google page rank question
I have created my professional site with blogger (dikaiosini.gr) and it contains about 10 steady pages and a tab where I post news.
Posting news aims to drive a little more traffic to the site so that people may check the rest of it.
I figured I should use blogger instead of wordpress joomla or drupal cause I have the impression that blogger is better ranked in google as far as blog news are concerned
what do you think?

European Map from 1911
Wikimedia Commons has a nice map of Europe from 1911
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_1911.jpg

It's the nicest map relevant to the game of Diplomacy that I have been able to find on the internet. Has anyone else been able to find something nicer?
yebellz (729 D(G))
10 Jun 10 UTC
By "nicest", I mean of all of the historical European maps that I have been searching through this one has:
-One of the best image resolutions
-One of the best image qualities
-Excellent composition and cartography
-Perfect cropping (exposing just the right amount of Africa and extending just the right amount eastward, compare it to the large view of the game map on this site)
-Excellent timing (1911 being a good representation of pre-war Europe)

I can almost imagine that Calhamer was looking at this map when he created his game.

There are a couple of flaws.
Greece (and Albania) is shown as already owned by Turkey.
Bulgaria doesn't border the Aegean in the map.
It looks like Rumania is owned by Russia in the map, though that could be my monitor.

Other than that, looks good.

The map after the Balkan wars from 1912-1913 is a lot nicer!!
alamothe (3367 D(B))
10 Jun 10 UTC
@Dingle: Yeah a lot has changed during 1912-1913 already!!
yebellz (729 D(G))
10 Jun 10 UTC
@alamothe: do you have a link for a specific map that you referring to?

This map may be more accurate to the game board
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_1914.jpg
but I like the detail and historic feel of the 1911 map
DingleberryJones (4469 D(B))

Hmmm.... I seem to remember a Diplomacy board one time with Montenegro as a separate province. I can't remember when though.
yebellz (729 D(G))
10 Jun 10 UTC
@DJ: right, the borders in the Balkans are off, but it's hard to find a map of this quality with anything closer to the borders at the beginning of the game. If any one finds something better with similar image and cartographic quality, please post it.

I wish I could find a map of 1914 Europe in the style of the 1911 map

I like the way it writes "In Europe" and "In Asia" next to the Turkeys as if the map reader couldn't work it out for himself.

Hang on... Portsmouth is on the map but Plymouth is left off... That's it... Any respect I had for Shepherd and his maps has just vanished!

You're welcome, but sorry about the page split in the middle.
yebellz (729 D(G))
12 Jun 10 UTC
No prob, it's not like you took the photo. Even the image I originally linked also had a fold crease in the middle. Since it's just a fold and everything is still visible but just distorted in the crease, perhaps it could be ironed out in photoshop.

Any photoshop gurus on this board willing to give it try? Also that size comparison to Illinois is a little cheesy.

Makes me sick to my stomach. I don't care how well trained my daughter is at something, I would never let her go around the world on her own. I just pray she isn't a sex slave on a pirate boat right now.

If you support a unit....
If you support a unit that is supporting another unit, does it count? Say, you are Russia and you have an army in Ukraine. You want to support a fleet in St. Petersburg, so you have the army in Ukraine support another army in Moscow. The army in Moscow is supporting the fleet in St Pete. Does the army in Ukraine support the fleet in St Pete?

Seems very fishy.
Kinda weird that Italy and Austria automatically started to defend each other from the beginning. I am not going to be 'that guy', but I think they are cheating.

Why is gunboat so popular?
I'm just curious about reasons why various people like playing gunboat. Is it because they like the change of pace in trying something new? Or do some people prefer not having to deal with all of the talking and diplomacy? Or are people just looking for quick live games? Or do some people just enjoy a purely tactical game? Please chime in and share your reasons.

A not quite cheating accusation
A question regarding a game that happened some time in the past few days. Lets say I was about to join a live game, but noticed that two of the players play all of their games together and thought better of it. Lets say I watched the opening moves of said game to satisfy my curiosity and noticed the two previously mentioned players act in perfect unison from the start. Is it worth reporting this game to the mods despite not having played in it myself, or am I just turning into an arse?

Ava's Challenge: Midwest FTF Game
Hello, all. I will be spending the summer in Illinois, and would be absolutely thrilled if 7 to 8 people from the webdiplomacy community were able to get together for a day and play face to face. Of course, there is a long way between this post and any actual organized meeting, so I solicit ideas for the following:
