Unions
Can anyone explain to me why I'm strongarmed into paying a bunch of highway robbers ~5% of my teaching salary? As far as I can tell, the only thing my union has ever done is prevent me from negotiating my own salary. Thanks for that.

Country Randomizer
I have been playing here for some time, and I'm a little upset with the way the randomizer works. I have started in 25 games and have not once been chosen to play as Turkey. I have been Turkey once when I joined midgame. I would like to play a game from start to finish as Turkey, but it has yet to happen. Can somebody explain how the algorithms work exactly and why I have yet to be Turkey yet have been Russia now 6 times.

Draug did NOT get addicted.
gameID=132439

France was an *idiot*. I brought two fleets down to help him hold the line and he instead decided to take my SCs. Then, when the line was held again, he attacks my fleet and pops it leaving one fewer defenders on the line that was our eventual downfall. Roka, you are a fool!

Good EOG Roka ....... classy !!

FUUUUUUCK YOU ENGLAND. FUCK FUCK FUCK YOURSELF, go and fuck yourself really hard!

What the fucking fuck were you doing? I got Tunis covered all alone, yet you keep coming south! WHY???? Please tell me why????

All you had to do was to blow up that fucking Russian fleet on the north, and we draw.
Yet, what the fuck you do instead???? You fucking keep coming on me.

You had 3 fucking phases to solve this. THREE phases, not one but three! one-two-three, capish?
All you needed to do was to attack fucking Moscow, and take Prussia from Livonia. Yet you chose fucking support hold??

Why on Earth?? Please tell me!
It was clear I will attack Munich, you attack Prussia, hence it's enough if Kiel support holds Berlin.

Yet you do nothing, for 2 fucking phases, but you keep coming south.

After you could have convoyed to prussia, and blow up fucking livonia 1 round later, yet you chose support hold again and you keep coming

south, which is completely safe.

Then you let him into prussia, which also could have been avoided! 4th phase! Fuck meeeee! Seriously?!?!?!



I fucking HATE YOU!



I put a lot of effort into this game, it was on of my favorites so far, an extremely balanced and well-played game, I was even looking

forward to write a very positive EoG praising all of you. And you fucked it all up! I couldn't even eat my lunch today I was so fucking

nervous, my blood pressure is in the skies for hours now!

Fuck you you asshole, I attacked you because you are an incompetent prick and I wanted to do the job instead of you! I needed an army in

Kiel, hich you were unable to deliver for years! We had this game covered in Italy as well, after you fucked up the north, lucky for us

Russia moved badly, yet you attack me, you moron and you came to Italy to fuck that up toooo!

Kiel also supported you into Berlin, and you still attack me, and you retrat to Spain! Idiot!
Check that motherfukicng BIG MAP or the orders! Fuck meee! I supported you into Berlin a fucking lot of times during the game, yet you

didn't move in!

Jesus motherfucking Christ! You idiot, I was trying to help you, you fuck!
Why didn't you retreat to Gulf Of Lyons, I attacked you to retreat there and help Marseilles into Piedmont or hold Tuscany! Jesus!

And finally I get Peidmont, which was all but certain, all you needed to do was fucking hold Naples, and we draw. And what do you do you

stipud fuck? Yo attack me in portugal and you let russia take Naples, so even if you got back StP we lose.
You idiot, I also supported you to Berlin again, all you had to do was to move to denmark, so next turn you can cover baltic, yet you go to

Skaggerack, why the fuck would you do that???? Doesn't really matter though, because Russia had enough brain to check the big map, and saw

my support, so he held Berlin next round.

How can someone be so screwed up? You had like 6-8 chances to save this fucking game! I'm trying my best here. I voted drew in 1914 as to

show my respect and humility towards the game, as I have never seen a soooo balanced game. I wanted to have a 7-way draw for real, as the

model example how this game should be played. I was in love with this game. And you ass you ruined it. Thank you!

I leave this fucking website now!

What years, Draugnar? From 1922 on, you were the one screwing up it seems. Roka played bold taking me out, but that would have been fine if you didn't approach him in NAO and saved Berlin.

Nigee, now you can see me why I'm leaving the site today, as soon as I get replaced.

I put a hell lot of effort to save this fucking game, Draug had 6-8 chances to save it, and all he was obsessed with was to attack me. There was no point at all during the game when I could have lost Tunis, his fleets were useless down there.

In gunboat terms he is a relative noob, you knew that when you entered the game with him,
You want to play all the top games and then play someone ranked 500 or whatever, what do you expect, you pays your money and takes your chances.
My question would be, how did all these top gunboaters let Filofax get into such a dominant position ..... maybe they should be held responsible as well, not just a GB noob such as Draug.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
12 Feb 14 UTC
Mapu makes a good point. I too start to sometimes fret big time when a game is going sour not because of me that I've poured my brain into, and I just need to remind myself it's just a game. I just do my "Woosah" meditations to calm down.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
12 Feb 14 UTC
@Nigee, obviously all of us made blunders in the game at one point or another, except for Russia I suppose. It's the end-game blunders that directly result in a solo over a draw that are most frustrating, and Roka snapped :(.
rokakoma (19138 D)
12 Feb 14 UTC
@Nigee: I tell you the 3rd time not losing is the problem, the problem is that some idiot fucks up my weeks of work and effort put into a game.

@Mapu: that's what I will do exactly, I do not need to work my ass of in a game, hours everyday, and somebody comes and shits all over it. I couldn't even eat at my parents in the afternoon, I feel nausea still, I got soooo upset I cannot even describe it. When Draug didn't blew up Prussia I wanted to cry, literally.
Tibarius (2767 D)
12 Feb 14 UTC
Rokakoma - please calm down. After all, it is only a game. I can understand you, since for me it is something very personal after all, even if it is only a game. But why turn your back on something you love? If you wouldn't love it - you wouldn't care in the way you do. Go take a break of it ...

Roka. I am a noob in gunboat, generally speaking. I think I made one hell of a show considering how many fucking times int eh early game you kept trying to invade my territory. But to show you my thoughts through out, I will go copy/paste my notes section.
rokakoma (19138 D)
12 Feb 14 UTC
Tibarius: because I have physical symptoms when someone ruins my works, doesn't matter its studying/webdip/cooking/whatever. I'm not trying to create things so others destroy it.

Yes it's a game, but if it affects my health, I have to stop exposing myself to situations where others can destroy my work. Even if they intentions are good. I don't think Draug did it deliberately, but he should have trusted his opponent with his experience that I will not throw the game.

He was playing a top15 GR gunboat, he could have assumed if I attack him, Russia will stop me. or example I attacked him in Western Med, to HELP HIM to retreat to Gulf of Lyons. It was a clear message, asking for help!!! All I wanted all aling was help, help, help! Crying out loud both north and south!

04:54 PM (To: You, from you) - If we lose, it's all on you, France. We had a line and you screwed it up by popping my fleet and not supporting your army.
11:21 AM (To: You, from you) - Spring, 1925: The next disband opens a whole for Russia. Don't be a moron France.
11:10 AM (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1924: France! What the fuck! If I have to defend against you now, Russia *will win*!!!!!!
08:12 AM (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1923: Now, France, please see that my fleets are coming down to support hold hous and stop Russia's solo. Don't be an idiot cause I'm not.
22 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Spring, 1912: See, I'm simply smarter than you.
20 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Spring, 1911: Edi-Lon via North Sea and Lvp blocking Wal. I call that castling and France is probably going "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! How did he do that!" Just wait until he see my fall moves.

Give it up France. I'm smarter than you. Turn back around and go after Italy again.
18 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1910: He is fighting Germany and Italy and he keeps coming after me. He is an idiot.
17 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Spring, 1910: Here comes France again. Fool...
14 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1909: Temporary stab of Russia can now be returned to him if he makes progress and wishes to take it. France is finally realizing that Germany and Italy are the big bass and moved to block both from growing his way. Meanwhile, I continue to bring Germany down one SC at a time. The nest defense is a strong offense and I am offensive as they come. ;-)
8 Jan 2014 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1906: Russia is the only one I trust and I have no plans to stab him. Germany and France I hope die a painful death and I am doing my part to make that happen.
31 Dec 2013 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1903: France jumped Germany. Russia seems friendly. Hopefully Germany will back off his slightly aggressive moves and face down France instead.
29 Dec 2013 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1902: Autumn 1902 - Focus on restraining France and hope Germany at least stays friends
28 Dec 2013 (To: You, from you) - Spring, 1902: Build Lon and move to Eng.
27 Dec 2013 (To: You, from you) - Autumn, 1901: Taking notes for an EOG.

Spring 01 - Standard English opening.
Fall 01 - Keep France from the triple build. Will keep Germany and Russia friendly I hope.

Draug: we never had the line, that was the problem in the first place. You will never understand that, you hadn't had Berlin for 100% until there was a fleet. And Until you haven't had Berlin, we couldn't draw.

Berlin was fucking unstable from the moment you let the Russian fleet out of StP.

Please someone enlighten this guy, that

a) Berlin was not safe and I couldn't help him at all, to solve it.

b) a stalemate line, giving france Rome+Naples, requires 7 units, SEVEN!

Naples held by Tyrr
Rome held by Tus
Pied held by GoL
and Tunis.

I didn't have seven units down there, and you were not helping this line, hence it was impossible from the beginning to hold Italy. But I did move properly and you still should have held Naples from Tyrr, which you have also missed.

Forget it Roka. The moment you took an unguarded SC for no fucking reason, I became tempted to just throw the game. Now I wish I had so I could just say "fuck you for taking my SC when we were fighting Russia". It was a stupid fucking move onnyour part and the beginning of the end.

But lets play heads up on VDip and I'll kick your ass all over the board just like I did in the beginning and mid game every time you tried to invade my territory.
