Re: Live Speed Press Games

I am considering hosting live, 5 minute phase/2 minute build full press games, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in that? If the games don't take a horrendously long time, I may consider making it a regular thing, every couple of weeks or so. Would anyone be available on Monday Aug....

Re: "Social Square" 49 players Gunboat Series

I assume these games will be ranked for GR purposes? I'm also fine with any bet size

Re: Why Gunboat?

I'm curious, because I've never played a Gunboat game, but it seems like it's just the same as a bot game. I'm sure it's not, but what is the difference, and what is the draw to playing no press? Ive been told I'm gruff and abrasive. Luckily in gunboat no one can tell Wrinkled and hairy, too, or so...

Re: Top 100 Gunboat

I would be willing to manage something bigger if enough people are interested: 49 players, so 7 boards per round 8 rounds each player is guaranteed to meet each opponent exactly once each player is guaranteed to play a different country in the first 7 rounds, while the 8th round will have random co...

Would all the games be simultaneous?
If yes I would need at least 48h deadlines, but I would be up for it.
They are indeed simultaneous. I'd be fine with 48hr turns myself.

Re: Top 100 Gunboat

Hey all, is there any interest in playing a 7 game set of gunboat games where you will be assigned each county? We've done this a couple of times with mod assistance already and they've been great games. Requirements would be to have a good RR and of course a GR in the top 100 for the site in gunbo...

Normalize Killing Turkey Easily in Gunboat

Turkey is way too overpowered in gunboat on this site. Playing elsewhere has taught me that A/I should be able to kill Turkey relatively easily as long as a certain set of orders are in putted by Italy in 1901. A Ven to Tri in the Spring, and then F Ion to Aeg in the Fall. Italy gets a build from Au...

Re: Criticism of the Lepanto

At least in gunboat, I strongly advocate for an early attack on France. Imo it’s by far the best option there is- the centers in Iberia + Marseilles are almost impossible to lose once attained, and unless Austria is a madman you really only need to leave one fleet in the Ionian to block off the Turk...

Re: South Dakota weed

I understand that it is a technicality, it just seems like a bad approach to dealing with a democratic vote. If the David Cameron govt had wanted to ignore the Brexit vote's result on a technicality, they could definitely have opposed it (as it wasn't legally binding) but it would have been politic...

Re: South Dakota weed

Judges overturning things people voted for in the USA is so common that it usually doesn't even make headlines. I'm only 27, but I recall the vast majority of states voting against gay marriage, and the supreme court invalidating all of those votes. At the end of the day, most people in South Dakot...
