0.98 update

This update fixes up some World variant links, and makes some minor changes to the map that make things more efficient and look slightly better (no more wonky order-fail-red-cross)
But as always there may be bugs, though this is a fairly minor bug-fix release so hopefully not, but let me know here if you spot anything

Quick Question

Hello! I am wondering how people become mods on this site, because it is all quite strange to me. On other sites similar to this people go from being a regular player to being a mod! Please explain!

Can you explain this to me

Can you guys explain to me what has happened in this game, I suspected that someone was or had been multi accounting.
On the main Global it states that someone has been removed but it does not say who, I will cut and paste the statement into the forum.

Diplomacy World Map View Game.

I was wondering do you need more than seven players to play? I started a game called Europe or Bust featuring the advanced rules with a world view map and it didn't show on the new games" page. Some of my friends and other players want to join , but they have to click on my username and search for the game by specifying the game. (Variant: World and Pre-game etc.) How do I get it to show on the new games or games column?

Is it possible to see more 'Notices' than are displayed on the Home Page?

The notices show whenever someone joins a game, and whenever the phase changes. I wanted to go back and see the notices from the beginning to the end of a game. Possible?

Teusday Night Live

I want to have a live game tonight, around 6 PM (Central Time GMT-5), it will be a standard PPSC game with a 50 point buy in, kinda high stakes. If you want in, post it on this thread. I will create the game around 6 PM tonight and post the game ID on this thread at around that time. If not enough people want a 50 point buy in, I might lower it to like 25 or something, just let me know what you think on this thread.

Hope to see everyone around 6 PM

Racist Australian KFC Ad?

There's debate on youtube at the moment about an ad made by KFC about an Australian cricket fan given chicken to a crowd of West Indian fans during a game of cricket between Australia and the West Indies. Do you think it is racist?

Leviathan, Locke, Militarism, Marxism, Rousseau, The Republic... the Ideal State?

Its been asked over and over- what would the perfect state be? How to create it? Who/what occupations play a role in it? What's left out? And WHY build a State in the first place and do away with "the State of Nature?"
One rule going in- ANYONE mentions the "G-word" that turns every debate we have here into theists vs. atheists gone mad.... said person is ignored.

What is the longest convoy done in webDiplomacy?

As solo or with allies. Oh, and pics or it didn't happen. :)

Darth (137 )
18 Jan 10 UTC

The longest possible convoy is St Petersburg to syria or Syria to St Petersburg.

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=18002#gamePanel

No I didn't actually participate in this convoy but it's evidence of it happening.

On New Years in a live game we were bragging that the board lit up like fireworks with this convoy in 1908 from Edi to Syria

kestasjk (99 )

Since 0.97 we have a DATC test which runs the largest convoy on the classic map, to test the convoy code. Not quite as neat as when it happens in game, but it's there in Help>DATC at the bottom

gameID=6258 is one of the longest games in game years, and ended with a super-convoy.
gameID=16464 had some long ones.

Babak (26982 )

JECE - that 6258 game is one of the BEST I've ever seen... truly amazing... italy and germany, at one point had ZERO of their home centers and came back to win the game together... quite a game... thanks for putting up that link

orathaic (1009 )

6258 is a very cool game. i'm surprised they didn't go for a two way draw at that point...

JECE (1322 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

Amazing, I never really bothered to look at the game!

LJ TYLER DURDEN (334 )

Has there ever been a game longer that 6258? If so then what's the longest?

vamosrammstein (757 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

I think there was a game that went into the 1990s, but that was before draws existed.

Jenny (1327 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

JECE - Thanks for the mention. We played for over half a year as I recall. My ally (Germany) graciously gave me the win, although he deserved it at least as much as I did. It was truly one of the best alliances I can possibly imagine. It was also the first time I had played in about 15 years, so it set the bar pretty high! (Although LJ, we had a pretty good game that ended 18/16 as well!)

Obscurity (677 )

Contrary to popular belief, there are a few other convoys just as long as St Petersburg to Syria, which is 8 convoys when done most efficiently. Kiel to Venice takes 8 convoys as well, except it looks far closer.

TheDeacon (100 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

The longest possible convoy as far as I can see it from Finland to Syria... which is minimum 10.

idealist (680 )

game 6258 was weird. why would germany help italy win, when germany itself could

LanGaidin (1509 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

I've had a Syria to St. Petersburg once. It took some coordination and even Russia grudgingly acknowledged the accomplishment although he lost the SC.

Obscurity (677 )
19 Jan 10 UTC

No, Finland to Syria wouldn't work because you can't convoy through Kiel or Denmark.
