PROP 8 OVERTURNED! CAL COURT STRIKES IT DOWN IN 2-1 DECISION!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/07/prop-8-california-gay-marriage-ban-struck-down?newsfeed=true
A great victory for the movement...one of the most high-profile setbacks and cases of trying to discriminate against the LGBT community via the ballot box, and it's finally been defeated--thoughts? Could the gay marriage become legal nation-wide within, say, 20 years? Longer? Shorter?

A Love of Submission and Slavery--Personality and Party Cults in Religion and Politics
The very term "Islam" itself refers to personal and religious submission...
The First Commandment and The Bible preach submission to God/Jesus...
The USSR, Nazis, DPRK, Cuba, and Iran all have/had personality cults...
ARE Parties and Religions, in the end, doomed to enslavement and submission of this nature?

Bounce question
Quick question for any of you in the know out there.
If you have a string of orders that all bounce eachother and one of the string is supported will it bounce as well?
For example A Ber-Pru, A Kiel-Ber, A Mun-Kiel, A Ruhr sup A Mun-Kiel.
Will all orders bounce if another unit enters Prussia on same move

Proposal: As close to FtF as possible.
Does anyone have any interest in playing a game with some FtF rules? Not a live game, but specifically a game where press is not allowed during retreats or build phases, and those phases are possibly shorter. 48 hour Spring and Autumn, 24 hour retreat/builds? Assuming its kosher as a mod, I would change the game to gunboat and the phase length to mimic FtF. The only thing I would request is no finalising and a starting at a time I know I can be online for each shift.

I wonder...cheating?
In a game (Who me? Stab you!) that has no messages of any kind and two players from the start seem to be working together. The variant is Ancient Med and the countries involved are Egypt and Carthage. They moved only one unit towards each other and then supported each other from then on. Maybe its me but I find that kind of movement very suspicious. What do you think?

I've been studying the 7 countries and the centers they control when they arrive at the magic 18 and I've noticed a trend among the nations. Sometimes there are solos that break that trend. If you have soloed a game where your win came with you controlling a cropping of bizarre centers, I'd be interested in seeing them. Post your entries this weekend and on Monday, I'll vote a winner based on how much it deviates from the norm.

Convoy bounce question
Now the wheels are turnin'!
Ok if I am convoying an army and have 1 other fleet supporting the convoying fleet's position, and an opposing player attacks the convoying fleet with 1 unit in support, making it 2 on 2, will the convoyed Army still make it to it's destination?

So...What Do You All Want To Do Once You're Dead?
A composer, Andre Tchaikowsky, said in his will he wanted to donate his skull to the RSC for performances...and he finally got his wish--David Tennant's "Hamlet" features Tennant using a REAL SKULL for Yorick...Tchaikowsky's! And I read that, I know what *I* want now...donate the rest to science, maybe save the brain if I'm rich enough, but I'd LOVE if my skull was on stage after I died! So--launched into space, scattered ashes in your favorite area...what?

Newbie question: What's does gunboat mean?
Sorry about the newbie questions. What's does gunboat mean? And what are stalemate lines? Thanks in advance.

Gunboat - No messaging and anonymous players. Basically a free-for-all
Stalemate lines - A line on the board where neither country can advance and thus the line is stable. Here is a decent example from one of my games: http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=5689

@Praed - Just to provide a bit more detail: A stalemate line is a line of provinces where if the defender can simply write one specific set of orders every turn, and it is impossible for an attacker to ever break the position. These exist because in a lot of positions, the adjacencies are such that it is impossible to bring enough units to bear on the province you're trying to take - regardless of how many units the attacker actually owns. (i.e. there are more adjacent provinces on the defenders side of something than on the attackers side - meaning the defender can always have more supports than the attacker.)

mambo is 99% correct. There are some stalemate lines where the player on one side can theoretically advance, but to do so would be to sacrifice the guaranteed defense of the line. So it doesn't really matter that they could advance, because all they are doing is defending the line.

Most stalemate lines run from Switzerland to some edge of the board, although there are a couple exceptions. The main ones run from Switzerland to the northeast corner of the board and from Switzerland to the southwest corner of the board. There are a bunch of versions of each of these, but they all serve the same function.
