Taking over a country in Civil Disorder

When you take over a country, anyone have any pointers? I suppose the first thought is to look at the board and see if there's any chance of surviving, but beyond that, any advice?

When you take over a country, can you real all the diplomacy that went on before with the prior player?

Which are the records by country?

Is there a compiled list of which country wins most often? Which loses most often, which survives, etc? Seems like easy information to pull from a database.

How did I manage to drop out the game???

I was in the game 'duality' as England and suddenly I was out of the game ...how could this happen? I certainly did not miss three phases (I don't know if I even missed one?). Is this some kind of bug?

Now I find that someone has claimed my place in the game already. Would there be any chance to get back into game??

suggestion to make retreat phase quicker

I am currently in a game that is waiting on one more country to retreat. However, the retreating unit has no options and must be destroyed. Is it possible for the program to recognize that fact and just inform the player the unit is being destroyed? Instead, our game is being delayed hours. I know other games have dealt with this situation also. Maybe this could be added to the next version of the game.

should the united states get a name?

sorry, but i feel quite insulted that people refers to the united states as "america" when "america" consists of many nations from argentina to canada... and is more shameful when the US has become such a corrupted and criminal nation in an international level.

i think is time that the US gets a real name for their country... how about if they change it to something short for "police squad of the world"? no,i dont think so...then the world will feel insulted.

but really, get a name!

A bit higher stakes??

Hey, anybody interested in getting a game going with something above 100 ante? Say, 120? 150? Points per SC is fine, I just want to play with some more experienced diplomats, and the only games I see filling up are the 10 pointers...

So yeah, anybody down for something above 100??

very diplomacy relevant topic

since this game is based off of world war 1
I thought it would be insightful to look at the war itself, or rather it's causes

now something I find very funny that a nationalist started the whole war, with the assassination. And even then it only started because nationalism was so strong in many European countries.

So what do you think about nationalism?

Speed game

Anyone in for a speed game? This is a game where all players are online for a certain amount of time, at least an hour, and moves are finalised fast. I would like to set a max time of finalising of 5 mins. If I can find 6 other players for tomorrow afternoon, between let's say 12 and 16, I'll set up.

Best names

Let's see if we can come up with a list of players with especially good names. After we get a decent list together we can vote. Let's try by saying each player may nominate up to three other names that they think are especially creative, funny, etc.

I'll start with (in no particular order):
1) Feckless Clod
2) Figlesquidge
3) Kestas ;)

If there is indeed a player called 'mozartfarts' (and I have no reason to doubt it), then he just got my vote for the best. name. ever.

Civil Disorder Kestas - guess who that is? I guess flashman will be extremely distraught when he finds out. (oops, a tip!)
Rait - Simple on the outside, but complex on the inside. Just like him.
The final one is...thewonderllama - It makes me think of dancing magical four-legged animals.

Sicarius (673 )

oh, while doing some research on my name (sicarius)
I found alot of stuff, and have reached an interesting conclusion. I don’t believe “Judas Iscariot” really existed. His first name, “Judas,” refers to “Judah,” and is the same root from which we have “Judaism” and “Jew.” “Iscariot” probably refers to the sicarii–the most radical of the Zealot sects of the Second Temple period (essentially the terrorists of the early Roman Empire). He’s the only one of the apostles from Judea–everyone else is from Galilee. So, essentially, he is “Jew the Jew from Jew-land.” Christianity began as a Second Temple Jewish sect, and was as embroiled in the sectarian infighting as all the rest. The swipes the early Christian books take at other Jewish sects are precisely the same as we find in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The gospels tell us that Jesus faced his last hours alone–so who was keeping all these notes?

Sicarius (673 )

am I totally off base here or what

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

On Rait, I quote (probably inaccurately, but the gist is still there) Duncan Fletcher: "you could call a horse "toast"... if it won then the name would catch on."

Devil May Care 666/111

6 point game, come beat up on me. For the second time now I have been put down to almost 0 points, and phpDip has kindly renewed me back to 100 points. It must be a benevolent universe! Which is good, because apparently I am terrible at this Diplomacy stuff, hence hitting single digits a couple times now...
The first time I got 100 points after losing a game, I thought it was a glitch and didn't make a fuss, the second time it happened I figured it must be a for-real thing.
Anyway, join my game and dominate the kid-who-cant-win-but-still-logs-on-ten-times-a-day.

Addressed primarily to Pandora, or those like minded.

Is black and white reporting, as in video journalism, less or more emotionally disturbing than colour? I vote colour is more delivering to humanitys wake up call. Dead bodies in a doco do not do anything compared to a colour version of the same... Thoughts?

Account

Allo all, just getting this known ASAP - this is a second account, my first is Shisuren. The only reason for this account is because I can't seem to log in with the other name while at work - so this is my 'play on lunchbreak' account (probably). Not even sure I'll have enough time, but if I do, I'd like to play a little bit. Neither account will be in any game with the other, period.. Ever. Etc.

Again, this account's only here because I can't log into the other one. Don't know whether I'll be able to play often, but I'll at least be able to keep up with one game and just play from home (Shisuren will be inactive if I've got an active game going in this account).

Thanks =)
