It is now after 00:00 UTC on July 24, 2020, so the eighth negotiating phase has ended and the eighth orders phase has begun. Please submit your orders if you have not already. Please remember to include conditional orders for retreating because civil unrest never serves nations well. Also, since this is the fall, please include construction and disbandment.
There are two open proposals (Please vote on them as this is your last opportunity! Also, please submit any proposals for the next turn before 24:00 UTC): "for added confusion" {{ In the text "any Contestant CAN submit a proposal" in Rule 8, replace "Contestant" with "person". }} "Superpowers" {{ Enact a new rule with the following text: { Nations have the following "superpowers". (The names of the superpowers are immaterial.) * Austria: "Disruption field". Austria can issue the order "Disrupt X" to up to one unit each turn, where X is a territory reachable in one or two steps from that unit's territory (i.e. adjacent or adjacent to adjacent). The orders of the unit in territory X are overridden, and it is treated as having been ordered to "hold". * England: "Super-strength". Any unit can convoy any number of other units. Specifically: when England gives a convoy order, they only need specify that the unit "Convoy" without specifying a source or destination, and any number of England's other units can move through territories with non-displaced convoying units. * France: "Skin of stone". Any empty territory with an SC controlled by France is treated as having a French unit in it, unless a real French unit is ordered to move into it. For example, France can use a unit to support-hold an empty territory as if e had a unit there. * Germany: "Explosive force". Whenever a German movement is ordered to move out of a territory with an SC controlled by Germany, that movement is treated as having one additional support. * Italy: "Teleportation". When an Italian unit is at least three spaces away from every other Italian unit (i.e. it would take three movements to move between those territories), that unit is said to be "isolated". When a territory is empty and all its neighbouring territories are also empty, the territory is said to be "forgotten". For Italy's orders only, every isolated unit's territory is adjacent to every forgotten territory. * Russia: "Elongated arms". For Russian orders only, Mos is adjacent to Boh, and the coast of Sev and the two costs of Stp are all adjacent. * Turkey: "The ghost ship". If Turkey controls no supply centres, then e is still able to support one fleet, and if e does not have a fleet, e can build it (during the build stage) in any water territory. This exception does not apply if all three of Turkey's home SCs are controlled by the same Great Power. } }} -- ---- Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, Herald, Referee, Tailor, Pirate Champion, Badge of the Great Agoran Revival, Badge of the Salted Earth
