Raids in Belgium on Terror Cells; 100+ Arrested Across Europe

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/15/world/belgium-anti-terror-operation/ "A Western Intelligence source tells CNN that the ongoing terror threat appears to involve up to 20 sleeper cells of between 120 to 180 people ready to strike in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands." 2014 was a year that will remembered for a lot of violence in the Middle East...might we remember 2015 as the year that violence came to Europe and the West?

Can't Ready Up Building fewer units than earned?

I want to save one of my builds for later. I entered one build but left the other blank since I don't want to use it yet. The order won't allow me to 'Ready' up. Will the one build still go through? Is this a bug, or is it a rule that I must use all my builds?

ADVERTISE SELECTIVE LIVE GAMES HERE (101D+ or PW-protected)

If this thread is too similar to the other one we can abandon it, but I think we need a distinct place to schedule and advertise games with some desirable restrictions. .

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
19 Jan 15 UTC

Ground rules:
- As the title states, games advertised herein should have either a 101

minimum buy-in, or be password-protected.
-Though not mandatory, I think it would've good to get into the habit of scheduling live games a day or more in advance.
- Passwords can be provided either on request and at the discretion of game creator, or written directly within this thread. Though the latter seems pointless, it does at least weed out those players who don't even bother going in the forums.

Aaaand typos. *Would BE good to get into the habit...*

Valis2501 (2850 )
19 Jan 15 UTC

This has my 100% support. Hopefully we can get it to work. I think people are scared of scheduling live games because they feel it's likely one or more people can't make it, but I think it's a good idea especially for people who want to dedicate themselves to it.

Valis2501 (2850 )

Yes, and for some reason this feels isolationist and I apologize, but I am/live EST and I think it would be good if we knew or even formed little groups that knew what times people were and when they prefer to have live games start to facilitate this.

bo_sox48 (5202 )

Start up my old private live game troop again. I don't have the time right now with mafia running and school just getting foing.

Valis2501 (2850 )

Indeed, Bo ran a private live game thread a couple weeks/months back and it was glorious.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
19 Jan 15 UTC

That was the second time I did that, so if you want to get another group, do so.

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
19 Jan 15 UTC

I'm EST and generally down to start a game at or around 9PM nearly every day except Friday.

CONGRATULATIONS to wpfieps

Check out gameID=153815 where wpfieps managed to solo as Turkey - gamely playing on while Italy, Austria, France and Russia all DMR'd. Never even considering cancelling or drawing the game.

It's players like that who make me hate this place sometimes.

Mafia Sign Up Thread

If you're interested in playing a game beginning sometime after January 11, post here. I'll take on the GM role alone initially but I would love to have a co-GM if anyone is interested in that.

We can also discuss details of the next game. Preliminarily, there will be no SK and two primary factions (town/mafia). I would love to get creative with power roles if others are interested too.

A similar number of casualties to catastrophic terrorist events like 9/11 and yet this has been reduced to a sentence on the scrolling text at the bottom of your TV screen. Funny how some lives are less important than others.

100 like extravaganza experiment

I've finally hit 100 likes. To celebrate, I am giving away 10 likes to the first 10 persons that post. The only rules are that each person must like another comment in the first 10 comments and NO DOUBLE COMMENTING. I will count the likes and award the participants.

This is purely experimental. Have fun! The topic is music puns but feel free to go off topic.

Epic Fails - Defeat from the jaws of victory

Inspired by Sh@dow's thread about comebacks, would anyone like to share links to games where the *opposite* happened? That is, where a power was on 16 or 17 SCs, a move away from a solo.... and then they horribly, tragicomically ballsed it up?

Gunboaters how do you signal allies?

The one move support arrow is obvious. I also give fake supports for my own units to point allies down a path. (Of course this assumes our allies open and read the expanded detail maps. And allies may need to go a couple maps back to get the whole story.) What do you do?
