Hurricane Sandy
I know a lot of people (myself included) are about to lose power for at least a few days, maybe longer. Is it possible that the mods could pause all games for those who will be afflicted, or maybe pause all games and make the users unpause them? Estimates are that at least 30 million people will be without power, probably more, in the northeast US.

US vs. UK: Parliamentary or Constitutional Govt.?
I've had a fun time debating it well enough with some political science major friends, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see what comes up--a Parliamentary system like the UK's, or a Constitutional system like the US's, which do you prefer, and why...moreover, assuming everyone here is in one or the other (and not, say, living under a dictatorship) if you could change your country's system to be more like the other's...would you?

Ann Coulter and the R-Word--What a Vapid, Self-Centered, Despicable, Stupid B----!
I'm sorry, you can criticize Obama all you like...but you DO NOT DARE insult the mentally handicapped and then whine that the "PC Police" are after you...no, I'm sorry, but someone were to call me a kike, and I was offended, that's not me being overly politically-correct it's YOUR being incendiary, insipid, vile, cruel, and altogether an example of the sort of person we do NOT need on the air waves or in this country WHATSOEVER.

I do it to keep a fleet out of North Africa sometimes. I've also done it in coordination with France to get rid of the army on occasion.

If Italy is determined to fight off France (if there's a WT for example), A North Africa supported by Tunis is pretty tough to dislodge, and that makes Tunis secure. But an enemy fleet in GoL means that army is unable to defend the peninsula, and a convoy to Tus usually breaks Italy

The only reason I can understand is defensive. Italy's only going to be able to hit France with two fleets and two armies normally, so that necessitates A Pie / F GoL / F WMS. There's nothing for the army to do, so it might as well prevent France outflanking Italy and forcing it on the defensive.
I think you would only do it so France or England would need support to put a fleet there.

the League Game I did it in. If recall the game correctly, I wasn't sure if I should go for Austria, Turkey, or France. So, I did that. Probably wasn't the best move, but it got the job done
The move was immediately undone the next turn; that's hardly exemplary of a legitimate use of the move....

I did it in gameID=102304 after opening Lepanto to a French Marsailles build. I needed to open Tunis to get a fleet there, so I had to move Tunis to NAf. Lol at Austria attacking everyone.
I've done it to keep an enemy fleet out of there, making it harder for France (or England) to force their way into the Med.

I could easily see moving your army to north Africa to keep a fleet out of there when sitting up a stalemate. I could also see moving there with the intention of being convoyed anywhere on the western side of the map.

PE, the question was: why would anything EVER move A Tun-NAF. My move it is completely legitimate for the points of this thread

Fortress Door (1837 D)
28 Oct 12 UTC
*anyone
The question is quite clearly asking for good reasons to move army Tunisia -> North Africa. The move on its face seems rather useless, so discussing useless reasons, like your game, is a waste of time.
Fortress Door (1837 D)

Ah, ok. Then I take back what I said.
Zmaj (215 D(B))

No good reason for that move. Unrelated to it but in the same zone, there is one of the most orgasmic moves known to humanity: convoying an army from Spain to Tuscany.
gameID=97813 This is probably another useless reason, but WRB (Austria) did it in this game so we could later convoy it to Norway in S07. It was a pretty unnecessary convoy, since there were several easier convoys available.

Game Cancelled - Dark Summer
Hey all,

So I log in today, and have received a message that a game I was in called dark summer has suddenly been cancelled. I have no idea why? It was a World game that had been ongoing for quite a while. Is anyone able to point me to a reason why this game was cancelled? Or who I can contact to find out? I'm very confused and disappointed as this was an interesting game! Thanks.
