I hate gunboats - vDiplomacy

19 Sep 24 UTC	I also kind of hate gunboats, at least as countries that are too busy fighting for SCs to signal.Also, some people don't open the big map view and so don't see failed supports, or worse, they misinterpret the window map when it clumps up the supports in a way that makes your support for them look worse than the support your enemy gave, even though you both did the same thing. ( The last reason is more about smaller maps tho, since this doesn't matter in WWIV)
19 Sep 24 UTC	Agreed on all accounts. Personally I feel it dismisses essentially the largest part of diplomacy. Small maps, sure, I can see how it's a fun alternative, but on larger maps, especially Europa Renovatio where it's if anything more common than full press, it's literally just luck to some extent how things play out for you. Through just a desperate message alone I cant tell you how many times Ive managed to turn a situation on its head, and even more so it allows for a solid characterization of what kind of players you're dealing with. Ugh, yeah I can go on, but I think Ive sworn to myself several times that I'll never join another huge gunboat.
