We've got a pretty godawful community here, so I thought it'd be fun to let everyone point fingers. I vote for NS and myself.

Situation on the board
Couldn't find an answer anywhere...
How do I plot the situation? Is it done automatically or do I need a mapper app or something like that?

Russia
Is Russia that bad of a country?
So they're in Syria. So they took Crimea. So they attacked Georgia.
Is that bad enough to start a new cold war over?

Trump settles rather than become the first president to go to trial. His Fraud U finally after years of delay tactics agrees to pay in New York.

@Ghug: Julius Caesar was probably the greatest military strategist of the ancient world. When it comes to army management, military victories, and logistics I don't really know of anyone better with the exception of Alexander the Great.

Yeah Hannibal was brilliant as well. He just couldn't capitalize on his victory at Cannae.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Hannibal was cursed by the bad luck of being on the losing side. That he happened to make it close is really fucking impressive.

No argument on Caesar as a brilliant militarist, but the Gallic wars are best described as a genocide, he lied a *ton* when he wrote about them, and he wrecked the republic with his politics. Genghis Khan was an unparalleled general, but that doesn't make him a guy worth remembering positively.
ND (879 D)

Good point ghug. Good point.
JamesYanik (548 D)

@ND

Hannibal's problem was he wanted Rome to beg for mercy, waited too long, and Scipio hit him at home.

Caesar made some major tactical mistakes in both Gaul AND Britain, though in battle he is known for wisdom in tactics.
ghug (5068 D(B))
18 Nov 16 UTC
Oh yeah, Caesar in Britain is just lol.

I also particularly like when he fled across the Rhine from the Germans and burned all the bridges and then had to talk about how he did the bridge burning for brave and noble reasons.

Trumpism is a subset of Barbarism, hence Trump is a barbarian. Indeed, I find Trump to be disgusting and violent, so clearly this fits with the feedback solicited in the original post.

How to stop being garbage?
I've basically noticed that whether or not I get 2v1'd in 1901 or '02 basically comes down to a crapshoot. I find it's very difficult to get conversations and discussion rolling, especially in lower-bet games. Anyone got tips?

Funny business or just my usual paranoia?
I've noticed a trend in gunboat games....when entering orders -- especially during '01 -- a given great power will click SAVE instead of READY. More often than not, an adjacent great power will do the same. Amazingly, these powers don't move on each other. While it may be frowned upon, is this a way of signalling a wish for non-aggression/cooperation? ...and if it's not...why do it?

...and yes the walls talk to me...sometimes in harsh tones.

Communication Block and Mute Player Inquiry.
Hey I am wondering if muting a player in a game can carry over into actual private messages and forum post messages? I received a private message for actual in game conversations where I am not even a player in the game.

Can people be muted/have blocked communications out of actual diplomacy games? Does anyone know if this is possible?

ACA Premium Reimbursement
Today I was refunded a decent amount of last year's insurance premium through my company because our insurer didn't spend enough of their income from premiums on claims. What is going on here that some people are seeing their premiums double while some insurers literally don't have enough claims. Is it just happenstance that this provider only has healthy people? A civil, informed discussion would be appreciated, if at all possible.
