itself (Drones kill!).

Draug did NOT get addicted.
gameID=132439

France was an *idiot*. I brought two fleets down to help him hold the line and he instead decided to take my SCs. Then, when the line was held again, he attacks my fleet and pops it leaving one fewer defenders on the line that was our eventual downfall. Roka, you are a fool!

[Bug] Can't move a fleet from Petra to Nabatea

It's a private game with a good group of players that has played together fairly frequently. Russia has had some family matters that he needs to attend to and must leave the game.

Is the incentive to not abandon a game effective? How about the incentive to take over an abandoned position? Discuss it in this thread.

Also, feel free to use this thread to name, shame, troll and nag those horrible people that abandon positions. I'll start. Kerzhakov is a dick (gameID=134319).

I'm doing a research paper for sociology about Diplomacy. Does anyone have statistics regarding elimination in F2F games as opposed to games on here? Ideally, I'd like to see how early the first elimination occurs in a face to face game versus online.

Ouch... there is no ill intent, my friend... taking a moment to send a post is not the same as thinking through my moves. I try to give my games and my opponents the attention they deserve, and with three small kids and a sometimes high stress job that means needing the full phase time sometimes. I never save to delay or be an ass. If you need the games to go faster, shorten the phase length... also, I leave myself logged in session during the day... that doesn't mean I am actively on the system... don't be hating on me, friend...

SplitD has spoken - Eunuch is dissin' his compardres ...... you won't get into the top games until you show 'nuff respect mate, you need to grow a pair, maybe even move to Croatia ....... you have been blackballed by the self-appointed King of Dip.
The only gentlemanly thing to do to here is leave the site to minimise the humiliation, to make your shame complete .... join vDip and where the hair shirt.
In 3 years time (when you are living in Split) pop around to the Kings house and beg forgiveness, then maybe he will let you play again.

I'll take it roka if you still need a sub. I don't think I am in the one you are asking about.
@rokakoma finish the game and then leave if you want.Don't ruin the game by leaving the site,it would be ironic as you want to leave the site because someone ruined your game.
rokakoma (19138 D)
12 Feb 14 UTC
Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to say, how can you expect me not to ruin anyone's game, when others do with mines?

And most of all, I want to have a replacement exactly for that reason not to ruin your game. I think, that's actually a courtesy of mine, finding a proper replacement instead of fucking up your game.

Nigee, the problem is not losing a game. The problem is, I put hours of work every day, sometimes into a single game, to figure out moves years ahead. And then somebody comes and ruins it totally.

It like you are painting your apartment for days, and the moment you are finished, you upper neighbour forget the watertap open, and flushes your entire home. Or when some idiot crashes into you, meanwhile you did everything according to rules, but he is drunk, or unstable, whatever and simply kills your family member.

I take this fucking game seriously, I had only one resign, because of a phone call, I can think 2-3 hours on 1 single move, (which is needed if you want to win high pot games), and so on.

Yet, someone comes and simply destroys weeks of my work put into a game, by sacrifying himself and dragging me down with him. I just cannot stand depending on people who are threatening my life/game/apartment/whatever.

What's the point of playing if I cannot enjoy it? Nothing I guess, so I'm leaving because I cannot join a game, where I can feel safe. (Excluding those top7 games, which I have never had any problem, whatsoever at all, those guys don't do stupid things)

That's all.

I second rokakoma's frustration at times, and it sounds like he simply reached his breaking point. He'll be back, he just needs to blow off steam for a few months or however long it takes.

It's definitely a bigger issue with gunboat over press. Coordinating on the stalemate lines to stop a solo takes a good amount of wherewithal in gunboat, whereas in press I feel it's more on the onus of the solo'er to convince someone they should help him with the solo for one reason or another. One weak gunboat player on the stalemate line does ruin things when you can't directly advise on what seems like the obvious moves to stop the solo.
