DIS: Re: OFF: [Arbitor] Court Gazette

2020-07-26 Thread Aris Merchant via agora-discussion
I sincerely apologize for the tardiness of CFJ 3866. Somehow I never even
saw that it was assigned to me (if I ever did, I've completely forgotten).
It's entirely my fault for not paying close enough attention to the lists.
If I'm still the judge (which I think I am, but the Arbitor might have
recused me in a message I missed I suppose), I'll have a decision out
within 24 hours. I'm very sorry.

Alright, I messed up on this.

Back in June you transferred all your cards to this contract. 
Unfortunately, I missed this transaction and it has long since

As a consequence, I'm not sure if the rest of the actions in this

H. Publius,

Another diplonomic rules question!

The original Diplomacy Rules say:

> came or to an "embattled" province, meaning one left vacant by a

(https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Diplomacy/Rules)

Current Rule 22 says:
> 22. A dislodged unit must retreat to an adjacent province. Retreats
> can’t be convoyed or supported. If two or more units are ordered to
> retreat to the same province, they all must be disbanded. If a country

Reading this on its own, you could retreat anywhere adjacent (even to
occupied territories!)  Obviously that's not true so there are limits not
explicitly spelled out in R22.  Do those limits apply to retreating to
"where the dislodging unit came from" or to "embattled but empty"
provinces under the current R22, as per the original Dip rules?

Thanks!
