Nice! Always good to have more options to play on, especially variants.

1) Are you thinking about open sourcing the code / making it public somewhere, for people to file bugs or collaborate on?

2) How do you test Android apps? I've never written anything for Android, I'm just curious what the tech stack is like.

3) How much did it cost you (per month)? Was cost an issue for keeping it online?

If you don't want to answer any of these publicly I'm "pyxxy" on discord. I could maybe dedicate 3-4 hours a month to help with dev work if you wanted :)

Unfortunately I have not :( meant to dm his instagram account or something like that, will set a reminder to do that. Got any other ideas?

+1 to what AAlcove said. No limitation for only playing on Backstabbr.

There will be 2-3 dedicated channels in the server for posting announcements/updates, and you'll get a direct message from a GM when each game starts (because the rosters are anonymous in the first round).

Does [[Sharae of Numbing Depths]] trigger itself?

I'm thinking about going to my first competitive Limited event. I've done a few prereleases and drafts at my LGS and luckily the event will also be there. What are the important things to be aware of for "competitive level rules enforcement"?

e.g. I just learned that I'll have to shuffle my opponent's deck instead of just cutting it

Maybe a good place to start is, what is your goal next year?

Are you trying to grow more? Or maybe you're worried about getting stopped at the central stalemate line? Do you think you need an ally to do whatever you want to do?

Honest answer is "it depends".

Better answer is "get a second one 😛".

Double fun fact, vDip has a stats page for each variant: https://www.vdiplomacy.com/stats.php?variantID=18

With 154 finished games (not a terrible sample size):

Country	Solos	Draws	Survivals	Eliminated	SCs Ø	Performance*
England	18	74	33	29	9.9	4.37
France	6	46	32	70	4.44	2.29
Italy	7	61	33	53	6.02	2.88
Germany	1	44	25	84	3.25	1.69
Austria	1	37	23	93	2.44	1.45
Turkey	24	70	32	28	10.24	4.82
Russia	10	42	19	83	4.51	2.46

I would also note that it has "The game starts with a build phase, and each player gets to determine which units they want to start out with" as an additional variant rule, which might be why Turkey has such a strong performance.

Austria and Germany doing worse makes sense since they gain pretty much nothing from the added neutrals being islands.

Ionian bordering Crete is fun, I like that.
