winning vs. drawing
Aside from the points from 1 extra SC and the 'win', is there any other advantage in points in winning vs. 2 person drawing?

Announcement: The Champions' Trophy.
Some of you may have noticed this on my site. It will take place once the second league season and GFDT2008/9 are over. There will be 2 games running concurrently, with 76 hour phase, and I hope to have all press saved throughout the game so that it could be published after the game.

No, this isn't what you think... nothing perverted here. Just a question pertaining to the rules of the game v. the rules of the site.

One of the players (hpratt) forgot his password, and still has not received an email to set a new one. There is no way to automatically reset a password and we cannot pause the game without him. Please pause the game or send him his password ASAP. The deadline is in 7 hours.

Please un-pause, or draw this game
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7675

This game has been paused since last year. One of the players refuses to un-pause. At the same time that player asked for a draw, and the draw also needs only one vote. It is obvious that it is not going anywhere, because the last vote that was cast was on January 15th.
Please do something with this game.

Max builds in 1901
Germany and France (though rarely both!) can sometimes build the maximum of three units in 1901.

Has anyone else ever seen another power get a max build (ie three for Austria, Italy, Turkey, England or four for Russia)?

Varient Idea
I've got too much on to take up another game myself, but I was wondering.
Do you think it would make an interesting game if you were only allowed to send 1 message, of up to 20 words, to each player per turn. I think it would be quite interesting, because with such a limit you'd have to be very careful how you used them. Too blunt, you offend them. Too verbose, you say nothing.
Also, having just one message, when would you send it? Early - you speak first / Late - they can't reply
Chrispminis (916 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
That's not a bad idea. I wouldn't be too worried about offending them... But I would say a character limit is more appropriate. It would be interesting when orders are shared... what format would be as small as possible without sacrificing meaning?
Akroma (967 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
I once had an idea about a variant that involves nothing but drawings that you send the other players.

but I have seen how bad people can draw sometimes. I can only imagine what happens when you get a drawing where it is unclear if vienna or budapest are meant. And in the end, it was bohemia..
figlesquidge (2131 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
Ak - surely you could just draw the map with a whole load of arrows on for what you expect to happen?
Chrispminis (916 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
That sounds like a fun idea even though I can't draw at all. I imagine you'd disallow any letters or words in the drawings... and phpDip probably isn't a good medium.
Jacob (2711 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
it'd be fun to see the drawings that wer made after a stab...
aoe3rules (949 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
I would prefer 150 characters to 20 words, but that might be too much (defeating the point).
fortknox (2059 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
It definitely puts a major hook in communication, which is what diplomacy is all about. You'll rarely know if people agree to your plans, unless you send first and hope to get a 'yes' or 'no' back. If you don't like someones plans, you can't really suggest a change, cause there's no knowing if they accept or not until its too late.

It would definitely up the stress level (including paranoia) of the game
lkruijsw (100 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
An other thing that could be tried, is a delay on each message. For instance 24 hours. This way, it becomes more like postal diplomacy.
cgwhite32 (1465 D)
06 Feb 09 UTC
Great idea - very interesting variant. How would you police it though?
trim101 (363 D)

Chrispminis (916 D)
07 Feb 09 UTC
Well presumably anyone who wants to join the game is interested in the variant... so there would be no need to police it.
trim101 (363 D)
07 Feb 09 UTC
it does seem very interesting

i think i played in something similar a while ago on this site. Flashman was the instigator. You could only send one global message of a certain length every spring and autumn i think.
EdiBirsan (1469 D(B))
07 Feb 09 UTC
What would happen is that people would develop their own short hand/abbreviation or star to use German where one 'word' can contain a whole set of things.
For example the first message may set out a series of things and then players could pick up on a message such as
DMZengSpicBelFALL
or
Lepanto Tyrolia All OK for AIRhead see Pouch Article for plan.

Currently I am in a Variant Gunboat game with anonymous players but every Adjustment Period there is open negotiations through the GM who published a ll the messages received for the 48 hours of the adjustment phase. The site it is on is geared for that sort of thing and running tournaments (*Stabbeurfou).
I think that this is somewhat in the same vein as what is being thought of here.
trim101 (363 D)

you could ban shorthand or like someone suggested do it by characters
figlesquidge (2131 D)
07 Feb 09 UTC
Well, when my games die down I'll start one - I always like having one varient game going - keeps things interesting.
Oh, and I think it was Braveheart who suggested Touch Diplomacy - you can only talk privately to players who directly border you.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

cgwhite32 (1465 D)
08 Feb 09 UTC
Touch dip was a good varient, but you need the right players. We had a couple who didn't play ball I think.

Ban shorthand - normal words only (apart from Dip slang).

This would be a worthwhile effort - count me in figle. I'm about to die in one or two of my games.
trim101 (363 D)
08 Feb 09 UTC
yeah i will play, isnt that touch dip a bit unfair against england at least for a while
figlesquidge (2131 D)
08 Feb 09 UTC
You were allowed 1 global message per phase as well I think.
