suggestion to make retreat phase quicker

I am currently in a game that is waiting on one more country to retreat. However, the retreating unit has no options and must be destroyed. Is it possible for the program to recognize that fact and just inform the player the unit is being destroyed? Instead, our game is being delayed hours. I know other games have dealt with this situation also. Maybe this could be added to the next version of the game.

should the united states get a name?

sorry, but i feel quite insulted that people refers to the united states as "america" when "america" consists of many nations from argentina to canada... and is more shameful when the US has become such a corrupted and criminal nation in an international level.

i think is time that the US gets a real name for their country... how about if they change it to something short for "police squad of the world"? no,i dont think so...then the world will feel insulted.

but really, get a name!

A bit higher stakes??

Hey, anybody interested in getting a game going with something above 100 ante? Say, 120? 150? Points per SC is fine, I just want to play with some more experienced diplomats, and the only games I see filling up are the 10 pointers...

So yeah, anybody down for something above 100??

very diplomacy relevant topic

since this game is based off of world war 1
I thought it would be insightful to look at the war itself, or rather it's causes

now something I find very funny that a nationalist started the whole war, with the assassination. And even then it only started because nationalism was so strong in many European countries.

So what do you think about nationalism?

To be honest, I haven't actually read much of the rest of the forum but I guess I can speak about American patriotism as I know it in general. I would certainly not call myself a patriot and I have problems with people who are willing to bend their own beliefs in order that they go along with the "tides of change" so that they can pretend to agree with America's current policy and therefore call themselves patriots. This, I think is what has happened to Conservatism with this Neo-Con business, for example. Patriotism, in general, doesn't have to be bad but it does imply a certain degree of unthinking agreement with whatever the majority (or perceived majority) wants.

What do you think of them? I suppose you hate their guts?

Speed game

Anyone in for a speed game? This is a game where all players are online for a certain amount of time, at least an hour, and moves are finalised fast. I would like to set a max time of finalising of 5 mins. If I can find 6 other players for tomorrow afternoon, between let's say 12 and 16, I'll set up.

Best names

Let's see if we can come up with a list of players with especially good names. After we get a decent list together we can vote. Let's try by saying each player may nominate up to three other names that they think are especially creative, funny, etc.

I'll start with (in no particular order):
1) Feckless Clod
2) Figlesquidge
3) Kestas ;)

Devil May Care 666/111

6 point game, come beat up on me. For the second time now I have been put down to almost 0 points, and phpDip has kindly renewed me back to 100 points. It must be a benevolent universe! Which is good, because apparently I am terrible at this Diplomacy stuff, hence hitting single digits a couple times now...
The first time I got 100 points after losing a game, I thought it was a glitch and didn't make a fuss, the second time it happened I figured it must be a for-real thing.
Anyway, join my game and dominate the kid-who-cant-win-but-still-logs-on-ten-times-a-day.

Addressed primarily to Pandora, or those like minded.

Is black and white reporting, as in video journalism, less or more emotionally disturbing than colour? I vote colour is more delivering to humanitys wake up call. Dead bodies in a doco do not do anything compared to a colour version of the same... Thoughts?

Account

Allo all, just getting this known ASAP - this is a second account, my first is Shisuren. The only reason for this account is because I can't seem to log in with the other name while at work - so this is my 'play on lunchbreak' account (probably). Not even sure I'll have enough time, but if I do, I'd like to play a little bit. Neither account will be in any game with the other, period.. Ever. Etc.

Again, this account's only here because I can't log into the other one. Don't know whether I'll be able to play often, but I'll at least be able to keep up with one game and just play from home (Shisuren will be inactive if I've got an active game going in this account).

Thanks =)

RSS feed

Dearest Developer,
As an avid RSS feed subscriber and hourly GoogleReader checker, my life would be 100% improved if phpDip was able to RSS feed my game status, such as messages, periods, &c &c. This may already be on your to-do list! But at least for me, it is the ONE element that would drastically increase user-friendliness.
Do other players feel the same way?

Poetry

I'm a lover of poetry, so I thought I'd write one for diplomacy. I encourage everyone to do the same and share them!

I wear the face that grins and lies
it reddens my cheeks and brightens my eyes
I'll promise to give you the greatest prize
I'll thwart enemies and advise my allies
but all the while I'll devise your demise
bow to you as I plan my rise
laugh at you while your country dies
so heed my words, words to the wise
I'm not your friend, I'm myself in disguise
as living proof of human guile
I hide behind, not a mask but a smile
