URGENT REPLACEMENT NEEDED
Would anyone be willing to take over the Germany in this game: gameID=169332

If so, the mods will let you take it over before the end of the retreats phase. Would be much appreciated.

Non-specific game advice
I am in a game between 4 powers. One of the powers (in the middle of the board) has NMRed several times (he did write in the global chat but did not submit moves), and all the remaining powers benefit from it (some more, some less). Should we vote for a draw, or each one should try to go for a solo?

When's the cutoff?
On the Ghost Rating website, it says that "The Ghost-Rating list filters out games where the game ends before Autumn 1903."
So, a game ending immediately after builds of '03 would count for GR?
Would a game ending during Diplomacy of Autumn '03 count for GR?

'War' in Syria?
"The point, of course, is that the West had grown so used to attacking Arab lands - France had become so inured to sending its soldiers and air crews to Africa and the Middle East to shoot and bomb those whom it regarded as its enemies - that only when Muslims began attacking Western capital cities did we suddenly announce that we were "at war"."

Did Soldiers Really Die for my Freedom?
Last week was Remembrance Day, and aside from the self-righteous pomp and circumstance that usually accompanies the event, I was also subjected to hearing about why I should care about the "sacrifice" of others. Apparently soldiers died for my freedom.

NHL All-Star Game
So the NHL has announced a 3-on-3 format for the All-Star Game this season. I believe this format devalues defensemen in that, in a 3-on-3 match, both sides will field a center and 2 wingers to increase scoring chances at the cost of solid defensive play. The NHL has a long history of great defensemen, so I don't believe it is fair to devalue them by devaluing their usefulness in the All-Sta Game (ergo, less All-Star appearances for defensemen versus scorers).
Thoughts?

turkey needed for gunboat
Well apparently some players in a game entitled to encourage a lack of CDs want to play on with a banned player, so we need a replacement turkey. The position is more decent if you consider the necessary allegiances in place given the position. It'd be a fun challenge to make something of this and far from impossible.

@DL I have made up my mind. It is better that we get intel on what the Mafia are thinking in their NKs, something I don't see discussed often enough. I would rather we pick a lynch target, analyze who votes where, and then analyze who was NKed and who they interacted with. That, in my mind, gives us more information about who is invading us right now, and information afterall wins the war.

@DL depends on what you are reading as buddy-y.

@ND: No, I'm here, I'm participating, I'm not pulling an anchor-and-leave. I'm just saying I may not be as dominant in the Day 1 discussion as I usually am, and I did declare this in the signup thread. Your quick desire to suggest that I'm anchoring, before any timely evidence to suggest that I have done so, is disappointing.
wjessop (100 DX)
03 Nov 15 UTC
With both BloodWolf99697 and Vecna as our new recruits to playing mafia here on webdiplomacy, it may be worthwhile for them to discuss the 2 power roles at play in this game.

For clarity, it should be clear that the cop should not be claiming probably until at least Day 3 or 4, when they have a reliable set of scans; depending on how the lynches progress.
ND (879 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@Espi: "@DL depends on what you are reading as buddy-y."

Can you explain your most recent post to me?\

And several of your others such as declaring a player who hasn't posted yet as leader seems kind of suspect to me. I understand yoyo was instrumental in M11 in starting the process to me finding Bo and Lucland that game is done and it's history. This is a new game. Although I would like to see what DL caught as well, because there may be more that I am missing at the moment.
ND (879 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@Wjessop: Okay. What do you mean the "2 PR" roles. There is only one town PR.
Espi (338 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@ND are you referring to the my having made up my mind post, or was it the one above that talking about the earlier post I made and thanking you for jump-starting the real posting?
ND (879 D)

@Espi: The most recent to me apart from this.
wjessop (100 DX)

@ND: The Godfather is a Power Role -- and it seems important, at least to me, that Vecna and BloodWolf99697 are aware that the Cop will not get a guilty scan from the Godfather, 1/3 of the mafia team, while this role is in play.

Why do you not think this is important to make explicit for our newcomers?
ND (879 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@Wjessop: You said two PR's. I was trying to see what you were referring too. Because from the stated roles in the game start post I only saw one PR and two mafia roles.
Espi (338 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@ND I complimented you in that post for getting straight to the point and launching the investigation into scum, I clarified that the Yoyo statement I made was a joke in reference to what DL had been joking about, and I thanked you for explaining your thoughts on the pros and cons of fake claiming, something I was struggling to explain well enough. What about that wasn't obvious?
wjessop (100 DX)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@ND: That doesn't really answer my question though -- do you think it's important for us to discuss the roles of this game for the benefit of new players Vecna and BloodWolf99697? Yes or no? And if no, why not?
Espi (338 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@wjessop wasn't vecna in earlier games? I could have sworn he was but I could be wrong.
ND (879 D)
03 Nov 15 UTC
@Espi: That kind of seemed like buddying to me. That's why I asked you to clarify. Thank you for your clarification.

@Wjessop: Do I think it's important for the town to discuss the godfather? I don't see how that could be helpful. Let me get this straight you want us to discuss the mafia role (godfather) for the new players? It may be important to discuss the one town PR role which DL has started and I have answered with my initial thoughts.
Espi (338 D)

@ND ahh gotcha. I am trying to be very nice and friendly right now, early game so I might as well. We are stuck here for a while and I find it a good way to judge a mans character. Don't expect it to last though.

03 Nov 15 UTC
@ND: Why are you not able to answer the question I set you with a simple yes or no? I answer your questions quite straightforwardly. It seems like you're being wilfully obfuscative and quarrelsome.

As for the powers in this game, yes, of course I think it's helpful for new players to understand how these roles interact with each other. I'm surprised you don't.

@Espi: You're wrong. What's more, this is something you could have easily checked yourself before opening your mouth -- the links to all previous games are in the first post of this thread. This is Vecna's first mafia game on webdiplomacy.

Please don't spout rubbish.

@Wjessop: Again I told you "I don't see how that could be helpful" does that seem like a yes to you? And no you haven't answered my question. So I'll repeat my question:

1) "Let me get this straight you want us to discuss the mafia role (godfather) for the new players?"
wjessop (100 DX)
04 Nov 15 UTC
@ND: I'll repeat my answer to that question: "As for the powers in this game, yes, of course I think it's helpful for new players to understand how these roles interact with each other. I'm surprised you don't."

This answer was quite clear. You're being weird.
ND (879 D)
04 Nov 15 UTC
Okay thank you for the answer.
Espi (338 D)
04 Nov 15 UTC
@wjessop my apologies, perhaps I was just thinking of the signup sheet for the next game. Also, although I would be one of the first to joyfully lynch ND, we don't have enough information yet to just think that how he is acting is scum indicative. Someone could say how you or I are acting is also scum indicative. Let actions speak.
wjessop (100 DX)
04 Nov 15 UTC
"Okay thank you for the answer. "

@ND: It was an answer I had already provided.

Can you explain why you were being weird and ignored it the first time?
It's weirder that you would now thank me for this answer and seem satisfied by it, after my vote on you, when you originally wanted to ignore what I had said.
wjessop (100 DX)
04 Nov 15 UTC
@Espi: I don't joyfully lynch anyone, you shouldn't either. While votes are an important tool for town, lynches need to be careful and considered.

ND's actions so far are speaking quite loudly.
wjessop (100 DX)
04 Nov 15 UTC
@ND

Is there a reason you have not challenged captainmeme yet for his anchor post??

You immediately pounced on me for what you wanted to label an anchor post -- but you haven't bothered to follow-up on captainmeme. Why?
ND (879 D)
04 Nov 15 UTC
@Wjessop: I was hoping for greater clarification as to why you thought discussing mafia roles was useful to the town. You decided to quote a reply from earlier in the thread. I have noted it.

I don't agree that I was being weird. That is subjective to you. I answered your question at least twice.
