Say I have a unit in Berlin. If Russia moves Silesia into Berlin with support from Prussia and I move Ruhr into Berlin with support from Holland. What happens if Berlin bumps Munich to break a support hold?

Swearing

Can't find anything about it...what is this site's look on swearing in games?

jmo1121109 (3812 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

don't do it, however unless it is done repeatedly it will not get you banned.

StevenC. (1047 )

I swear, nothing happens to those who swear in games unless it's over the top.

Le_Roi (913 )

What exactly is over the top?

StevenC. (1047 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

I'm not really sure. I guess if it greatly interferes with the game. Also, if the person is threatening or sexually harassing others then in my opinion they have to go.

Le_Roi (913 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

Uhhh....threatening via chainsaw diplomacy, or threatening like, I know where you live?

StevenC. (1047 )

Obviously the latter. Duh.

I have a potty mouth but while playing I don't swear much. I choose my words and think about them before hitting the send button. I read it and make sure I convey the message I want to send. I find my messages read better and are more effective without four letter expletives.
Personally I don't care. But I know my 12 yo son plays on this site too.
Diplomacy is a hobby which all types of people are involved. If you wish to invite and accept more new people what do you think will get the most positive response?

Le_Roi (913 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

I suppose you are right in that respect - I do not believe I have sent any posts with expletives in them -, but in some forms of diplomacy (namely chainsaw) they can be quite effective, (in theory). Dropping the F-bomb all the time won't make you more friends, I'm sure of that, but when trying to scare, it can be, if used at opportune times.

tailboarder (100 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

I don't disagree. Lets say (hypothetically) you are trying to pick a fight, I could see where that would work well. Especially the word stupid and something about ones mother were thrown in.
But I am not sure what chainsaw is...

Swearing is a valid strategy and one I employ on occassion. OK, on MOST occassions. Especially when some stupid twit stabs me and destroys the line we were holding against the enemy then uses the logic of "I just wanted to see if I could."

Jamiet99uk (873 )
19 Aug 09 UTC

This has come up repeatedly in the past, and the general consensus has been that swearing and insulting people in games or on the forum is perfectly ok. It's impolite and distasteful on occasions, but not someting that's against the site rules.

GUI improvements

can the My Games section also contain finished games like it used to?
the Search feature is great, but not so great in finding ones own games that were finished.

yes I know you can get there by looking at your own profile, but its just more intuitive via the My Games tab.

Move instead of Support

Say France has fleets in Lon and EngChann, and armies in Pic and Bur. Germany has armies in Bel, Ruhr, and Mun, a fleet in No.Sea. France is trying to capture Bel with Bur-Bel. So basically it's 4 on 3 on France's favor because Mun can't support Bel while Lon (France) can cut off German support from No.Sea. What if instead of supporting, Germany moves No.Sea-Bel, Bel hold, and Ruhr-Bel? That's 3 vs. 3 and no support is cut. Can Germany keep Bel that way?

ItalyGermanyAustria vs BrtainFrance vs RussiaTurkey.

Hey guys, consider joining the new game I created. ItalyGermanyAustria vs BrtainFrance vs RussiaTurkey. Usually alliances don't last, but I made it only 5 pts so that hopefully winning won't matter, but winning while sticking to the alliance will. It may have been tried before, but oh well.
