Reporting myself for multi accounting
I created this account when I used up all of my 100 coins to join games and wanted to play more. I did not realise that this was prohibited and in fact, I still cannot find where the rules are located on this web site. I had to google to find the page.
Could the Mod please contact me and ban this account and verify that the two accounts have never been in the same game.

HOW TO PLAY THIS
The instructions did not mention this scenario: If you attack a province that someone occupies, but that someone is moving their unit in that select province to a different province that is unoccupied, their move cancels and they have to defend their province which is being attacked right? I know this to be true based on my own experiences, but I wanted to confirm.

Private game replacement rules
I've been told by a deadbeat admin that is losing a private game that he has the ability to pick any replacement he wants and he asked someone who I'd rather slit my wrists than play with. There's a reason I play passworded games and I think there should be a rule where you need the consent of people in your private game before picking a replacement.

The Inaugural 1v1 Showdown!
With the addition of new variants comes a new official Tournament! Only one can triumph - and that could be you!

Welcome to the Inaugural 1v1 Showdown 2016, the first 1v1 tournament on the site! This tournament will be in double-elimination style, meaning that you face other players through rounds of 1v1s and you are eliminated if you are defeated twice in total. In the end, one player will be left standing - will that be you?

Entry is FREE and open to all. To sign up, fill out this very short google form (just needs your webdip username and preferred contact method): https://goo.gl/forms/wiFENMIXBMThGKUk1

Along with eternal recognition as the victor of the very first 1v1 Tournament, there are WebDiplomacy Points at stake too! The prizes are as follows:

1st place: 500 points
2nd place: 200 points
3rd & 4th place: 100 points
5th, 6th, 7th & 8th place: 50 points

Additionally - if more than 64 players sign up for the tournament, all of these prizes will be doubled, bringing the total prize pool to 2000 points!

More information to follow.

This Tournament will be played exclusively on the France vs Austria map.

Each set between two players will consist of two games, with each player playing each country once. With a 2-0 or 1-0 result, the player with more wins is declared the victor of the set. In the event of a 1-1 or 0-0 result, a third game will be played with nations randomized, and the winner of this game will win the set. If the final game is drawn, the player playing France (the slightly weaker nation by vDip stats) will be victorious.

If a player loses two sets in total, that player will be eliminated from the tournament. Generally, a player will be matched against another player with an equal number of set losses, although this may not be true towards the end of the tournament. The tournament bracket will be arranged using the site Challonge, which is renowned for creating good Double Elimination Brackets.

There is a possibility a player will get a bye for one round, meaning they will progress through one round without playing in that round. This counts as a set win (so does not count as a step towards elimination), and Challonge works to minimise these and ensure the byes are distributed fairly.

The phase lengths of each game will be 24h, with players encouraged to ready as soon as possible. This is to try to ensure that the tournament does not carry on for too long, as every game in one round must finish before the next round can begin.

Each player will get one week total of pause time over the tournament, which can be used by contacting the Tournament Director (userID=41379). Players can request games to be paused for any amount of time from a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of their remaining pause time. This can be done by voting pause, provided the TD is informed this is happening - do not pause games without sending the TD a message.

A CD in a game will count as a loss for that game. NMRs are not punished aside from this, since in a 1v1 it only disadvantages you and advantages your opponent. Failure to join a game in time will also be counted as conceding that game to your opponent.

Games are unranked with a 5 point bet, which is always the case for 1v1 games on WebDiplomacy. Full Press is encouraged to allow trash talk in Global.

In the event of a stalemate being reached and held for 2 years, the TD will force draw the game (after significant analysis of the gamestate and whether it is a true stalemate). Players will also get the opportunity to tell the TD whether they believe it to be a stalemate and what their plan is going forward. Other force draw requests will be considered on a case by case basis, but if it is not a true stalemate the game will not be force drawn unless it is clear neither side is going to make any progress.

Since no 1v1 standings are available for webDiplomacy players (These are new variants!) seeding will be random.

Feel free to post any additional questions here or PM me them.

Hello Captainmeme. You write that "France [is] slightly weaker nation by vDip stats". Where can we get this data ? I have the feeling that it is nearly impossible for France to win.

Therefore I would suggest the there are "only" 2 games each time. We count the number of centers of each side (a number > 18 is considered to be 18). The country with the higher number of SC after 2 games is the winner...
yaks (218 D)

The reason why the vdip data seems slightly balanced is that many of the people playing 1v1s there are amateurs. In a serious FvA game I would bet the chances of winning would be around 10%/90% respectively.
captainmeme (1632 DMod)
30 Dec 16 UTC
@CptMike - vDip stats, from about 1750 games, can be found here: http://vdiplomacy.com/stats.php?variantID=15

@yaks - I guess if that is true we will find that out. We have held a few of this kind of tournament on vDip before though, and the results have not been an Austria win every time. The best 1v1 players (one of whom soloed twice and came third in the last webDiplomacy Masters) would agree that that variant could go either way.

That England V Turkey variant is a doddle for the player with England, if he plays the optimum game Turkey can never win
Kakarroto (128 D)

Britania rules the waves!
Yeah, Mitchell is right. I've only seen Turkey win once, because of a strategic error by England. I've seen Turkey draw twice, once because of a mis-order from England, and once because of tactical error. Turkey really doesn't stand a chance if England plays well.

If you have a preferred contact method that is not webDip PM, I may need details to be able to do it. I'll PM people who haven't been specific enough to get those details shortly, but it would help a lot if you put more detail in the form itself (for example, "FB" isn't particularly helpful because I have no idea who you are on facebook).

Playing with less than 7 players
I'm just starting a game to play with a few friends of mine, and because there will only be four or five of us, I was wondering if the game would actually start if we only had 4 players, or if it would just cancel and refund our bets. If it does cancel, is there a way for us to play a game on here with only the four of us?

I am new to both Diplomacy and this site and I am currently in 2 games. One as France and one as Germany. But the turn timer rolled over and when I came back to view what happened the France game, it wasn't in my game list. What happened?

If details help, it had classic in the name, started in 1901, the game turn rolled over at 2:35pm and it was anonymous players.
