World Map
I just noticed if you build a fleet in Moscow, you can't move to Ukr or Arm, only the Black Sea.

U.S. College Baseball
I know most people are into professional baseball, but I myself much prefer college baseball. The regular season has ended and the post-season is about to start (Friday). Anyone else here pay attention to college baseball?

Does it annoy when people don't ready their orders?
Does it annoy you when you're playing a game that you'd like to finish sometime in the near future and you've all written your orders. But one country doesn't ready them, only saves them with the grey check. Don't you hate that???

And what about muffins that aren't cooked all the way through? They have a real firm, crispy outside, but when you bite into the muffin, it is all soggy in the middle. Don't you just hate that???

You must be new. I was pretty much vilified, raked over the coals, tarred and feathered and anally raped for making the same suggestion when I first joined. I now often sit with a gray check mark, waiting for a little bit of last minute intel or negotiations...or just being a prick! lol You'll get over it and learn to embrace not being ready. Until then...do NOT get pissy about it!!!
Gobba (2209 D(G))

And what about that nice red apple that you take with you for lunch. And you think about it all day, and when you bite into it, you find half a worm. Don't you really just hate that?

Sort of. Usually I try to acquire my intel before I log off, but sometimes it's just not feasible.

Indeed, if you want a short game then go for one.
That said, I finalize whenever possible, as there's no point drawing out a game for no reason.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jun 10 UTC
1 or 2 day games, I only finalize if I think I and my allies are truly ready. If there is any chance one of them will have something to say, then I wait. In gunboat I always finalize unless the timing will suck for a trip or weekend.
warsprite (152 D)
07 Jun 10 UTC
Sometimes I wait, sometimes I don't. Like krellin said, it's worth at times to wait. Don't get PO'd, it maybe just what they want.

the only time people should finalize is builds and retreats
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jun 10 UTC
I disagree. The only time they should finalize is whent hey feel like it. And the onyl time they shouldn't is when they don't feel like it. It is their perogative to finalized or not and you nor I have any say in that.

Well excuse me when I'm annoyed when someone makes a game take 259 days. (gameID=12882) Yes, there were a few pauses, but not enough to make the game take that long.

I generally unfairly target people who hold up games. So people who play with me are welcome to gray instead of green during build/retreat phases all they want...

Just as I am welcome to make sure they're wiped from the map before the end of the game. Fair is fair, non?

Oui. We can all agree that a player can take all the time they are alloted and pursue whatever outcome they desire.

Woudn't that be fair is unfair (you said you "unfairly target people who hold up games", not me). :-)
spyman (424 D(G))

I find in most games that players don't always finalize. There can be good reasons for this. The most important of which is to maximize press. Also choosing to finalize (or not finalize) can give sometimes hints as to who has been talking who (or maybe I just have an active imagination).

Unfair is still fair. Let's not go into the philosophy and psychology of diplomacy. ;)

Mark Up Racket
I broke my glasses on Thursday.When I brought them in to get fixed they said the arm piece would cost $60.But might not be the same as the rest of the frames.But for $60 they could give a new frame almost the same as old one.Funny I paid $259 for that frame and now for $60 I can get new one.What a mark up.I'm in the wrong bussiness.

Best Historical Politicians
This thread is dedicated to those great politicians of history, who accomplished much of what they did, not with an iron sword, but a silver tongue.

As a general rule to prevent arguments, nobody after WWI may be referenced.

Finally a topic that matters...
I like to repeat myself when I say "my bad". As if it somehow reinforces the fact that I'm sorry for something. Stupid? I'll open it up for discussion.
