I would be the first to do so. =P

Also the fact that France only counters an Italian move 1 time in the game. And then doesn't try to stop the 18th center from being captured (Marseilles).

Side Note: President Eden was in the game..

It was painful. Turkey and Germany made it impossible to do anything. ._.

Other side note: hpromer has played a game with Norman Oak. WITCH! WITCH! BURN IT, BURN IT!

^lol

Hpromer is my sister... We were sitting like 10 feet away from each other GASP! Haha. Sorry

She was telling me how to play as we went along

...

So you just admitted to communicating in a gunboat game with another player and getting help from another player during the game...

You realize this is an offense for which you can be banned, right?

wow! poor guy's first game...

how did his sister not know this is an illegal thing and considered cheating.

Mods is there a way to strip them of their winnings or to cancel those games that were unfair to the other players without banning them. I think they should certainly be reprimanded and talked to so they realize what they did was WAAAAAAY illegal, but maybe they should not be banned if it really was there first set of games on the site.

full disclosure, I did not take the time to look at the games or their game histories.

Yeah I had never played before. I didnt know!

To be honest I did not know that gunboat meant that till like I had played like 30 games

Well to be honest. I'm still not entirely positive on the meaning of gunboat... Can somebody explain

Gunboat means: no press. Nowadays you can start a game and entirely forbid press for any of the players. It means any communication is through movements and support orders. It's a variant that puts the emphasis on tactics rather than diploming.

Actually what I find impressive in that game is the English survive. When it's easy there's nothing to it, but fighting for the last scraps and succeeding, that's diplomacy.

This issue has been resolved by the moderators.

Ah! A point reset, I see...

Okay. I understand now... But how was I souposed to know it was gunboat. It never said in the title?

And I promise I will be fair from now on... I did not know but I do understand that ignorance is no excuse

it clearly said "no messaging" in the game options. What do you think "no messaging" means?

Well it was my first game and I didn't know how to put in my moves didn't know how to use supports and I didn't know any of the normal tactics. I was just trying to get a feel for the game but I ended up cheating. It was all unintentional.... And I backstabbed her without telling her..... I can't even explain how pissed she was

If it was your first game, then why do you have 55 games played? That wasn't actually your first game was it?

Yes it was. If you look at my profile that one was my first... I have played 54 games since

If you look at he game it was on February 11th..... The same day I signed up on diplomacy
