Another Dune-themed game approaches
500-point buy-in, 3500-point pot. PPSC. 48-hour phases. Starts September 12. If you're interested, respond below.

I'm interested, but I've come to prefer WTA over time here.

I'm jealous you can just throw that many points onto the table and have no qualms about it.
Centurian (3257 D)
28 Aug 09 UTC
Like my dad always said: "You've got to spend dip points to make dip points."
Dunecat (5899 D)
29 Aug 09 UTC
Centurian's father says it best. In my case, I got the points I have by buying into big games and playing well.

StevenC.: Do you think you can put together 500 D by September 12?

Not really.

Ill be on holiday as of the 16th so ill miss this one, after that though im happy to have a big dunecat pot game when then the next one rolls round.....

Sounds like fun to me, but a bit early for me to commit, please put me down as an alternate/possibility... though I'm not sure you are accepting applications from players in the last Dune-themed game...
Dunecat (5899 D)

On Arrakis, water is everything. If you have the water to pay, you can play.
TheWizard (5364 D(S))

a bit early, but probably yes.

September 12 is a week or two away anyway. I bet it'll give everyone some time.
Dunecat (5899 D)

Everybody feelin' it? That's the sound of September 12 approaching in the distance.
I am a big possibility, I'd love teh chance to throw all my eggs in one basket

I'm really tempted. REALLY tempted.
Ask me again on 9/11th. If I'm not overwhelmed with league and TheMastersTourney, I'll jump in. Love me a high pot game.

Willing to bet Ivo would jump in as well. He's always around high pot games it seems...

@Dunecat

are you a fan of the movie by itself or just the "Universe" of Dune?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
07 Sep 09 UTC
By "movie" do you mean "book"? : )
Babak (26982 D(B))
08 Sep 09 UTC
I'm in Dune - but only if its WTA =) just be sure to remind me or PM when the time comes.
Dunecat (5899 D)
08 Sep 09 UTC
I'm a huge fan of Herbert's original Dune book; I'm about to read Dune Messiah, the second in the original 6-part series. I have not seen the Lynch film, nor the Sci Fi miniseries, but there are lots of problems with both of them, and David Lynch made a lot of retarded choices in his film, so I don't consider it canon.
Troodonte (3379 D)
08 Sep 09 UTC
Well, I've seen the film but I haven't read the book.
I didn't think that the film was anything special, but I have been quite tempted to read the book as I think that the "Universe" (I mean the original idea) as something cativating. That's why I asked.
I'll have to read it :)
Babak (26982 D(B))

Dunecat (5899 D)

The Duniverse is really cool. I first got into it by playing Dune II, one of the first PC RTS games by Westwood Studios. I loved that game, and it has turned me into an RTS gamer--when I'm not playing Diplomacy, of course.

Dune is an incredible book--much better than the Lynch interpretation, although I'm afraid the film's ridiculous portrayals of characters could forever colour your perception of who the characters are.
fortknox (2059 D)
09 Sep 09 UTC
@Troodonte: Dude... the movie was TERRIBLE. The book? BRILLIANT! Easily one of the best (if not THE best) scifi novels their are. The second book was a little slow for my taste, but the third was good as well! After that? Herbert took harder and harder drugs, cause they just got WEIRD!
Dunecat (5899 D)
09 Sep 09 UTC
I'll create the game later today with a 3-day join period so it either starts on the 12th (today's the 9th) or earlier. If you want the password and I haven't sent it to you, shoot me a PM!
Babak (26982 D(B))
09 Sep 09 UTC
so who are the 7? and who are you sending the password to?
Dunecat (5899 D)
09 Sep 09 UTC
I'm not sure who the seven will be yet; I'll set up the game a bit later today.
Dunecat (5899 D)
09 Sep 09 UTC
NOTICE

The game has been created: gameID=13289

I will review the list and contact players shortly. If you want to make sure you are involved, PM me immediately.
Dunecat (5899 D)

Babak: the game is PPSC, and you said you're only interested in WTA; PM me if you change your mind.

but why PPSC? seriously?
Dunecat (5899 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
"Love to watch you leave" isn't mean at all... it's a quotation from Face/Off.

I prefer PPSC, although I play WTA games occasionally.
Centurian (3257 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Too many top players are WTA only for this to get off the ground I think.
Dunecat (5899 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Hardly. 4/7 with a couple days to go? I've seen games start with worse odds. For anybody who's reading and hasn't commented in the thread, it's at 4/7 right now. PM me or reply to the thread if you want the password.
Dunecat (5899 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
5/7 now. Only two slots left to fill with more than two days remaining in the join period.
Centurian (3257 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Ok, its probably going to start, you were right. I take it all back.
Babak (26982 D(B))
10 Sep 09 UTC
i'd be inclined to create a 300 or 500 pt WTA game if there are 6 takers... it can be anonymous...

who would be interested?
dave bishop (4694 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
Am I missing something, but it seems to me that a 55o point buy in must mean a 3500 pot. So why say both in the title?
dave bishop (4694 D)
10 Sep 09 UTC
*500 point buy in
Troodonte (3379 D)

@Dunecat
just to let you know that I am buying Frank Herbert's Dune books :) and I'll read it in english; for me it can be an adventure.

Hey Dunecat, I'm down if there's still a slot. I really don't have the time/ability to focus anymore (I just started law school), but I'm always happy for another chance to rearrange your face! :P
Also: Dune movie; quite possibly the worst I've ever seen, despite having Patrick Stewart.

Rule clarification
Take a look at waht ahppened in Munich on this map... It looks like Munich held off a 2 strong attack with no support. Munich move to sil with support from berlin, which was cut. and so failed. Rhue move to munich with support form kiel should have failed when munich failed to move to sil. then Tyr to Munich supported form Boh should have dislodge the single strength of the unit in Munich.

OR am I wrong and if so how come?

Question Regarding Support
My apologies if this is posted elsewhere but I have been unable to find the answer to this query. If country A attacks county B and country C support moves A to B while country D support holds country C and country E moves to country C. Does the support move issued by C help the A move into B? Or does the attack by E cut the entire Change?
