This is likely to be my last forum post.
I'm sure the mods are pissed and I don't give a fuck. I could use a break anyhow. So silence or banhammer away.

What's the point in muting a nation in non-anon if the mods will let the player PM you?
A player PMed me after I muted his nation and the mods said it's not against the rules. It would seem to me to violate the intent of the press rules if not the letter. I have since muted the player for the rest of the game but that was not my desire.

Known World Tournament
Awhile back, kaner proposed a Known World gunboat tournament in which 15 participants would play 15 games, one with each nation. I searched back for the thread, then just decided to start a new one. I want to see if there would be sufficient interest in this to try to get it off the ground.

finding replacement for game 34637
Due to outside circumstances, I find I am not able to continue to fully participate in the Embassy Cable game (Gobble Earth variant). The game is currently on an extend phase for another day, so if anyone is willing to take over for Mexico (solid position) please let me know so we can have the mods put you into the game. Thanks!

Unique convoy situation question
I never thought this was possible until someone suggested it, but I have yet to try it. Say you have an army in Spain, a fleet in Marseilles, and a fleet in Gulf of Lyon. The fleet in Marseilles moves to Spain and the army in Spain moves to Marseilles via convoy of Gulf of Lyon. I know in normal Diplomacy rules that two units can't switch locations like that, but does the convoy change the route the army takes at all to allow this?

FoW padlocks
FoW variant has padlocks on all powers that have orders to give. This gives other players information about who has a retreat/build etc. I propose that these are removed so that this information isn’t revealed.

Quick Rules Question
In Classic, I am confident if an army in Portugal Attacks Spain while an Army in Spain attacks Portugal, both will fail. Would this rule still apply if the it were instead a fleet on the northern coast attacking Portugal and a fleet in Portugal moving to the southern coast?

Our game bugged out, and mods are looking at it. What do we do and what will happen?
So basically, We were playing World War IV 6.2. It was the first time we got our community of players, both on a subreddit and a discord, to play a big 36 player game. Didn't start 100% the best the first year, some players didn't get the rules and ended up starting with 2 units instead of 3.
Docsy (981 D)

Also, one player kept moving their unit into another one of their units. https://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=35541

But we had a bug. I believe because one of our players tried to spawn two units in Washington DC, one unit spawned across the continent in the US state of Washington. That player hasn't done that well this game due to the circumstances, and the unit in Washington state interfered with some strats of Western states in North America.

The mod came in, and paused our game after a year, to have the siterunner Oli look at it. We're not sure what happens next, tbh. Some of us are concerned the game might be reset or ended, and we'd prefer the game just not have global statistics (if that's a concern of this sorta thing) but that might be hard.

A few have said maybe a reset for fairness would be best, but most are against it since we're already attached to the game and we're worried people might fall off the player list if a reset happens. We're also debating if we should just restart ourselves since some people didn't get the rules and the game was broken. We'd all start as different countries, to prevent metagaming about previous strategies.

What do you guys think about all this?

I think they have the ability to roll back phases on a game so maybe that's an option so you won't lose people. That being said -- that map can take many months to play so plan on losing some people, especially new players, regardless.

Mapu, ofc. we do have backup players to swap in. but not that many, it'd be a shame to need to use some off the back.

but, rollback seems like it might be a bit unfair at this point. not sure tho.
