Design Flaw in the Global Variant
I have now encountered several times a design flaw in the global variant in that fleets may not pass between Armenia and Moscow (which has a Black Sea Coastline bordering Armenia); neither can they support an action between them. Armies may move and support unimpeded; but fleets may not. What is to be done about that? Game Masters, please respond.

Feature Request - Blacklist
I know this has been proposed before, but...
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
07 Jul 14 UTC
There are three players that I am absolutely fed up with playing. I don't mind their personalities, and I don't have a never-ending grudge against any of them. They are just god awful players, and I don't know how many games they've ruined for me by either CDing power positions, or how many stalemate lines they've failed to hold. I can't tell you how many times I've ended up being a neighbor power to one of these players in S01 and gotten absolutely nothing back from my opening press. It's pretty sad, especially since these three players have played over 1000 games combined on this site. Despite this, they play terribly and two of them have a terrible resign rate.

Before anyone says anything - yeah, I play PPSC, and yeah, there are players that play for points. I don't like that, but that doesn't get to me nearly as much as the constantly bad overall play that these three have exhibited. I'm sure there are other people on this site that just can't stand another person, and while no one needs to give names, I imagine this feature would be a pretty simple addition. Just a block from them joining games I create and a notification if I try to join a game they're involved in - should be easily done by IP identification.

I know kestas doesn't have the time for this kind of thing right now, but it's occurred to me that if I say nothing it'll never happen, so yeah.

So, does this mean you primarily play games that are anon without passwords? That's the only way I can see this being an issue.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
07 Jul 14 UTC
The games that are related to this post are primarily CD positions I picked up, abge, though it's not like I've never played games straight through without passwords before.

I just wish there were a way I could be notified if I try to join a game with players that always seem to screw it up.

You have had some shitty luck if you keep joining games that one or more of the three have already joined. I am assuming, as abgemacht has stated, that they are anon.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Not always Alpha, but if I realize they're in a non-anon game that I try to join I avoid it regardless of the position. Still it's easy to join without looking at the player list.

2WL, personally I thought the third post was the beginning of the end, but hey, if you want to pin it on krellin, I'm sure the bandwagon will follow suit.

Well, bo, if you're picking up CD positions, I'm sure a mod would be happy to tell you if those people are in the game before you join. You are helping the site, after all.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Wait, what am I saying. They're anon games, so we can't tell you who's in them. Please disregard.

abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
I don't see anything wrong in principle with a blacklist, although, the person with the blacklist should always be the one kicked out of the game, even if they joined first (unless they created a game). The blacklist should also be limited so people can't use it to try to figure out who's in an anon game.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
How could you use it to try to figure out who is in a game?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Add a bunch of people to the black list and then remove people until it lets you join the game. You'll know exactly who's in the game.
Alpha@Omega (183 D)
08 Jul 14 UTC
Once the RR system is functioning properly, a RR min could be added to join games. I don't know much about coding but I think this could be done very easily.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
RR is going to be great, but it won't really address bo's problem.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
It'll address the CD side of things, but yeah, there's still more to it. Good RR is going to be a huge update though, particularly in live games.

Abge, you could combat that by locking a game off to a player once they've tried to join it.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Yes, that would also be a solution.

"Add a bunch of people to the black list and then remove people until it lets you join the game. You'll know exactly who's in the game. "

Actually, you'd only know the last one which let you in. You'd them have to leave the game and add a bunch of people who aren't than one and do it over and over until you figured out the other 4,6,9,or 16 people.

The War of Tumblr versus 4Chan
Anyone else watching the war of Tumblr vs. 4Chan play out? It's getting heated and somewhat illegal. Then again, it may not and it's all a bluff from both sides. But if it is true then there must be a lot of hackers with free-time and no need to gain any monetary value.

Realpolitik Diplomacy-sign ups
Realpolitik diplomacy is diplomacy with a twist, unlike the standard game, this game will be played with a internal politics mechanism. Instead of playing as a country, you play as a political party within that country, vying not only to be the dominant force on the board, but also to command the loyalties of your electorate. See in side for the rules.

You Say You Wanna 2nd American Revolution? Brits vs. Yanks Game!
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=144210 As we play "Fireworks or Gunshot?" here on July 4th in the States, why not join the ranks of your countrymen and start the whole damn bloody business over again? Brits (and Canadians, assuming the Brits agree) will fight on one side, Yanks on the other...winners get the pot (or I suppose can fall to fighting amongst themselves) AND have to adopt the other side's linguistic customs for one week after the loss--for Crown or Colonies, go!
