Corrigendum: Question 6 is worth 1 mark.

1) Tyr - Vie, Boh s Tyr - Vie...the others bounce

2) Nwy - Nth, Ska s Nwy - Nth...convoy is disrupted.

3) f - nothing against the other great players on that list, but Edi is a proven skilled player with tons of experience. I'm sure he's seen it all.

4) a, b, or c

5) b is the best answer...but I don't think metagaming is something that can be enforced.

6) b...I think.

1. You: all but Ven-Tyr (bounce)
Adversary: All fail and Vienna is dislodged
2. You: all moves succeed
Adversary: Nwy-Nth bounces, support is successful
3. b. I don't know how many times I've seen Rait survive and win games that he was in a down and seemingly untenable position. That's diplomacy.
4. a, b, and c are valid, c is best.
5. 3.
6. b.

A clarification for #5. 1 isn't specifically disallowed, however frowned upon.

Arg, I misread #2. Fail.
Zarathustra (3672 D)

1. Tyr - Vie (you)

2. Nwy - Nth (adversary)

3. How do i even respond to this? What makes the best player? Rait and Chrispminis go back and forth on #1 position. However, between the two, i think Rait would be the better player because he has played more games and has a higher win %.

4. C

5. b is the best answer, but technically only 3 is not allowed according to the FAQ. 1 acceptable in some circumstances.

6. b

I liked this quiz. it was fun :)

Results for now:
Darwyn: 10/10
thewonderllama: 10/10...is that cheating, writing after you submitted your script?
Zarathustra: 10/10...I don't like your argument on Rait being best, but I'll go with it.

Any more volunteers? No answer peeking!

Situation of Honor
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5493 In this game I agreed to draw with Both Germany and Russia. Their condition was that England is eliminated. So I offer to support Germany to finish England in return for a draw. While I can not force them to actually draw (it appears they will not) Do you think these tactics of lying in such a way is appropriate within the game of PHP Diplomacy?

Is attacking the person with the highest point total a valid strategy?
Do you guys think that attacking or ganging up on the person with the highest points for no other reason is valid? Of course its according to the rules, but isn't that arbitrary?

What do you guys think?

Support question
Can F-Black Sea support F-Cons -> Bulgaria SC? I have been told that a unit can provide support to a country it can attack, regardless of which coast, but I am concerned that in the "support to" textbox, I have the option of Bulgaria or Bulgaria NC but no SC.

bug
i can't log into this game:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5679

> A database lock (5679_map) is required to complete this page safely, but it could not be acquired (it's being used by someone else). This usually means the server is running slowly, and taking unusually long to complete tasks.

UNVarient Responses
Hi, I'm adjudicating your votes, and this seems the easiest way to talk to all of you at once. I have not received votes from all of you, when do you want the output from me? If you're trying to decide in which format to submit your responses, as one of you has asked me, the most useful for me is to have them sorted by attacking nation.

We need a player to take over Italy. It's still spring 1901 and we've paused the game to wait have a player. It's a relatively high pot PPSC game.

Full memory of Correspondence
/right now there is a limit on the space for messages so that your earlier messages get lost in cyber-land as the game goes on or as your correspondence is more intense, whcih is exactly when you really want to be able to go back to the beginning to find out where things went sideways or to go over subtle nuances that you may have missed.
Can this be fixed reasonably quickly???
