Starting Games with BANNNED Players
Recently joined a game, but before the game even started a player got banned. Per the system, a game does not start, and in fact cancels, without a full roster. <<more in first reply>>

When does a game end?
Does a game automatically end when someone gets to 18 supply centers or does it not end until someone conquers all of the supply centers?

Thanks,

There's a canal or sea, can't remember which.

Pretty sure there's not... Not according to the map or description...

Except if you cound just going around... It's faster to just take a SC and build an army :)
Its one of several known bugs in that map.

The soviets built a canal connecting rivers which flow into the baltic sea and into tue black sea - if i'm not entirely mistaken - you can take it like con or denmark in the classic map. (i'm not sure though, it is either a bug or a feature, there are lots of world map variants, and some of them probably don't have this canal)

Yes, it goes into Belarus. I think it's called the Royal Canal?

I've heard before of these 'known' bugs, but I have yet to see a list. Gold: happen to have a link to help those not in the know?
It's a bug,there is no canal. There are rivers but you can sail from Rumania to Munich also. But that's not it.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
02 Jun 13 UTC
It really should be mentioned in the description I think... If it's meant to be make it visable on the map, if not remove it...
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Is it fair game to use such a bug btw?

Which map is this in?
This is the World map, jmbostwick. Not the new ones that were just added.

Minister, I don't have a link or a list of the known bugs, so I apologize. The Poland-Ukraine canal is the biggest one, though down by Antarctica its a little buggy as well. I forget which territories though, to be exact.

Steephie - I can't say it's not fair without being a hypocrite. I've used the Poland move before, so it's fine.

I prefer the term "easter egg" to bug. ;)

But yeah, the secret "canals" between Poland/Ukraine and Vostok/Dumont are two of my favorite surprises in World (the former, I feel, actually adds a rather interesting element to the game).

The only other "bug" I am aware of is that fleets in Moscow can not move to Ukraine or Armenia, or vice-versa. This bug is far more annoying, though I like to think that it is actually a subtle reference to the impracticalities of the old "fleet Moscow" joke in Classic Diplomacy.
I'm with Tas.
Nice if there was a list somewhere tho.
So people, please list here: what bugs do *you* know about in the world map?
The two Tasnica mentioned are the only ones I know of. Though there is a special rule about the Ross Ice Shelf that I forget right now, but it restricts movement there. But that's a rule, not a bug.
Tasnica (3366 D)

Only fleets can move from RIS to MBL. Armies can not.

This is really bloody annoying for anyone trying to attack someone entrenched in Antarctica. If you are Oz or Argentina, especially, it makes it much harder to surround the South Pole.

world wide gunboat tournament
This is my favorite scenario but there is too much meta playing and . It is a bit tedious to get a 17 player list, but I would like to see if people are up to playing an anonymous game.I prefer a 12 hour turn, but am fine with 24 hours, esp. if people confirm after moving.

Thoughts?

Gladiatorial combat tournament?
I'm not sure how all these "tournament" rules work, but would anyone be interested in a tournament where all entrants bet, say, 90% of their total points? As such it would be evenly matched, and to lose would relegate you to noob status. Gladiator-style combat - you win or perish. Any takers? Anyone know how to organize such a thing? Minimum entry points should be around 2000, so I wouldn't qualify.
