No, I had to go to the office. For that reason I did not see England's slide from 203-3 to 238 all out in the first test against India either. Regards Peter ...

Sounds a bit goofy to me, but then, if I read that in a set of houserules, it would probably cause me to not play for that GM. If it's in the houserules, it's...

... Is there any safety valve to prevent a 17SC power with a stone cold cert enforcable solo from being robbed? Or have I missed something? As Bill said, its...
I sure hope so. But I'd be inclined to doubt it. I'd also have to agree that those house rules (however well intentioned) differ enough from the rules that...

Anyone interested in playing an oddity? Knowing and listening to others comment about RPs 'buggy' solution set for adjudicating I had a mind to run a variant...

O is it? Well, I guess its with variants then. I've been in a few variants lately where the GM primarily adjudicates using RP but the results have at least one...
... This is probably because of the way that RP works. There is the program with the adjudication algorithm and then there is a map file which relates to the...
... Lessee, GM doesn't check adjudicator program results, players must use order syntax which adjudicator can understand, GM takes no responsibility for...
If that's a link to some kind of judge adjudicator you missed my point. I was under the impression RP was still 'bug-ridden', and was going to use my results...
If I'm not mistaken - and I don't think I am - Diplomacy was set at the beginning of the Great War, i.e. 1914, and only uses 1901 as a start date for the game...

Actually Bill, that doesn't sound quite right to me either. The Pragmatic Sanction by King Charles VI(?) as early as 1713 may have brought Austria and Hungary...
