Jesus fuck, I am in the worst goddam gunboat ever
Russia quits when they are the largest power on the board. Austria's a total moron who has completely ignored the growth of a huge Turkey in order to persist in attacking Italy, and England is getting gutted like a sea bass because he wants to attack France and Germany simultaneously, while they're attacking each other. Yecch, this game sucks.

They're not discussing. They're bitching.
And with as few specifiers as I can possibly include whilst making the bitching cogent.

You should be bitching, Centurion. This is a terrible game.

If the game is still playing, you two are still cheating. Stop talking about an ongoing gunboat game. And no, I'm not in it. I don't do live games as a rule of thumb.
gameID=36002

The link. Watch it develop turn by turn to get a sense of what truly godawful players England and Austria were. Turkey did a fine job, Russia, while they stuck around did OK, but I think they probably bit off more than they could chew. Germany confused me, but that's his prerogative. Austria and England were complete dolts, though.

Now he posts the fucking link! Bob, you are going to get banned by a mod pretty soon because you are cheating by posting about an ongoing gunboat here!
The game's been over for an hour and a half, Draugnar.

The game had already ended when he posted the link
Or in other words, since before you posted to this thread the first time.

K, sorry. I saw you say "watch it develop" and thought it was ongoing. My apologies, Bob.
No prob, Draug. Seriously, check out the link if you ever want to see how to fuck up being England in a gunboat. Austria, theres lots of ways to screw up in gunboat. But it takes a special kind of ineptitude to get killed as England when Russia CDs, and France and Germany are roughly equal to each other and can't make peace with each other.

I haven't opened the link; I just enjoyed reading the first post. I've felt that way on rare occasions, but I don't think I'd been able to yet put it so eloquently:)
England was meh. Austria was fucking lol.

You play a PPSC live gunboat and what do you expect? This kind of game can´t even be called diplomacy.
So stop bitching and start to play decent games (WTA, not live) with decent players.

Honestly, I don't think any gunboat game can really be called diplomacy, but the form is close enough that I can cope. But that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a certain minimum amount of competence and courtesy that I should be able to expect from others playing the same game.

its okay if your a noob, just dont goddamn resign.

suck all you want you have to learn somewhere but quitting wont win you any friends
I want to echo centurion's comments. Noobs do have to learn somehow. I'd probably recommend that they start out with press games rather than gunboat, but learn somewhere. The real problem comes when you resign. It'll happen to just about everybody eventually, but if it's happening with regularity, you're a douchebag, and ruining the game for other people.
Miyazaki (0 DX)

Yeah, douchebags.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
18 Aug 10 UTC
I think you need to just accept the fact that people resign in live gunboats. They seem to attract noobs who quit. If you decide to bitch on the forum after every live gunboat that has a CD in it, you will be creating alot of threads.
centurion1 (1478 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
its not one cd thats annoying its two or three and no one draws
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

You need to either accept that it could happen, or password it and select who gets to play.

Check out this game. 4 CDs in 1901, it was shocking.

The game (and it wasn't even a gunboat) had only been created 20 minutes before it started. It was pathetic.

Draugnar (0 DX)

@Miyazaki - there was at most one CD in 1901. Everyone except Italy moved in Fall 1901 which precludes the possibility of anyone except Italy CDing as it takes two missed phases in a row and there is never a Spring 01 Retreat phase as no one is close enough to overpower and take another nations units in Spirng 01.
Miyazaki (0 DX)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Ok, thankyou for correcting me on my use of the phrase "CD", Draugnar. Regardless though, I still think that 4 out of 7 players missing the first turn in a live game that was created 20 minutes before starting is quite pathetic.
centurion1 (1478 D)

Draugnar (0 DX)

Oh, absolutely pathetic. I thought you were serious about them CDing though.

Gunboat Done Properly
I've tried three gunboat games today, all of which have been spoiled by no-shows and cds. Frankly, I find it ridiculous that 3 games be ruined this way. If anyone is interested in doing it properly, I will create a 50 point buy-in game scheduled to start in 30 minutes. If you join, show up.
