The country will hold all moves, retreats will disband, forced disbands will happen based on the furthest from home centers then alphabetical order: standard rules for someone not submitting orders. (I'm not 100% on how the forced disbands are implemented on webdip).

Also that country's units will now hold (not mutually support or anything) and will disband upon dislodgement instead of retreating.

Little slow on that response^

Stupid follow up question, but can the original player pick the position up again?

As I don't typically NMR (I hesitate to say never as that's a very long time) I'm curious to know.

I didn't set any movements because I wanted to be CDed. But I couldn't. Can we leave from a game?

@DD: Yes, they can. I've done it. But it's first come, first serve.

@Yavuzovic: You can email the mods at [email protected] to ask to be replaced. Not sure if they always honour that request. It may help if you have a replacement lined up yourself.

@Dippy, unless someone else takes over (which requires a password for passworded games, and a points investment) you are still listed as the player and can freely enter orders to take your country out of Civil Disorder.

@yavuzovic leaving mid game is considered rather rude, and thus not supported. You can find a replacement for yourself and then either CD, or ask a mod to kick you from the game and put your replacement in. If you login and look at the board each year i'm not sure it will CD you... But you have to miss two turns in a row before civil disorder kicks in.

@Orathaic: I believe all CD take-overs are now free. Even for passworded games.

Cheers everyone.

Thanks @Claesar and @orathaic

Wait i can get free points by taking over CDs? Expected gain from them is always positive if there is no cost... Why doesn't everyone do this??

Yes, free points. And even better, take-overs are automatically unranked (for Ghost Rating), so you can't lose there either. All of this was done to encourage people filling up these spots.

And a lot of people do. Why wouldn't you? It costs time, but only that.

... and while this might not discourage some people, usually when players CD it is NOT because their board position is so excellent. CD takeovers are usually difficult spots.

Yeah, but successfully take a difficult spot to a draw and you're golden :)

That's a generalisation Dargargoyle and often, but not always true. I've deliberately gone CD and left games despite being in a good position because of a betrayal. I'd actually like a "quit" option along with draw and cancel, so I can effect a quicker exit.

There are other examples where players suddenly have real world problems and want to leave a game

I think what the OP meant was, what happens to the populace when it goes into CD. Do they starve? Do taxes go up? Does Boromir stage a genocide on all Urug's? Theres many questions about what happens when a leader forgets to submit orders.
