Bounce question

I really should know this, but thought I'd double check.

Let's say I have an SC that I want to build in. I move a unit out.I then send 2 units to both "attack" that SC. Now let's say one of my opponents attack the SC too, but support it. Now a straight 2 vs 2 results in a bounce, but what about a 2 vs 1 vs 1?

Support Rules and Dislodgings

I'm guessing you guys play by strange rules. I've never seen this not happen outside of here: One, if a force gets dislodged, the move cuts supports/convoys. Two, to cut a support/convoy, it has to get moved towards. The supporting or convoying unit doesn't have to actually get dislodged.

Is Diplomacy Ultimately About Luck

Years ago when I first bought the board game for a group of friends, some of them didn't want to play because they saw the game was all about luck. That idea still rings in my mind from time to time.

Is Norway Undervalued in 1066?

Something I notice when playing 1066 (v2) is that England and Normandy always do battle, and Norway usually has a lot of leeway to mop things up. I guess the larger size of the North Sea spaces give the illusion that Norway is farther away, but in reality, it's just two spaces away just like Normandy.

Germany still has over 20 SCs, and Italy looks like it's going to overrun. We could use a German player to keep things balanced.

Rational Moves Test

You guys could really use some sort of test to license people to play games in. It's annoying when irrational players ruin the game for rational players by allowing third players to win after overrunning them.

Does Drawing in WTA Backfire?

I was wondering if the logic behind WTA draws isn't necessarily reliable. Draws allow people to make alliances, and instead of drawing against the solo winner, they simply draw among themselves instead of pursuing a solo victory. Is there a way to disable drawing so this doesn't happen?

Does Anyone Want to Play a Live Classic?

It's the weekend, so I figured maybe there's a handful of several people who want to play a classic game with 10 minute turns.

Please post here if you're interested. I'll check in regularly over the new few hours in case there's interest.

out of interest - what variant would you like to see as FoW?

This is purely out of interest. Add your variant of choice below, or if it is already on the list add a +1 to it. For me it would be:

Now that the Imperium game is concluded and I am eliminated, I will be leaving this site. I will be finishing my current games, but I will not be dealing with the tournament anymore. I'm sure that people can take charge of making sure the remaining games get started.

Well, Rat Wars looks interesting. I wish we could see what's going on. It should be a good battle to the finish!

Captainmeme (1400 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

The AncMed Round has finished, with Drano and Beaulemioux securing their places in the final and Jimbozig, Lief and I going to the Second Chance round. I wonder who will be joining us...

Captainmeme (1400 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

Also, here's the current standings of the remaining nine:

Beaulemioux: Played 6, Won 5

Drano019: Played 6, Won 5

Jimbozig: Played 6, Won 5

Lief_Syverson: Played 6, Won 4

Captainmeme: Played 5, Won 4

Gantz: Played 5, Won 4

Bozo: Played 5, Won 3

Ender: Played 5, Won 3

MyLAAN: Played 5, Won 2

After the Rat Wars battle, what is the next variant to be played?

BeauLemioux (1905 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

I found this, I don't think it changed:

"
Top 3 of Classic and top 2 of Imperium play Ancient Med, losers from Classic Rat wars.

Top 2 of AncMed gets to play Hundred, while the winner of Rat Wars (rats fight till the end!) play loser from AncMed in yet another Rat Wars, whose winner gets to Hundred.

Winner of Hundred is winner since we don't want to play 2 player maps and so the double elimination is eliminated from the final step ;)
"

kaner406 (2103 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

So there is one more Rat Wars before the final?

Leif_Syverson (1626 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

So just to clarify, winner of the current Rat Wars advances to another Rat Wars with Captainmeme, myself and Jimbozig, and the winner of that Rat Wars then advances to the Hundred game (the final) with BeauLemioux and drano019, the winner of which (no draws allowed then?) is the WhittleDown tournament winner.

Has this any of this record (standings, outcomes, process, etc.) been posted on that tournaments wiki page you had kaner? (or is that why you are asking?) What is that wiki page address again? I apparently didn't bookmark it.

Captainmeme (1400 )
11 Feb 13 UTC

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Whittle_Down_Tournament

I basically copied and pasted the forum overview into it, added an introduction and rules, and an explanation of the Rat Wars rounds. It could use a bit of improvement though.

Captainmeme (1400 )
12 Feb 13 UTC

I've added a load of information about this tournament and player statistics in the wiki. If anyone wants to edit the 'Forum Overview' section to actually give rules rather than just quoting a forum post, it would be much appreciated.

kaner406 (2103 )
12 Feb 13 UTC

Love your work!

drano019 (2710 )
12 Feb 13 UTC

Way to go Captainmeme! Excellent additions to the wiki! Especially love the stat chart!

BeauLemioux (1905 )
13 Feb 13 UTC

I can't believe this started roughly one year ago, and it's not over yet.

drano019 (2710 )
26 Feb 13 UTC

Bump. Just keeping this alive. : )

myLAAN (1109 )
28 Feb 13 UTC

Bump. Hang in there guys, we're slowly finishing the bloody Rat Wars!

drano019 (2710 )
28 Feb 13 UTC

May the best Rat win! Aaaaaaand then win again! Hurry up already, us people in the winner's bracket are getting bored : p

butterhead (1272 )

lol this is the longest tournament ever! hope someone is planning on having a second one eventually, I want to try my luck again!

Captainmeme (1400 )
05 Mar 13 UTC

Bump. Rat Wars finished not long ago, with a solo from Bozo.

This means that that the players in this Rat Wars are:

Bozo
Jimbozig
Lief_Syverson
Captainmeme

With Drano and Beaulemioux through to the final. Is everyone in this round happy to start it soon?
