Stalemate lines in Modern Dip
When they say (ie. Diplomacy strategy articles, etc) there is a Rostov-Caucasus-Iran stalemate line, they must also assume you also have control of the (Eastern) Black Sea? Would a Georgia-Azerbaijan-Iran line not be the same then? What would you need to control on the west side to make sure this line is effective? Also what is the Alexandria/Eastern Sahara/Ionian/Adriatic (articles only use 2 names but they're not consistent) line I keep reading about? Can someone actually describe this line?

WWI Duo?
It is in the offical diplomacy rulebook (mine at least) and seems to be a favourite setup for teamgames, is there any plans to make a WWI 1v1?

First: http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2391
England/Turkey VS. I figured this might be balanced, England's proximity making up for Turkey's build superiority. We'll see.

Second: Oli, this is fucking brilliant and I love you 'til the end of time.

Strategy Question...
Is there ever a strategic reason to postpone a build? Instinctively, I say nay, but this game is so well conceived and elegantly thought out, there must be a reason that it's an option. Any of you seasoned generals have any notions?

It is proper etiquette to accept a draw if you are going to win?
For the sake of argument, lets say in a no-messaging game that all the other players have moved to draw and moved to traditional stalemate positions, but you still have a strong position to win with 10 scs and two weak neighbors.

Apologies
My noble diplomacy players, I would just like to apologize for my failure my recent 4 games, my Internet decided to die, and so i was forced to CD from all of my games. I will most likely be leaving for the summer, so better sooner then later. I wish i could have finished off my games, but seeing how I only managed to get on at the library, I will not be able to finish them. Espcially the WWI and II games that may be totally messed up now. Anywho, I will see you all in the fall

Moderators
I am currently in a game FOW with no ingame messaging at all. One country was defeated very early on, Austria. I can't understand how Italy is doing so well without any messaging of any type! Are there any mods who can take a look please?
http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2062

...how do you even know how well Italy is doing?
ashleygirl (1285 D)
10 Jun 11 UTC
Good point Pres. In the future tricky, please, no discussing ongoing games in the forum. If you have a concern you can email a mod or send him a PM. Discussing gunboats is taboo.
Unless you are Italy, in which case... er... this would probably be vague self-flattery, I think...? But we can't see the game, so it's not really working...

Oh, I should note. We can't see the game. So if you want my opinion... I can't give it. ;>_>

We can't talk about the game? how do we raise any concerns about the game? E-mail who btw?

I know how he's doing because he's already destroyed Austria and has four units bearing down on the Turkey! All in the space of a few years!

It's good that he / she is doing well, just can't believe it could be so unanimously well under the circs of no communication what so ever in the game!

Sorry to sound a little dense, how do I send a PM?

"I know how he's doing because he's already destroyed Austria and has four units bearing down on the Turkey! All in the space of a few years! "

Tricky, what's the sense of a FoW if you tell everybody what's going on in the game in a public chat ?!?

What's the sense of an anonymous game if you tell everybody you're Turkey?

You joined this site a few weeks ago, so I believe you're forgivable. But please don't ever say anything in the forum about gunboat/FoW/anonymous ongoing games!

Fair point everybody although Hellenic riot has got completely the wrong end of my intentions! The matter has been resolved.
Daiichi (1339 D)
10 Jun 11 UTC
and what was the solution?

BTW, yes, no talk about ongoing games, but only as long as strategy is involved. And in case of no-mesg FoW, no talk about anything that gives information about the current situation. So agreed with the people here.
(except in the part where annon are concerned, since i have revealed myself in the forum in annon games several times, and that only affects people who want to metagame by checking my previous games and thus lear my way of play, which is metagaming in any case, be it annon or not, and should be banned, although is very difficult to prove)

What i try to say apart from all that long bracket, is that, triky, ask the question using general info, not specific, next time. Ie: "Can a mod look at the performance and it's legality of certain country in a annon, FoW game? If so, how do i contact a mod so that he takes a look at it?"
And the rest of you, give the novice a rest.

"checking my previous games and thus lear my way of play, which is metagaming in any case, be it annon or not, and should be banned" <---
sorry but are you gone mad?
Looking at your games and your moves is metagaming? wtf? lol....
Barcelona play against Madrid, but they are not allowed to study their players and tactics? that's bullshit ;)

If you reveal yourself in an annon game then you have to live with the fact that people may know your style of play and tactics...

Team Choas Gunboat addition
As everyone knows, team games are rather popular, however something I have yet to see is a team gunboat, were your not allowed to stab people, but your not allowed to talk to them either. Lets make it more epic with a team chaos gunboat. Thoughts?
