The Ancient Med - not year 1

What year is the Ancient Mediterranean set? Definitely not year 1AD, by then the Med was a Roman Lake. Carthage was destroyed in 146BC, Egypt fell to Rome in 47BC, Greece had been Roman for centuries. Only Persia can claim some independence on that map.

I'm 5 years old and about to play my 100th game! I would like to invite friends, new and old, to play. To be eligible, I'd ask you make a donation to the site (of any amount). WTA 36 Hours non-anon. Express your interest below. And, of course, thanks to Kestas, the mods, and the peanut gallery for making this the best site on the Internet.

Looks like there was an NMR in gameID=104129.

Tasnica (3366 )
09 Jan 13 UTC

And another NMR in this game: gameID=104130.

Tasnica (3366 )
11 Jan 13 UTC

And another NMR in gameID=104125.

As you can see, I'm quite terrible at noticing these _before_ they happen.

dubmdell (556 )
11 Jan 13 UTC

In gameID=104130 at least, it looks like the player input a retreat order, so I can only presume they're returned.

If anyone is NMRing due to RL, feel free to email the mods or PM me to explain the situation (no overly detailed explanation necessary). We can try to work out a pause, a sitter, or what have you.

Also, saving orders is fine if you need the time. I've done that on a few games, as I am sure others have as well. No hard feelings about saves over readies, especially if it prevents an NMR.

Tasnica (3366 )
11 Jan 13 UTC

Indeed, I would much prefer people saving orders at the first opportunity and leaving them than to NMR.

Tasnica (3366 )
12 Jan 13 UTC

Possible upcoming NMR (2 hours) in gameID=104122.

LakersFan (899 )
12 Jan 13 UTC

gameID=104126 possible upcoming NMR's (four hour out still, but three players).

LakersFan (899 )
12 Jan 13 UTC

The two paused games could be Unpaused now, there are moves for everyone now. Thanks!

dubmdell (556 )
13 Jan 13 UTC

Guys, stop NMRing! You signed up for this tournament, you knew what you were getting into. It isn't hard to sit down for fifteen minutes every day or two and put in moves. Saved orders are fine, you don't even have to ready them up. Just please stop NMRing.

Tasnica (3366 )

Yeah, I've noticed at least two today, one from a nation that had NMRed within the past week! Whoever is Ghana in gameID=104130, get your act together.

Actually, at two centers, don't even worry about the SA in gameID=104134. It goes against the agreed to NMR policy. He's not >4 centers.

Draws

Sifting through 10 pages of open positions, I am noticing that it's increasingly uncommon that people actually draw for a CD. In a few games, people have pushed for it, and others have seemed to have no understanding as to why they'd draw for a CD. Did this etiquette just disappear like magic? Pre-1903 CDs should *always* constitute a draw and post-1903 CDs should constitute a draw if they result in a loss of a line that would otherwise be present. When did this stop?
