@ Whenever someone pm's me in Diplo. I assume they are trying to soften me up for a massive stab. (suppose it's to do with bitter experience more than the pm'ing itself :x ). Lies, lies I tell you! If I'm PMing you its because I want you to stab someone else ... it's rude to say that sort of thing ...

Wrong! Trust me, you can still target with bombers keeping them behind your bb's to take out fighters or other ships moving in. Heh, it just takes a lot more time and effort because if you get into a full scale naval battle before defcon 1 you have to target and re-target everything. Right, I'll ha...

Slight topic bump, but due to the demise of the 1v1 ladder I've been playing a lot of diplo recently, and premium diplo when possible Had a classic game recently, started with taking out 3 of my neighbours subs with battleships at defcon 3, which degenerated into a full micro fleet battle in Defcon ...

Suggested Standard Defcon Responses (S.S.D.R.) Solanum pm'ing you in Diplomacy: SORRY CAN'T HEAR U!! Dammit, that's what weps said to me last night :lol: (actually, he was ruder, but hey!) /me doesn't see why people get upset about PMing and backstabbing in diplomacy. Isn't that what the game is al...

I don't think that code cracking is a revealing trait for either a commie or an agent. Of the two codes cracked, one gave away an agent and the other gave away a communist operative, which is useful info for the enemy. Also, my understanding was that the first code was only verified after the Crypto...

OK then, I'll go MaximusBrood as well

*goes to retract previous votes ...

its pretty likely ynbniar was clean. ...Especially after voting for 200% communist. That's why I think he was clean - just not paying attention! Agents _will_ be paying attention. Also, if I were an agent, why would I draw attention to myself trying to save him when it was hopeless. Also, I'm not p...

Tripper. For keeping defending ybnbniar, who was about 100% enemy agent. How can you say that? We killed two of them, and there are three left. I doubt there were six to start with - 5 is a lot - so that means its pretty likely ynbniar was clean. In any case, I can't help you, if you choose to lync...

um, hello, I refused to vote for ynbniar who almost certainly wasn't an agent .. and now I am being bandwagoned!

well, whatever.

Feud again. No, scratch that, Mas Tnega[retracted]. Because if the agents are successful in bandwagoning me, it's sub-scuttling time. That simple.

Thanks all for replies! Due to direction of travels, I might be in Belgium / Netherlands early July. Or maybe November! As for Ireland (cycling round Ireland, now that's a really nice idea, why didn't I think of that) I probably wouldn't be there til winter :( Though Guinness tastes better then ... ...

ynbniar is mentioned in one of my red herring posts .. that isn't conclusive one way or another but I have a good feeling about him .. also no agent would be dumb enough to vote for the confirmed communist Feud like I said before. Not that that will make any difference I s'pose Cheers, Tripper

Hi All Just a blatant new thread to let everyone know that as of this time next week I'll have quit my day job and be off on around a six (6!!!) month holiday. Going to do Europe the slow way ... cycling with the occasional boat or train. So a couple of announcements - * I'm planning on roaming wide...

ZOMG THRAED HIJAX

I vote that people should lighten up
