Not CDing
See inside.
gman314 (100 D)

Most of this community agrees that CDing is bad. Everytime someone posts saying they want to leave a game everyone rails on them. But, how do you keep yourself interested in the game? I often find it quite difficult to keep myself engaging fully in the game when I only have 3 or fewer SCs in 1905 or later and most of the time I just start putting in orders and not talking. This is particularly true when one player is overrunning the board and will almost certainly solo and I am not in a position to even try helping the stalemate. Or, if a draw is approaching and I'm stuck in a corner, I find it difficult to stay interested. Does anyone have brilliant ideas on how to stay interested and not CD under these (and other) circumstances?

Make fun of people in the public press!
That'll usually help.
Alternately don't stay interested.
Just watch youtube videos and remember to check back every five minutes to enter orders.

Oh, I wasn't thinking about live games, I don't play them. I think it would actually be easier to stay engaged when you're in a live game that processes every 5 minutes rather than requiring orders and press almost every day.
Just be crazy, it's my MO

Funny... I was just about to post something about wanting to quit the fuck out of a game that just began. If I can't get people to cancel, I'm making your MO mine, Pres E.

Mafia's advice applies to non-live games too. I find that obsessively checking order status every 5 minutes in 48-hour phase games keeps me interested in the game!

Most people don't want to eliminate someone else entirely from the game. Use this information wisely, promise to be another person's stoolie... do anything to stay alive, even if it is just a single SC that you won't be able to defend...

Even if you don't think you have a shot at a win, you can still have a huge influence on events. In a game where tides turn as quickly as this one, good diplomacy can turn a losing effort into you a respectable survive (in PPSC), or ensure you take part in the draw (WTA).

Rule question! Retreat edition!
Just looking for a quick reminder (I'm still working the rust out of my long absence). If Austria's Vienna Army supports its Army in Bohemia to Tyrolia and Italy moves its Tyrolia army to Bohemia, can an Austrian Army dislodged from Silesia retreat to Bohemia?

A couple of questions about American courts.
In the UK, when a jury has a verdict the judge asks them what the verdict is and they say it out loud. In the 'States, once a jury reaches a verdict, they write it down on a piece of paper and hand it to the judge, He or she reads it and then hands it back and someone in the jury reads it out.

Why do they hand it to the judge first? What does this achieve?

The Biggest Threat To Liberty is _____ (?)
I say a Lack of Education:
It was with more education we got out of the Stone Ages and into the Greco-Roman era...and then when education made a comeback, we had the Renaissance...and then the Englightenment...and then Civil Rights/Suffrage movements...cured diseases, more production...but currently my home state is 48th in education and the West is most of my doctors ARE from India...what's your take? Biggest threat is...what?

Probably not new game play idea, maybe for tourneys
Is there a tourney here that we could do a Triple vs Triple deal with a rogue Italy? I think if we have enough players that would be a fun thing to do. I think best would be 7 players or 49. Could be fun. Let me know if anyone is interested or has a way to make it a better idea.

The Top 10 Most Important Battles of All-Time
Pretty self-explanatory...if you want to try and rank your picks, bonus points.
I WILL give one caveat--all of my picks ARE slanted towards the West, that's just my bias...don't know enough Eastern Theatre battles to really include many, and those that do make my list are because the West drove back the East...so you can include Eastern battles--please do!--but I don't known them, so can't include them. Let the War of the Words begin! :)
