21 Apr 21 UTC	Spring, 1870: (StarUnknown): oh cool i joined
03 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1871: Does this version require Egypt to okay movement through the Suez Canal?
06 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: Yes
06 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: The Suez-Canal: The player who controls Egypt with a unit can move an own or foreign fleet directly from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea (and vice versa), through the Suez Canal. Therefore the player can set an extra order to accord permission to a fleet in the Mediterranean or Red Sea. A fleet can only move directly between the Mediterranean and Red Sea if it gains permission by the player of the unit that occupies Egypt. If there is no unit in Egypt, there is no way to use the Suez Canal. On the map the given permission will be symbolized by a blue arrow around the Suez Canal pointing into that direction, a fleet could pass the Suez Canal (e.g. pointing towards the Red Sea, if the fleet in the Mediterranean Sea is allowed to use the Suez Canal). Important: Unlike stated in the original rules, you do not have to hold Egypt for the whole turn to be able to use the Suez Canal in this implementation. This decision was made to avoid tons of paradoxes which could occur with such conditional moves. Apart from this rule Egypt is analogous to Kiel, Constantinople or Denmark in the standard diplomacy.
06 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: i hate the suez
06 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: LOL britain ur funny
08 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: Hum, I have to retreat in Shangai, let’s try to make me evacuate it this fall
08 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: Good plan
08 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1872: xD
08 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1872: I wish this was anonymous game :P
14 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1873: I am lost : why my order irkusk support Omsk to vladivostok doesn’t bounce with Japanese attack ?
14 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1873: Look at the orders as they are written out in the Archive below, it says: The army at Omsk move to Krasnoyarsk via Trans-Siberian Railroad (tried to reach Vladivostok).
14 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1873: But I don’t know why it wasn’t able to pass over Irkutsk unless bc it was the unit supporting it into Vladivostok somehow makes it impassable.
14 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1873: Well, it is a bad surprise…
15 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1873: It says on the variant page "If a territory on the route is blocked, the TSR move will not have any effects on territories beyond the blockade. Instead the TSR unit will travel as soon as it gets and stops before the blockade (possibly queueing behind other Russian units)" That seems to imply you can't "leapfrog" over other units - even friendly ones.
15 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1873: But then would it have worked if he supported Irk to Vlad with Omsk?
15 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1873: I used to play on other sites which were accepting this kind of transsiberian move. Never minds… Each website have their specificities
24 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1875: Can I not use the railway?
24 May 21 UTC	Spring, 1875: Only the Russian player may use the TSR.
29 May 21 UTC	Autumn, 1875: Again a strange think with the TSR. I believe I should have bounced in Omsk without taking Vladivostok in that config. Anyway, this time it is favorable to me !
