BlaDipNES - A Fresh Start

Indeed, but A mar s (Italy) A ven-pie works fine. As noted, I didn't expect jDip to accept my orders as I didn't know what name you had used. I wasn't expecting to be talking directly to a program.
 
Yes, I see that now. Good to know for the future. That still changes nothing of what I've said. You are there to arbitrate the game, that's your job and not that of the program. My orders were not illegal, nor were they ambiguous, hence they should be accepted. There's nothing else to it. Just go redo the update, this discussion will lead nowhere else.
 
Okay you really need to redo this. We were never told at any point especially before the game even started that we were just playing jdip basically. This is the problem if you change it to have Niklas' order involved no harm done and we will use your format like you have asked but if you do not I can not play a game where no comon sense or intuitiveness is used by the mod. You said this was a NESdip so how bout you start acting like amod of a game by moderating rather than just feeding orders into our current Mod Mr. Jdip.
 
Hmm, tis better to be a puppet mod of the program, or to be a puppet mod of a certain two players? That is the question.

I say, in all my independent-thinking modular wisdom, that we shall put it to a vote! No jDip for this one! 8 players, 8 votes. yea or nea?

Shall the update be redone in Carthage-NorthernItalianEmpire's favor?

And, of course, as President of the BlaDipNES Senate, I get the tie-breaking vote.

That's what the WedNESday deadline is now for, though I do encourage everyone to vote quickly.

Also, for fun, you can include this vote as part of your normal diplomacing with your fellow players.
 
Puppet of two players?? Players who simply ask you to follow common sense? A vote??? I don't believe this...

This is not about in who's favor it is. I don't particularly gain or lose anything from this. This is about common sense. Which you seem to be lacking. I'm not asking you to "do my will", I'm asking you to be sensible. There is absolutely no question what would be the right thing to do. I can't believe you're even arguing this!

EDIT: I will ask all players to abstain their vote. This is a farce. The mod should do the right thing without being prompted by the players to do so.
 
Huh? What right thing did you do? Last year when you refused my ill-written hasty orders for F apu that should have been F nap, you did the right thing. I didn't argue. This time, there's no question whatsoever that you did not do the right thing.

You're like a football judge who decides to dismiss a goal because it was done with the left foot instead of the right one...
 
I thought this one might be more ambiguous, which is why I posted the warning right after your orders well ahead of the deadline, which I think evened out the rightness of it all.

From my POV it's like a ref dismissing a goal both when it was done with the left hand and with the right.
 
lurker's comment: This is ridiculous. The only reason there's a mod is so that they can interpret orders. It's stupid to require that orders be in any particular format, because that's not in the manual. I have to agree with Niklas-USE COMMON SENSE! Or if you're unwilling to do that, at least PM the player asking them to fix it if it's clear what they're trying to do.
 
It is not just a fleet support that did not get its move. It is a fleet support a move into ion and another fleet taking its spot. Currently 2 of my units are behind all other players except LI but that is a different situation.

TBR you obviously need to put your self into my shoes look at the possible choices for me on the next turn I could have helped LightFang with the fleet by disrupting one of Foozicaba's attacks and maybe even allowing him to take a Supply Center. I also theoretically could attack Carthage if I wanted to this is not just one Move that was disrupted It was 3 units moves that spans over 2 countries and seriously sets back plans of my nation and the rest of the countries in the south.
 
It is also a matter of principle. It is a matter of a supposedly impartial mod stepping in and changing the outcome of the game.

@jal: Thanks for the support. You are too right.
 
Well, I was going to vote for a support in changing, but Niklas said not to vote.

So, um...abstain. :E
 
sorry Niklas but I think we need to fix this problem and move on.

I vote YEA
 
So, were my orders late then?

I want to see this turn redone, partly for my own selfish reasons (wanting to survive long enough to challenge Finland) and partly because I support hs' struggle here.
 
I support HS in this.

and Iggy DID say he was going to be away the whole time. There IS a reason for the orders due thread, after all.
 
Yeah, on second thought, screw Niklas and his morals. If voting is what'll get things done, then voting shall happen.

I vote for redoing the moves.
 
Sorry I dont think we should redo the update people see moves and now more trouble would be made. Perhaps TBR can add in your orders when he redoes it with the naval support.

Right now it is 5 people who support my views and 3 people who either dont care or have not voted not including you the mod.
