This Time On Philosophy Weekly: A Socialist, Fascist, and Elitist Walk Into A Bar...
A bit of an offshoot from an earlier discussion a few days ago, wherein Socialism was examined ...well, needless to say I don't care for it, but I know Putin33 is, perhaps, our leading Socialist "voice" on the forum, and Fasces our leading proponent of Fascism, and I champion for a Republican Meritiocracy...any and all others are welcome--a break from the Royal Wedding and Bin Laden talk...Round Table Chat, anyone? ;)

Resigning?
How do I resign/quit from a diplomacy game?

You don't. You keep playing until the end if you've got any self-respect at all.

You don't. Quitting destroys the game for the remaining players (in this case about 16 of them). If you really don't want to play and wish to leave the site, I'll take over for you and finish your one game. Just PM me your password. I'll then scramble the password when the game is done.

When you join a game you should be making a commitment to everyone involved that you will play till the end so that the game doesn't get unbalanced because someone left.
So the option RESIGN is not available :)

Wait, are you quitting because of that one move where you bounced with the enemy? Cuz looking at times, it seems that way.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

a) why would you give up? (there are recorded single center powers returning to solo)
b) why would you ruin the game for other players by quitting?

On the other hand, you can either pause if you need a break, cancel if the game isn't being played, or find a sitter if you're away (or get a mod to kick you and have a replacement fill in for you)

Not that I'm talking about an ongoing game, but your problems probably stem from not having allies and thus, not talking. No builds in the first year can be annoying, but it's in no way a sign that you can't win. Keep at it.

Uh, what?
Enemy territory attacks unoccupied territory, I attack both enemy territory and unoccupied territory with one unit each.

He both defends my attack and blocks my attack on the unoccupied?

The Penultimate Diplomacy Player from History
Nominate your own or discuss the current list.

I'll start by nominating Napolean Bonaparte. Skilled diplomate, ruthless military strategist. Escaped from more than one tight spot and was well liked by people who should have known better and were screwed because of it.

Slow Server
Is there anything I can do if webdiplomacy is not displaying up to date information? It tells me I need to move but when I get to the game we are still waiting for someone else, tells me I have a new message but when I get there, there is no new message, showing old games in the top bar...stuff like that. Thanks

Transhumanism and the Death of Osama Bin Laden
As a transhumanist, I find even Osama's death tragic. The most beautiful thing in the world - the complexity and brilliance of a human mind, was ended today. And it may have been necessary. It may have been just. But that doesn't make it any less tragic. A human being, misguided as he may have been, but a human being nonetheless, with feelings, thoughts, and desires was murdered today.

(sort of) quick question
Just wondering about something. If you try to cut support, but the unit whose support you are trying to cut is support held by another unit (only one though) will support still be cut? For example, if Burgundy support holds Belgium, and Belgium support moves Ruhr into Holland, and I try to move from North Sea into Belgium, will Belgium's support move be stopped or not?

I've watcha couple of Tennant and Smtih's shows and...well, does anyone have suggestions, or explations?
