Cutting a support move for your own unit
I'm sure you cannot cut support move for your own unit by hitting the unit that is supporting your other unit. However if another player is supporting the move of your unit would hitting the unit of the other player that is supporting yours cut the support for your own unit.

I posted a message before asking how to access older PMs and got the answer that there isn't a direct link. However, unless I misunderstand something http://webdiplomacy.net/index.php?notices=on points to your notices page. Bookmark that and viola! (Right?)

Yes steephie, there is a certain level of trust that goes into most interaction with other humans. We can't cover everything. If you fake drunkenness, you're a pathetic human being and don't deserve to have alcohol ever again.

"If you fake drunkenness, you're a pathetic human being and don't deserve to have alcohol ever again."

Common strategy at the poker table, but then we poker players aren't exactly known for being the most virtuous. Kind of like Diplomacy players. Whatever gives you an edge and isn't spelled out as cheating is fair game in poker, diplomacy, and life in general.

End of each year, you have to drink in accordance to the number of centres you have divided by 3. If you are forced to disband, drink.

I think that would probably be a sufficient amount of drinking for a diplomacy game, while having the added benefit that those who are doing better, drink more.
