By the way, when I said dinner, I did in fact mean a meal at a table with food and cutlery etc. Not sure what you're on about Draugnar...

@cgwhite - if you have someone or something *for* dinner, you are consuming them as your dinner. You can have them *to* dinner or have them over *to* dine.

For instance, I'm having Blue Grass Metts for dinner tonight. They aren't invited over to eat with me. I am eating them.

What you should have said was "a polite invite to the young lady to dine" or "a polite invite to the young lady to have dinner"

Having someone "for" dinner is a very common colloquialism. I hear it all the time and I've yet to hear of any cannibalism outbreaks.
Draugnar (0 DX)

I know it is. But I've also heard "eat [her] up" as a colloquialism that has different meanings depending on who says it. A guy in a bar looking at a hot chick on the other side of the room chatting with his friends versus a grandma talking about her newborn grandbaby. But I wanted to take the literal statement at face value and then twist it with a double entendre.

It's too bad we're sitting here tarnishing flash's niece's name instead of playing Diplomacy.

That's right, it's flash pimping out his niece, not you.

Since we're (or at least were, briefly) on the subject of anagrams, I discovered several years after I started using "Snitch" as my online username that my real name is an anagram of "Snitch Rephrased". How freaky is that?

Now trying to work out what your surname is (got the forename)!

And come on people, Flash was just trying to be friendly :)
Draugnar (0 DX)

How can you be sure of then forename? Could be Finch or Fin or Faith (what if Father Snitch is a woman?)
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Uh, Draug, where in "Snitch Rephrased" are you getting all those F's?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there probably aren't three more here from Montana... so let's extend the geographic area to the states in the Rocky Mountain region. Any chance there are enough interested parties to field a team for the next World Cup tourney?

Suggestion: Draw by centers
A lot of games end up with finishing off draw participants. Maximizing the outcome for the remaining powers. Not the best practice, from a certain perspective. Would it make sense to have the option for draws to not be equal. Everyone gets 1/7th (his entry cost) + a part of the rest, split proportionally to center count.

Can a convoy cut support?
I'm about to convoy an army to a territory A, with support from an adjacent territory B. My opponent has a unit in territory A and a unit in a third territory C adjacent to territory B. I'm worried he may order terC-terB with support from terA. I know that this will cut support from terB and make the convoy fail, but will the convoy at least cut support from terA and make his attack fail as well?
Thanks!

chat room?
how much server strain would it be to set up a chat room for the live gamers? Working on the theory that you would then get to see who really was around, and whether or not it was worth starting a fresh game. Having the option to place icons after a name for things like "in a game" and "keen to play", and being able to show idle times and stuff like that?

Being new here I don't know if this has been discussed before but would be interested in feedback.
