Rule question!
Here is the situation (actual positions and countries are different, but the situation is the same). If Germany's army in Ruhr supports its fleet from Holland to Belgium and England's fleet in North Sea supports its army from Belgium to Holland, what happens? It bounces, right?

Bounce if no other units are involved, including units cutting support.

The best thing to do in these situations is to first figure out if/where support has been cut, remembering that a unit cannot cut support to a move that is directed at itself. Therefore these '2 on 2' situations always result in a bounce (red moves to red for both) or both moves succeeding (red moves to yellow for both)

No worries guys :) Thanks for the explanation, but, yes, I just needed a quick verification that my thinking was correct. I was going to use a supported bounce to make a move out of one place and defend two others. It was a little bit too much going on in my head and I was afraid I got mixed up. I just needed that vote of support to make sure I figured it out right in the end. I got a bit rusty on the more complex move sets because I have only just recently got back on the site.

As to points, yes, I played a lot when this site was still phpDiplomacy and have only just been getting back in this past two months. I got the large majority of the points from a big PPSC game I won against MadMarx and some other big point folks at the time. I think it was the game that got MadMarx into 1st position for the first time, though I may be mistaken there. In short, yes, I know what I am doing for the most part :) Oh, and shut up orathaic. Everyone knows D sprout out from kestas's head, all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright.

What if France supports Picardy to Belgium from the English Channel as well? What happens then?
Zarathustra (3672 D)
29 Oct 11 UTC
Santosh, I believe it would bounce because it is still a 2 v 2 situation in essence, just another 2 are involved (2 v 2 v 2). It is the same as a 2 unit force from each country trying to enter the space.
santosh (335 D)

So the German move to Belgium certainly doesn't succeed. Outside of the fact that the English move from Belgium to Holland and the German move from Holland to Belgium equal each other, France has a 2-attack on Belgium, so can you potentially adjudicate that the German move to Belgium fails because of the French attack on it, and so the English move to Holland succeeds?

For a more mathematical approach to the rules see chapter 2:

http://www.diplom.org/Zine/S2009M/Kruijswijk/DipMath_Chp1.htm

The moves all get strength 2 for prevention, defense and attack. With as result that eveything bounces.

Someone not unpausing a game
Ok so i am in a game currently that has been paused for about 3 weeks now. We as a group decided to pause it for one of the players playing was needed elsewhere in life. however, now we are wanting to unpause it and get the game moving, however our persia is not unpausing it. i believe it may be because he is losing....i am not sure how to proceed with this because it is my belief he will not unpause the game. What should we do about this game?

Could somebody please explain why FTL neutrinos imply time travel?
I'm just watching "Faster than the Speed of Light" on the BBC with Prof Marcus du Sautoy and they said this (and break cause and effect), but they glossed over the how. I don't get it. How is FTL travel going to break cause and effect let alone time travel?
