Question about the mute function--
If I were to mute somebody in the forum, would they also be muted in a game? To be more specific: if I get no press from a country in an anon game, is it possible that the country is being played by a user that I muted in the forums?

Also, would that apply the other way around (as in a player muted in-game is also muted in the forums)?

Rules Question
Can a fleet in GoB support a fleet into St P (nc)?
I know it could support an Army there, and I know a fleet in MAO could support a move to either coast of Spain (as specifically mentioned in the rules) but I thought that was because MAO could legally move to either coast.

WTA draws
Whenever a WTA game draws, it never says the number of points each player received- just the amount they bet in red, suggesting that all players lost their bet. So, for anyone to get any points in a WTA game does there have to be a solo?

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentations of their women.

Octavious (2701 D)

Nah, Draug, it's all about the solo. Lamentations are superfluous to requirements, even in those rare occasions when your opponents actually have women.
Octavious (2701 D)

@ Vesto

All situations are different. Some players will be genuinely unaware they are causing you concern, some will be aware but are just too lazy to make an effort to try and keep you happy, and some are doing it as the first step on the way to attacking you.

As a good rule of thumb, use the situation to crush them and take the solo.

Encroachment.

If someone is moving into your territory, push him out and take over his home centres. Convince his neighbours that they should attack him as he is easy pickings due to having units away their fronts and in yours.

If someone is moving away from your territory, keep pushing him away and take over his home centres. Convince his neighbours to attack him since he is obviously moving towards them to attack them.

It's often quite difficult to deal with encroachment. A naive fellow will just turn away and move farther toward the edge of the bed to create additional breathing space, but experienced men know that she will inevitably rapidly swallow this extra space up as well, so that she can move closer to her goal, the oft-achieved "diagonal" sleeping pattern, leaving the poor man clinging to the edge of the bed with no separation at all!

A wise man, who has mastered the ways of women, knows that the space between his body and the edge of the bed is sacred, and must be defended at all costs. Only by establishing a rugged guard may he achieve an unyielding defense against the female encroacher. The successful technique is rather counter-intuitive. Rather than turning away from the foe, the man must roll TOWARDs her, and make himself as bony as possible. Elbows and knees must become as little knives that are directed squarely at the encroaching female's sensitive kidneys, ribs, and neck areas. Give no quarter! As the female attempts her inevitable attempt to capture more space, she will have no ability to penetrate this well-constructed wall of bone. Her attempts to encroach will be frustrated as they only cause her sensitive areas discomfort, and with no space gained as a reward! At last, exhausted, she must collapse in defeat, and be forced to sleep on her own fucking side of the bed.
Maniac (189 D(B))

It depends who is doing the encrouching. If it's russia it's important to talk tough, use all available means, short of actually doing anything, and draw red lines in the sand, which he will probably ignore. But don't dispare because you can always draw new ones, which will also be ignored. Finally pretend encrouchment was what happened fifty years ago and the new encrouchment just rectified the previous injustice.

We'll make a proper diplomate of you soon enough.
Draugnar (0 DX)

@YJ - The best defense to that type of encroachment is to try to score a home run and touchdown all in one. You'll either succeed in driving her back to her side of the bed, or you'll get laid. Win-win scenario.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
05 May 14 UTC
Nonsense. Lovey time is lovey time, while sleepy time is sleepy time. Woe to the female who thinks there is any overlap between the two. All of that "snuggling" bullshit is just an excuse to ramp up the temperature to unsustainable levels so that I back off the center line, allowing her to move closer, and repeat the cycle.
Draugnar (0 DX)
05 May 14 UTC
Go on the offensive and grab for body parts before she makes a move to encroach on the center of the bed.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

You are just a lecherous old man. You don't understand that at 2:00 a.m. I'm far more interested in sleep than any amount of nubile flesh... don't worry though, she usually doesn't seem to understand that either.
