23 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Mapu): This map has some glitches on webdip around the Black Sea and in Antarctica. I wonder if they are fixed on vdip. Regardless, it should be fun.
24 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (y2kjbk): What's the Black Sea glitch?
24 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Mapu): I forget exactly which center(s) it is or are but I know it is missing orders for certain supports and/or convoys. Apologies for not being more specific -- it's been a couple of years since I encountered it. Hopefully no one runs into it this game.
24 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (y2kjbk): I know the Antarctica bug is fleets being able to move VOS <--> DDU
24 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): Can you message the mods and ask if they coded it or imported it from Web Dip and let us know?
24 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): The Mod team has alleviated my concerns: "I know many of the issues found at webDip for this variant have been fixed here. You can chack the connections for any variant by going to: variant home page -> map info -> selecting a territory to check connection as you can see the VOS <-> DDU connection has been fixed http://vdiplomacy.com/edit.php?variantID=2&mode=all&edit=off&mapsize=small&mapmode=all&terrID=127&terrID=80 if any issues do arise whilst playing this game out, please don't hesitate to let us know and it will be fixed asap."
25 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (kaner406): I love the game titles you make for this game.
25 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): Thanks!
25 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Hirnsaege): looking forward to this – i like this map, it's just that WWIV-map shines oh so brighter that this one is forgotten.
25 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Hirnsaege): just to make sure: was invited, but never played in the cloak&dagger-series – is there anything special (rules etc) to know?
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (goldfinger0303): Wooooo, welcome! Yeah, any special rules to cloak and dagger games? Honored to be here. Also, is the Ukraine-Poland canal fixed on this one?
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): I like WWIV 6.2 a lot, but it's a monster match and I can only handle playing once in a while. I've never played this variant, but it looks pretty tight, i.e., no wasted space, which I like. Re. Cloak & Dagger: I started this series to explore new variants and foster a committed group of quality players. Players from the most recent game are always given first crack at the next game (and then other past players from the series, followed by players from the vDip HOF list). Occasionally, we return to a previously played variant as well, but I keep the games varied overall. There are no special requirements other than having a reliability rating of at least 80.
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): I really like WWIV 6.2, but it's a monster match, so I can only play once in a while (and I just completed one). I've never played this variant, but it looks really tight, i.e., no wasted spaces, which I like.
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (goldfinger0303): Just hope and pray you don't get South Africa, Libya or USA. In my experience, the worst countries on the map.
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): Re. Poland > Ukraine: There is no Poland/Ukraine canal in this version of the variant, so only armies can move between these two territories.
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (goldfinger0303): Wonderful. Second question - The title of this game is colored to a certain country when I receive a message right now. Is that the country I'll be assigned to?
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Hirnsaege): generally the colour should be randomized. if not it'd be a bug to be reported. on South Africa: i've won the variant with that over at webdip :)
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Hirnsaege): (that is on south africa)
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (Hirnsaege): color of the title should be random, if not then we'd better report this as a bug. remember the color you see now and compare it to what you are later.
26 Feb 15 UTC	Spring, 2000: (G-Man): Color of the title or lock icon? My game title is the same color as much of the other type and other game titles.
