Big Game?
Is there anyone left who is willing to play a big game? I'm thinking around 300 point buy-in, PPSC, but I'll be flexible on the buy-in. Any takers?

Trolling attempt from a real account
Everything about the site is wrong.

1) You don't roll dice to see how far you move.
2) You can't buy neutral countries when you land on them.
3) You don't get to collect rent when someone lands on your country.
4) Where's Community Chest?

Some Clarifications Needed
Hey all,

This is my first time playing Diplomacy - woot woot! :)

While I'm really looking forward to getting into my first couple of games, I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help me sort out....

1. Let's assume that as Russia, I have armies in both Ukraine and Galicia while Rumania is unoccupied. I want to attack Rumania from Ukraine with support from Galicia. Using phpDiplomacy's interface, is this how I would issue the order?

The army at Ukraine move to Rumania.
The army at Galicia support move to Rumania from Ukraine.

2. Let's assume that as Russia, I have armies in both Ukraine and Galicia while Rumania is occupied by a Turkish army. I attack Rumania from Ukraine with support from Galicia. Turkey successfully attacks an undefended Budapest from Rumania on the same turn. What is the result?

Do I take over Rumania while Turkey takes over Budapest?


Thanks for any help you can provide!

Speed game proposal
Hi, I have a two week vocation coming starting from Friday & if anybody would be up to a speed game, I would be interested. Decent & timely are expected, buy-in wouldn't matter - could be as low as necessary. 2 moves per day could be expected, quick retreat & build phases. Time zones 0 up to +3 GMT would be preferred. Anybody interested?

Alternatively no press game could be started as well (which wouldn't be that exiting though...).
Stevelers (3084 D(G))

Play with Rait? Count me in. I check this site often, so a speed game is okay with me.

I would be interested too, though obviously it depends on what day we are doing it...
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
To clarify, does a speed game involve completing, say, 2 or 3 turns a day, or does it involve completing turns every half hour? I was under the impression the first case was how it works...
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
Oh, wait, you already said that 2 turns per day is what a speed game actually is... So, I'm in.
Rait (10151 D(S))

So we have 4 players - me, Stevelers, cgwhite32 & Whitnail160 - anybody else up for a speedy game? 3 more players needed!

What would everyone want for a pot? And, rait, would you prefer PPSC, or WTA?
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
Wait, since dearmore28 has 26 points, would it be okay for everyone to start a 25 point game? And, still, WTA, or PPSC?
dearmore28 (527 D)
19 Jun 08 UTC
25 pot.
dearmore28 (527 D)

I prefer WTA with such a low pot.
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
Yeah, that's probably best. Would anyone care to start it up?
alamothe (3367 D(B))
19 Jun 08 UTC
Rait needs a bigger pot to make large point difference between him and MarekP again!!
Stevelers (3084 D(G))

Or, we need to have the pot big enough so as to allow for a shift in power... You know, a real fight for number one!

what is a no press game?

I am interested in playing with such a group of diplomats. I am on here quite a bit, so i should be able play anything
Withnail160 (1204 D)
19 Jun 08 UTC
i think for a speed game will work better PPSC (although I agree with Marek that a low pot would be better WTA....such a game is likely to require more time between moves)
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
A no press game is a game with no press. :P That is, all communication is cut between all players.... But that's what not this game is about, and, sorry to say, we're already full.

Normally, yeah, I agree that it would take longer for a WTA, but, since everyone will be consciously making an effort to speed things up, I don't think WTA will be a problem, and WTA would make for a better game, I think.
Withnail160 (1204 D)
19 Jun 08 UTC
fine with me either way
Stevelers (3084 D(G))
19 Jun 08 UTC
Okay, I think I'll start a game, I'll post a link to the game in this forum soon.

Reminder: If you're name is not on this list, please do not click the game, as you will be joined automatically, I think, and that would kind of mess us up. :(

I keep getting the "Could not join game: The password you supplied is incorrect, please try again" error.

Uhh... I'm not sure what that means. Maybe try the first link, then input the password yourself. The password is "game".

Stevelers (3084 D(G))

Huh. I don't know what to tell you... Maybe as soon as the game starts, you join right away? (if you like Italy, of course!)
Stevelers (3084 D(G))

That is the strangest thing... I've got no idea what's happened to the link, or maybe there is a problem with the game itself. I don't know...

Variant Game
An odd variant based on press rules:

You are not allowed to speak to any player whose land you could feasably enter within three moves without using a convoy from an enemy fleet. This means that, at the start, England may not speak to France, Germany or Russia. This means that to communicate with somebody nearby you must use the help of another power elsewhere. Global press is also prohibited, except to announce who may post messages to who.
Is anyone interested in such a variant?

Legal moves.
I have options to convoy that don't seem possible, so my question is, is the Game set to show only possible legal moves. I have a Fleet in the gulf of lyons, and It says I can convoy from spain to Tunis, or Northat africe, without a fleet touching those countries.

Kestas - please ban these morons
mapleleafrulz has taken over a cd in one of my games and has posted a global message in a pathetic attempt to paint me as a multi. This is totally malicious; well beyond the childish moniker previously used by this individual.
As this idiot, and mapleleafisiacnt, are likely the same idiot and logging on from a country other than Canada, just ban him/her and every other user from the IP.
The really sad thing about all of this is that people with whom I have played in many games are actually questioning my integrity.

this is the message that comes up:

Error triggered: An order which should be complete is not..

This was probably caused by a software bug. The details of this error have been successfully logged and will be attended to by a developer.

how soon do you think that this error can be or will be fixed? thanks for all of your great work kestas.

Rules
1) In Diplomacy if you move through a country it is yours. Yet in this game it reverts back to neutral.
2) In Diplomacy at the end of the autumn turn you can exchange an army for a navy or a navy for an army. There is no option to do so in this game. This puts England, Italy and Turkey at a disadvantage and helps France and France is already in one of the strongest positions in the game.
3) It two units are attacking one unit and the defending unit attacks the supporting unit the defending unit remains in place. This is making one unit stronger than two units. This is stagnation and a direct violation of the basic rules of the game as stated on the front page of this site. Support would need to be broken by a fourth unit

I just do not care to play under these rules. Thanks anyway.
