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?

I have decided to take an indefinite hiatus from Diplomacy for IRL reasons.

I need a permanent replacement for four gunboat games three full press games and two public press games. PM if interested.

If your Hiatus in indefinite, maybe we should actully put the Players into your Position instead of just using Country Switch, so that your Substitute Players may gain (or lose) Points in the process? Otherwise the games will be transferred back to you after they end.

I disagree... if that's going to be the case, GOD, I don't want to babysit a losing position and get penalized for it and I will have to reconsider my offer.

The guys volunteering don't necessarily get a choice of refusing - and for the sake of the losing games, it's better to have an active player than a CD. Furthermore, you would be changing the rules for the guys already in place.

And I'm guessing, but resolution of Uber's RL stuff is impossible to forecast...
GOD (1850 D Mod (B))
29 Aug 18 UTC
Obviously. I wouldn't force Switch the positions anyway, but I'd like to give the Players the Option.

Well, then offer your replacement Players to Switch the positions "for real", getting a Rating at the end of the game and put a post in the mod Forum with the Players and games in question :)

And good luck to you, whatever you are up to!

That is perfectly understandable and that shows another problem caused by points and ranking systems : instead of simply taking a possibly strategically lost position for fun and in order to help a game keep its integrity, players will also consider the impact on their rating : even though they would happily get undeserved points for a position that they did not create, they are reluctant to lose points because of a disaster that they did not cause.

The solution is easy : let's get rid of those Ego points and, in the meantime, let's only play unrated games.

I would neither accept an unearned punishment for taking over a hopeless position, nor would I accept an unearned reward for taking over a strong position. Caretaking is simply caretaking, for the sake of keeping the game going as smoothly as possible and saving the other players from a game-warping disruption.
GOD (1850 D Mod (B))
29 Aug 18 UTC
Well in this case it's like taking over a CD position, only before the CD happened...
ubercacher16 (2169 D)
30 Aug 18 UTC
It's up to the replacement/caretaker what they want to do.
ubercacher16 (2169 D)
30 Aug 18 UTC
Only one game left.

I know it's hard to find someone since there are so many people in the game already.

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.
