Webdiplomacy interface preventing legal move to Sevastapol from Armenia via land.
In a game I am currently in, the web diplomacy interface is not allowing me to order a Turkish Army to move via land into Sevastapol. When I try to select this order it states, "viaConvoy parameter set to invalid value No" Is this a known error? While I know that it would be unreasonable for me to expect an immediate fix for this error, I would greatly appreciate it if
I've tried to save/ready orders from IE8, Firefox, and Chrome on my windows 7 machine (from which up until now I've been able to) and the page just seems to hang even if I leave it for ~5 mins. Same result from Firefox and Chrome on my Ubuntu machine.Obviously I can post messages so I don't know what's going on...Anybody have ideas to help?
I have often wanted to play live, but not at such a frantic pace as five minute turns. Doesn't leave much time for diplomacy. I wonder if there are others who would like to "play live" for a couple hours and then finish up on a 12 hour or 24 hour schedule. Has anyone suggested that before? Is there a list of players somewhere who are interested in such an arrangement?
Hey world. I'm throwing this up here to open up discussion between the members of the game 150, where we considered starting up a set of live games. I'll PM you all soon to suggest you wander over here.
What's the procedure for requesting a multi-accounting check? Please take a look at Game ID 49803. France is going to win. I'd just like to make sure that it was a fair win given that Italy supported him throughout the entire game. Thank you.
A fascist vs Socialist arguement transformed into whether a government can be more successful when large or when small. to slow down the speed of the FvS here is the thread to continue that discussion.
I think the most important aspect for the future of the world in general here is that the chief justification for America's aggressive foreign policy over the last 9.5 years is now off the table. It will be interesting to see if there are any changes in American diplo-military activities, and/or a call domestically for withdrawal from Afghanistan now that Obama is going to unfurl a great big "Mission Accomplished" banner.
Yeah Goldfinger, go out and celebrate. In 30 years you'd be telling your children about it, but you're not going to be telling them about the good grade you got on that final the next day.
great, so we hunt down every last one of them? While we're at it i have an idea to fight rising sea levels as well, it involves a shovel and the sea shore. We killed the SOB, best excuse yet to end this.
The 'al-Qaeda' you're thinking of is mostly a phantom created by the US power structure to keep us all terrified and eager to surrender our freedom. At it's height (not counting the '80s), it operated less than a dozen training camps and had less than 1,000 real 'members', nearly all of whom are dead now.
And the Taliban is a bunch of illiterate hill-tribesman who have never even seen America. I'll bet even Mullah Omar couldn't find it on a map. They're pissed that we've been dropping bombs on them for the last ten years, and who wouldn't be? Like a hive of bees, they don't need to be 'dealt with'. They need to be left alone. If the Afghan Mujahadeen did not follow the Soviet Army home when there was just a river separating them, they're certainly not going to follow the US military home over two great big oceans and 7,000 miles.
@Santa, the body needs to be displayed publicly, then turned over to his family. It's the only way to satisfy people like me who won't entirely accept this news on the Dear Leader's say-so.
A local radio host here in SoCal is saying that he should be wrapped in pigskins and buried in Oklahoma, though.
"f the Afghan Mujahadeen did not follow the Soviet Army home when there was just a river separating them, they're certainly not going to follow the US military home over two great big oceans and 7,000 miles."
Not entirely true. There's a strong Afghan-Chechnya connection. The Taliban was the only government to recognize Chechnya as an independent state. Prior to the invasion in 2001, Russia was making a lot of noise about deals being made between OBL, the Taliban, and Chechen fighters.
Sorry Santa, but I'm not 100% buying this until I see a corpse. At least I'm not calling for him to be quartered and have his pieces put on pikes in New York, DC, and rural Pennsylvania as I'm sure many a right-wing pundit will be calling for tomorrow.
The bin Laden family is very respectable and has strong ties with the West. some of Osama's older brothers have done business with the Bush family. None of them (so the news reports go) have had any of contact with OBL since his exile to Sudan, and he's been cast off as a family embarrassment. I really doubt there'd be a 'shit show' unless they were handed someone else's body. Which is the whole reason I'd like to see the body given to them. The bin Ladens are still quite wealthy and dependent upon the House of Sa'ud for their good fortune. Making a scene would cost them everything.
I think we can ALL live with it...and huh, Sisko/Obama? ;)
And...
THE METS WIN...IN 14 INNINGS!
Which really bears no significance, and I'm sure plenty of folks are preparing their anti-baseball jibes now...
But really--is there even LITTLE poetry in the fact that the night the man behind New York's Greatest Nightmare dies, a team from New York wins at New York's game, baseball? (And for all of you who DO remember...the first game AFTER 9/11? Braves/Mets...and the Mets won in extra innings!)
Excuse me while I grin, however foolish the grin may be. :D
At least he was taken out by men with guns rather than a silent missile. He'd have known and had time to fear what was coming for him.
Jumping around the news channels (we have 17 over here) AlJazeera is showing film of a burning building while discussing this. The other news channels don't have it yet.
"Prior to the invasion in 2001, Russia was making a lot of noise about deals being made between OBL, the Taliban, and Chechen fighters."
Right. The Taliban is still at war with the Northern Alliance, has a tenuous grip on the parts of the country they control, and they're going to send precious and limited resources to fight someone else's war a thousand miles away? This story seems to be just a reprint of a Kremlin press release - I'm not inclined to take it too seriously.
"Haha. I can imagine Donald Trump, backed by legions of Ron Paulies, demanding the "death certificate"."
"Sorry, but when you cause 3,000+ people to burn to death in collapsing towers, you forfeit that little right, in my opinion."
What about people who cause 300,000 (or more) to die through starvation, bombs, missile strikes, artillery, 'surgical drone strikes', summary executions, itchy trigger fingers etc., etc.... Should Slick Willy, Dubya, and Obama all be denied decent burials as well?
I'll start by nominating Napolean Bonaparte. Skilled diplomate, ruthless military strategist. Escaped from more than one tight spot and was well liked by people who should have known better and were screwed because of it.
Okay, so far I'm liking it. It does seem to load pages MUCH faster than 3.6.x. And they do claim their new javascript engine is much faster too. I'd be really interested to hear from someone playing a World map game to hear if it does indeed work better for calculating the enumerable convoy routes.
we let this guy named Cod in game. he just doesn't move at all. like he's online in other games but we tell him to move he says i'm gonna sleep etc. can you ban this guy. i don't wanna wait anymore :(
Today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. At 10:00 PM a siren was sound all over Israel, to remember the 6 million Jews that were murdered by Nazis. For those of you who want to learn more about the Jewish Holocaust: http://www.yadvashem.org/
In a game I'm in, I tried to convince a player not to attack me. He responded, "I wouldn't want to but pacific Russia is my friend from school." I told him that's metagaming, and against the rules, but should I report him?

It was my first time voting this year, and I don't feel I was very well informed. I look forward to following the government more closely this time around so I can properly form an opinion. =) What do you guys think? What did you vote, if you'd like to share, and why?
