Delay of game
Dear admins,

We've been waiting in a web dip game for about two weeks now. Can you please force an un-pause from Europe and Argentina? Thanks!

Original 1958 Diplomacy is a trip.
Have any of you played on that map? It looks CRAZY. You can only build in one or two places. It allows for more than one unit to occupy the same space, and there are all those crazy extra provinces! WOW.

Anyone have a link to this (I know I'm lazy).

Yeah, there are so many water ways and while the convoy rules are more realistic I'm not sure the game would be as enjoyable.

In 1915 Finland was not independent, but was a Grand Principality (Grand Duchy) of Russia, and in the North reached an inlet (river or fjord) that was very close to the sea. However, it ran through Norwegian territory.

Wait, so Tunis wasn't a supply center originally? :O
Yeah, Italy was really really bad.

I'm glad they stuck around to adjust the game into its modern form. This could have been so easily lost into obscurity!

Speaking of all this. Has anybody ever considered making an adjusted map for WWII Europe? I'd prefer if it excluded air forces. With the dissolution of Austria-Hungary (and the cession of Trieste to Italy), German annexation of Austria, and the creation of Poland, the map's balance would be thrown in an interesting way.

The original map does clarify one thing nicely: Why Constantinople, Kiel, and Denmark are all discussed as "canal spaces" but Sweden is not (even though Sweden behaves exactly as the others do).

@cteno4: I'd totally be interested in checking out a WWII map. I wonder if one is already created?
I know vdip has a lot of maps, so if you talk over there, you could make it a reality.

Quick google brings up this:
http://axisandallies.wikia.com/wiki/AA50-41

It'd be tough. You have US/Japan... and England and italy battling in africa... that really complicates the map. I think you need to take the world out to simplify it, but if you did that, does the map change that much?

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=72 Hi ;)

Although it's actually awaiting games to be finished so a new rebalanced version ( http://i.imgur.com/5B5qK.png ) can be implemented.

on those maps, can russia build fleet stalingrad?

Yes. Caucasus counts as a giant canal (Yes, not truly accurate, but it adds some interest, although I decided the splitting of the caspian sea was pointless.)

If it was build anywhere, it would serve a purpose. I like that you took it out.

Destroyed units of CD nations
I'm sure this has been answered before, but I'm not quite sure where. If a country is in CD, what is the order of the his units that are destroyed? I believe I saw somewhere it was the farthest away in a non-SC position first, is that correct?

Favorite (Short) Poems? (And Perhaps We Can Put A Few Of Our Own?)
I think we did this a while back, where we posted different things we'd written...and I've definitely had a "Top ___ Works Ever" thread (or two or four or four thousand) before...
So here they are combined--favorite short poems (ie, no Iliad/Paradise Lost/The Waste Land, good as they are, they're longer poems and in another category) and, for the brave...perhaps we can get a Poetry Corner going? :)

So, that thread on Ubuntu made me want to try again on my laptop. I installed 11.10 and I have the same problem as before. On windows, my computer idles at 33-49degC. In Ubuntu, it idles around 82degC. What's with the 40degC increase? Thoughts?

Who would win in a gunboat between seven of yourself?
A fun little exercise that has been helping my play style recently was to learn what bias I have in game. So pull out your dip board and make what you think is the best gunboat opening for each power, then play each power to the best of your ability to win. Who wins? Who gets eliminated first?
