Can you actually solo without someone throwing the game?
I recently got my first solo in a non-live, full-press WTA game since 2010, but only because one player decided to throw me the game. Even at 17 centers, I could still have been stopped if everyone else worked together. This got me wondering: are there examples if high-quality games where somebody got a solo without being thrown one?

World Map Question
Question about the RIS squares on the board.

In the lower left-hand corner of the map - it that land, water, or both? Looking on the lower right-hand of the map, there appears to be an RIS land but also an RIS water. Which is it and do either of those territories directly link to the two squares in the lower left-hand side of the map?

Jun 2015 GR Challenge - Game 1 EOGs
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=163864
Result: Two-way draw between England and Turkey (my first two-way draw!)

This was honestly a pretty cut-and-dry game for me. I can almost never say, but aside from small details, I wasn’t really once surprised by anything that happened in this game. I had fun, though, mostly because Austria-Turkey and England-Turkey are both fun alliances. EOG below.

Reliability Ratings and drop outs
We all have games where players losing drop out, but there are some which get utterly ruined by guys in pivotal positions going AWOL. Is it time that players who are proven unreliable have to sit out for a period?

I have played 50+ games on the World Diplomacy variant, but I have not soloed. Honestly, it seems like you can see a powerhouse coming so far back, it is impossible to not get faced with a stalemate line!

EXACTLY when does a game end?
In my set of rules, rule XIII indicates that possession of a SC only occurs after fall retreats have been completed. On this site, it seems that for purposes of determining a solo victory, a victory is declared following the fall diplomacy phase prior to retreats. For clarification: on a fall turn that great power A takes its 18th SC but great power B could then retreat into into one of country A's SCs, is country A awarded a win prior to that fall's retreats? Thank you.

Returning after a four year break...
... as an old adversary messaged me offline and I decided to succumb to temptation. I was wondering if any of those former combatants, or indeed anyone else, fancied a classic map, slow turn (probably 48 hour), press intensive game to get me back up to speed.

Valis - yes, I'm old school, played with some of the very best - Rait, Abgemacht, Flashman, MarekP, sean and co, and I didn't do too badly. Few probably know who they are now, but they were good times.

Ssorenn/Ogion - good to have you onboard as doing a quick trawl through the profiles of some my old adversaries it looks like they haven't logged in for some time as well.

Idea is to have a good quality game, lots of press, pleasant chat (as far as possible), with no NMRs/CDs.

@ssorenn - some mods are just like level bosses and only come out when worthy challengers appear. jmo and zultar only don't play because they doesn't deem us worthy.

@PW - yup, that's about it. Woe unto the board if I draw England.

I mean I am confident I could win this simply by not posting any press and hitting save every turn for actual years on end. I am pretty confident that you'll all lose interest in this site before I will. So if that sounds like an appealing challenge...

Well well, jmo. If you're so confident you can win this game, I invite you to prove your worth and put your money where your mouth is. I wouldn't expect you to back out of a challenge, after all.
