An Apology to All I Have Troubled
Hey everyone it's me Zezima or Sniffy whichever you prefer... or don't prefer. The past couple days I have caused a lot of havoc here in the forums for my metagaming. I've come to say to all of you that I am sorry for what I have done. Right or Wrong it is not acceptable in this community and I will no longer metagame. I can only hope the community will accept my apology and maybe even forgive me for what I have done.

Sincerely,
Zezima

Unit Retreat question
If, for instance i had a fleet in the Gulf of Lyon and another on the South Coast of Spain which i then supported into the West Med, from the Gulf, would the enemy fleet that is already in the West Med be given the option of retreating to the Mid Atlantic?

The enemy fleet is from an Eastern nation and i am a Western power, if that makes any difference..

No, because I wouldn't be making a pregame alliance. I would be making a crossgame enemy, which is metagaming but not nearly as offensive as pregame alliances.

And you seem to think the "all's fair in love and war" applies, so I'm just declaring my intent to destroy you if I ever find you in one of my games.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
31 May 09 UTC
So, sniffy, even when somebody attacks you you shouldn't defend yourself?

Everyone plays this game to enjoy it, and you make the game unenjoyable for everyone else by removing the crucial part of it- diplomacy!

Lmao @ Draugnar. Go for it! Your not doing anything against the rules so I dont care.

@ Ghostmaker. I still play the diplomacy part of diplomacy. I still have to discuss tactics with the one I am playing with and other players as well.

sniffy, why don't you feel the need to meta-game any more? maybe more importantly, why did you feel the need to meta-game in the first place? because you like to play with friends is not an answer. that alone is ok. what i'm asking is why you feel/felt the need to enter games with pre-set alliances.

Why? Because it felt so awesome :D Me and my friend Bryce got into this site and we just had a goal to dominate every game that we played in and we were going to do it together. It's an awesome feeling trust me. And then we were accused of being multis with eachother :P so we finished up our games we were playing and then quit Phpdiplomacy for a few months and then we got back into it and decided to play together again.

i appreciate your honesty although i disagree with your thought process. you're cheating yourself of the opportunity to succeed on your own. nothing i say is going to change things, so good luck with that.

I never wanted to succeed on my own though so i was cheating myself out of nothing.
Centurian (3257 D)
31 May 09 UTC
Sniffy, what about the people who didn't come in with a friend? Do you feel at all bad that they are screwed from the start?

What if you and Bryce came across a group of 5 friends that intended to "dominate" every game. Would that be fun for you? Would it be fair?

by not wanting to succeed on your own, you're cheating yourself. like i said, it's a thought process thing.

so you're quitting your games until the heat is off, then you'll be back to meta again?

Diplomacy is not discussing tactics. You might as well have given each other your passwords and let the better tactician do it for you.

If that is his multi I'm actually really really disappointed. The mods were this close to setting a meta precedent.

Yup I asked to make one to stay away from harrasment. Now I accidently gave it away... my bad.
Zezima (100 D)

I don't use Sniffy anymore for games. Just to reply in the forums.
Just out of curiousity, as long as a mod is reading this thread.

Zezima is playing in one game and one only, and also in that game is the next sequential user ID. May want to check that out.

To avoid meta-gaming, is there a case for removing the names of players from the games they are involved in? perhaps you could just leave the score , shich changes regularly anyway as a guide to your contestants abilities?

I've seen this theory that suggests that in the EFG and ART triangles there are coutries which are counterparts of each other (namely E-T F-R and G-A) such that they do well with each other and also have similar playing styles. What does your own experience show about this?

Submariner is untrustworthy and cannot read.
He turned on me in one game, then I got stuck in 2 more with him. He contacted me in both games to make an alliance again. I pointed out we are allies in 2 games so it could work our well, and he accused me of meta gaming.
