Pause error?
Two of my games just spontaneously went into pause without any of the players voting "pause". Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a bug?

MAD MARX GUNBOAT CHALLENGE
MadMarx is, without argument, the best player on this site. He claims to be bored, though, with his regular rotation of classic Diplomacy games. So why not try something new? I challenge you, MM, to a single game of gunboat with some of the top gunboaters on this site. You can have final approval over pot size, phase length, and the other players in the game. What do you say?

China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador--Snowden's Idea of a "Free State?"
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/snowden-washington-reaction-182004272.html "The freedom trail is not exactly China-Russia-Cuba-Venezuela" I have to agree...explain to me again how this guy's a symbol for freedom again (and again, do so WITHOUT saying "Well, the NSA was wrong--" YES. YES IT WAS. That does NOT mean this guy's good...really? Why pick those states, if he couldn't stand what the NSA was doing...they're not exactly Paradises of Government Transparency either...)

An interesting case came up in my research of the DOMA ruling that lays the groundwork for the nullification of all forms of racial preferences.

I want to be a league Substitute Please
Hi! I have been here at WebDiplomacy since the start of the year. Have played a lot of fun games and have been doing OK. Someone suggested that league games were a lot more strategic and the "done thing" was to sign up via the forums. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Joel.

So in Holland, as in all other countries, there are kids teased in schools. The government has gone through great lengths to "protect them", a dangerous development if you ask me.

interest in a 17 player world gunboat tourney?
I was thinking anywhere from 5-8 games depending on the interest. 5 pts. 24 hour turns.

If interested, please pm me, and I can set up a tournament. This seems to be the only way to get rid of metas....

3. to mark or perforate (a postage stamp, admission ticket, etc.) so as to render invalid for reuse.
4. to neutralize; counterbalance; compensate for: His sincere apology canceled his sarcastic remark.

What difference is there between "Feleet" and "Armey" ?
redhouse1938 (429 D)

@redpanda,
A cancelled game disappears from the site's official records; no score is kept and you can't look back at it.
A draw is an agreement between the remaining nations that no more nations can be cut out of the final configuration of unit. The result is stored and the points that were layed in by all players is distributed among those in the draw.

A draw splits the points between all remaining players and the game goes on record in your percentages as a draw. A cancel removes the game entirely, returning the points to *all* players including the defeated ones and any presently in CD. The game no longer appears and isn't counted in your percentages as all records from the game are deleted.

I apologize my question was misleading.

@redhause1938 and Draugnar
Thank you very much!
Your information is what I wanted to know and will help me and a game I have joined.

@rokakoma
Your question realize me my mis-spelling. Thank you.

@Mencjusz
Because of my misleading question, your reply is not I wanted to know.
But your etimological remark is itself interesting.
As I know, English is hybrid language in etimological point of view.
Such a remark may be helpful for non-natives as me.

I have two questions to ask.
1. If I don't like a player and don't want to pause the game per that person's request, can the Mod pauses the game for that person?

2. If a person does not want to work and I don't want to give the person's my spare changes, can the government tax me then give the other person some welfare?
