A Couple New Games
I just finished all the games I was playing and am looking at getting into a couple more. I have heard it said that, if you want fewer NMR's in your game, advertise on the forum, and so here I am.

I'm thinking Classic, PPSC, Anonymous, Full Press, 1 day/phase. Buy in 30-50. I'd love to start 2 games (one higher bet, one lower) if enough people are interested. Reply or PM if you want in.

Scrolling messages, perhaps iPad related?
I'm starting my first game on this site and I've received several long messages from other countries. I can only see the last paragraph or so of communications on the screen and there is no obvious way to scroll back for the rest. Am I missing something? I'm using an iPad and haven't been able to check from a laptop yet so maybe the issue is iPad related.

CD Takeovers
No one ever takes over low-SC CD's, because they have little chance of profiting. This frequently results in a cancel, which *rewards* the person going CD, and even if someone does take over, this disappears from their statistics. I have a solution to fix this problem.

Get it out of your system.
Insult the person who posted before you.
Most days, thanks to the quasi-anonymity of the internet, there are a ton of insults thrown around in this forum. Use this thread to get the rage out of your system. Post a reply insulting whoever posted just before you. It doesn't have to be factual, it just has to be insulting.
I'll go first, and this applies to you all: You're ugly and nobody likes you.
Your turn.

Support hold question.
I order Unit "A" to move, breaking one of opponents support orders to move on me, a standoff occurs. I order Unit "B" to support hold Unit "A" as my opponent orders two other units to move on Unit "A" also. Does Unit "B's" support hold of Unit "A" fail because Unit "A" was originally ordered to move?

Can any of you remember Laptop theft being a significant problem on your campus? Thanks guys.
Geofram (130 D(B))

There were always those few. I usually avoided the token "everyone studies here places" and usually found hideaways in parts of the library. Laptops get stolen when you get up to go get a drink or use the washroom. Just don't be that trusting. Or use a kensington lock.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

I've been on my campus for 2 years now, and there has only been one reported theft of laptop, and I'm at a campus of a little over 20,000 people. That said, I would always lock my door when I'm not there. No reason to give people an opportunity to steal your laptop.
Triumvir (1193 D)
09 Apr 11 UTC
The only laptops I ever heard about getting stolen were taken when left unattended in a public area, or from a dormroom that was unlocked. If you take simple precautions (like locking your door or not leaving it sitting around) you should have a problem.
Same here. Just don't leave it unattended in a public space, and don't leave your room unlocked. That said, I leave mine out in the floor lounge all the time, but I trust my floormates completely. that might confuse you for the room locking, but its amazing how many people can get in dorms that aren't supposed to be there (at least in my school)

It's not at all a problem as far as I can tell. I have only heard of one person having their laptop stolen and it was not on campus. It was actually from a house students were renting which got broken into.

Sorry didn't mean to bump again, just refreshed the page. Stupid droid.
My dorm has 3-4 (depending on which route you take) electronic locks from the outside doors to my dorm room. As long as I don't leave a laptop unattended in a public place I'm good.

Of course, there was the one time I left it in one of those one-stall bathrooms for five minutes... luckily only one person managed to get in there after me before I returned, so there really wasn't any chance of it walking.
宮本武蔵 (100 D)

We don't have a problem of theft so far, one can even leave the laptop unattended in libraries (if it is not for too long) and even if it disappears it means only that some staff or well-meaning student took it to the reception. Of course, I did not try to leave for hours, but I left a Mac Air and the new Mac Pro several times unattended in a crowded room for 50 or 70 min and nothing happened.

Of course, I also do lock my door ;)

I've never heard of a problem, or known anyone who had that problem...

Then again, I've only brought my laptop with me once, I just use a flashdrive to save the files I need to work on and then load them to work on a school desktop in the lab...

But I'm sure such a thing happens.
I once accidentally left my backpack with a few library books on the track after conditioning and it was still there when I went to get it more than a day later.

I used to be one of those guys that would leave my laptop in my second-home coffee shop and walk outside to take a phone call. Now I don't let anything out of my sight. I don't know if its having left the college town or just coming to respect my belongings more, but to me now, living in a dorm would be so worrying! (Granted I was so poor there was nothing to steal, but heh)

Puddle I think you should ask this question spesifically to your campus mates. Theft issue changes from university to university I'm afraid...
Puddle (413 D)

I've asked some people from the specific university, but wanted to get a general idea.

@Geo, nothing terribly exciting, working for most of the summer, and going to michigan with a close friend as I always do. In between undergraduate and law school though, that will be an exciting year.

I mostly play gunboats, but I'm been dipping into some live games and I see people copy pasting messages a lot. I don't like it. I know it can be faked, but that seems like so much work. How do other players feel about it?

Everyone knows those mid-end game 1 SC, nomadic countries of whom the only goal is to annoy you, their conquerer. IE the one center England that has snunk from Ediin-Norway-Den-Kiel-Bel-Brest and is now vacationing in Portugal, etc. My question is, how do you deal with them? Do you negoatiate? Do you send extra units to cut off all escape routes and gain the much yearned for destroy? or let it sit and fry the bigger fish?
