Opening in Gunboat as Russia
Russia has the largest array of openings compared to all other countries on the Classic map. So what exactly is the best opening when you can't communicate with your fellow... allies?

Mods Ignoring Complaints?
I filed multiple complaints against abusive forum content days ago, and the mods have not responded. Very disappointed -- I'm fairly certain I am being ignore/treated unfairly because they dislike me -- I expect better behavior from the mods here.

Anyone else being ignored by mods?

Site rules are site rules. I can understand the ban and it's a SOLID line in the sand, to show what is and what is not acceptable here. I personally would have thought a public warning and a temporary forum-ban would be a better first step, but as I have not seen any of the discourse in the emails betweens mods and Krellin, I will accept their judgement as the best possible course of action at this point in time.

This does bring into question something I have for Zultar:

sometimes using foul and vulgar language is useful in-game, in order to provoke a reaction, generally which is more predictable than the movement of a calm and collected opponent. I understand that personal threats and the like are not accepted in-game, but to what extent will this tool be regulated? I personally have been able to help allies and hurt opposition by provoking people, and I feel like a complete removal of this feature from the site could hurt gameplay and narrow options.

[this is no way is a questioning of the forum rules]

We don't usually moderate in game messages. It has been extremely rare that we have to interfere with in games and that has almost always been about someone making a threat of a personal level.

The thing is that Krellin has logged hundreds and hundreds of hours on the site, both in games and on the forum. Don't think that that hasn't benefitted the site. It has.

Since most of the comments are about how zultar should appeal this decision, I think it's fair to acknowledge that there has to be a limit. Krellin wasn't banned because this one time; he was banned because of all the times. The fact that he hasn't learned and instead of playing diplomacy and abiding by the warnings he decided to keep going implies he will never learn. While I enjoyed Krellins presence and banter with him I understand and respect the business decision to remove him.

DammmmDaniel- nope not a kiss ass, Zultar makes mistakes and contrary to what some people believe is human. But I understand where he is coming from with his decision. This is a business. Whether the forum wants to admit it or not it's a business. I manage a restaurant and when I have a customer getting vile and unpleasant I give him several warnings and then have the police remove him. Krellin was a customer of this site. If this were a restaurant his actions would have him forcibly removed. Now I like Krellin, I thought he was funny I was the guy sitting a few seats over laughing at him until he got removed where upon I kept laughing. Business.

Everyone else is the patrons yelling in support as he is removed from restaurant. But after a few moments you shut up and go back to eating.

"This is about Krellin and about the integrity of the site."

Yeah. As in, the site has more integrity without krellin on it.

"I personally would have thought a public warning and a temporary forum-ban would be a better first step,"

First step? FIRST step?! Have you seen The 39 Steps recently? I bet the mods have!

Asia Pacific
I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on the current issue and affairs happening in the Asia Pacific. I would benefit from this and I'd like to hear what people have to say in an ethical point of view that I wouldn't be able to see myself without guidance. Feel free to post articles and arguments involving the Asia Pacific, which would of course include countries like South Korea, China, and Japan, rather than India and Russia.
