True or false? I'd like a few unbiased (as in not biased by me) opinions before I give mine.

German Opening Strategies: Update for Online Play

PREFACE: I am really a rather rotten player. I write this not because I enjoy any good measure of skill at the game of Diplomacy, but rather because I enjoy writing.

Drinking Age
What is the drinking age in your society?
This is the most illogical part of America. An 18-year old has the competence to vote for President but not to drink a beer.

quick question
Hi, I used to play many many years ago and now I am back to webdiplomacy. Just a quick question, how many phases do you need to miss for the game to kick you out?

Apologies if this question had been asked before but I couldnt find it in FAQs.

Dear Krellin, who do you hate?
I'd like to start a game with some cool lefties/decent people, and figured the quickest way to work out who to invite was to ask you who you hated most. At the moment I'm thinking a game with Tolstoy, Major Mitchell, Thucy, Cachimbo, Hecks and Bo-sox would be fun. Did I miss anyone?

Ask about rule of Dilomacy Game
I'm playing A Dilomacy Game in a Forum. Russia Order: Vienna move to Tyrolia. Italian Order: Tyrolia move Trieste, Venezia Hold. Austria Order: Triest support move to Venezia from Apulia. Ottoman Order: Apullia move to Venezia

Sephiroth (100 D)
08 Aug 13 UTC
After order, the GM say: Italian Army in Tyrolia attack Triest and cut off support from Triest, but not seize Triest and the return Tyrolia and draw with Russian Army from Vienna attack Tyrolia.
Sephiroth (100 D)
08 Aug 13 UTC
Triest can't support Venezia and Battle in Venezia is draw.
Is this right? I confuse because The Italian Army in Tyrolia can't Attack Trieste and not win, return to hold Tyrolia before attack from Vienna of Russian Army?
You can see map:

Support is cut even.if the unit is;'t dislodged except under some very specific orders involving either a unit trying to cut support against itself or supporting a move against a convoying fleet directed at itself.

I Tyo-Tri
I Ven H
A Tri SM Apu-Ven
T Apu-Ven

Tyo-Tri cuts Tri support.
Apu-Ven bounces.
Vie-Tyo bounces.

He adjudicated it perfectly if that is what he had happening.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

Yes, the support is cut and everything stays where it started. You're thinking about it in slightly the wrong way - the army doesn't so much go to Trieste, fight a battle there, and then come back to Tyrolia. It's more like it attempts to move to Trieste, but gets stopped at the border, and therefore never actually stops occupying Tyrolia.
JECE (1248 D)
08 Aug 13 UTC
. . . yet the the march to the border forces the Austro-Hungarian forces in Trieste to defend against Tyrolia, so the Austro-Hungarian forces can't also help Turkey out with Ven.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
08 Aug 13 UTC
yes, this is an example of a unit affecting two provinces at the same time.

In this case cancelling vienna's attempted move to tyrolia, AND trieste's support order.

Note the first exception to the rule on cutting support is that a unit can't support aimed at it. So if Trieste's order had been 'support Vienna move to Tyrolia' then the Russian attack would have worked.
JECE (1248 D)
08 Aug 13 UTC
Sephiroth: It can be called called a 'tap' and/or a 'bounce'. Italy purposely 'tapped' Tri to make sure F Tri couldn't order a support. Of course, A Tyr 'bounced' back as well and as a result 'bounced' Russia out of Tyr too.

I'm not sure any of this makes sense. You can read a copy of the rulebook here to get all the details and explanations:
http://www.stabbeurfou.org/Regles.php
(This is the best copy I've found, but I haven't been able to download the PDF recently)

If you are ever confused, this is a perfect tool with which too test out different scenarios without having to download anything:
http://gamesbyemail.com/Games/Politics/Judge
To clear the map and build your own scenario, click the "Clear board" hyperlink under "Other:" and then drag and drop the units from the white box. To come back to a scenario you've created, copy the Permalink the the right of the board.

orathaic and Sephiroth: Regarding orathaic's example, note that the Austro-Hungarian fleet would actually have to be an army. A fleet can't order any support into a territory it can't move to..
Sephiroth (100 D)

Thanks all. I understood.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

@JECE, thanks, i stand corrected (that's what i get for not looking at the map)

The Libertarian Rift
It is often claimed that divisions in the GOP run clearly along statist/libertarian lines, but this is frequently unclear in practice, as there are a good many other divisions and alignments as well (as in the Democratic Party). Here is a particularly clean example of the former, however.

Hi all. I am looking for someone who would be willing to replace one of the seven members in our Summer League. She abruptly decided to give up Diplomacy and her departure has halted our league play.

If you are interested in replacing someone who is in a great position in the League message me and I can send you more information. Thanks.

Hey Krellin
Could you warn me whenever you read a good argument against you in one of the many threads? I was thinking we might have to recruit some secretaries who can filter out arguments like Kafkatraps, complete fiction, partial fiction, anything including the word nigger, so we can focus on the arguments that can be considered worthy of your time. Post interest in becoming secretary in this thread and I'll get you a form.

How DARE Soldiers Fighting Religious Fanatics Not Be Religious?!
http://news.yahoo.com/u-military-problem-atheists-065000534.html
I find that ironic in the US Military's case (for the above-stated reason)...but it's an issue that crops up every now and again, people thinking that a lack of religious belief MUST mean you're "at risk," or "depressed" or a danger to yourself or others...how about we're not convinced by the "evidence" for God and think that Religion kills (and encourages killing at that) and leave us be?

* Are you afraid of clowns? Grown men in makeup doing socially unacceptable things, often to children? (Like touching, squirting them with water, etc. while hiding behind a mask?) Or are they innocuous fun?

295 versus Turnpike
I'll be headed to New Jersey in a few weeks and was hoping to get some insight on this. Is there any benefit to taking I-295 to the I-195 junction instead of paying the tolls on the NJ Turnpike (northbound from Delaware)?
