Situation on the board
Couldn't find an answer anywhere...
How do I plot the situation? Is it done automatically or do I need a mapper app or something like that?

Russia
Is Russia that bad of a country?
So they're in Syria. So they took Crimea. So they attacked Georgia.
Is that bad enough to start a new cold war over?

Switzerland doesn't frequently come to mind as the country that could send the world into a cold war.

Russia and China are both considered international bullies by the US because they pick on weaker countries.

Russia went into Syria to help out it's ally deal with an insurgency, and Crimea was a "peaceful" takeover of the pro-Russian part of Ukraine. As for Georgia, Russia was assisting some separatists who wanted to create independent republics which likely fell under indirect Russian control.

As a country, Russia isn't that bad. The Russians have made valuable cultural contributions like ballet, have been instrumental in taking down would-be European conquerors(Napoleon and Hitler), and hold the record of being the only European country that hasn't been successfully invaded.

Eh, they're pretty decent if you're aggressive enough, because you're already on both sides of the stalemate line to start. I'd say Austria and Italy are both worse.

That wasn't modern Russia. It was basically the province of Kievan Rus'.

Very different.

They weren't "Russia" but they were "Rus." Moscow was occupied and they became vassals.

If you're going to be that nitpicky, the UK technically dates to the early 19th century and they haven't been successfully invaded since then either.

The closest to being Russia has been conquered from Muscovy to today was when Germany sent them a gift-wrapped Lenin.

Russia tough country to play both in mod dip (game creator cruel to Russia) ... and in the real world. Putin a buffoon of incredible magnitude and now has a buffoon friend in Trump to cause the world all kinds of grief.

Putin is actually a genius on the scale of the likes of Napoleon.

He knows how to maneuver the world stage, his own electorate, and fix a wrecked economy (like when inherited from Yeltsin).

@KingCyrus: I suppose but medieval Rus is very different from Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, or modern Russia.

Putin's one of those leaders that comes every once in a while in history. Truly unique, and capable of changing the world.

Didn't the Syria government literally ask Russia to help defend them. I don't see why America is painting Russia as such a terrible country right now.
My facebook feed is littered with "Putin and Russia are evil. We must stop the bullies" articles.

How to stop being garbage?
I've basically noticed that whether or not I get 2v1'd in 1901 or '02 basically comes down to a crapshoot. I find it's very difficult to get conversations and discussion rolling, especially in lower-bet games. Anyone got tips?

Funny business or just my usual paranoia?
I've noticed a trend in gunboat games....when entering orders -- especially during '01 -- a given great power will click SAVE instead of READY. More often than not, an adjacent great power will do the same. Amazingly, these powers don't move on each other. While it may be frowned upon, is this a way of signalling a wish for non-aggression/cooperation? ...and if it's not...why do it?

...and yes the walls talk to me...sometimes in harsh tones.

Communication Block and Mute Player Inquiry.
Hey I am wondering if muting a player in a game can carry over into actual private messages and forum post messages? I received a private message for actual in game conversations where I am not even a player in the game.

Can people be muted/have blocked communications out of actual diplomacy games? Does anyone know if this is possible?

ACA Premium Reimbursement
Today I was refunded a decent amount of last year's insurance premium through my company because our insurer didn't spend enough of their income from premiums on claims. What is going on here that some people are seeing their premiums double while some insurers literally don't have enough claims. Is it just happenstance that this provider only has healthy people? A civil, informed discussion would be appreciated, if at all possible.
