when i joined a live game, it was about 7:45 or something like that and when it was about to start the server started having problems. When i got back the next day, the game was finished and someone else won, is there anything that can be done to get my points back? the game was gameID=119628

I'll write an EOG here later. Thanks for the game everyone. I think it might have been my first time playing with everyone other than King Rishard and uclabb. It was pretty quick and fun. Shame I overplayed my hand and went for the solo too soon. I underestimated how quickly you guys would coordinate.

Due to the down time last night four live games started hours after they were scheduled too, they have been cancelled. More inside.

See below ...

1. Can one fleet convoy two units in one turn? For example, if I have armies in London and Edinburgh, can a fleet in the North Sea convoy them to Holland and Norway, or do I have to choose one?

2. Can a fleet support the army it is convoying?

If there is a player who has left a game, but still has a couple of units/supply centres, and the game is drawn by the remaining players, does the player who left get fucked by natural selection?

If there is a player who has left a game, but still has a couple of units/supply centres, and the game is drawn by the remaining players, does the player who left get a share of the draw?

Is anyone interested in creating a league or tourney for the new maps? I just want to play them, but it's hard to find games that aren't anon (because I have friends on this site, I don't wanna be accused for meta).
Or we could just get a couple games going. 5 point bet, at least 1 day phases, either map. Any takers?

(I never thought I'd write that)

http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/02/constitution.html A friend sent me this...and while I'm really not at all a fan of blogs (way of the future, I know, but they're so self-indulgent, self-aware, and slanted...almost like someone who posts on issues repeatedly in a forum...wait...) and I take issue counting our "rights" by the Bill of Rights...it did get me thinking--what "rights" that people claim to be rights are real, true rights, and which are merely privileges we allow ourselves?

I know I can click the icon next to "Notifications" to see several of them, but is there a good way to see my PMs that are older than are available in the notifications screen? I've clicked around and can't seem to find it if there is...

I have two needs for the SoW: the first is a Russian player in the intermediate game. Russia has not shown up for his takeover position. There'd nothing wrong with the spot and needs to be filled. You would have ample time to talk and get adjusted.
The other is an assistant TA for Turkey in Game 1. The current TA is doing a great job but time zone differences make last minute communication difficult. If you're interested in one or the other or have questions, PM me.

When I start another private game with my friends (gameID=116936), and assuming the other players are OK with this, is it possible for me to be given the abilities to pause the game to prevent NMR, and to remove a player if they want to quit?

Does anyone who lives in the New York City area would like to get together to play Diplomacy face-to-face? Thanks.

I'm sure everyone's heard that Bachmann isn't going to run for reelection. I hope you can join me in a moment of silence for the best source of political comedic material since Sarah Palin.

I haven't been reading too much about the new Pope, but so far I'm liking what I'm hearing. Thoughts on the new pope?

I'm looking to buy a watch. Definitely Mechanical, although I haven't decided on Automatic or Hand-Winding. Anyone have good brands or stores/sites to recommend?
