Convoy question
If an army is being convoyed into territory A by a fleet in sea B and is supported into A by another unit, what happens if a fleet in Territory A is supported into Sea B?

Do they bounce because of equal force, or does the fleet from A dislodge the fleet in B before the convoy is successful?

high-level gunboat - any interest?
I'd like to play a game with, say, folks who are in the top 50 gunboat players according to the ghostratings. Would we be able to put a game together?

A prealliance WW1 mock?
Does this sound balanced or does it need work? Obviously it doesn't require actual diplomacy but I just wanted to think about the map and how well it correlates to WW1.

The players are:

A: user1981
E: bellcp
F: different_pseudonym
G: CommanderByron
I: Balduran
R: paul747
T: Sandyshu47

The TAs are:

A: Ezio
E: captainmeme
F: Ogion
G: Bladerunners
I: slypups
R: stefanodangello
T: Hapapop

The professors will be ghug, goldie, and yoyo.

I would suggest that students and TAs reach out to each other, establish a way to communicate, and start discussing how they want to begin the game.

Anybody except the players and TAs may post questions or comments. Good luck, and have fun!

This seems like a strange set up compared to my SoW, which was anonymous and I'm pretty sure the other players didn't know who was TA-ing who.

Most SoW's are non-anon, from my experience. And while the TA may have a distinctive playstyle, it is ultimately up to the player to decide what to do, and the playstyle can get muddled based on the information the TA receives from the player.

One last administrative thing. Students and TAs are free to post to bump or get a star in the thread and nothing else. If a student/TA team urgently needs to contact a professor, have the TA do it privately.

I'm do a first real post later.

What is involved in becoming a TA/professor for this game?
There were posts asking for volunteers in a separate thread. Generally, TAs are pretty good players, professors are very good players. Anyone is allowed to spectate the game and discuss here, but it's the professors who will be leading that discussion

Alright, we've been playing for a few hours. What are we supposed to be doing?

First off, talk. Constantly. To everyone. I've seen far more "good" players that can't do anything but talk a lot than smart players who don't talk a lot. Even if you don't feel like you have a lot to say, just chat idly, or discuss game philosophy, or try to find out what they're doing. It helps build relationships, it shows people you care, and you can often glean things that help you figure out how to approach people. One of the most important parts of this game is convincing people that what you want is what they want. That's only possible if you know what it is they're looking for.

Secondly, plan. You can't control everyone's moves every phase, but you should know what you want them to do. Think about the advantages to any alliance you're considering. How will this get me to a solo? What will I do if I'm stabbed? When do I want to move on, and to what? What do I want to happen elsewhere on the board? Figure out the answers to these questions and figure out how to shape the board the way you want it. That's how you win.

Again, a lot is out of your control, so you need to be adaptable, and you definitely shouldn't be spending this phase developing a singular plan and going all in on it. Talk to everyone, see what they want, see what the future might hold with them, plan three or four or fifteen solos, and decide which paths are the best when you need to. That could be early, as acting boldly is a great way to secure an alliance. Just don't commit before you know what you want or whether others want it to.

Third, have fun with it. This is a fucking game. Try something crazy. Make some friends. Strive to entertain or even outsmart your loving professors. Put effort into this game and you'll see good results.
"Third, have fun with it. This is a fucking game."

You tried a Con-Sev swap while I was Austria and blatantly and obviously lied about it. Did you expect me to applaud you?

Daffy old MajorMitchell's commentary, post one.

The most exciting, anticipation filled time of the game..Spring 01 Diplomacy... Spring 01 moves are the most critical set of moves.
So players are encouraged to put in a good effort.. Messaging all other players, being realistic with expectations, the art of divining, predicting and planning.
Risks have to be taken with opening moves, not outlandish, outrageous risks..but carefully calculated risks.

Were they culpulable collavorators who didn't do enough to save the many executed? Or did they do as much as anyone could be expected to do in resisting Nazi power and surviving the camp? https://libcom.org/history/life-centurys-midnight
