No, now make sure to get your moves in on time and don't mess the game up for others.

I guess if you find a mod willing to swap you with someone. You would need a substitute though.

What people are trying to say is that it's considered REALLY poor form to start a game and, when things are not going your way, just bail. Imagine some other player in that game has things going his way and the vacuum you leave behind when you surrender changes the whole dynamic and can ruin his plans. Just keep playing if you can, you don't have to devote hours to your strategy, just keep entering orders. Besides, you never know when the situation will turn in your favor. Besides, you have a 100% reliability rating right now, don't ruin your reputation.

His only active game is World. That one can take *forever* to complete. Perhaps the time commitment is more than he bargained for going into the holiday season. If you really want out, you can just go in and ready your hold orders each turn. You could also hasten the end by moving out of all your supply centers and letting the other players cannibalize you and then saving hold orders.

Neither of these are really "good" options because they are ethically questionable--better to plan for the time commitment accurately. But, they do prevent you from getting a ding on your Reliability rating though, even if the game is shot. Better than going to civil disorder.

It is widely considered to be poor sportsmanship and generally rude to quit a game on this site because it ruins the game for the rest of the players on the board. However, if you arrange for a substitute, the mod team would gladly arrange the switch.

diplomacy dislodge question.
Yeah quick question.
Lets say you have countries A and B.
If they each have one piece attempting to move into an empty territory but during that turn, Country A gets dislodged, does the standoff still occur or does B move into its desired territory? Thanks in advance.

What's the name of a picture/movie that changes and transitions smoothly in a loop?
So what I mean is that you don't really notice it's a loop unless you're paying close attention because the end of the loop fits perfectly on the start of the loop. There's no strong feeling of repetition. Just a 'background' continuously moving.
Just looking for the word for such a thing. I saw one quite a while ago and thought I could use one of those in a design, but now I finally have the time to do something with it, I forgot what it's called :-(

After hearing about that Congo shit I was wondering what other scandals/notorious players/legendary stories there are buried in the annals of this site. I assume some of the elder players would know some of the lore I speak of and can weave some tales of old?

Is it normal for people to sign up for very slow games (10 days/phase) and stay quiet?
I am relatively new to webDip. From the little experience I have here, I get the impression that it is not uncommon for very slow games to be pretty quiet. I've had no replies at all from some parties, even though they are giving orders. Is this usual? I thought very slow games would have lots and lots of diplomatic talk.

Control active game play time option ?
Hello,

What if it was possible to control the time allowed for game play, such as, "game only active between the hours of X & Y". Then shorter phase games could be played more easily and not at strange hours of the night. Thoughts?

NFL Pick 'em Week 12: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...eh, Buffalo? ;)
So, with Buffalo's game postponed until Monday (and moved to Detroit as, um, Buffalo's sort of buried under snow) and the Raiders having won their first game of the season--and in more than a year!--vs. the rival Chiefs, we enter Week 12. The Lions and Patriots meet in a big clash. Rams//Chargers is an intriguing match-up. Cardinals/Seahawks up in Seattle, and Ravens/Saints on a suddenly-crucial Monday Nighter. Week 12... pick 'em!
