could you support hold ...
Could you support the hold of a unit supporting hold of unit in question?

for instance army in FIN support hold of army in SWE
and army in SWE support hold of army in FIN
the site lets you chose this but will the move be nullified

Yes. A could support B to hold while B supports C to hold.

But, that will not protect B's support of C from being cut. It will only protect B from being dislodged.

Oh, yes that way two. Two units can support each other to hold. Happens all the time.

Err, that way too, not two.

As long as the army being supported isn't moving, it can be support hold-ed... so you can support hold a unit that is supporting a hold, supporting a move, convoying, or just holding.

Hold up-- that doesn't always work. When you introduce coasts, things get screwed up.

Remember that a unit can support the hold of another if it COULD move to that unit's territory. (Obviously no actual movement is going on)

It's best to demonstrate with an example... Army Norway can support the hold of Fleet St. Petersburg (north coast), and the fleet can also support the army since you can move from StP/nc to Nor. But what if the fleet were on StP/sc? Well, the army in Norway can move to StP, so it can support the fleet even though it might seem to be on the "wrong" coast. However, since you can't move from StP/sc to Norway, the fleet CANNOT support the army in this case.

The same holds for a fleet on Norway, incidentally-- a fleet in Norway could support a fleet on StP/sc even though the coast it can move to is StP/nc.

You can find similar examples with Gascony supporting F Spain (south coast) or Marseilles/Gulf of Lyons supporting F Spain (north coast). In either case, the Spain fleet can't move to the other unit's place, and so the support is one way. And by this point you should figure out how it will apply to Bulgaria.

So to answer the original question-- most of the time you CAN support symmetrically, but when separate-coast territories are involved things get hairy.

So would it be possible to generate an three-point support - e.g.:
A Ber S A Muc holding
A Muc S F Kie holding
F Kie S A Ber holding

Blog discourse
I'm trying to formulate a community blog revolving around very effective discourse. I'm asking for any ideas to incorporate to help with our success.

Main idea I'm playing with is a voting system to direct the conversations in a natural flow that the majority wants it to take.

Un to the pause please
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11336

This game was paused due to a player who had already been defeated being banned. Since then, Kolobok has refused to unpause, despite having logged in a number of times, speculatively, because he is angry I stabbed him. Please unpause.

CD question.
I'm in a game where two of as are about the break the current leader. The game naturally would go to a battle between the two of us allies for the win. The current leader is now going to leave for an extended holiday after the current build phase, and voted for a draw. When will he FIRST be in CD if he does?
