Missing a turn without NMRing/CDing
In one of the games I'm in, France has not moved at all since the beginning (it's Spring 1902 now), but he hasn't NMRed or CDed, and so we can't cancel. Any idea what's going on?

House game 3/08 near Boston
I'm hosting a house game this coming Sunday (3/08) in Waltham MA, and would love a few more players. I actually already have one full board confirmed plus a couple extras, so I'm looking for 5-6 more people to make it a two-board event.

This is part of my effort to create a strong Boston community of Dippers, so all ages, skill-levels, and amounts FtF experience are welcome. Contact me if you're interested, either here or (preferably) at [email protected].

So "Wargame" is 75% off on Steam and it looks pretty good to me so I think I'll get at least one..
Red Dragon for €10? Franchise Pack for €12,50?
Is it worth playing the earlier games first/after Red Dragon stops being fun?
Is it a good game, anyway?

Diplomacy with WMD's
every country begins with 1 WMD(can only be used after 1902 build phase) every other year would be an automatic WMD for countries larger than 7 centers. (this way no nuclear war in 1901, or 1902). A WMD would annihilate all forces enemy or friendly in a given location and if it is a center render it neutral and impassable for 1 year. what would this add to the game?

I thought it would be interesting to see MAD employed in diplomacy.

Well smack me sideways and call me Shirley. The great JamesYanik. I don't think we've had the pleasure before?

As far as I can tell that thread is for posting games already created. In addition, games without passwords or special reasons/rules. In addition, it's incredibly hard and inconvenient to use for signing up or discussing a game in this manner. Sorry, but I was always against it anyways.

Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
05 Mar 15 UTC

because the game is a welcome to the community as well as the majority of his points I assume that he will be putting in extra effort to this game and I would prefer it if the people who were here could put in at least the normal amount of press if not more, so I may ask you to do defer RAZ
I don't have the points right now or I would jump in
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
05 Mar 15 UTC
sorry hey buddy! Normally I wouldn't hesitate so much to lower the bid, but I asked if you wanted a big or small pot and he said a big pot.

there is definitely something to be said for the thrill of the hunt when 90 percent of your points are in a game. especially if you are relatively new to the site I feel it's best to focus on a single game and put all your effort into it and really get to see what I high quality full effort game looks like.

my first 101 D game when I finally reached that threshold, I got completely destroyed in but it was a great experience nonetheless. Tru ninja stabbed the shit out of me...

Guaranteeing (P or ⌐P) isn't that impressive...
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
05 Mar 15 UTC
But I appreciate you stopping by!

Any other takers want to take me on? I have this feeling that people are scared. Don't worry, I'll play gentle (or something like that...)
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
05 Mar 15 UTC
Actually, guaranteeing P or ~P is impressive in real life since many real life outcomes are not just binary outcomes, particularly when specificity of language is called into question right. For that game above, if a mod cancels it before it starts, then no one can join it, which makes both of my statements false since no one joined and they can't, which is different than won't. So guaranteeing a P or ~P outcome has some rather strict logic requirement.
Ok, I should get back to work...
