Well, it IS an election year...nevertheless, not exactly a great vote-winner in states he won in 2008, necessarily...so--thoughts (both on Obama's backing it, the issue, and what impact this may have on the 2012 race?)
This is hilarious; the thread titled "What's so great about this move" accidentally triggered my vague memories of this book. Anybody read it? Anybody had a life-changing experience because of it? :-)
As I recently learned from webDiplomacy that being libertarian = I must worship the ground Austrian economists bless with the serene touch of their feet, I hereby dedicate this thread to His Greatness F.A. Hayek. Happy birthday, Freddy!
Words cannot express how lucky British politics is to have the presence of Dr Vince Cable and I know many people on WebDip admire him. To pay our respects to this beloved man, I hereby dedicate this thread to wishing Vince Cable a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Dr Cable!
I am planning to start a series in which the members of this CLUB will be eligible to play. Games will be on Classic Board and Bets will be of maximum 50 .
1. If you attempt to move to a square occupied by your own unit that is supporting another unit do you cut off support? 2. If you support a move to a square occupied by your own unit that you hope will move and an opposition unit attacks the same square without support do you win the square and dislodge your own unit?
I think the answer to both is "no" but I want to be sure.
I've been working with Vaft on a more detailed Openings comparison for each country and I came across what appears to be an anomaly and I'm curious, of all the Turkish openings, which do you favor (S01 moves only) and what do you think about this: Con -> Bul, Smy -> Ank, Ank -> BLA?
As England, sometimes it can be quite mind numbing in a Gunboat to watch a powerful Turkey or Austria have a field day with inept adverseries all around. The reason why its so irritating is because often France, Germany and England waste many good years battling for ground to retake or steal a lone center like Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Brest, Liverpool ect ect.
I am guessing not Germany haha. I apologize for the NMRs I had as Russia. My comp died and I got on my iPod Touch and tried to submit orders, but sadly, trying to do it on the iPod is very slow and every now and then I hit the refresh button :( I feel if it wasn't for that, we would have killed Germany and then we could have had a splendeid game following it.
If there is a lack of movement for a few years, aka a stalemate line is set, you can email the mods and they will can draw it. I'm not inspecting the game though, and will not comment on it.
It's not allowed to talk about ongoing gunboats on the forum. However, if you feel a game should be forced into draw, you can e-mail the mods at [email protected]
FYI, you guys will probably get chastised for talking about an ongoing game but if you bring this sort of BS to the attention of the mods they can force pause and hopefully punish the offending party.
Oh and I played that whole game on my iPod too! :) btw whoever that mod was that was emailing me, can you just on me? It's annoying how slow email is...
Though I believe the messaging is a clear breach of the rules, I think one shouldn't contest the length of a live game. A person can't go in thinking, "oh, this will last 10 min." If you go live, you're in for the long haul. On a regular game, draw. Live is more about stamina. What if the countries in WWI called a "draw" when they reached a stalemate in that very LIVE war? And gunboat takes it's name from gunboat diplomacy, and from that, Germany should have won. Tl;dr Diplomacy and war in general isn't quick.
^ that sounds like the fastest way to take all of the fun out of the game. SO basically, the people who have the least amount of things to do in their real life (like work, family etc.) will win every game because they can marathon a game on the computer for 10 hours. That sounds awful.
I would like to play a game with people I've rarely or never played before. Standard Settings, Low Pot, 24-48hr, Non-anon. I reserve the right not to be friends with you for any reason. So, will you be my friend?
