Scrolling messages, perhaps iPad related?
I'm starting my first game on this site and I've received several long messages from other countries. I can only see the last paragraph or so of communications on the screen and there is no obvious way to scroll back for the rest. Am I missing something? I'm using an iPad and haven't been able to check from a laptop yet so maybe the issue is iPad related.

CD Takeovers
No one ever takes over low-SC CD's, because they have little chance of profiting. This frequently results in a cancel, which *rewards* the person going CD, and even if someone does take over, this disappears from their statistics. I have a solution to fix this problem.

Get it out of your system.
Insult the person who posted before you.
Most days, thanks to the quasi-anonymity of the internet, there are a ton of insults thrown around in this forum. Use this thread to get the rage out of your system. Post a reply insulting whoever posted just before you. It doesn't have to be factual, it just has to be insulting.
I'll go first, and this applies to you all: You're ugly and nobody likes you.
Your turn.

Support hold question.
I order Unit "A" to move, breaking one of opponents support orders to move on me, a standoff occurs. I order Unit "B" to support hold Unit "A" as my opponent orders two other units to move on Unit "A" also. Does Unit "B's" support hold of Unit "A" fail because Unit "A" was originally ordered to move?

Black Press Game
Hey guys! Time for another Black Press Game!
Stukus (2126 D)
13 Apr 11 UTC
In a black press game, not only are the players anonymous, but their messages are anonymous as well, so that no one knows which country is talking. There's only public press, but you never know for sure who's saying what. If that's confusing, hopefully someone else can explain it better.

Anyways, last time we used wordpress, this time around I was thinking twitter, since it'd be easier for the curious to follow. We'd all have the password to a single account and we would only input messages there. We'd (obviously) try to confuse each other, which results in a lot of fun, especially early on.

So, if six other people want to try this, let me know. I'm thinking a 20 D buy-in, but let me know. I don't want something experimental to be too big.

now i'm confused... grey press is where your messages are anon, and black press is where they CAN be faked as being from someone else... right?

I believe orathic is partially correct. The line between grey and black seems somewhat blurry but is well defined.

In grey press, there is the ability to send messages anonymously, but otherwise, non-anon messages are reliably from the designated sender.

In black press, one may also spoof messages from another player. Note that one could spoof messages in grey press too, but if there is an option to also send non-anonymously then such messages would be noticeably unreliable.

The type of game that Stukus is suggesting perhaps should be classified as "public press only" and "grey press only". Since you are only allowing grey press, then effectively any message that is claiming to be from a specific player is like black press.
Also, since the channel would be implemented by a twitter account or blog, a player could potentially delete press as well, maybe before some of the players have seen it. I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind or what to call that.
Stukus (2126 D)
13 Apr 11 UTC
Well we agree not to delete stuff beforehand. And I wasn't aware of grey press. In this game, no message is reliably from anyone. Every message has an anonymous sender. I guess you could spoof messages by signing off as another, which is what we did a lot.

Copy Pasting Messages
I mostly play gunboats, but I'm been dipping into some live games and I see people copy pasting messages a lot. I don't like it. I know it can be faked, but that seems like so much work. How do other players feel about it?

Everyone knows those mid-end game 1 SC, nomadic countries of whom the only goal is to annoy you, their conquerer. IE the one center England that has snunk from Ediin-Norway-Den-Kiel-Bel-Brest and is now vacationing in Portugal, etc. My question is, how do you deal with them? Do you negoatiate? Do you send extra units to cut off all escape routes and gain the much yearned for destroy? or let it sit and fry the bigger fish?
