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

Due to the game problems our match hasn't started
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?

I'm Greece. It's because you can't cut an attack. The attack still occurs, bounces, and then the unit is dislodged. It's a strange rule, but one I make use of all the time.
Graeme01 (100 D)
02 Dec 10 UTC
I've also thought that a unit which has a greater support value than the attacker should not have its support cut, but that's the way it goes I guess...

It's like a sacrifice fly. You sacrifice the one unit to protect the other.

It's like in Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem.

1.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


2.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


3.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.


4.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.


5.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.


6.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

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?
