Unit build issue!
In the "Starters-2" game (http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=10202) I did not receive the two builds I have ordered but only one. I would like to ask for a fix or rollback here as soon as this is possible.
Thank you in advance for any help.

How do I find my friend?
I have a few RL friends on this site who joined after I spent all my points. As a result, they are not in any of my games, nor do they seem to post on the forums. I know their names, but I can't find their profiles. How do I find them?

Sun/Oracle merger
My mind is blown; this totally came out of nowhere for me. Now Oracle owns all MySQL and InnoDB (the database system phpDip, and most sites across the world) run on, as well as Java, plus Oracle owns BDB too, some very smart (and scary) acquisitions.
The two companies couldn't be more differently run, and now I have no idea what direction they'll go in

Any tech followers got an opinion on this pretty big news?

A question about Support
A holds - B support Holds A - C support Holds B
A is attacked with support - B is attacked solo
will A-B-C hold or will A be taken?
Hopefully someone can make sense of that, if not I'll find some countries for an example.
Katsarephat (100 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
B attacked solo cuts B's support on A (regardless of C's support). Thus A is dislodged.
mlempic2 (377 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
But if A support holds B and B supports the move of C. Even if B is attacked it will still support move C....or do I have this all wrong?
mlempic2 (377 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
shouldn't cutting support work for both moving and holding? (Assuming I don't have the second scenario wrong)
Shrimpy (100 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
no i disagree, i think the all hold. B's support is not cut because the suport from C. Therefore A has a supprt and then it bounces the units that attacked it.
katsarephat has it right. If B is attack, even if he has support, he can no longer support A.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Apr 09 UTC
Support is cut because B's attention has to be directed towards it's attacker and therefore can't aid A. It's actually very logical.
mlempic2 (377 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
True, but then why doesn't the same rule apply to supporting a move? (or does it?) I don't beleive a support move is cut when it has a support hold...
Alderian (2425 D(S))
21 Apr 09 UTC
It does. Except if attacked from where you are supporting a move to.

For example. A supports B to move to C. If C moves to A it does not cut A's support so C is dislodged. But if instead D moves to A, it does cut A's support so C is not dislodged.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
21 Apr 09 UTC
Think of it in terms of actual units in a big area. If A is over on one side of its area supporting some action but then is attacked from another side, it has to go away from what it is doing to defend itself, thus its support is cut.

But if it the attack on its area is from the same area that it is helping another unit into, then it is already there and doing its job.

This kind of thinking can help you understand a lot of the rules instinctively.
mlempic2 (377 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
Even if E is support holding A?
mlempic2 (377 D)
21 Apr 09 UTC
To me this like three guys standing in a line (or a big area) guy 1 asks guy 2 to watch his back while he suppports off to the side. If guy 1 sees someone coming from behind him he knows guy 2 has his back so he keeps on rolling.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Apr 09 UTC
A support move is cut if attacked unless attacked by the unit under attack to begin with (i.e. a unit cannot cut support for an attack on itself).
Alderian (2425 D(S))
21 Apr 09 UTC
@mlempic2, yes. If a unit is attacked, whether it is supported or not, it has to pay attention to that attack and can't be helping out elsewhere. You don't have to dislodge a unit to cut its support.

But, just so you know, if a fleet is convoying an army, you do have to dislodge the fleet to disrupt the convoy. So it is harder to stop a convoy than it is to stop support.

I was under the impression that a person who went CD in a game could not, through coding, pick up another CD country in the same game. Could you clarify this please.

My friends and I are playing a live game. Our 7th player dropped out. So we have one account playing as Italy that I log onto to hold every round.

I don't want to get banned for multi-accounting. I promise you we just want to play a game!

Supporting a convoying fleet
If, say, a Russian fleet is convoying an army, can it be supported, or could two opposing English fleets eject it and disrupt the convoy even if a second Russian fleet was supporting the first?

Thanks in advance!!

One person playing multiple powers in the same game
In a tight game at a critical juncture of the game, right after moving units, a new person arises to take over a country in CD with two units about to be destroyed. This new person became a member just AFTER the resolution of the Spring moves, and is in a position to do nothing except to be a spoiler favoring the alliance opposing ours.
