Has anyone ever started this well?
I am playing with Treefarn, who has won four of six completed games so far. Does this site have a rookie-of-the-year award? Does anyone else know of such a good streak at the beginning of a "career"?

Question about a move in game id #3643
My army in Ruhr moved to Munich with support from Burgandy.
Germany moved Holland to Ruhr with support from Kiel and moved Munich to Burgandy.
That being the case, shouldn't I hold Munich with my army from Ruhr?
Any help or explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks

The map colours
Why is is that Crete and Sardinia remain neutrally coloured throughout the game?

Is it possible to link Crete into the same colour as Greece and Sardinia the same colour as Rome?

New UN Variant Game
If interested, see in thread for details:
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
24 Apr 08 UTC
The latest UN Variant game (number 2) worked quite well, until a couple of the players went into CD! A shame, particularly given that a lot of effort had been put in by some of the other players. The Variant has thrown up some interesting and unusual alliances too, so it's well worth another go.

I did promise that those who were affected by the double CD could have another go, so they are:

Braveheart, Flashman, fwancophile, Thucydides, and
cgwhite32 (me).

So there are potentially two spare spots, though I'd like anyone interested to post below. Some of the original 5 might not be able to make the game this time.
Shisuren (587 D)
24 Apr 08 UTC
I'd really be interested; need another game and haven't gotten a chance to play this variant yet.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
24 Apr 08 UTC
Can we lower the pot from before? Pleeeease? Lol I'm a lo-roller.
Braveheart (2408 D(S))
25 Apr 08 UTC
Braveheart ready for duty. Don't mind what pot size is, but prefer WTA. Dealer's choice though.... so up to you Mr White.
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
25 Apr 08 UTC
How's around a 40 point point - nice and reasonable but tasty enough to go for a victory?
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
25 Apr 08 UTC
Sorry - that should be 'point pot'. Ahem
flashman (2274 D(G))
25 Apr 08 UTC
40 is fine...

Can I just emphasise that the press will be heavy and it requires a lot of concentration to take on board the treaties as they come along (and remember details). Not a variant for the casual player...
maxfrog (103 D)
25 Apr 08 UTC
Out of curiosity for us newbs, what is the UN variant?
Thucydides (864 D(B))
26 Apr 08 UTC
Can it be.... 20? Please? I mean, I'll still join a 40-pt but.... the higher the pot the higher the stress know what I'm sayin?
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
27 Apr 08 UTC
Ok.

For those who are interested, UN Variant is a game where you are allowed to create honour binding treaties or non-aggression pacts. To do this, two or more parties agree, then both post their agreement in the Global Chat for everyone to see - the treaty is then ratified and binding.

You can do simple treaties (England and France are allied and will not attack each other), or more complex and limited ones revolving around particular board spaces being an agreed demilitarised zone (English Channel). The possibilities are endless, and has led to us all becoming budding lawyers to try and find ways around the treaties if you want to circumvent them.
DeaconBlues (156 D)
27 Apr 08 UTC
Interesting. Are there any penalties for breaking a treaty, other than being visibly seen as untrustworthy?
sean (3490 D(B))
27 Apr 08 UTC
you just aren't allowed to, period. people will be pissed, may not be asked to join any other honour rules games.
Braveheart (2408 D(S))
28 Apr 08 UTC
you should also be forced to submit no manourve orders the following Spring/Autumn and give back whatever was taken (as some treaties are not well written and open to interpretation.... if the majority agree that the treaty was violated then should be subject to UN sanction too).
I currently have no points, but please invite me to future games.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
28 Apr 08 UTC
Are we gonna start it up or what?
Shisuren (587 D)
28 Apr 08 UTC
Aye, ready and waiting :P
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
28 Apr 08 UTC
So we have from the original list:

cgwhite32
Flashman
Thucydides
Braveheart

And from the new players:

Shisuren
Sean (?)

So we need one more... Maxfrog, are you interested still? And Sean, can you confirm.

Which makes five

fwancophile (164 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
okay well if there is only 5 i want to insist - just another busy weekend so i didn't see this.
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
Well fwancophile was in the original game, so I did give him first option. Sorry fwanco - you are in the game if you want to be.

That would make a full compliment with Sean if he posts here. Apologies Medi, but there will be other opportunities to have a go on this. Sean may not respond, in which case you are first reserve.

I would aim to start the game this Saturday, if that's ok with people?
fwancophile (164 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
i would like to in fact - sat is great
sean (3490 D(B))
29 Apr 08 UTC
oh sorry, i have a few too many games on, medi be my guest
Shisuren (587 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
Aye, sounds good to me.
Medi (280 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
Hmm. Okay, then!
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
29 Apr 08 UTC
Right. The full seven are:

cgwhite32
Flashman
Thucydides
Braveheart
Shisuren
Medi
Fwancophile

I will start this game up on Saturday. I can't do before due to work, and I'm struggling to keep up with my current games as it is. From next week, everything relaxes, so will be able to concentrate on it properly.

Is 25 points ok Thucydides? I don't know what's wrong with the password issue - someone who is better than me on computers might have an idea?
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
03 May 08 UTC
Chaps, have just started the game - today is Saturday after all. Either go through my profile to get into the game, called UN Variant 3 (imaginative, I know), or go to this link:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3762&join=on&password=a5c75ec554cba4ba4737a1a2542896d4

Please, only those join listed above!

Password is: nations
flashman (2274 D(G))
04 May 08 UTC
Still cannot access by password. There is something wrong with the system/my account.

Believe it or not, Braveheart tried to enter another game and got me entered instead! He has been shunted into my account before as well. We thought it was a matter of cookies, but they have been removed and I still do not seem to be able to apply passwords under my name.

The only way it has worked for me has been to start the game myself and send out the link...
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
04 May 08 UTC
Well flashy, I think mine will expire soon, so if you can't get in, I'll let you start the game tomorrow/Monday and we can go from there. Any ideas why this keeps happening?
Braveheart (2408 D(S))
04 May 08 UTC
so are we joining the game above or waiting for Flashman to set-up a new one?
flashman (2274 D(G))
04 May 08 UTC
Have to wait for me to set up the new one... I will use the same name... UN Variant 3.

I will need e-mails...
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
04 May 08 UTC
You have mine already I think.
Shisuren (587 D)
04 May 08 UTC
I just followed cg's link and was auto-entered, didn't have to input a password *scratches head*
flashman (2274 D(G))
04 May 08 UTC
That has happened to me before...

I just cannot figure out what is wrong.
fwancophile (164 D)
05 May 08 UTC
i didnt get an email...
Braveheart (2408 D(S))
05 May 08 UTC
I don't think Flashman has sent one out yet.... but you'll need to disclose your email address anyway. That or Flashy can post the link on the forum.

Stagger the Lier
In the game Stay on These Roads,
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3326&msgCountry=Global

I am playing England, and Stagger the Lier is Turkey, we have reached an agreement of drawing, then a new Russia came in, we fought till he died, still bearing the draw agreement, now that he has 17 and i have 17, i asked about our agreement, and its gone. I played so that we are going to have a nice draw, he then takes such advantage of a good ol' agreement and fights....

He said to Me "Autumn 1911: Yes, we'll draw once Russia is gone."
I asked the Public "Autumn 1912: Are we for a DRAW?"
He replied "Autumn 1912: I'm afraid not. sorry. But you'll still get a ton of points."

(Public Messages can be confirmed by Wombat, playing the Russian character)

NEVER, NEVER, PLAY STAGGER THE LIER

My Internet is broken. (unprintable words go here)
So, yeah. For some reason, my Internet has become unbearably slow recently - to the extent that it takes fifteen minutes to load a single page. ETA until fix is unknown. I should be able to finish both of my current games, but this means I'm going to have to pull out of the UN game, which is really inconvenient as I joined yesterday. I apologize for that, and hope you'll forgive me.

Drawn Games - How are points allocated?
I was under the impression that in drawn games the pot was shared out equally between all participants in the draw.... in this game it still seems to be shared out according to point per supply centre.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3027

Pot = 925

If i'd known I'd have been tempted to scrap a bit harder to push dangermouse back - though would still have ended in a draw.

If a French fleet from Marseilles sails to Gulf of Lyon, and an Italian fleet from Gulf of Lyon sails to Marseilles, do the bounce, or trade places?

Same question, but involving Spain.

Finally, can an army in N. Africa move to Spain SC, and can a fleet do it as well?

http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tenshi/Killer_000.htm

in fact i read that book several years ago i didn't like it that much. oh yes the main character was endearing and all but i felt the book was aimed to please a teenage market bracket. not really my cup of tea, i prefer hard science fiction.
