Can't start a game against bots

#1 Post by GoldShockAttack » Thu May 16, 2024 10:45 pm

Hi, I was going to try playing diplomacy basically for the first time after watching some videos on it. So I tried a bot game and it was going well until 1908 when the game suddenly ended. I tried starting a new game, but they always end immediately. I wondered if it was an issue about being logged in, so I logged into my account (that I'd created awhile before, I had to reset my password to get in). Now when I try to start a game against a bot to practice and get familiar with the controls and rules, it says 601/600 games are started. Is there a way to get in a queue? I'd like to practice a bit before trying a real game. Thanks for the help!

I can't start a game either. God please bestow upon us the strength and genius of the mods

The site has received unexpectedly many requests recently, so some limits were put in place. Here's more info:

I think a queue doesn't exist, albeit making these limits permanent would call for one.

Are people still experiencing this? Whenever I try to create an AI game it works, except full press which is at the limit.

Yes. The limit appear to be sporadically being reached - sometimes I can create a bot game, sometimes I can't.

Echoing this. It works and sometimes it doesn't. Full press is always at an interesting limit too - "-1/7 slots filled". What's up with that?

To be honest being able to create sometimes and not others is the intention; a 600 game limit is probably about right.

Yeah I noticed the -1 / 7 slots filled thing, and I need to look into points refunds for bot games. When you're writing code to stop an ongoing attack it can be a bit slapdash
