Supporting a convoy

hey guys! I'm sure this has been asked in the forum before (however I am unable to figure out how to search the archives so I'll ask it again).

I recently had my army at Belgium move to English Sea by convoy, the Fleet in English Sea convoy from Belgium to London, and the Fleet in Wales support move English Sea to London (I couldn't tell it to support move from Belgium to London). It said the unit it was giving support to couldn't accept it.

How should I have wrote this order for it to work? From what I understand of the game I should have been able to do this... in the end my move failed because the convoy wasn't supported. Any help would be appreciated.

Some Newbie phpDip questions

Hey all, i'm working on my first game and I have a couple simple questions that I don't see answered in the FAQ:

1. What are the criteria for a country to be put up for username transfer? Is it a choice where you can say "I want out of this game, can someone take my spot?" or is it based on inactivity?

2. Exactly how do the turn phases work? Is it 24 hours per season, or 24 hours to make orders then 24 hours to figure out retreats etc? If one player does not log in during the alloted turn phase do there armies all "hold" and the game proceeds without them?

3. With placing moves, if you have put in commands but not clicked the "finalize" button yet, will they be executed when the turn is up or will the game consider you to have just not put in orders at all and hold all your units?

4. What does the (x) with a red X mean after players names in a game?

Anyway i think thats all of my newbie questions so far, thanks for the help :)

YOUR "Best of 2007"

Whats your favorite phpDiplomacy moment of 2007?

Did you pull off a brilliant stab that you tried to tell all your non Dip friends about and they looked at you like you were nuts?

Did you vote 5 times in a row for Bismark to be the best historical diplomacy player, or vandalize Khan's wikipedia article to say that he was? (Ok, so maybe this should be listed under worst of 07)

Or was your favorite Dip moment a particularly compelling argument you or another player made in game?

My favorite moment came when I logged in to see the following message from Signalseven:

"Support me from Budapest to Trieste or I'll slit your eyelids open sideways." (As a side note, I did support him and eventually he won the game. Who says violence isn't the answer?)

So whats YOUR favorite phpDip moment from 2007?

supports/dislodges

i believe this topic has come up lately. there is some dispute on whether or not the rules adjudicator here properly judges supports, if i am not mistaken?

for example, you have two nations opposing one another in the med. one has fleets in tunis, ionian, rome & naples. the other has fleets in north africa, tyrrenhian & western med. one nation stages an attack on tunis with north africa & western med. tunis is defended with ionian. rome & naples take the tyrrenhian.

what, in your opinion, should happen? is tunis taken, or defended?

does the support for tunis hold because the supporting unit was not dislodged, or does the support fall because it was attacked? was the attack on tyrrenhian called off because the attacking unit displaced, or is this irrelevant?

It is really a shame that (a) high ranked player(s) participate in a game, where obviously cheating is going on.

If you ever see a game, where obviously cheating is going on, don't join it, don't finalize moves and report it to the admin.

At least in the other game he's playing solo, running all 7 countries.

Php Diplomacy: New Years' Resolutions

New Years Eve (my birthday!) is approaching, ladies and gents, so what do we want a s a resolution/wish list for next year?

Me:

1. Some kind of policy against cheaters. It don't hink that they should be banned immediately the first time, but there has to be SOMETHING done. I think that they should have to be docked down to 50 points the first time and lose a rank, the second time down to 10 and go back to being a
"political puppet", and then they should be banned. But that's just me.

2. Official Monthly Voting Threads, kind of like a Congress. We could either all go, or elect representatives, or maybe you'd need a certain quality (number of games, number of hours, number of points, wins, rank, etc.). That way, maybe we could adress these issues better, and come up with coordinated ideas more often. Notice of date of meeting would also be nice. Kinda leads to my next idea.........

3. MORE TOUNAMENTS! The First Grand Diplomacy Tournament was fun for me (though I was bounced VERY quickly- I was poor Austria next to Rait in Turkey!), so let's try to have more.

4. 1 annual playoff-style tourney where EVERYONE plays. That one's a bit ambitious, and maybe not fully fleshed out, but a an annual title game and playoffs would be fun, I think. Maybe someone can refine this idea a bit.......

Shalom, mein khavers, and Happy New Year- and Birthday!

Not actually a problem, but:

Quote from the 'help' page:
Hall of fame
The pros of phpDiplomacy, the top 100

Now check the ranking of the player last on the page...

Signalseven (116 )

I agree with figlesquidge.

We need standards and practices to take a look at this entry.

517 Amacheur

Everyone else had to declare their professional status and throw our Olympic hopes and dreams into a pile at the door on the way in.

We should not be allowing an "Amacheur " to have access to our Pro rankings. This sort of behavior must be made example of. I should think that a de-pantsing and 14 lashes with a bamboo cane are in order.

I’m not saying that he can’t play with us anymore. The “Non-Pro” players should be encouraged to fill spots in the lower point games and do their part by rolling over when the Pro’s tell them to. Of course this is limited to the public games. We wouldn’t want them coming to our Country Clubs and thinking they can order dinner at the bar. That would just not do at all.

The point of my rant is that amateurs are not real people and should not be considered as such. In fact they should we should be able to buy them and sell them as property. You know like some kind of commodity. They would do what they are told and you could beat them if they didn’t. If they try to run away you can shoot them and nobody can say anything because you own them. Ahhh, what a world that would be!

But I digress; I am totally against any one who does not pay professional dues to be allowed in our rankings. It is a mockery of this grand sport and all the great professional players.

If actions are not taken to remove this player from the list, I will be forced to bring this grievance to the players union and organize a player strike.

My case has been stated and actions had best be taken.

(P.S the above post is in no way, shape or form the opinion of the writer)

Gobbledydook (1389 )

Well then, beat him in games so that he loses points, or get somebody win more points so that he goes ahead of him?

Signalseven (116 )
28 Dec 07 UTC

Shhhh Gobbled..

You using logic is not allowed. Just add your voice to the rant and stay in line. Don't make me call the players union on you as well. :P

Signal, I agree! Didn't read but I want to curry favor because I believe this site is run like a corrupt mid-century South American government! Also, all my game losses are not because of any flaw in my playing ability but because everyone knows I'm awesome so they hate me and gang up and I'M GOING TO MY ROOM I HATE YOU MOM!

Locke (1846 )

Am i mistaken....or did amacheur not earn his place in the top 100?

Signalseven (116 )
29 Dec 07 UTC

Oh he won his spot on the list by his skillful play and merit. His play is not in dispute here.

We are only saying that amateurs should not be allowed on the PRO rankings. It's an insult and directly offends my sense of smell and probably taste too. To think that he gets all the prestige, endorsement deals, drugs and groupies that come standard with a top 100 ranking but he also gets to claim amateur status and try for an Olympic gold medal as well. Pa-shaw!

Despite their nominal status amateurs should have limited legal rights, civil rights and economic opportunities, as well as being subject to mistreatment or neglect at the hands of their putative superiors. This is just the type of world we live in and if people can’t see this as the problem that it is slowly becoming than I will have to enlighten them.

(P.S the above post is in no way, shape or form the opinion of the writer)

thewonderllama (100 )

Actually, amacheur and his recent replacement Mr. Spock did NOT earn their places of ill-repute! If you were to examine their profiles you might find that in fact they should have been left off the list entirely! Top 100 indeed!

kestasjk (99 )

I think fig is just talking about the top 100 list containing the 101st player, not commenting on the 101st player's skill. But thanks for pointing this out

Signalseven (116 )
30 Dec 07 UTC

I was just bored at work and needed something to keep me awake. So I went on a tirade about amateurs not being in the pro's. If Mr. Spock had been in the last spot when I first looked at this post then I wouldn't have had nearly as much fun writing anything. :)

Hence the P.S. about the above post is in no way, shape or form the opinion of the writer. I was just bored.

Of course Vulcans can be at the club if they are wearing headbands. Someone has to mow the grass and rake the plant beds.

Supporting a convoy

If I have two fleets surrounding a territory, and one convoys an army to that territory, can the other fleets support that move? I tried that, and I think it was interpreted as supporting the fleet moving in. I took that chance, but to my dismay, it did not go through, and the order was taken as a support for a move that did not happen. Any way to resolve this?

Something I've never seen

I think I'm joining the party who claims that there should be no secondary objectives (like ensuring Yourself a place within the first 3 or similar) in games besides winning the game. I find it pretty unbelievable that 3! corner countries could cooperate against the rest of the countries for 1,5 decades without making a single move against each-other. Not trying to be a sour loser, but this is really amazing. I will comment further after the game is finished, but I simply had to burst out the emotion.

Supporting a convoy

I'm not sure how to successfully support a convoy. FOR EXAMPLE

(this is completely fabricated)
Germany wants to convoy from Kiel to Livonia
Austrian Army in Warsaw agrees to support.

How would austria designate the order to support Germany's convoyed unit?
