Re: Throwing the game.

It seems to me that Russia is merely enforcing the old 'civil disorder' rule against himself.  That way he doesn't get a lower committment rating, but he ceases to directly influence the game.  I have always preferred the 'civil disorder' option to the delays inherent in punishing players for abandoning a game, and in having grace periods.  The person who bails cannot possibly get any points, he just saves himself time.  Besides, as long as he has not been replaced (which has always seemed strange to me) he can submit orders for a later turn, and make life harder for those who assume his missed turn means  that he has actually bailed.  I think that civil disorder is preferable to grace, pause and replacement.  After all, someone who must be absent temporarily can always request a delay.

Subject: [dpjudge] Throwing the game. 

I am in owls 244 game right now and Russia is throwing it.  He accused Italy and Austria of cheating.  When the game master stated there was nothing showing that and that many players play different ways he started entering all holds.  This in 1910.  Shouldn't players like this be band?
