I think I see literally one pixel of blue water between the island of Sardinia and the border with Ligurian Sea on the regular map. The adjacency is clearer on the large map.

There is a questionable adjacency between Arctic Ocean and Northwest Territories in Fall of the American Empire IV.

In the first phase of the Meta speedboat tournament, the bot played under its "yolo5" username. One participant kept a meticulous log of results and the bot outperformed every human in the tournament. It scored ~27% of all points available in the 100 game series compared to the top human's ~23%. The...

The tournament seems to be in its later stages, but it is difficult to guess an end date.

I suspect that filling live games is currently challenging because a fraction of the player base is involved in the Meta speedboat tournament. I'd definitely have joined several of the games you've been setting up if not for the tournament. Even previously, filling live games was not automatic. Ones...

If you're having trouble finding a game to join because of reliability rating, then you can get one by playing against bots: Games -> Create a New Game -> Play a Game Against Bots. If I'm not mistaken, completing a single phase there will give you a reliability rating which you can use to join games...

Q: Who is the winner of this bitter verbal dispute between England and France?

A: Neither. Germany is the winner. I did not need to read details of the above or loot at the board position to come up with that answer.

Objection! I have high enough draw rates in classic full press and gunboat to make the lists, but I'm nowhere to be found. Who could resist the chance to be labeled a carebear?

Contrary to what one might think at first glance, X^4 + 1 does indeed have a polynomial factorization with real coefficients.

626 = (25 + sqrt(2)*5 + 1) * (25 - sqrt(2)*5 + 1)

Cardinal, many live game players would be hesitant to join a game with 4 excused missed turns. That's a long delay if someone were to no-show.

I wanted to add an example of a draw whittle gone right. After a year and a half, I still had enough of a vague notion of the German player to recognize his username when we found ourselves on the same World Cup team. http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=242074 Playing as Russia in DSS gunboat, ...

Assuming the described moves happen on an Autumn phase and the bounced territory is one of your home supply centers, then yes, it will be available for a build.
