Possible order submission bug?
I know, I know, it's probably user error... mods, sorry to take your time, but please check the details within, as there's a live game with a potential example of the bug I'd like to report....

* 10-minute phases (hopefully people while finalize faster than that)
* perfectly divisible pot (it's a points per supply center game)
* No press (messeges)
* This is just what I need to simultaneously help me write an essay. ;-)
* I finished my last Diplomacy game in January and have never played a live game.

By the way, has what changes have been made since January/February?

At a glance I see +1's and the ability to mute things/people, but don't know exactly what either of those functions do.

Well, that was close . . .

I don't have enough time to start another game now, but I may try again in the next few days.

seems legit, but why a PPS game?
JECE (1248 D)
19 Nov 11 UTC
PPSC, you mean? I just think it's more fair, especially in a no press game. Italy and A-H throw away their points in no press games. And though I haven't played a live game on-line before, I'm pretty sure that too many countries fall into civil disorder. Even just players failing to submit orders one phase is more likely, especially the first phase which seems sometimes can be missed (although I guess less so now if we have specified start times), and that makes games too lopsided for me to justify a WTA game.

I don't mind playing WTA games usually, but I don't think this is the right place.
JECE (1248 D)

It's made. Same specifications as above, except now with 5-mintue phases: gameID=72674.
JECE (1248 D)
19 Nov 11 UTC
Darn, this is going to fail again. I hate how when you change the pre-game period before the phase length the former automatically changes.

In anthicipation of the other game failing, join gameID=72675.

mr.crispy sent me this PM:
"could you not tell i was trying to be your ally from the very start? I support help etc etc....and then you attack belgium and then make up by support holding me, nah bra, it doesnt work that way....if turkey hadnt had made that move...damn...i woulda done it."

My reply: I 'attacked' Belgium as the only guaranteed way of stopping you from entering Burgundy. If I really wanted to take Belgium, I would have taken it in Spring 1903 when there was nothing stopping me. And no, I didn't see you give me any support until Spring 1903. You then promptly attacked me 1 year later without any provocation. What are you talking about?
JECE (1248 D)
20 Nov 11 UTC
England101: I was surprised that you attacked me in Spring 1906, but I guess you had no choice if Turkey was going to take Norway no matter what.
JECE (1248 D)
20 Nov 11 UTC
To the old Italy, whomever you were, Mun-Tyr in Spring 1907 was a friendly move, in case you were wondering. I didn't if you were going to fill in the hole. If the move would have succeeded, I would have moved on Pie.
mr.crispy (0 DX)
20 Nov 11 UTC
I wasn't trying to snag anything except holding the line in burgundy, if I did anything other than hold that line it left room for you to attack me. I did want to show support since england was gone we could both grow strong. but hey it just happens sometimes right?
JECE (1248 D)
21 Nov 11 UTC
Yeah, it was obvious that you would be in a better position in Bur, but I knew that defending Bel, Ruh and Mun with three units wouldn't be easy.

TEST PIE #1...Who is YOUR Recipe Guru???
My daughter (12) and I just put our test Pumpkin Pie in the oven. We are "pie makers" already - it's a family thing (gotta beat Grandma's pie!) Trying a modification to our old recipe based upon hints from America's Test Kitchen. Also a *huge* fan of Alton Brown. Both give scientific reason WHY they do what they do - appeals to the Engineer in me. Who is YOUR favorite recipe source?
