Privacy at the US border.
Another reason not to enter the US.

Actually or to live within 100 miles of the coast or a border since their jurisdiction extends that far. However, you don't have to give them your passwords without a warrant. Good luck with that though

Jurisdiction from the coast only goes 12 (nautical) miles. Beyond that is International waters.

But i'm not sure what your point was... Not being a US national, i am unlikely to spend money on a flight to the US.
Ogion (3817 D)

No, from the coast inland. Homeland Security's authority to search people "at the border" extends 100 miles from potential entry points, such as a border or a coast.

(And after 12 miles, it's still an Exclusive Economic Zone out to 200)
orathaic (1009 D(B))
21 Feb 17 UTC
Yes, exclusive economic zone is not the same thing as internaional waters.

And despite treaty of tradition, the US will do whatever the fuck it likes...

But i don't get what your point is.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

Oh wait, yes i see now.

Still confused...
Yeah...would recommend staying away for some time. I'm a US citizen and planning to head overseas indefinitely in the near future.

Does anyone here have thoughts on the German election? Will we see a swing to the hard right there as well? My impression is no, but then again no one thought T had a chance in hell either.
Ogion (3817 D)
21 Feb 17 UTC
No, we won't. Merkel is still quite popular and I think Trump is doing real damage to the right in Europe. With scandal swirling around Fillon and Le Pen, we may actually see a leftist get the presidency in France. In Germany I think the CDU SPD coalition will continue in power

You have less legal rights at the border even for US citizens.
@Ogion awesome, thanks. Very glad to hear. Hopefully my part of the world comes to its senses soon...but then again, the US is a strange place.

What makes you so smart?
Either y'all are looking shit up before you post or some of you have way too much walking-around knowledge. It's pretty impressive. So really, what makes you smarter than the 99%? (I want to hear about schools, majors, studies, publication.) This question is directed only to people who've written something intelligent. (Sorry, Capt-Brad)

Coast To Coast: The Various Coasts Of The Board.
There are only three territories on the entire board that have more than one coast—Spain, St. Petersburg, and Bulgaria. For each territory, which coast is the most commonly occupied by a fleet? And for coasts that are unpopular, in what situations might they be occupied?

Italy: What Are The Benefits?
In response to a thread I posted earlier, titled, "Italy Opening Strategy: Early Attack on France?," I decided to post another thread regarding Italy. Italy is the slowest nation to develop, and also the hardest to win with. Are there any benefits to playing Italy? What advantages does Italy have over other players?

Anybody play live games anymore?
When I started on this site years ago, everybody and their mama was playing, a lot of live games happening. I took a few years off and now that I'm back there seems to be a huge drop off in total games being played, and there are NO live games at all. I havent seen one I havent created. None of mine ever get full, or even a few people. What the heck happened?

Alternative French Openings
I'm not a huge fan of playing as France. To be honest, it bores me compared to Germany or Austria. We just had a solid thread on Italian strategy, specifically unexpected opening strategies. What opening(s) have you tried that varied from the norm, and what was the result?

Incorporating WWI Strategies Into Diplomacy: Could It Work?
Diplomacy is set in WWI. Even though it is up to players to play how they like, might it be sensible and feasible to incorporate real-world strategies and plans from WWI into the game? For example, could Germany try the Schlieffen Plan against France? Should Italy go straight for Trieste, as it did in WWI? And should Russia seek to defend Serbia against Austria-Hungary? Thoughts?
