Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
Let's up the ante:
Petition to remove Russia from Earth.
We'll begin by carving a massive trench around Russia's borders that stretches all the way down to the mantle. Then comes the tricky bit, separating it from the mantle. Then the even trickier bit of launching the landmass into orbit, but we'll succeed! 'Murican freedom n' democracy is strong enough to overcome even the laws of physics!

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
This might be too radical a move. I'd suggest that we impose sanctions and limit their units to two from start.

The two fleets preferably, so if they cause problems annexation of Russia will be easy!

Well, I grew up in the fallout from the riots in the '90s
Static cranes stand lifeless, castin' shadows on the town
I stare out that hallowed ocean as if to pick a fight
For thе dreams my old man dreamt for me lay on thе other side, yeah

This is still in the "Off Topic" page, not the Politics page...

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
From my experience, Russia already gets removed from the board pretty early in Gunboat.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
Nah. We just need to add Ukraine as an eighth playable nation. Split Sevastopol into two supply centers, make the Ukraine province an SC, and now everyone has 3.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
I concur. In addition I think an option to lend builds should be added, so that all other powers can send each other builds...but only nations that have been attacked by Russia can receive loaned builds.ShankaDaWanka wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:23 pmNah.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
Well are we talking attacked by the current Russian polity or are we talking has been attacked by Russia ever? And how are we defining "Attacked"? If we mean, Russian troops were on the soil of that nation as enemies of it during wartime, France is eligible because Russian troops occupied Paris in 1814.Ferdack wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 11:08 pmFrance gets the short end of the stick in this variant...GracchusBabeuf wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:28 pmbut only nations that have been attacked by Russia can receive loaned builds.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
I assumed that we were sticking strictly to the definition of "attack" within the game of Diplomacy, not historical events.GracchusBabeuf wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 11:20 pmWell are we talking attacked by the current Russian polity or are we talking has been attacked by Russia ever?

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
I think that those despicable people who continue to play Russia on this website should be shamed, despised and banished. There are countless players among us, who pretend they are upstanding good people, like I am, but in their hearts are unfeeling brutish dogs...those people who continue to play Russia on Webdip. Because they have not taken a moral stand and allowed the Turks and Germans to assume their SCs, because they are unfeeling selfish dogs, they should be banished from the site. Let them form their own diplomacy site. Awful people, they are.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
I think that's a bit harsh. I think all webdip Russia players should be allowed to assume control of their country...but only after three seasons of civil disorder signifying regime change.Johnny Big Horse wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 3:11 amI think that those despicable people who continue to play Russia on this website should be shamed, despised and banished.

Re: Petition to remove Russia from Diplomacy
Please excuse me if I'm wrong, but is this a joke? Russia is very much not cool right now, and I think the choices Putin has made are disgusting. HOWEVER; This is a board game, why on earth would we remove Russia, it's not like that will actually make any difference in the real world. I understand doing it out of spite, but kicking out a nation would completely remove the historical asset of this game, which is what makes it so fun. Think of it on the bright side. If Russia remains, then we can kick the s*** out of it as many times as we want :D
