"(jmo1121109): I have drawn this game, waiting for someone to go CD when a stalemate is established is not acceptable."

Discuss.

I guess jmo was pretty certain no one would turn. How did he spot it?
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
27 Feb 14 UTC
I don't like it. While I have e-mailed mods about stalemates, drawing right after someone broke through seems wrong.
ccga4 (1831 D(B))

Well they broke through only because Turkey had to go CD.

I for one fully support jmo's decision. The only way France would've soloed is if one of the nations went into CD.

CD was a technology to hold music before the iPod came out. They are shiny, silver and round with a hole in the middle, kind of like a very very thin donut. But you wouldn't want to eat one.
And who says they broke through the stalemate line? How come? By taking West Med? What next they can do from there? Take Gulf and that's it.

nfowler562:
CD (per webDiplomacy parlance) = 2 consecutive phases missed (refers to website code that goes into effect)
civil disorder (per the Diplomacy rulebook) = 1 phase missed (refers to the game rules that go into effect)

I'm glad to see how much better off I was deciphering the lingo of the site on my own rather than asking around. I fear my bank account may be worse for wear if I had :P

As a player in this infuriating game, I of course support the decision, as I would have had it been any other game. Playing the game like that is just low.

Whoops, just saw this, as several people have pointed out already, the draw was only enforced when it was apparent France would take an unearned victory from delaying the game until a CD occurred.

The best part is that France thought he "broke" the stalemate by taking WMed when he was sitting at 15 centers. PLAY TO WIN DAMMIT.

Nice catch jmo. I was watching this game this afternoon when Austria was taken over in the live games thread. The stalemate was apparent even hours before it finished.

A Jewish State? Israel? YES. YES IT IS.
http://news.yahoo.com/israeli-demand-sparks-39-jewish-state-39-debate-192744221.html It's a Jewish State. As surely as Ireland's an Irish state and Iran's an Iranian state, Israel is a JEWISH state...THE Jewish state. Make the Palestinians recognize that, and in turn, make the Israelis stop the terrible, TERRIBLE expansion plan into the West Bank. As surely as there must be a Palestine, Israel MUST be THE Jewish state.

"She has no use, however, for the NRA's conservative political agenda... Its mission, she says, is to provide "a place for gun owners to talk to other owners about neat gun stuff, without having to hear how the president is a Muslim-usurper-socialist running a false-flag operation." Clearly, Ms. Hoeber's been reading our posts...clearly.

Shouldn't draw votes be anonymous?
I don't mind that cancel and pause votes are out in the open, but I'd expect draw votes to be anonymous. That's how it was when I played FtF and on the email judges. Any particular reason why they are not anonymous on this site?

Public Press Gunboat
More akin to real life gunboat where we can chat about anything except the game. Does anyone do this? I prefer gunboat because diplomacy just takes a lot of time that I'd rather spend doing other things in my life. However sometimes it would be nice to have the option of sending a public shout out on some topic.
