Wouldn't that be cool? I am more sociable and chatty here than anywhere else and I hate messaging/texting and facebook.

Is anyone interested in a live game in an hour or so?
Stuck in the boonies tonight so I wouldn't mind a live game. I'd prefer to make it password protected . WTA, classic of course. Open on the bet but I'd prefer low pot. Any interest for a 930 EST start?

Belgian Gambit
I've thought about opening with Belgian Gambit (Bre-Mid, Par-Pic, Mar-Bur) next time I draw France, particularly in a gunboat game. It seems to have a decent record with other players, and I've never used it myself... any thoughts on it?

Multi-color map
I tried to go back into the thread but it's locked...so, here it is, the long awaited WHAT THE HECK?! map where no single area on the board has the same color touching. Special thanks to Jesus who made this possible.

Bounce question (due to mind fart!)
If a unit attacks an opposing unit that is supporting another opposing unit into the original units territory, will both attacking units bounce?

I feel like I know the answer to this but in the middle of a very serious mind fart.... Please help me clear the air on this one guys
LanGaidin (1509 D)

No. You cannot cut support to a unit which is providing that support into that territory
LanGaidin (1509 D)
04 May 12 UTC
It sounds circular, but essentially a unit which is being attacked cannot be the one to cut the support mechanism to the attacking unit

Do the Russian units bounce or does Rumania sneak into Budapest?
DemonGSides (107 D)
04 May 12 UTC
Think of it this way; when a unit supports another, they are also moving into the province, but they are moving back to the province they came from at the end of battle. That's always helped me understand what's going on in support situations way better than any other explanation.

Diplomat;

Army in vienna supports army in budapest's move to Galicia
Army in Budapest moves to Galicia

Army in Galicia moves to Budapest
Army in Rumania moves to Budapest

Rumania would sneak in, as it's movement isn't impeded by any other unit, since the movement from Galicia to Budapest was stopped by the supported movement from Budapest to Galicia.

At least, I think.
diplomat554 (2104 D)

That's what I think, too, and it would make sense for a game as intuitive as Diplomacy, but technically they might bounce.

The two Russian armies should bounce in Budapest.

The army in Galicia is dislodged, the army in Rumania slips into Budapest.

What is it lately? Every game I've been in, I am dealing with people who get all upset and start making personal attacks or start saying "I'm taking my ball and going home! How dare you stab me! I'm going to abandon everything and help some other player win, while trash-talking you incessantly!!"

America's immigration policy today is selectively enforced, xenophobic, and antiquated. The United States needs allow in any and every single immigrant with a clean criminal record that wants to come here. It's too bad neither candidate embraces that philosophy.

Every time a player enters this game's board, they will be reminded to do what is so essential in gunboats but no gunboat noobs ever do!
It is genius I tell you. And no I'm not ruining the anonymity of the game, I am not in this one since I so badly wanted to point out how awesome the name was.
