Can you cut your own support?
Army A is moving to territory X. Army B sits in territory Y and supports move to territory X by Army A. Army C moves to territory Y at Army B. All three armies, A B and C are owned by the same country. Does Army B's support for Army's A move to territory X get cut?

If not, can anyone provide link to a live game example?

i suppose i'm fine with being a bigot towards racists. does that fit your definition? no problems owning that.
leon1122 (190 D)
27 Feb 16 UTC
That does fit the definition. Not "my" definition, mind you. I don't create the dictionary for the world's largest search engine.
ishirkmywork (1401 D)
27 Feb 16 UTC
i just tried this search engine thing that you speak of, and this is the first definition of a bigot that i found: --" a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)"
i am more than happy to apply this definition to the outward expression of the Republican party as a whole right now. It hasn't always been that way, but right now, i think this fits. Especially in regards to Muslims, the LGBT community, and these "poor, low-skilled workers" that you speak of. With all of this in mind, I have decided that they are disqualified from receiving my vote. Perhaps this will change in the future, and I dearly hope it does.

@ ghug
"I think your issue with ishirk's test is more an issue with American politics in general (and other politics too, really) than Democrats specifically"

In all honesty American politics seems to have it far worse than virtually anywhere else, and the Democrats have it in spades. It is possible that it is more obvious in the Democrats because they don't have as many crazy policies to distract you as the Republicans do, but my feel is that the Democrats have it worse. So often when you encounter Democrat propaganda on social media it seems to revolve around the themes of "all Republicans are bigots, shun them" or "all Republicans are stupid, laugh at them". It's extremely depressing.

Having what I'd guess is a larger exposure to such things given that I live here, I see that crap from both sides pretty constantly and it bugs me to no end. I don't think Republicans do it any less than Democrats do.
ishirkmywork (1401 D)
27 Feb 16 UTC
well ghug and octavious, you both must be incredibly enlightened -- i think we can all agree that US politics is a mess (at least nationally -- on a local level it can be a very different, happy story)
however, a lot of this shit transcends continents; http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/27/jean-marie-le-pen-endorses-donald-trump

"I don't see how wanting to keep poor, unskilled laborers out of the country is racist."
So deport all poor, unskilled laborers instead? That's a decent portion of this country.

You mean like an anchor baby?
Also, a number of small towns in the South (especially along the border) depend on those laborers to have functioning economies.
And it's not like many of them even plan on being here very long. All sorts of people talk about citizenship paths for those who didn't follow the bureaucratic process to enter this country, but they don't want citizenship, they want an economic foot to stand on so they can support their families. The ones that come here with their families do so for more reasons than just the economy and labor.

"I don't see how wanting to keep poor, unskilled laborers out of the country is racist."
1.so the 11 million latins are unskilled laborers? you sure?
2.if by "skilled" you mean studied, then a capitalist country needs skilled AND unskilled laborers

I mean look at the polls for the views of the Republican Party (especially the recent one on slavery), somebody give me a reason for why they shouldn't be laughed at and shunned? They've been taken too seriously as it is.

opinions;
so you have an excellent ally and didnt plan to stab this turn but your ally has 8 hours left to input orders hasn't spoke to you and looks like he might NMR. do you assume the worst and attack or hope for best and not attack? also assume you will be IRL busy the rest of the game an unable to change your decision if he does return.
