17 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: (broesph): when do countries get assigned to players? :)
17 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: (mikelmask): OK, I am in. I have never played this variant before.
18 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: (RobotOverlord): @broeph once all players join they well be assigned
18 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: (flamableconcrete): Who has never played before? (raises hand)
18 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: I've played the original
18 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: I played the original in College a lot. But that was 20+ years ago, so I'm sure I've forgotten everything I knew. No need to worry about me.
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: Never played before, either. I'm looking forward to defending the honor of the Mexican Empire as Porfirio Díaz.
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: am I missing something? the intro page at http://www.vdiplomacy.com/intro.php shows boats/tanks and full country names. the map I'm seeing is almost only showing 2- or 3-letter abbreviations for countries. is there another map we can access?? I tried popping it out but it's just the same map.
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: oh I see, we're not playing the standard diplomacy map. for those looking up acronyms, the page is here: http://www.variantbank.org/results/rules/i/imperial2.htm
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: though thats just start location acronyms :)
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: Orders due by 9 or 9:53? Game clock says 9:53.
19 Nov 15 UTC	Spring, 1861: Yes that is correct. Sorry it was less detailed last night. =)
19 Nov 15 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [Russia]:Hey All, looking at the orders that were placed and failed, I recommend people review the rules regarding supporting units. Go CHAR!
19 Nov 15 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [Russia]:One other reminder, to "capture" a supply center (marked with white circles and squares) you must hold them at the end of the Autumn Phase (i.e. this turn).
19 Nov 15 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [Prussia]:Note also: "New units may be created at any of the player's unoccupied home supply centers". On this board, those are the supply centers made with a square. So if you conquer 10 territories, but only have 5 home supply centers empty, you can only build 5 new units.
20 Nov 15 UTC	Autumn, 1861: [USA]:...and that is only if the home supply centers are unoccupied.
