either you are in one of these two categories:
1. you do not care or 2. you do not know me
most probably you fall in both of them. :D
Well, the point is, what happened here important since this summer?

Anyone want to take over for Pac Rus?
gameID=36132 The situation is pretty grim... (although you would have 4 SC's) but would be fun, and we would need you for the balance.

Live game during the server reset. . .
I was signed up to be in a live game before the server went down yesterday and the game didn't start till hours later. I wasn't online and went into CD and Turkey won with an impressive 5 centers. (Everyone CDed but him.) Anyway the mods will cancel the game or am I stuck with the CD and impaired GR as a result?

The game was called "not a chance" gameID=43163

Turkish hedge hog
This is a strategy i've fouund for getting the Black sea as turkey
F Ank > Arm
A Con > Bul
A Smy > Ank

Provided you have negotiated a bounce with russia he will go Bls then move back next season and you can claim Bls

If Russia goes Mos - Sev in the spring or bounces himself out of Sev with Bla-Sev and say Ukr-Sev, then what?
This is not the correct hedgehog. You should move Smy-Ank, Con-Bul, Ank-Con. Meanwhile you negotiate a bounce in Black sea. If Russia moves to Black sea, you claim surprise, self-bounce in Ankara and build a new fleet in ankara. If he doesn't, you can move Con to Aegean sea, and play a Juggernaught.

@Basvanopheusden -- you cant self bounce in ankara if Smyrna is there. Perhaps you meant Smy-arM not Ank, but that would undermine the trust for a jugger, as would negotiating but not performing the bounce in the black sea.
Hirsute (161 D)
02 Dec 10 UTC
The OP's moves generally work quite well if you're planning to fight Russia. They eliminate any chance of a juggernaut however and you likely lose the chance of getting Greece if Austria doesn't head to Serbia and/or Albania.
As always with Turkey, however, much depends on the Austrian player. Few opening moves are a guarantee of anything. Also if you play this opening and Russia plays an equally anti-Turkey opening, you could be in big trouble. Let's say Russia goes into Ukraine, Black Sea and Galicia. He then likely gets Rumania and still keeps you out of the Black Sea. Also, since you have only managed to take one SC with A Con, you might be seen as an easy target for Austria, or worse Italy.
Sorry, I miswrote. It should be Smyrna to armenia, then self-bounce in Ankara. The trick is that since you've agreed to bounce in Black sea, he'll probably not move Mos-Sev. the worst he can do is your proposed Sev-Bla, Mos-Ukr, War-Gal.

For the sake of argument, suppose Austria bounces the army in galicia. then you can move Bul-Rum, and self-bounce in ankara. He cannot take Rumania and protect Sevastopol at the same time.

It's a risky strategy, and it's of course crucial to have Austria on board. But when it works, You can deprive Russia of a build in Rumania, and be able to build a fleet in ankara. By spring 1902 you can have control of Armenia and the black sea.
Sounds good in theory, but anyone that's heard of this opening knows exactly what it's designed for and how to counter it. I'm not chickening out and ordering the move to Sevastopol -- no sir, I'm going for Rumania with an army and having the Black Sea fleet relax, and if you went with a variation and took Sevastopol I'm still building and I'm going to kick you out in 1902. Sure, the Turk has a couple of other options at his disposal -- going for Sevastopol, bouncing Rumania -- but here's the problem. The Russian can predict what the Turk initially planned to do, and has a few ways of countering the opening. The Turk is then the one left guessing and playing defensively. The end result is that the Black Sea will not fall to the Turk because it is Russia who ends up dictating the flow of Russo-Turkish affairs past S1901.

Rule the world-10

This message is directed towards anyone that has powers to kickstart a game. We have the necessary people signed up, however due to the game processing malfunctions, it didn't start automatically, and now we have to wait for the phase to end for the pre-game before it even starts. Can someone manually start it for us? Thanks :D

XVIII Medi war game
I am Persia, I ordered Galatia - Byzantium & supported it from Miletus.
I also ordered Cilician Strait - Minoan Sea & supported it from Egyptian Sea which dislodged the fleet in Minoan Sea. So how can a dislodged unit cut my support into Byzantium? Why is Galatia not now in Byzantium?

Gamemaster Down
Sorry for the delay - I would turn it on but I can't remember if this will automatically add the time on to games or if that must be done separately. Clearly, if I restart it without adding the time there will be a lot of very annoyed players!

High pot games WTA just aren't what they used to be.
Have high rollers been in a funk lately? I'm confused, hurt, and disappointed. Does nothing prevent NMRs anymore? How do you specify that you want to play a game without poor attitudes, or a game in which spiteful players don't throw the game to whoever's leading (in a WTA, no less) after his lying backfires? There are only so many players who can afford a 1500-point bet, and I bet a lot of poorer players would RELISH the chance to take their points.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: The Sound Of Music Isn't Playing--Is Silence A Song?
There in front of us, now, is a blank painting canvas. It has not been painted on in any way at all, and it has not been marked or dented or otherwise changed or affected by the artist at all. The artist has NOT touched it in any way. He has not physically changed it (ie, with paint or ripping it) in any way. But Ivan Interpretation says he sees a snowstorm and emptiness, adn that this IS a painting. Is it? If so, why, and if not, is it even art...and, again, why?
