Re: Why aren't eliminated players muted?

Personally, I love it when vanquished opponents start acting as newsreporters and give their impression of developments. They are often humorous, and sometimes give me a perspective I didn't see. Often they have an axe to grind, and I enjoy that as well. I am all for it.

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

I think we just played a bot in our current game. We ousted him first. He responded with too many messages and lied to everyone. Yep, the first shot. The over-messaging and lack of filtering wasn't good, but it was a fine proof of concept. The messages were pretty good for the most part, just too m...

Re: Are Bot Games Gunboat?

What I hate about the bots is that sometimes they team up on you. They seem to know who the human is, and they refuse to attack each other, instead, you end up fighting bots on all sides. The bot mannerisms I noticed are: 1. There is a priority of actions, and saving a home SC is more important tha...

Re: Do drag queens diminish the importance of gender pronouns

I think gender pronouns have already been diminished in value. If anyone can claim to be of either gender or none, and if they can change their minds, switching back and forth through time, then what does gender mean anymore? It means an identity now, whereas it used to mean a physical characteristi...

Re: Forum moderation/activity discussion

From the article referenced on the first page: https://unherd.com/2020/01/cast-out-how-knitting-fell-into-a-purity-spiral/ A purity spiral occurs when a community becomes fixated on implementing a single value that has no upper limit, and no single agreed interpretation. The result is a moral feedin...

Re: Forum moderation/activity discussion

To me, I know, I am not a power user, but I will give my 2 cents anyway. No, I won't, because I know that I will be attacked as hateful. I like to go to FTF tournaments, when I am not banned, and I don't want to make enemies. I think the hypersensitivity has killed public discourse. There are some v...

Re: 2021 Face-to-Face Diplomacy Calendar

So like WDC got cancelled in 2020, 2021 and 2022?

Actually, I was there at all three events and was the only player. So that makes me a world champion right?

Re: Can you explain this? Cut Support that works?

It is neither of the above. The relevant rule here is that support cannot be cut by an attack from the territory to which the support was given. In this case, Austria’s attack on Bud failed because it was a standoff (3 against 3). But because Bud supported an attack on Ser, and this is the unit tha...

Re: Can you explain this? Cut Support that works?

It is explained well above but I always like to think about it as what is happening in real life When you cut support you are in essence stopping a unit supporting another attack by distracting those troops (i.e., that unit has to focus on you instead now). In this situation Budapest's "job" is sup...

so, because Bud was attacked, I would think, it could not help Bul get into Ser
