Do you somehow expect me to have predicted this event? I am much newer to Diplomacy than yourself, and possess a great deal less technical knowledge. I cannot be expected to understand every nuance and subtlety. It makes sense to me that this should be how things function. It is your prerogative to disagree, but as I said, unless you get a majority of the other players to agree with you, I doubt I will change it.

It doesn't seem like a fitting change to me! You're admitting that the rules don't say that this is correct, but doing it anyway? The fact that this is the only exception they mention would seem to imply to me that it is the only exception. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> First of all, a lesson in life: trying to strongarm someone in a position of authority rarely works. Fortunately for you, I have not based my decision upon this. Nothing is static; all things change. Given your thorough knowledge of the rules, I would have thought you would understand this is true of Diplomacy as well. Do not try to deny it. There have been new strategies, new subtleties, even new updates. It makes sense, in these settings, that if a supporting unit is supported, it cannot be directly attacked. It merely requires a slight extension of existing rules in ways already applied to non-supporting units. Given that I am GM, the final decision is mine, unless you are able to present a majority vote of no confidence by the OBS-03 players.

It never explicitly says it in the rules, but it never explicitly denies it either. All games evolve. This would seem to me a fitting change. It makes tactical and realistic sense.

Jags is right. The Russian order to Bul succeeds. However, I believe you are wrong, Reveilled. Germany's A Hol supported its F Bel, thus preventing you from disrupting its support to English F Lon.

Check first post.

Sometimes, I truly love the intarweb.

Regardless, you are a disturbed individual. I pity your child, should there in fact be one. His/Her therapy will be quite expensive.

I assume you are trying to release all wackiness from your system in one giant burst of MAPD (Multiple Account Personality Disorder), an entirely fake condition I just made up, before the infant arrives?

He was rather lacking in personality there compared to his alternate incarnation.

I havent adjudicated this turn yet, the orders from last turn are still up.

Id already seen it.

Blasphemy! This is Black Mage, chaotic minion of destruction! All know and fear him! P.S. Hes from the webcomic 8-Bit Theater

Heh. For a second, I thought you were Hades, and I was wondering: first, why you were nervous, and second, why you felt the need to tell us this in the OBS-03 Diplomacy Thread.

Im running late and rather busy, so expect the adjudication around approx. 2130 UTC.

You could hunt for an albino animal, preferably a squirrel, but anything will do.

Indeed. Mets, you really need to do something with this thread before the game falls apart completely.

Burt Reynolds was the star of the original The Longest Yard. Which is why he was in the remake.

The ice or fire ones? Also, that is by far the most awesome monkey ever. Hooray Gibbon!

By my complex and mind-boggling calculations, 6:40 + 3 = 9:40. It is now 11:05. Can we expect adjudication soon?

Comment #1: If that is true, you are perhpas as lucky as you are easily offended. Comment #2: He seems a great deal less upset, if he is disturbed at all by this exchange, than yourself, sir. Pot, kettle, black.

Dunno. Never seen it. I just have a good memory. Sandler's most recent movie was that remake of The Longest Yard. It wasnt good at all. 50 First Dates was a year or two before that.

Which moiither fuicker was respoinsible foir the satte oifi ignuis, vhailoir, and woirst oif all deioinarra? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Way to use the broken keyboard to your advantage! Also, what does satte mean? Im assuming you mean death, but how the hell did you misspell it that badly?

Kirottu left out a few steps. You have to connect your mirror to the internet, sacrifice an intelligent being in front of it and record as video, send Volo an email linking the video and telling him you completed the sacrifice (for redundancy's sake), say the words, then wait anywhere from a few minutes to days for a typed response. Volo is a busy deity; he has many followers and they all demand attention. Do not even expect Volourn to actually correspond with you. He has many servants who do his bidding and copy/paste or use a rubber stamp to get his signature.

The Constant Gardener. Also, Im gearing up for Serenity which comes out 3 weeks from today. Ill probably watch Firefly again.
