So a while ago a couple of threads were started about this. Do we remember if this was considered cheating or not?

Player needed for public press and gunboat games
I haven't been able to get a hold of King Rishard so, if he doesn't show, I'm going to need a player or two to cover a public press and gunboat game. Let me know if anyone's interested.

Vive la France!
It is a rare day that I say anything good about France, but every now and then they do something worthy of note. The French government has unveiled its budget and, instead of slashing public spending, they're focusing on raising taxes on the the wealthy and businesses!

15 Day Phases
Yes, I know a number of games have been changed to 15 day phases; please don't email us about it. I've contacted kestas to see if he can simply revert the database; otherwise I'll fix them by hand tomorrow when I wake up. On the off chance kestas can't fix it, can you please post here with the gameID and the correct phase length. Thanks.

CD'ing
I've never missed a turn or CD'ed so I don't know what happens. When someone goes CD does the game still show up on their home page or does it disappear and they'd have to go find it again? I know we are forced to look at the defeated games until they are over.

Gingers
A while back in one of the forum posts I made what I thought a harmless joke when I repeated the (to me) ridiculous saying, "At least we're not gingers." When that put a damper on the conversation, I began to wonder if I had actually offended someone, if people thought I was serious. Then tonight I found an entry on the bbc news online that cleared things up for me.

I've never had a candidate for anything personally come to my door before
A candidate for State Representative (not a lofty position, but still significant) personally stopped by my house and every house in the neighborhood to try to convince us to vote for her. I've never seen an actual candidate for anything do that before. Is this kind of personal canvassing widespread, or is it just this candidate?

Plagiarism
No wonder today's young folk think they can just get away with stealing someone else's ideas, words, and efforts. Even at high levels of the public sphere, plagiarism persists. What an incorrigible individual.

The same reason why italy was attacking austria. at the very same time.
cspieker (18223 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
Ah nevermind. Maybe it wasn't so clear at that point. Germany had just begun his attack on France. Please delete the previous comment from your mind! :-|
cspieker (18223 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
I only moved into Greece because Austria had more SC's than units, and he was clearly not going to be able to build any more. I was able to build a crucial army in Rome with that. Then I was able to support you into Bulgaria so we could get an army in there instead of a worthless fleet on the south coast.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
I was attacking because if I help him, and you guys stop germany then you easily eliminate me later. Austria was my enemy, no matter what's the position on the rest of the map. As he was the enemy of russia, who gave sevastopol to Germany.
Why the heck would I hold sevastopol, when germany had only 12SCs, with a strong france to face.

I was a 3SC country facing a later elimination if I help you guys.

This is ridiculous, why dont you blame me for opening to black sea?!?! I would gladly play this game forward

@cspieker: I think you are desperately trying to blame me and I don't get why. I got back 1SC from turkey and I lost 1 (serbia) My balance is zero, who the fucking heck lost the other 14SCs???? Was it meee tooo? Ridiculous! It's like blaming 1 player in a basketball team for missing the last throw, and no-one blames the other 4 players and how they played through 47 minutes 50 secs. The fucking team created the position in which the last player made a very similar mistake as the others had made many during the whole game.

fuck off cspieker, really, there was 3 other players defending the territories, none of them performed well, and you blame only me. wake up! Who the fuck played the first 10 years which led germany to my door??!?!?!
cspieker (18223 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
Ha ha. I guess you didn't believe me when I took back that last comment. Fair enough. Always enough blame to go around. I'll tell you though, I was certainly surprised to see it was you who was controlling Turkey.
cspieker (18223 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
And to end my comments here with something positive. Looking back on this game with all the comment going on, I did notice a particularly brilliant move by Germany that basically broke France and broke the game open, when he convoyed an army to Clyde. I think that sealed the deal there. Well done.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
Sometimes I play terribly, especially in games which I don't perform well. I was playing Nina Dobrev (gameID=98871) also I'm playing (gameID=93866) and usually I take care those game more, where I perform well. LONE WOLF is actually the smallest pot amongst these :)

And about me playing Turkey, I think I had a solid plan how to save your asses, sadly Austria didn't get it. But I think it's not my fault. As it isn't your fault I didn't move my fleet to help you build a western stalemate line.

I had a plan to get back rumania, I couldn't make it. That's all, not a big deal I think. Just because you don't see a plan, or you don't understand it, it doesn't mean it's a wrong plan. Just think how many scientist were burned by inquistion, just because they didn;t understand what those scientists did.

They made fun of Peter Higgs for years, almost decades and invited him to laugh at his theory, because even the great physicists didn't understand him. This year he might get a Nobel prize.

So just because you think a plan, or someone's behaviour is stupid, it doesn't mean he's not right. I have soloed 5 wta games over 1000 D, I drew all my 7000pot games, I think I proved I have some understanding of this game. I don't know anyone on this site who has the same record. So before you start blaming me, I suggest show some respect to someone who has proven far more in games than you did. Even in that case if you were right.
cspieker, I can tell you that I shit my fancy French pants when that army convoyed to Clyde...

I was waiting for the "fuck you noobs, I got 20k points" from rokakoma, and there it is. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
where exactly did I write anything, which says any of you were noob?
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
@Zmaj: I think you really misunderstood something here. I wasn;t blaming you, I didn;t understand 1, only ONE move of yours, out of the 20 moves you made. I didn't say you are a noob, I said I was expecting a different move!

Also, I didn't say my plan was any better, all I said it was a different plan, and while I wanted to execute mine, cspieker wanted his. Naturally both couldn't be executed.

But where the fucking hell did I said you are noobs? Or where the fucking hell did I offended any of you. Just because I have a lot of points, and just because I'm quite a good gunboater on this site, doesn't mean you should insult me with accusing me calling you noobs, because I didn't!

I simply didn't beleive France can hold off germany (in which I was right) so I made a plan which adopt to the future situation where France doesn;'t survive.

But please don't accuse me of calling any of you noobs, because I didn't. I said "fuck you", but the word noobs wasn't there. And I say fuck you Zmaj, because you are accusing me with something I didn't say.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
All I asked is some respect, which neither of you gives me, instead you blame me, I defend myself, I express my views, and then you accuse me finally with something, because you can't confute my explonation.

I didn't insulted you, you guys insult me I say fuck off and leave me alone, and I'm the bad guy here?!?! wake up! I'm giving you guys the respect, which I don't get and just because I'm probably a better player you attack me in the Forum? Seriously?
Zmaj (215 D(B))

"So before you start blaming me, I suggest show some respect to someone who has proven far more in games than you did. Even in that case if you were right." Or, to put it shorter, "fuck you noob, I got 20k points" :D
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
You put it, I checked cspieker's stat before, and clearly, he's not in the position to lecture me on high pot games.

All that said, just because your assesment of that comment is this, it's doesn't mean I said that. I said I deserved some respect as a player, and before I'm getting accused and blamed I deserve at least to be asked, why I did what I did. I didn't blamed you, i fucking ASKED YOU, why you didn't take budapest, I expressed I was surprised you didn't do that, but I didn't blame you.

And what do I get in exchange? "Turkey, you gave the 18th SC to Germany, it's all your fault" Seriously? Without asking, "turkey, what was your plan".

I think after winning all those high pot games you guys should ask me what I think, instead of blaming me. SplitDiplomat might lecture me, also I would take it from Barn3tt or CSteinhardt, but not from you. But I didn't call you noobs! That's your understanding only. I called you disrespectful, and let's face it, you are.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
28 Sep 12 UTC
I got a news flash for you, rokakoma: you don't get more respect with more points. Just ask SplitDiplomat. I hope I haven't destroyed your world with this information.
rokakoma (19138 D)

I have a news flash for you. I do get, just not from assholes like you.

SplitDiplomat??!! Hello, love, I thought you had me on mute. I'm glad we're buddies again.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
I'm not looking for personal respect here. What I'm speaking of if someone has a shitload of points then he deserves to be asked about the game before he gets blamed. Just because he might have a better understanding of the game.

I don't care whether you respect me in the forum or not, but simply blaming me how I play by players who have far less understanding of the game is just ridiculous. It like I start blaming Kasparov now because he played stupid according to me.
I am devastated knowing jmo doesn't repect me.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
28 Sep 12 UTC
rokakoma, can I call you Kasparov?
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
@Zmaj: you can call me whatever you want, I don't expect too much from you.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
@split, my comment was at rokakoma, but you are right, I don't

@rokakoma, you insulted cspieker, called him an inferior player, and then requested his respect. I'm sure you can see why that isn't going to work. Pretty sure he was just trying to have a discussion about the play in the game, not actually blame anyone. And to be clear, I didn't say I don't respect you, I just don't respect you because of your points. I respect other players for the reasons I listed before, all 3 equally.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
We had pretty long discussions with cspieker in PM after. we spoke over the game, just not in this thread. I insulted him, because he started blaming me.
rokakoma (19138 D)
28 Sep 12 UTC
And I repeat, I'm not expecting respect personally, I expect to respect my knowledge of playing, my results, my rating. And blaming me for losing a game, without understanding why I did what I did, without asking, without trying to learn is all but respecting my knowledge. I don't care what you call me, how you insult me, but questioning my ability to play, by someone who is hardly as qualified, barely having same result, is a bit over the line.
" I was convinced Germany had the solo after Spring 09 when Russia handed him Sev before everyone else was ready for it. "

I feel bad for roka, although I did usse my dying support to give him his life back (you're welcome, roka). Personally, I thought that I and A forced T and myself into a corner and mae us ally, they then never gave us an opportuntity to change anything, even when Germany was storming at me. I was going down, so at least I got something out of it ;-) Thanks for playing, all.
I also meant to say "exactly" to the quoted passage from jmo. This is what I intended, I am happy he recognized it.
cspieker (18223 D)
29 Sep 12 UTC
Are you talking about the support that knocked me out of Constantinople. That was a killer for me. Quite a selfless act on your part! GG
Not exactly selfless, on my way out I look for whatever victories I can, and helping my only ally regain his homeland was one. I was really happy with that move. Sorry ;-)

The next 100 questions
I will provide a scenario to you all, and then ask you a question. You may all ask as many questions as you want to get to the answer to my question, but I'll only answer "yes," "no," or "it doesn't matter." If you already know the answer, please don't spoil it for the others. This is a group activity so read what others have asked and work together (in my experience, 2 people solve it much more quickly than 1, and a group of 4 usually gets it in 20-30 min. of so).
