Supporting a hold on a unit ordered to move

as an insurance policy so to speak. If I'm trying to move, but get blocked by another unsupported movebut see the possibility of a 2 on 1 against my current position, can I support a hold on it so that he wont get disloged in the case of a 2 on 1 attack?

My opinion is that the support hold order should be ignored if the piece is trying to move.

Spartacus

I will not claim to be him, but...

If he were up and running today, would you join him?

I was thinking about this as I laid into Pandora in another thread. I find too much of the modern way of protesting stage-managed and, essentially bereft of commitment - it all seems so part-time to bus people in for a Convention or Conference and then withdraw to relative comfort to await the next G7/8/9 meeting etc...

Spartacus though was the real deal: I am wondering whether I would have joined? I'm not exactly a slave, so I cannot come from that perspective, but he and his followers went at if full-time and knew that there lives were on the line from Day One.

His line on property was interesting too.

Cool, two typos in there:

"...went at it full-time and knew that their lives..."

reads better.

The thing about Spartacus and the slave uprising is 1. they were fighting a for very tangible, personal, immediate benefit - immediate freedom from slavery. Protesting war, etc can only influence INFLUENCE, and indirectly benefit the protesters by changes in policies and laws. A real Spartacus would take up arms.

and, 2. Spartacus et al were fighting their way down the Italian peninsula not to overthrow the Romans, but to make their escape overseas to better lands (again, tangible benefits as above). He was not seeking to influence the Roman Senate to abolish slavery, say.

DeliciousWolf (112 )

I agree with you Flashman, that the modern protests seem non-commital and stage-managed for publicity, but that is precisely their point. They are seeking to influence the political system, and are therefore a part of it (even if they would deny it.) Spartacus were he alive today would be a guerilla fighter with a group of revolutionaries seeking to overthrow the whole system, or, they would just simply move to the land of the free.

does a Double supported supporter require a supported move to break support?

I want Naples. I have fleets in Ionian and Tyrr. Naples has support from Rome, and is giving support to rome, and rome has additional support from Tus.

So to be clear, here are the defenders orders:
Nap SH @ Rom
Rom SH @ Nap
Tus SH @ Rom

My question is, since Rome is doubly supported, does a single attack break his support of Naples? or does it take a supported move into Rome to break the support to Naples?

In other words here are the attacking orders:
Ven Move to Rom (intent is to break support)
Ion Move to Nap (intent is to capture)
Tyr SM to Nap From Ion.

Will it succeed?

Glitch?

In game id 5355, all my orders seem to have beenconverted to holds. I'm almost completely sure that I finalized on time, but I could be wrong. Is there any way to confirm what the adjudicator recieved or some other way of checking to see what really happened?
This doesn't really matter that much, of course, but had the orders that I thought I placed gone through, I would have captured two sc's. If it's too much of a hassle or not possible, then nevermind. Thanks!

Question re game maps (small versus large link)

Is it possible that the small map does not reflect all the orders given?

If you refer to game 5495 (d'Artagnan-2), the small map does NOT reflect the support coming from Trieste for the unit in Budapest. The large map (correctly) does.

The history is reflected correctly (showing that support was given) and the game was adjudicated correctly (the support was instrumental in Russia holding onto Budapest).

Convoy - is it a Bug?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/map.php?gameID=5533&turn=1&largemap=on&nocache=848e6b

specially about the convoy of the army (A Yorkshire to Norway). it obvious bounced back, but why did the russian army get in? from what i get, it should've bounced back too.

perhaps someone got the answer - yee im new ;)

What happens if I hold with one of my unit, and then move to that territory with a second unit, which is supported by a third?
Will the lost the fight and be forced to retreat, or it is just not possible and the move order will not succeed?

Question re what if you updated orders but failed to finalize them>

If you've updated your orders but for some reason failed to finalize them prior to the clock running out, what happens? Are the update orders executed or does the system revert to 'hold's for all units?

I believe it takes two seasons with no submission of orders to constitute civil disorder. Would the above (updating but not finalizing orders) constitute the first season towards civil disorder?

Suggestions?

Hey!

This is my first time setting up on php Dip, and because I can draw fresh impressions of it I had a suggestion or two. Sorry if these have already been put forward...

1- It would be great if those nice little colored tabs that display your games and if you have mail came up on every screen once you're logged in.

2- It would also be wonderful if the game clock was more prominently displayed.

I love the interface so far! thanks!

retreats and adjustments in Fall

I am new to the system,
when there are retreats in the Fall on this system,
do you get to see where the retreats went before you build/remove?
are retreats posted?
It seems in my game A3 England has a retreat out of Holland but the game is calling for my builds and does not show if the English fleet was ordered off the board (OTB) or
what. I am not sure if this is a bug or my own ignorance of where to look other than the history for where the retreat was ordered.

Multi-accounting?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4989 (The Borgias)

Ekabar has taken over Russia - a more or less hopeless cause. After a closer look at him though it appears that he's only played in one game - this game.

Beyond that he has conveniently logged off 3 minutes after Caedus - who is France.

I believe that Caedus created the user with the sole purpose of controlling two characters in this game. The fact that they both have similar nonsensical names, are logged on at similar times and one of them is only in one game seems to support my theory.
