Is there a bug for certain convoys?
It was not even me making the move but I did witness a unit get convoyed with a support and all the game said was (fail). The opposing unit moved into the territory where the support was coming from. That is supposed to allow the unit getting convoyed to win is it not?

Joining Games with CDs
I've noticed that while the "Joinable" button says that there are ~45 games to join, the server only shows me 1 or 2 of those games. Have you also experienced this problem?

Also, share your favorite joining a CD stories if you have them, if that's even a thing :)

I got a call and I can't figure out if it was a fraud?
I would like to hear your thoughts inside..
steephie22 (182 D(S))
02 Aug 16 UTC
I just woke up. He claimed to be from WSJ in London, phone number is indeed from London. Was for an enquete and I didn't know what to think so I decided to let him ask the questions and I'll see if I answer.
He already knew my last name and first letter, from company registration presumably. I told him my age, that I have no mortgage, that I don't own the house in which I live, that the influence of the interest rate on my savings was slightly negative and one more question, I forgot what it was but something that seemed just as useless for a fraud to know. Maybe do you work at home?

I also spelled my full first name and gave them my spam e-mail address.
I'm puzzled. Nothing seemed wrong to answer, otherwise I would've hung up but he sounded quite oriental.
Thoughts on whether that's legitimate and whether they can use any of this against me?

None of it was secret..

It's a survey.

Yeah. You owe nothing to cold callers, Steephie. Even if it's not a scam, it's a waste of your time.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
02 Aug 16 UTC
What's frog protection? Sounds like a joke?

I know I didn't owe him anything, but I was curious and tired..
But no one can think of a way that information could be used for a scam? It's just a waste of time or gonna cause some spam at worst?
orathaic (1009 D(B))
02 Aug 16 UTC
'Curious and tired' - thats when they get you!

Waste of your time may be a worthwhile data collection for some.
Even if its not a scam, they may be doing vital market research...

I also get such calls some times from abroad maybe because I have my own company. When I figure out that it is any kind of sales call I answer "No thanks. Not interested" and hang up without waiting for any reply.

abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Basically they are just probing to get small amounts of info so the next time they call they sound even more legit. They are also seeing how receptive you are to answering questions.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
02 Aug 16 UTC
Okay that's what I was thinking. Then I'm not worried. Even tired, if it sounded remotely like something that might actually harm me, I would hang up instantly.

Thanks for reassuring me!

Here's what I do when I get what is obviously an unsolicited marketing phonecall:

I ask them to repeat the name of the person they want to speak to (usually they say my name). Then I say: "Oh yes, no problem, I'll just go and get him, he's in another room, please wait a moment."

Then I put down the phone handset (without disconnecting the call) and return to what I was doing then the phone rang.

The record for someone waiting on hold for me to return is just over 7 minutes.

Except mostly fro scammers, used to getting 'i'm calling from microsoft, your windows computer is sending out messages that it has a virus'

Now i run ubunutu on all the machines in my house, so sometimes i humour them and imagine i hve a windows machine, then follow all their instructions on the imaginary machine... Once i even went so far as to imagine a hard disk failure on reboot which i blamed on them 'it was fine until i did the thing you told me to!' - but usually it is a lot of waiting atound as my computer slowly 'boots up'...
peterlund (1310 D(G))

Orathaic and jamiet. Yes I have considered both of your approaches just for the fun of it, but the calls mostly come during office hours and I cannot do it for fun then. :/
peterlund (1310 D(G))

But I think I will try the jamiet approach. It had this new twist, asking who they are looking for, and have them waiting. It's great since the most expensive thing usually is their time :)
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Hehe I like that.

I should figure out how to record a phone call and make it hilarious and share with people.

"Oh no!! Is it my gaming computer or the one which I use for online banking and storing passwords?

Hold on, I need to get the key out of the safe.. can you please wait 5 minutes? Don't hang up please, I need to find the key to the safe first.."

I always like hearing about the people that drag out calls from the Nigerian oil companies. Some of them pretend to be so incompetent that the callers give up in frustration.

Keep those possibilities open briefly for any unknown caller, eg genuine wrong numbers...I had so much fun with a drunk who mis dialled my number when he wanted a local pizza shop...he wanted a large pizza with the lot but without anchovies..........so that's a large pizza with the lot with extra anchovies sir ? Oh, no, it's not a large pizza with the lot, is sir thinking of a large "Hawaiian" pizza ? Etc etc

Question about available retreating options
The game is at http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=181409.

Turkey has dislodged Russia's F Rum. In that same turn, F Rum-Bla bounced off F Ank-Bla. Why does Russia have the options to submit a retreat order?
