Roman Legions vs. Mongol Hordes
To commemorate the 807th anniversary of the grand Quriltai which saw Temujin elected as Genghis Khan, I ask who would win a battle between a force of Mongols and a slightly larger force of Roman legions (for the sake of discussion, we will say from the late republic/early empire period) in a head-to-head matchup? Please discuss.

Is war between Russia and England more or less inevitable?
The Norway-StP corridor is very hard to DMZ. Perhaps conflict will always occur. I at least cannot think of a time in recent memory that they went the whole game without fighting (barring an early elimination of one or both).

Discouraging country based resigns thought...
Webdip uses a country weighting system where the more often you have been a country, the less a chance you have of being it again and vice versa. So how about use that to deal with people that abandon a game because they got a country they don't like?

Is it just because I'm in college or what?
Does anyone else have the experience that the time when gender issues and parity come most the fore is when a coed group of people goes partying together? Shit just happens and you have to make decisions based on that stuff more often than in normal life. At least I feel that way. Thoughts?

... but we both made mistakes. I was Germany. My biggest mistake was not reading order history. Like a total noob, I missed two support moves by England into Russia (1903 and 1904). If I saw them, I would have won the game, probably. Italy, on the other hand, didn't understand the crucial role of Tyrolia for two years, so I had enough time to bring reinforcements from Berlin. Good game everyone.

My EOG was going to be criticising France for being a hopeless noob who failed miserably to attack Germany and made the classic error of attacking England, but I find it's someone who has played 900 games .....oops !!
Anyways I've had that conversation with MM and he obviously still thinks it's a great idea
Zmaj (215 D(B))
15 Jul 12 UTC
Hahaha, I never stop wondering at the number of points of MichiganMan. He lost every game we played together. Nigee, when you moved those two fleets into Nth and Hel, I was as good as dead. But MM never saw the opportunity, lol.

Exactly, I thought wtf, it's a noob playing like a dick ...... apparently not !!
MichiganMan (5121 D)
15 Jul 12 UTC
I don't understand what you two are admonishing me about -- especially you Nigee. I tried to attack Germany from Burgundy in Autumn '02, but your attack on my EC fleet thwarted my attempt. To make matters worse, Germany guessed correctly and I got knocked out of Burgundy.

@Zmaj, I didn't lose the game -- if I am not mistaken -- I got the same number of points that you did from this game. I saw the opportunity, but I was also worried about Italy as he kept posturing as if he was coming my way. As always, you never cease to display what an arrogant prick you are.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
15 Jul 12 UTC
There was one point when you had moved back into EC and I had attacked Germany, if you had attacked Belgium then ...... but what you did made no sense, or so the game result would suggest. Anyways I thought you were a noob and you wasn't so I was wrong, maybe France is not your favourite :-)

Lol. MichiganMan, you didn't lose the game because I took pity on you in the end. I could've taken all your SCs, you know :)
MichiganMan (5121 D)
15 Jul 12 UTC
Yeah, you could have -- there is no doubt about that. But, you didn't. Just don't understand why you have be so abrasive and derogatory towards me.

It's not like you played some spectacularly brilliant game. You basically benefited -- along with Italy -- from Russia NMR's and got 2 SC's that game gave you an advantage.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
15 Jul 12 UTC
True. I never said it wasn't about luck too. Anyway... Spicy is right, we all need love :D
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))

I saw it like this, you're France attacking Germany and struggling.
England is also attacking Germany.
If you weaken England by attacking him who is going to benefit ...... schoolboy error !!
MichiganMan (5121 D)
15 Jul 12 UTC
Perhaps it was, but at the time, I thought Germany was surely going to see that I wasn't attacking him any more and that he should go after Italy. I thought we could have an amicable split of your island and together we'd get after Italy. I assumed incorrectly. Had you not hit my EC fleet in Autumn 1902, this might well be a moot conversation.
MichiganMan (5121 D)
15 Jul 12 UTC
@Zmaj, typically, when you "get lucky" that isn't the time to go around talking shit about the way others played the game. I had two moves that would have changed your fate. One was England's doing, the other was my own. Don't break your scrawny little arm patting yourself on the back.
MichiganMan (5121 D)

doesn't this game almost always hinge upon a move here or there?

So has obiwanobiwan finally matured and can I take him off my mute list?
Obi need not answer. I won't see it. But does anyone else want to chime in with their opinion so I can decide if it is safe to take him off? I kind of miss his long winded posts, but he got so over the top with his youthful insistence he knew everything I had to mute him or kill him before his 21st birthday, and I thought the former was the better option.
