What's an Enemy?
I found that enemies are most enemies that aren't interested in the interests of other friends' enemies and most people are not people that I would make as an enemy because it takes a friend to make an Enemy with interests like those of your enemy. I always hang out with enemies but never with my enemies because our interests are the same.

So what's this thread anyway?

Why marriage at all?
I'm curious. Let's set aside the gay-marriage discussion and ask the question: why (if at all) does / should society *legally* recognize a relationship between two adults, encouraging it by granting it special legal status? What do you think are the reasons this has occurred so widely? Are they good reasons?

What's a friend?
I've found that some of the people that a lot of people would identify as my friends don't interest me and aren't that fun hanging out with for me while there's also one person in particular whom I'm always eager to help out and who is probably the first person I'd go to if I need advice/support/whatever, but I think we're both inclined not to call eachother friends.

So what's a friend anyway?

Seems like a pro map
As a nerd I look at old variants. Imagine this but with one exception: fleets can travel down rivers but armies can't cross rivers. I'm thinking about writing some programming and making this one into a variant (on a separate URL) but who here likes this map? looks like a good map for me.

NFL Pick 'em Week 11: The Playoff Push Kicks into High Gear
Well, sorry, we missed the Dolphins top the Bills...but there's still tine to pick the rest of the week! Among the early games, Bengals/Saints and 49ers/Giants are suddenly two games with four teams clawing at the edges of their playoff races, while in the afternoon, a trifecta of great games--Seahawks/Chiefs, Lions/Cardinals (with the #1 seed in the NFC on the line!) and Eagles/Packers. SNF? Brady vs. Luck and the Pats vs. the Colts! Week 11...it's getting important...pick 'em!

All Supports at a Glance

Especially in live games it's important to be able to see all supports fast. On the standard map of interface not all supports are indicated. Below the standard map you can open a large map, there you see all supports at a glance. Useful instrument, it shouldn't be neglected.

A joke from QI, as read by Stephen Fry
I recited this joke to my wife this morning, and she laughed uproariously. But I'm curious about what the general consensus would be here: humorous, inappropriate, or humorously inappropriate?

How about we make special threads for those who like 'violence' and 'abuse'?
It'd be places where, you know, krellin is allowed to live up to his true potential, and where he can share his love with YJ again through hateful remarks.. Because yes, some of us miss that.

So maybe we can get cut more slack in threads that use a specific thread designation (like *VULGAR*......*VULGAR), warning in OP not to open the thread if you're fainthearted, making clear all threats, hate remarks etc. will be jokes.. Wouldn't that work?

Need a sitter
I have 3 games, all FP, going at the moment. My primary source of contact (Blackberry) has been disabled and I won't be able to check in as often as needed. I really hate committing to something that I can't live up to, and that includes Dip games. I have no idea when I will have a new phone available to make playing more reasonable. So, I'm looking for a trustworthy soul to sit my account for a while whilst I acquire a new phone. PM me if interested.

Variant Alliance Names
I've recently become a tad curious about this. For the classic map, basically every alliance has some sort of name (as you all should be aware) from the Juggernaut to the Lepanto to the Western Triple and so on. I can't seem to find preexisting names for alliances for other maps, no matter how wonderful that alliance could potentially be. Have you all heard of any? Or else what names should there be for some of the alliances in the variants?

Noob Confused about Canceling Support w/ Attack
After a 1.5 weeks of playing a lot of live gunboat, I thought I understood that moves/attacks towards a space with a unit providing support to another unit cancel out that support. True, right? Or not? Or sometimes?
Vallk (904 D)

The site rolls a 20 sided die. If it comes up a prime number, the support cancels
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))

Right.

Simple example: you have an army in Picardy. France has an army in Paris supporting a hold in Burgundy. Moving Picardy to Paris cuts that support.
lmao. don't fuck with the confused noob.
OK 2ndW, thank you. I am going to provide the examples in a live game I am playing where it doesn't seem to be working that way. Note that it is four fleets involved in the situation, in case that makes a difference. I will get the example and post it.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

This is true, but you can't cut support of an attack against you.

ex:

France PIC to BUR supported by PAR
Germany BUR to PAR will not cut the support and PIC will get BUR.

patience, if you have a question regarding an ongoing game, email [email protected]. Otherwise, come up with a similar example situation.
Ah, of course. I will wait till the live game is done then. But abge's answer may clarify the situation. Must look again!
But I will post the game, not asking for an answer, but just because it has gotten totally wild in terms of the distribution of units and colours all over the map. lol

@patience

If you're bored while in time out, I suggest you check out the DATC (http://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php). While a bit hard to parse at first, it shows how pretty much every possible move will be adjudicated. You can also download JDip (http://jdip.sourceforge.net) and try out moves for yourself.

Oh, and you should probably check out the Rules (www.webdiplomacy.net/rules.php) as well <3
Ziiiinnnggggg! Ouchy 2ndW. That was a little harsh for some pretty honest and innocent posting by me last night. I wasn't asking about a specific move or anything in the game itself and only posted it cause it got so entertaining. All I ask about was a clarification on a general rule (thank you for the links abge)

Anyway, I have now learned my lesson about not posting general questions in the same thread as specific game links, and my bruised pride will recover :)

I greatly appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining this site. Thanks to all those involved. That doesn't mean I won't argue with y'all when the situation merits, but thanks for giving us a site where we can argue with you. Or each other.

Much appreciated. You are freely providing a service that is highly valued by many, many people.

Experimental Opening Games - Conclusions
Our games are finished and are cancelled (two are still in limbo, but they'll be cancelled soon enough). I archived the moves in a Google Doc, so if anyone is curious, check them out. There were a number of creative and successful openings, and while it's important to note that everyone was being a bit reckless, it's not hard to figure out what kind of position one might theoretically put themselves in in a more typical scenario with some of these openings.
