But we should all be prepared that they are gonna become more and more common. People are gonna view it as their "right" to delay the game a phase of two, for whatever reason. I was thinking about this the other day. I wonder if people are going to start using the delays as a tool for getting extra...

I'd be keen to play, but I mostly do gunboat so if it turns out there are 8 players you can bump me.

I don't think that I'll live up to Squigs' write up, (much in the same way I didn't live up to his play!) but here's my first write up. I'll try to match him for format. 1v1 Practice GvI 1 http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=242731#gamePanel Opponent: Squigs44 Title: Eastern Over-extension Spri...

I agree I'd be happy to have a meaningful amount of games on at a time. If it ends up being a ladder, maybe tw...

Also, although unrelated, it's curious the forum says I joined May 9th, I've been here for a good while longer than that (23rd Jan 2011 according to my profile). I was inactive for a few years though, so maybe it reset my profile in the forum in the meanwhile?

Seems like it always says "GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders." even when the person missing a turn does not in fact have an excused missed turn and is now in CD. At least, that's ...
