Monsters turned friendly
I was wondering if there was anyone else somewhat enraged over how every ideal about classic monsters is changing.

I read this article a while ago and forgot to post it here. Card is one of my favorite authors and someone who I admire and respect.
I would like to hear your opinions on Card's article.

Advice, Please?
This is unrelated to my thread "Liberals"
I'm Germany. I've moved into Tyrolia, and I can't decide who to attack. Austria or Italy? I have already taken hostile action towards Austria, but I think I can smooth things over with him. I also know of several countries who would be interested in helping me against Austria. Furthermore, Austria has taken hostile action towards Italy. Austria would be interested in forming an alliance to take down Italy. Who should I side with?

Problems with CD
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6288

Amazing how someone can jump in and ruin a game long alliance. Good job dude, good job.
sean (3490 D(B))
14 Nov 08 UTC
? your ally went CD in a 12 hour turn game?
i don't think the new player is honour bound to keep previous agreements. i think of he replacement power from CD as a palace coup.
stratagos (3269 D(S))
14 Nov 08 UTC
Agreed, a new player has no obligation to honor previous agreements
Xapi (194 D)
14 Nov 08 UTC
CD or not, you must admit that the stab was a very good one, and definitive too.

I think he has put himself in a position where it is very likely he'll win. Most players in this site would have done it even if they where the ones to forge the alliance in the first place.
philcore (317 D(S))
14 Nov 08 UTC
I assume the "good job dude" comment was for your ally who went CD - cause he's the one that screwed you, not the new guy.

I don't really see where he could have gone CD though - he never missed an order phase, I assume he missed a retreat and placement phase in Autumn?
GuanShao (537 D)
14 Nov 08 UTC
No, i'm talking about the fact that my previous ally missed ONE turn, which shouldn't throw you into CD, at all, especially not in a 12 hour game. Then he goes and dishonors an agreement, which is stupid to begin with, without talkinga bout anything.

Whatever. Still a shit move.
kestasjk (64 DMod(P))
14 Nov 08 UTC
I'm not sure, I don't think he should have been set to CD for missing one turn unless he only had one unit left. If you have a full set of units I think you have to be away for three phases
figlesquidge (2131 D)
14 Nov 08 UTC
3 phases could still be only 1 set of moves... Indeed, you can go for 4 with just on movement phase (retreat,move,retreat,build for example)

Still, that type of stab is something you have to live with. Admittedly it's harder to predict than your main ally, although as soon as someone takes over a nation you can expect them to look for their immediate gain. After all, why else would they have paid to take over a country?
It looks like the 1911 build and the 1912 spring phases were missed.
Isn't if you miss two phases you go into CD, unless you only have one unit, in which case, you can only miss one phase before entering a CD state.
phsoccer (122 D)
14 Nov 08 UTC
Heh, I kept telling him to stab you since he took over. It was my only chance really. Pointing out that he had an easy 4 SC gain kinda did you in. How appropriate, Autumn 1914 btw.
philcore (317 D(S))
14 Nov 08 UTC
ouch! - hey phsoccer, here's some salt - go rub it in GuanShao's wounds would ya?

Completely fair. I would have done the same in flashman's shoes.
GuanShao (537 D)
14 Nov 08 UTC
I never said it wasn't fair, so thanks for that retarded comment on being fair Chrispminis. I said it was a shit move, and that CD should take longer.

I'm not upset at the movesets, it was a solid move, i was depending on him far too much, but now I could juts help Turkey start fucking him over, it was a dumb move if nothing else.

Gee GuanShao you really know how to win friends and influence people. You sound like you must be a lot fun to play a game with.
GuanShao (537 D)
15 Nov 08 UTC
I usually am, but I'm kinda sick of bullshit stabs such as someone coming into a game and ruining the balance that was established. Its just as bad as someone having multiple accounts in a single game.
spyman (424 D(G))
15 Nov 08 UTC
Which part do you object to? Is people taking over CD powers? Or is it stabbing? Or is it taking over CDs and stabbing combined?
I know it is rough when it happens Guan, but you can't expect the new person to remain in the same alliance. In fact, you cannot expect the old person to do so either.
flashman (2274 D(G))
16 Nov 08 UTC
I have a reputation to defend...

Besides, he called me dude. Rule 203 states that you never call another player dude.
Signalseven (116 D)

The previous England did in fact miss three phases. Flashman took over at a great time and is pounding you. Had you started attacking England when he stopped moving you would have been in a better position.
Centurian (3257 D)

Guan, you said it was a solid move and a shit move in the same post. Please stop crying and calling people retarded.

Post bug
I posted a couple of months back that I occasionally would make an in-game post and it would disappear instead of being posted. It was suggested to me that it was due to having multiple windows open. I may know better what is the problem.
