Are there any other thespians on the site? Lovers of the stage, or perhaps actors or actresses? Directors, choreographers, stage crew, or technical crew?

to admin: orders glitch
Hello, in 'This is why I have no money' -- I (Turkey) ordered 2 retreats; RUM to Bulgaria; BUD to Serbia, and the orders received were both to SERBIA, so both units were disbanded. Is this just something I have to deal with or is there any rectification?

New person question
How do I get the orders option to show up on a turn. Game says its in the retreat phase but I can't put orders in and the deadline keeps getting closer. Already missed 1 turn because of this.

Western Triangle vs Eastern Square?
Lets talk about Strategy...

I'm mostly going to reject the notion of two separate areas of conflict, and instead focus on four overlapping areas.

Great map joke
I'm currently playing on the "Fall of the American Empire" map for the first time, and I love that the Bermuda Triangle is shaped like a triangle. It's also fun that so many of the US states retain their actual shapes. Well done, Mous and Jensen.

#SANDBAGwebDip
Here's a way to counter the trust issue, ghug - only give mods slots to play for WebDip.

We're the best players on the site anyways /s
@goldie: Is that why peterwiggin was made a mod?
This sounds awesome. How many players can the tournament accommodate?

And are we looking at starting the week of Apr 6? I'm asking because the week of Apr 6 is going to be possibly the busiest week of my life at work for about six months, but I'll have the ability to put thought into games that start the following week way more easily.
@Vashta - yup. Why more people haven't gotten that, I don't know. We just wanted to add him to mod-only games.

Yeah, forget about defending the site, they just want Zultar to play a game!
ghug (5068 D(B))

The format is flexible, so the number of players is too.

There's no hard start date yet. I'd recommend just signing up, and if there is a problem you can put off joining your game for a couple days or request an initial pause.

Going to wait until a little closer to cut-off and see how full my plate is at the time. We get a good enough cast i may just jump in regardless of how overloaded i am.

VI, whether or not the stance of only playing based on who else is being warranted or not in general, the point of the tournament, and explicitly in the seeding of games, is to play with people you haven't met before, so only playing if you know they're good already seems counterproductive in both spirit and practice.

"so only playing if you know they're good already seems counterproductive in both spirit and practice."

The same can be said of playing only with people you know to be bad.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
23 Mar 15 UTC
Not untrue at all of course abge. Not as relevant though as I was referring to a very specific statement.

"We get a *good* enough cast", my emphasis added
VillageIdiot (7813 D)
23 Mar 15 UTC
Why would being motivated to join a tournament by seeing that the if it's attracted top players from other sites be considered counter-productive in spirit?

Most sites have some kind of ranking system so it's not that hard to get a feel for the level of competition the tournament is getting and also good to know it's not going to ultimately end up being mostly WebDip players with only a handful of visitors sprinkled in. Not everybody is going to want to play on foreign territory and i don't want to join a game with good intentions but ultimately has all the same faces.

(I've also played a lot of the PlayDip crowd already as well)

There's no minimum mitoman. Just like there's no low some members of the site won't stoop to protect their precious numbers.

There's no minimum. I'll cut unreliable people out, and I'll make sure signups aren't cheating, but that's it.

Tournament Games and Wait for Orders
So. I have competed in several tournaments over the last few weeks, including League, 10-man and 5-man tournaments. Why aren't all tournament games automatically set to prevent NMRs and allowing swap outs so that the strategic balance is not upset?

Have you ever hear russian metal groups? For example, "Aria" (russ. "Ария"), "Epidemy" (russ. "Эпидемия"), "Black Obelisk" (russ. "Чёрный Обелиск"). If you have, what do you think about them? Has Russia presentable metal or no?
