submitting orders question
I'm still new to the site, so I noticed that if orders are submitted there's a gray check next to your name but only when its finalized does it turn green. If the turn expires without submitted moves being finalized, are the orders followed?

Palin's Comment About Healthcare- or, How to Incite and Mislead Angry Mobs
So the "great maverick" Sarah Palin, as you all may well have heard, has posted on her Facebook erroneous information of Obama's healthcare proposal, and gone one step further and called Obama's plan "evil."

Obama, Palin, the merits of the healthcare bill, and the response: let's talk...

idea for improvement
I would really like to see a clean map at the end of each season in addition to the board which shows everyone's moves with arrows and explosions and whatnot. By a "clean map" I mean a map that shows where every piece has moved to without the indicators of how it got there/which supports succeeded or were cut. I find that trying to plan the next season's moves is quite obnoxious with all of the arrows and other icons shooting off everywhere. Thank you much.

relationship between # of game messages and games won?
Ghosty - I'm looking for your help on this if you've got some free time.. =)
Jacob (2711 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
I was just looking at the new stat on our profile pages: Game Messages. I was wondering if anyone (read: Ghostmaker) could do some data mining to determine if there is a relationship between number of game messages sent and your likelihood to win or draw.

My hypothesis is that people with a higher games messages/game will have a higher probablilty of winning or drawing.

I'm sure there's probably a lot more to this type of statistical analysis. Anyone care to help?
djbent (2572 D(S))
10 Aug 09 UTC
well it's obviously not direct, but i would imagine the greater of the former, the more of the latter. but plenty of folks have more wins than me and half as many game messages. bad players can still be quite talkative! lol
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

If I was going to do that, I would have to get hold of a database dump including that information, because I am not going to load the server by scraping the data.

Wow, DJ, you do write a lot - you have more messages than me with 5 times less games.
I though I was writing too much myself, obviously that's far from reality...
djbent (2572 D(S))

lol @ Ivo

and now i am sitting for two others. trying to up their game message numbers too! =P
Vaftrudner (2533 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
443 messages per game, that's 73 to every player in every game on average, djbent. Not bad :)
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
Ghost, if you can pull out forum posts vs. ghost-rating - would be funny to see if there's any correlation there :)
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

Yeah, I was already ready to do G-Rating as well as win/draw/loss stats

@vaft - well that's not the case b/c some people don't talk back. so i don't talk much to them. the ones who do talk a lot, well, they never stop hearing from me.

i bet several thousand of the messages are the jbalcorn. he and i sure can jabber on... lol

By the way, any chance you'll have per-country statistics soon?

The stat should be messages from 1901 to 1902. Of course the better player will have more years to write messages, and will skew the stats.
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
Not sure if it's a big deal - should not be though - 8 queries instead of 1?
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
ag is right there.

I was considering trying to make a balance for that, but that would require knowing when people were eliminated, or else, estimating it.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
Do you mean per player Ivo_ or overall?
Toby Bartels (361 D)

The statistics will be messed up for people who play a lot of no-press, or even public-press-only, games.
OMGNSO (415 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
With the messages statistics, is it also possible to find out the length of the messages? If it's not the results might be corrupted if one player prefers to use long messages and a second splits it up into several messages.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
Gunboat and public press games are a problem, as they will also correlate with better players quite strongly. Length is probably less likely to correlate.
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
@Ghost - yes, per player.
I've played over 200 games - would be interesting for me to see how I do with different nations.
Jacob (2711 D)
10 Aug 09 UTC
looks like I send 186 messages per game on average - 31 per person...although obviously it never works like that.
djbent (2572 D(S))

since you and i have the same number of games more or less, it goes to show that talking more doesn't necessarily help one to do better! lol

Country Selection
Although there is a very nice message about how countries are assigned equally based upon previous game country assignments, I have been in 4 games on this site and have gotten to be Austria 4 times. Nice to be so lucky, but I am really confused how this works. Could someone in charge please explain it to me.
