[Macros]

[Antrax]

My embassy is open. I'm obe of the new players, so the fact I haven't replied to your emails yet doesn't mean I hate you, just that I'm slow and it takes me forever to make sense from your emails. At least I didn't get turkey again =P
Antrax

------------------
I'm cool, really

[Macros]

not a complaint, but how will we send orders without territory labels? its ok for the experienced players, but i omly kmow 6/7 off by heart

[Mr. President]

Rats, how did I miss the sign up?

[Macros]

ignore my last question, see the blank map now

[Antrax]

Shouldn't the seas have funny names, as well?
Antrax

------------------
I'm cool, really

[Antrax]

Why can't you just use the same map ChienFou used? It had a lot of cool names. And it looked nicer, too.
Antrax

------------------
I'm cool, really

[Fried Egg]

Well, the I'm generating the map from the same program.

As far as the names are concerned, I've stuck them on a seperate map (Click on the "Blank Map" link) to reduce clutter. However, if it is the general consensus that it is better to have names on the same map as the units, I will put them back on.

[Antrax]

AFAIK I'm one of three new players, so I think that would be advisable.
Antrax

I'm cool, really

[Fried Egg]

OK, OK, I'll get right on it...

[Macros]

you better!

[mith]

Any chance you can make the deadline a little later in the day? I'm never awake at 8am.

[Fried Egg]

OK, I'll make the deadline 18:00 (BST).

Is everyone happy with that?

[Fried Egg]

Just as long as you're not saying anything important that I actually need to understand...

[Macros]

just bumping this page up so i'll see it and thus not forget about it

[Fried Egg]

You just don't want anyone to forget about you, do you?

[Fried Egg]

There's a report of e-mailss being bounced from Antrax's mailbox...

Any problems there?

[Antrax]

Not that I know of...
Weird.
Antrax

------------------
I'm cool, really

[Fried Egg]

6 hours and nine minutes to go to the deadline...

[Fried Egg]

Map updated!

It is now Fall 1901.

[KrankiHund]

It would be helpful if the orders were published on the site. judge format would be fine

eg Germany, F Den-Kie, A Mun H, A Ber-Kie

I for one shall be tracking my game with realPolitik, and sometimes one has to guess otherwise

[Antrax]

What about this?
Antrax

------------------
I'm cool, really

[KrankiHund]

I'm such a stupid doggie, that's why I'm still icarian

btw, My order for Munich was A Mun H, there's a subtle difference

[KrankiHund]

There are differences between NMR and Hold if a unit is dislodged. This can't happen in the opening move so it doesn't matter. I mark an NMR if there was genuinely a NMR. It's not that I don't love the EuroFizz swilling citizens of Muenchen - I just don't want them going on holiday for six months in North africa and tasting the delights of the kasbah, they'd be totally impossible to control if they did.

[Fried Egg]

What difference does it make to dislodgement whether a unit holds or recieves no order? I didn't think that, in RealPolitik, you could tell a unit to hold.

[AhoInu]

Use the move Icon, and double click the unit. It now appears as X Aaa Hold

14.3 CIVIL DISORDER
If a player leaves the game, or fails to submit orders in a given Spring or Fall season, it is assumed that civil government in his country has collapsed. His units hold in position, but do not support each other. If they are dislodged, they are disbanded. No new Units are raised for this country. A player who temporarily fails to submit orders may, of course, resume play if he returns to the game and still has some units left. It is probably more desirable, if sufficient persons are present, to allow a person who has not previously had a country (or failing that, whose country has already been eliminated from play) to replace any player who has left the game. Players should decide what policies they will follow in this regard in advance of starting the game.

I've not checked Realpolitik to see if this applies to a single unit with a NMR

[Fried Egg]

Ahh...I didn't realise that you could give a HOLD order to a unit in RealPolitik. I see now that you can.

As I interpret those rules, I would assume that it only applied if no moves whatsoever were received for a particular player. In the case of RealPolitik, I notice that it does not implement that rule for either a single unit or all units when they are dislodged.

However, I will ensure that HOLD orders are issued appropriately in future.

[Fried Egg]

Hmmm...I stand corrected...RealPolitik does implement the rules for civil disorder and automatically disbands dislodged units that had received no order.

I can't believe I'd never noticed that before!

[Macros]

bump

[AhoInu]

Typical, it takes me to make people see sense. Nobody listens to KrankiHund (well, why should we?)

[Fried Egg]

Still waiting for orders from Italy (Mith) and England (Antrax)...

[Antrax]

Posted an absence thread. Orders in an hour or two.
