Is it wrong to CD in protest?
When a game should be cancelled in all manners of courtesy, are you justified in a CD? Lets imagine there are multiple CDs or a major power like Russia, Austria, France, or Germany CDs and the game refuses to cancel is it wrong to not waste your time and simply CD as well?

CDs are only justified if one absolutely cannot play out their position - i.e. family emergency, natural disaster, power outage, etc. Don't make a game even worse than it already is. Besides, sticking around means you can yell at the people that didn't cancel once it's over.

My street name is Northumberland Avenue.

To be honest, if there is a live game with a couple of CDs and silent neighbours who won't cancel (very rare, but it happens) I would probably CD. Life is too short.

It depends if you can get enough points staying around to make it worth wasting your time. Sometimes time is worth more.

Yes, it is absolutely wrong. Soloing in protest though is highly recommended.

I think anyone who directly benefits and solos because of a CD is a terrible diplomacy player and absolutely a despicable human being with no integrity.

I'm in a game like this right now. Austria never showed up, and shortly after England and Italy left. I've suggested cancelling, but Turkey doesn't respond to anything. It sucks, but I just keep on playing. It helps that I'm doing really well. ;)
BombSite_A (123 D)
29 Apr 15 UTC
CommanderBryon, I think it really depends on the situation. If the player benefits from it so refuses to cancel, they're despicable, but if the game's going to keep going on anyways, they might as well keep playing, and I don't think we can blame them for benefiting from a CD.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
29 Apr 15 UTC
@bombsite- I agree with that. I am mainly talking about those who benefit.

@abge- integrity. playing a game and realizing that its just wrong to take advantage of something not built into the game. because if this were being played in person there wouldnt be an NMR.

CDs *are* built into the game. Where do you think the term Civil Disorder comes from?

Is this seriosuly the opinion of this site? so we should stop canceling games in which players CD because there is always that 1 person who is going to benefit and they should not cancel?

How to support attack across sea
Let's say that a fleet in N Sea convoys a troop from Lon to Hol. If a fleet in Bel wants to support that move, does the order say from Lon or from N Sea? I am thinking Lon.

Protestor Beaten on Live TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z20Jgzz464

I guess peacefully protesting after curfew is reason to be swarmed by four guys in riot gear, hit with an assault shield, and mysteriously disappears in seconds - did they forget to read his rights? Oops. Guess he'll get off on a technicality. Unless he randomly dies in police custody.

So after some time of having the feature what does everyone think? Personally I think games fill faster but it seems that more games have NMR than before. I think this is an unfortunate side effect of the upgrade.

Fleet travel through enemy waters
Can a fleet move from Belgium to Holland if another country's fleet occupies the North Sea? The fleet obviously cannot travel by land between the two areas and therefore must leave the harbors in Belgium (entering the North Sea waters) follow the coastline, and enter the Holland harbors (leave the N Sea waters).

Single defense against double assault?
What happens when a defender moves against a support unit attacking his own position? Troop A: land A -> land C; Troop B: land B -> land A; Troop C: land C support land B -> land A (can attack land A); Troop D: land D support hold land A.

Does Troop C support move hold against Troop A?
Does Troop D's support hold apply to a unit (Troop A) with move orders?

Direct clash or pass straight through on opposing moves?
What happens when movement orders occur against each other? Troop A moves from land A to land B and Troop B from land B moves to land A. To make this interesting if they bounce, let's say that Troop C from land C can attack land A and supports the move to land A from land B. All three troops are from different nations.
