Multi-Accounter JoshR

http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7402&msgCountry=Global

He's in this game with me as Italy, and may be multi-accounting E or F. France is submitting hold orders for all units season after season without going into cd, despite being able to take Bre back. England has acted irrationally throughout.

Better Forum

A better forum would be good, but getting it to fit in and appear as part of phpDiplomacy, rather than just a separate site, is difficult. (FAQ)
Is the change of including good enough to make a mockup for an Idea?
(Yeah, nothing to do in the Hollidays, though I can't code PHP, it would be in HTML/CSS)

Game Sorting

Currently all game listings (your games, finished games, joinable games) are sorted by the size of the pot. To be honest I find this rather annoying in most circumstances where I'm actually looking at them.

League

There is the multi round league that is being run here... I am actually playing in it.
However, there appears to be no easy way to find out about it, or to even find out who is running it, what it is about and all that. There are no references here or in the games...

New Game: Seldon Crisis

I didn't start it, but I'm the second in.

So maybe you don't wanna play if you're one of those guys who doesn't like to read a paragraph or two per turn.

Clear Multi-Accounting

There is a thread below about this but i would like to formally accuse Rouhan of also being KIDD and Jerrilian. They are all playing in my game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7468 but also in every other game the last two are in, all three are in it. He has several other games where he makes players "*1, *2, *3... *6" then wins...

please can something be done about this?

Should there be a discount for taking over a CD?

It's hard to get people to take over a CD position - players who do are doing the game and the site a service. Most of the time the country is out of position and about to be mauled by multiple neighbors and its chances of winning are greatly overstated by the standard (# of SC owned)/34 formula which is implied by the takeover costs.

I'd suggest a 25-50% cut (perhaps 25% for CD's that are in the 8+ center range and increasing to 50% as you get smaller).

Sorry can't play mucy for the time being

This is too all those I am playing with currently. Normally I obsess about my moves but I just have too much going on in the real world to think about this game. I apologize to all I am playing with. I am still logging on to finalize my moves (when I can) so as not to hold up my games, but I can't play "my best game", which probably puts a bit of a spin on the strategy for the other players in my games.

What if there was no ranking?

If there was no ranking for say the first 20 games completed. Would this cut down dramatically on the cheating/multi accounts? Would the ability to go to a non-ranked game status be a good tool to combat a multitude of issues? if so which ones?

New Games?

Recently, I am trying to get back on the site through starting/joining a new game (i dislike taking over CDs)...yet twice and the games hasnt started. there simply is no-one out there willing to join these games....I know that most top guys are busy with the league thing, but then if new games come so rarely (i was looking for anything around pot 100, WTA or PPSC), how will this site survive? all i can join are mostly a bunch of CD games (more than before I left the site few months ago).....

Furthermore, 2 of these players joined today within minutes of one another.
Odd, how does one ask to be REMOVED from a game?
I do not want to play with what i consider to be cheats, or at very least, suspicious players.
Can i do this without losing my bet?
Thanks heaps in advnace.

Well when one looks at Kiralens profile, they will see he joined the same day as others in his current game(nov 24th).
I just find it extremely odd that they all joined same time, and join same games.
Is there a way for this to be checked.
Since you say, Gobbledygook, that they are quite efficient at banning cheaters, how does anyone get them to look?

if two people join the site then chances are they WILL join the same game. if the mods find they are cheating the game will be drawn and you will get your points back. until then i suggest your find your WA and be cool

and speaking from experience - not all accusations turn out to be true .... I was accused *whimper* and it really hurt my feelings *wipes a tear away*

seriously though - I think you did the right thing Daniel bringing attention to it - but I do also think there should be a more streamline way of submitting these 'accusations' without doing it on the forum and forcing players (specially new players) to have to come and defend themselves in public.... most dont even read the forum, and many seem not to understand the concep that a game called "Diplomacy" requires them to ... well... engage in diplomacy.

Adorno and Kiralen have no connections and are pretty clean.

Sonic Youth is unrelated to them as well, so your fears are just your paranoia! =D

Your vigilance/paranoia is not unappreciated though.

Sonic Youth, can you convince me that you are not every player in this game?

Hi all. I just joined the site and do not know anyone. I play over on facebook (as lladmirall) and have been a victim to metagamers before, so I understand the paranoia. In fact, I'm in a game w/a tactically incompetent multi-accounter right now which is why I decided to check this site out.
