Does any one know how long it takes for some one to go to civil disorder? I was just curious, waiting for some of the players in my games.

I was just fooling around with this site, joined a friends game then decided to change my account name... so I created a new account, joined with that account, and was going to leave the game with the original account. Now I can't figure out how to leave the game with my original account and I have two players in the game...

register to play at turquoise days; a game considered to be a classic among the experts!!

register...now!!

Kestas. Please fix our game

Well, the no-press (i.e. Gunboat) game has ended. It went about as I expected. With no talking and no real way to infer what other players were thinking (seeing as how most moves could not be seen) there was basically no working together. We did have several apparent non-aggression pacts going on. For example there was little to no fighting between myself (Italy) and France or Germany.

not for the weak of mind; play at turquoise days!!!

I see people with zero points and I'm wondering: Can you even take part in games anymore or are you effectively booted off the site?

I need noobs to come and play in the I need new players room.

There are many top 100 players whose dip points I do not understand. Take, for example, Seedling (I do not want to pick on him, this is just an example):
Seedling's profile:
Points: 492
Position: 96
Games won: 1

No active games, let us look at his results from finished games. I am listing game name, pot size, Seedling's result, and the dip points he should have earned. I calculate it as: Pot * (Units at end)/34. It is not exact, but should be a good estimate, right?

Finished games:
Diplomacy... Autumn 1915
Pot: 165
Seedling (492) as England: 9 units
Earned: 44 DP

FoC Diplo Game! Autumn 1914
Pot: 154
Seedling (492) as England: 15 units
Earned: 68 DP

Light and Dark Autumn 1909
Pot: 154
Seedling (492) as France: 12 units
Earned: 54 DP

FOC 6 Autumn 1909
Pot: 132
Seedling (492) as Italy: 9 units
Earned: 35 DP

FOC 3 Autumn 1907
Game won by Seedling (492)
Pot: 110
Seedling (492) as Turkey: 18 units
Earned: 58 DP

So altogether he earned 259 DP points. OK, he started from 100 DP, so he may have 359 DP. But I did not even count his investments he had to pay to join those games!
How on earth does he have 492 DP points? Do I misunderstand something here? I see the same too high points typically for players who are not active any more... An other example is mate.
Something fishy is going on...

recyle please! is up and open

i wanted to ask some of the players , especially the more successful ones among you about game etiquette, first..is there any? one makes a deal (say an agreed upon DMZ for example)... is it consider bad form to break that deal that turn? i should imagine so but it seems not. one should follow the letter of the law ( deal)but the spirit of the law is more ..shall we say flexibly followed? or do we live in a hobbesian dog eat dog world? on a more practicable note..do you lie directly to your fellow countries or fob them off with civil but meaningless phrases? or pretend you didn't sign in and was therefor unaware of their offer? just like to here some general thoughts on the subject.

i know that the leader of germany is the kaiser, the leader of turkey is the sultan, the leader of russia is the czar, the leader of italy is il duce, and the leader of england is the prime minister. but what do you call the leaders of austria and france?

What the heck people? I mean really. I was a member of this site before and there were a few games with people in civil disorder but not all that often. Now look. It seems EVERY game I'm in there is someone in civil disorder. If you look through the join-able games there is a whole page of civilly disordered countries you can join! If you're going to play, PLAY! don't ruin games for people. This site is for fun. I know it's not serious, but it's not fun when you expect a proper game and from the start it's not. It's just not worth playing after that. And if you're losing, tough it out. Win on another game. You can't win them all.

Seriosuly people.

I clearly got 9 SC's. Why I still got 7 units? Can someone help me out?

I'm in a game that's been "due" for like two days now. I mean, I wouldn't care if I were like a lot of you, but I'm only in two games total...makes it annoying if you get me.

Anyways, hopefully just by posting this the fates will miraculously change the game to make me look stupid...but, then again, that just means I can keep playing, stupidity is a sacrifice I'm willing to make...oh yeah, if the fates are still bastards, kestas (that's the guy in charge here right?) could you maybe see what the problem is?

Thanks a bunch. I love you all. Except you, yeah you reading this. Everyone else is cool but you...unless your Kestas...way to go man, you rock!!! Wow I'm gonna stop typing now...

I was just curious at what type of people play diplomacy in general, so i thought id ask here. if you guys want, just write some info about yourself such as:
-what country you live in
-gender and age
-married or not
-profession
-hobbies
some of these questions might be personal so feel more than free to omit any of them. no names please.

California, USA
male, 18
college student
martial arts, racing, philosophy, and of course DIPLOMACY!

On games stuck in 'Run Now' please could we have a link to set them as unprocessed. Currently, if for some reason the Gamemaster does not run correctly, the game is left as processed, and so does not get processed next time, even though it needs to be. Another option would be in the bottom of the help page to have a 'clear Blocked games' link. Thus only players who had intentionally gone to find the link would click it - you wouldn't have people just running the gamemaster again and again wasting resources

kestas, we broke the game: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2267
please fix it

Chairman Mao and arthurmklo are brother?

last round it was indicated that Turkey had not yet finalized its orders by the deadline, yet when they were evaluated it turns out they had been. very annoying.

Hi Guys,
I have an experimental google adwords account.
and am planning to advertise phpdiplomacy

just wanted to find out if its legal and if you guys can come up with good punch lines.

I've heard a lot of arguing over whether the pot should be split by SC's or a winner-take-all kind of deal. Why don't we just make this an option when creating games? I'd like to hear some other suggestions though.

Still going, and I must admit I'm surprised. Please, when voting, everyone give a reason!

Somehow I don't receive notification for messages from other player, why? Is it a bug? It happened in the game "tusker".

i think recently there are many bugs in the game

look at this situation for example

Do Not Trust Him

I wanted to start a game for a medium number of points, hopefully anyone can play if they want.

i only do my negotiations or "diplomacing" in the chat window in the game and i was wandering if any of you has communicated with other players using e-mail, messenger or just calling using your mobile or homephone.

i will find very thrilling to diplomacing using messenger or cel...but i never had the opportunity.

how was your experience if you have communicated using another alternative than the chat window at phpdip?

i even have a ouija! ;0) Maybe i can get Bismarck to play.

One of the most interesting endgames I've seen in a while. I wonder who's going to win.
