If I want to convoy my army A with my fleet F, and my enemy has two fleets G and H, with whose he attack my fleet F. Can I convoy my army though, if I have a second fleet J with which I support F to hold.
So my enemy attacks with two fleets but Im able to hold it, can I convoy?

This Forum Used To Be Fun...
I could purposely say something stupid, and everyone would jump on me, and then I could sit back and laugh at their naivety. But nowadays, it's all anti-religion, anti-conservative babble, and there's a general lack for a sense of humor. I feel like that one guy in an airport who actually wants to go to Detroit.

What would happen if...
Somebody places units in spring so that if they do not get dislodged, they will control 18 centres by fall, but they NMR during the spring retreats and fall diplomacy phases, thus falling into Civil Disorder, but they still control 18 centres by the end of the year? Do they win, or do they count as having 'left'?

Don't blame the Free Market for Socialism
A free market is a market where two parties engage in completely voluntary exchanges of goods and/or services.
Any coercion or interference in the transaction by a 3rd party is not a free market transaction. You buying a beer after work is a free market transaction.

Joe Biden's Charitable giving
It's pretty funny to here Joe Biden talk about helping out his fellow Americans and comparing that empty rhetoric with how he has actually helped out his fellow Americans. FYI Joe, if you want to help someone create a job. Something of course you don't know how to do.

EOG Gunboat fever
gameID=86910
Awww... I'm almost disappointed that it ended in a draw, though France would have won, most probably. Still, Russia, Italy, Germany and Turkey were almost dead. One more round and there would have been many more points to go around, too bad. I had incredible fun playing as Austria, which is a first for me.

Can you win without ever telling a lie?
In a F2F game recently a very moral friend of mine found himself at a loss for ideas with Italy. He saw Russia betray Turkey immediately, and Austria joined the fracas. France was a brand new player who barely knew the rules so he opted not to go for them. As a result he tried a Laponto maneuver, only to realize Russia was already annihilating both Austria and Turkey with a strong alliance with Germany, so killing more of turkey or Austria to benefit himself seemed inherently wrong.

Why 80000?
That's just an arbitrary number of points. 100,000 makes more sense, but is it that much more interesting?
I think Barn3tt (when he comes back) and TheCzech will go over 28000 D this year because they play so many more games. That and MM is on his way doooooooowwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn. :)

MadMarx (36299 D(G))
20 Apr 12 UTC
I am mainly joking, of course, but when I joined this site I had to campaign fairly hard to pull a 4,000 point pot game together, and at the time that was the largest the site had seen. We'd get maybe 3 or 4 of those sized pots together per year, now you see twice as many per month with pots twice that size, and people really whip through those gunboat games pretty fast, it is a different time indeed.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))

And don't get me started on that 10,500 point pot WTA solo that was gifted to Babak, poor play takes its toll as well!! :-P

We can start with a 21000 point game and let me win. I promise to be magnanimous in victory.
The Czech (40297 D(S))
21 Apr 12 UTC
Who cares. I started playing to have fun. I win some I lose more, but I have fun. Why must you put a price on things?
So, Czech, what you're saying is you'll give me 21,000 D.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
21 Apr 12 UTC
Oh I don't really care about getting points.. just curious if there was actually a cap and if it gets hit what happens then.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
21 Apr 12 UTC
Why must you not?

Everyone's different, no need for everyone to agree with and/or understand everyone else's opinions, some even think that's a good thing...
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
21 Apr 12 UTC
I disagree with that MM. I think it is important for people to be able to understand other people's opinions, not agree with them but understand them. Now, I don't necessary need you to understand that, but I do need you to agree with me though. Otherwise, we will have anarchy in the street.

You people and your "I don't care about points" make me feel bad about myself. I don't care about points either but I like winning and having fun. Is that such a bad thing?
Celticfox (100 D(B))

Not at all. I just don't personally don't think points are that big of a deal.

Not sure your point MM. I could care, but I don't. And PE, back in the day when we could lend points I did. I didn't get paid back either.I believe by lending it was understood you were gifting them.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
21 Apr 12 UTC
zultar, I think it would be nice for people to always be able to understand all other people's opinions, I'm just saying that will never happen (regardless of how important it is) and sometimes it's easier to merely accept that as a fact rather than argue about something. Case in point, The Czech, I don't agree with or understand his MO and he doesn't agree with or understand my MO, to each his own.
