Middle Eastern History
I'm working on a curriculum for my AP World History class with a friend and it's my job to come up with resources covering Asia from 8000bc to 1450ad. I've found pretty much everything I need except for resources regarding Middle Eastern History. Do any of you know of good books that give a historical survey of the region in the time period I'm looking at? They can be online articles or books it doesn't matter.

Thanks.

So...Remember that "Star Trek Variant Map" I Brought Up Before?
I mentioned this summer that I'd like to try and work out a map for the Star Trek universe, with the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Borg, and maybe one other race (some said leave it at six with those powers, some suggested one more race to make the usual seven) as the powers, the planets as centers/"land," and space/wormholes as the "sea" spaces. So...bringing that up to speed...

How does one report cheating in a live game?

Don't post cheating accusations on the forum. Instead, send an email to [email protected]

but will they respond before the game ends? and i never accused anyone at all.... yet
Draugnar (0 DX)
01 Nov 10 UTC
No, but you listed the game. That has it's own implications.

The mods may not make it before the game ends, but they have many tools to catch the cheats even after the fact and other tools to punish them and undo some of the damage done.

You are relatively new here, so your suspicions of cheating may be that you've never experienced well coordinated gunboating from experienced players before, or it may truly be someone is cheating. The mods will get to the bottom of it.

I don't even think there was ANY coordination in that game. It was every man for himself till the end.

And I just went through the moves so far and, as an experienced gunboat player, all looks kosher to me.

People leave live games all the time. They run out of time or lose internet connectivity. Going CD means nothing.
Inspector Rex (0 DX)

so it's common on this site:( why bother playing then?
Draugnar (0 DX)
01 Nov 10 UTC
Germany didn't leave either. He missed one movement phase. Hardly leaving. And Lando is an established and respectable player.

Only in live games is it "common" and even that is an exageration.

yeah i was only in it the last little bit. I saw an open germany and thought the game would become a runaway for england. so i joined to try and even it up a bit.
Draugnar (0 DX)
01 Nov 10 UTC
Ah. BE glad you got a respected player to keep it from being a runaway. But even so, CDing doesn't mean the original Germany was cheating.
Inspector Rex (0 DX)
01 Nov 10 UTC
spose, but i would never do that, as a loser or a winner, it's sportsmanship, to play it out, yes?
Draugnar (0 DX)

Absolutely and completely frowned upon to abandon a game. That's why we have a stat for player's that shows their "left" games. With that opinion, you will be a very welcome addition to our little community. Welcome aboard Inspector Rex. If you want to play langer games, I'll be happy to play with you.

Sorry, but I'm an American and can honestly say I'd never heard of, much less seen, Inspector Rex. Most of my exposure to European TV is Doctor Who, Torchwood, and some of the Mystery and Masterpiece Theater series like the old Granada "Sherlock Holmes" series with Jeremy Brett, Poirot with David Suchet, and Cadfael with Derek Jacobi (one of my favorite Shakespearean actors, along with Kenneth Branagh).

I was playing a live one Friday night that was really going well and great fun, but we cancelled it after a couple of hours because of of the player's had to leave for a short time and another couldn't wait that long to resume play. But it had been 2 hours already and we were having great fun, especially as it was public press only.

Hey dannyboi - you have to be careful with multiple windows. The system remembers the last page you loaded and posts to that page, regardless of the page you typed the message into.

Support rules question
I have a question concerning the rules of cutting support.
Here's the hypothetical situation: I have an army in Belgium and a fleet in the North Sea. Germany has an army in Holland and an army in Ruhr. Germany orders Ruhr to Belgium supported by Holland. What happens if I convoy my army from Belgium to Holland via the North Sea? Does it cut the support or is it the same as if I attacked on land (i.e. Germany takes Belgium anyway)?

Game messages stat?
So there's this stat on my profile called "game messages." I would expect that every piece of press I send would increase this stat, but it's been sitting at 42 for a long time now. Am I misinterpreting the meaning of the stat or is it just the mystique of 42?

Ask the guy with a really-hard-to-spell German name
specifically, ask him about what to do when three advice threads pop up in the space of 24 hours. Who's to blame? Should we try bumping 'em off the first page? Will the mods ban the creators, or let us linger here in pain? Please note: I reserve the right to "pull a Thucy."
