Anyone ever player Dip for real money?
Just curious. I play poker at the casinos an online all the time. I've also had small pot Dip home games, but the pot usually went to buy the pizza and beer when it was all said and done.

Supporting hold
I've noticed that very often two adjacent units will support into each others territories. The rules state that "A unit not ordered to move can be supported by a support order that only mentions its province". This seems to suggest that two adjacent allied units can both support the others hold, giving two provinces defending with a strength of two (barring support being cut).

Is this how it works?

How long do you hold a stalemate?
Curly's thread got me thinking. When you reach a stalemate position, how long do you normally hold it before moving on?
Although obviously each case is different, and it depends what sort of responses you're getting from the other players, personally I'd say that 3 years with no progress makes it time to think about drawing...

I have this problem where when I try to do orders, message, or even go into any of my games, my internet just freezes up. This has only started happening recently and no other website does this. Any thoughts?

What are the consequences of Civil Disorder
One someone is in Civil Disorder, what happens?

Can they still issue orders if they return?
Does the game wait until the full phase ends to see if they do enter orders or are they assumed to have finalized holds as soon as the phase opened?

Need a 7th for Star Sign Wars. Somebody got booted from the game for multi-accounting. It'd be a shame to have Turkey controlled by a bot, because Russia isn't paying much attention, either... sound tempting?

Dear Kesta, this game is a victim of the previous bug. The Unit placing round of 1905 is skipped, and everything is skewed afterwards.

The Three Swordsmen

Once the Shogun gave a reception to honor the best swordsmen in Japan. All the top samurai were in attendance along with Court nobles and beautiful geisha. A geisha approached the third highest ranked swordsmen and asked; "Sir, can you demonstrate your sword skills for me?" At once, the samurai drew his sword a cut a hovering fly in half. "Very impressive", said the geisha. When she saw the samurai who was the second highest ranked swordsmen in Japan she asked him the same question. He immediately drew his sword and cut two pesky flys in half. "Most impressive", said the geisha. Then she spotted the samurai that was the highest ranked swordsmen in all of Japan. "Honorable Sir", she said "would you be so kind as to demonstrate your sword skill for me?". The samurai drew his sword and cut into the air in the direction of a nearby fly, but the fly buzzed away. "Oh, so sorry you missed", said the geisha. "But I didn't miss", said the samurai humbly "that fly will have no offspring."

Two guys are outside a bar with their dogs when the first guy says, "Let's go in and have a drink".

The second guy says, "You know they won't let us in with our dogs."

The first guy says, "Just do what I do and we'll get in".

The first guy puts on sunglasses and starts into the bar. The bouncer sees him and yells out "Hey buddy, no pets allowed in this bar!".

The first guy replies, "Sir, I am blind and this is my seeing eye dog."

The bouncer, feeling really bad, says "Oh, I'm really sorry. Go on in and have a seat."

The second guy puts on sunglasses and goes into the bar. The bouncer sees him and shouts out, "No dogs allowed in here."

The second guy replies, "I'm blind and this is my seeing eye dog."

The bouncer says, "Give me a break! Your dog is a Chihuahua!" to which second guy repies, "What! You mean they gave me a Chihuahua!?"

They're still laughing about this at IBM. Apparently the computer giant decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept three defective parts per 10,000 .

When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. "We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment. Hope this pleases you."

I hope these should not be all related to swords? :)
Here's an old one - some fun facts:

If you fart non-stop for 7 years you'll generate the energy of a tactical nuclear weapon (do Al-Queda know this?)

Pigs experince orgasm for 30 minutes (I want to be a pig in my next life!)

A cockroach can live 9 days after losing its head, before starving to death (Creepy! Still like the pig better.)

The male Praying Mantis can only have sex if its head is taken off. So, the female first rips the male's head off (Honey, I'm home ... WTF???)

A flee can jump 350 times its own lenght. For humans it will be like jumping over a stadium. (30 minutes ... lucky pig ... who needs to jump so much)

The Seacat has over 27000 taste receptors. (What is there to taste at the bottom of the sea?)

Lions can have sex up to 50 times a day (Hmm, still sticking with the pig. Quality over quantity)

Elephants are the only land animals that cannot jump (Maybe it's for the better this way?)

Cat urine glows when exposed to black light (Who paid for this research?)

The eye of an ostridge is bigger than his brain (I know people who are like that.)

Starfish (sea stars) have no brain at all (I know people like that also)

People and dolphins are the only species who have sex for fun (What happened with pig???)

"The male Praying Mantis can only have sex if its head is taken off. So, the female first rips the male's head off"

I wonder, can the mantis have sexual intercourse multiple times after the head-ripping? Or is it a one-time deal?

Either way, what a raw deal :P
