Question for Programmers
Im making an array, and I insert a value at a point in the array, and any unused area is assigned a zero. eg [7,3] and each previous cell gets a zero. My question is how do i write a method that deletes the excess zeros, but keeps the value. Later on, ill have to have it delete zeros when i have information in the first, third, seventh cell etc, and the rest are filled with zeros.

In case you missed it the first couple times. You cannot advance past the stalemate line, you're not doing anything to try, so stop dragging the game out and vote draw. For the bystanders: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=40053#gamePanel

Bug?
In this game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=39585) Oz retreated a fleet from Dumont dUrville to Vostok (in spring 2003, retreats). It seems like a bug to me, but please enlighten me...

Signaling in gunboat games?
Can someone please explain any standard conventions that exist for signaling in gunboat games? Like...I think ordering a support hold to someone else's unit must mean something, but I'm not sure what.

Moves saved or ready
Hi, another newby question. If you have moves saved but not ready when the movement phase ends, will these moves be implemented, or will you be treated as having not entered any moves?

Is there any help page that explains how the webdiplomacy interface works, as opposed to the rules of the game? All I can find are the FAQ, the introduction, and the rulebook, none of which provide many details of this.

Is there any interest in a high-ish pot live gunboat tonight? I'd set up a game and make it password protected. I'm thinking maybe 50 yen buy-in. Reply or message if this interests you.

What did I do wrong on this math problem?
I'm trying to find the equation of a parabola by using 3 of its points. The points are (1,6) (3,26) and (-2,21). I'm trying to find the form y=ax^2+bx+c. I worked out a to be 2.5, but the book says it is 3. You can find my work inside.

ITS HERE ITS FINALLY HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(for being a great great great great grandmother, she's in pretty good shape to be up and about, baking us a pie)

Baumhaeuer (original)
Here is the story:
My great-great grandmother was a German settler in Cassdorf, a town in Michigan (founded 1845). Back when this happened, most everyone lived on a farm out in the woods, as did she. Once, when she was home alone with her 9-month-old girl, she had a loaf of bread she had baked sitting out on an open window sill to cool. She then saw and Indian man coming up to the house. She was very frightened about what he might do to her and her daughter. What he did was walk up to the window take the bread, and leave. She thought that would be the end of it, but then the Indian came back a couple of days later with a bag of venison, which he left on the window sill from which he had taken the bread.

This is a true story:
My great-great-great-grandmother lived in a town in Michigan. Don't remember the exact town, but it did rhyme with lasagna. This was back when Indians still freely roamed in Michigan. One day, my grandmother paced a loaf of bread on the windowsill to cool. An Indian walked up, took the bread, and left. My grandmother was very nervous because she had a 9 month old daughter and didn't know if there was going to be trouble. A couple days later, though, the Indian came back and placed a deer on the windowsill in return for the bread.

tt614
This is a true story:

My Great-great-great grandmother lived in Michigan during the time where Indians were still around. One day she baked a pie for her nine month old Daughter and placed it on the windowsill. An Indian then walked up and took the pie, leaving my grandmother in shock. The next day the same Indian came back and put a deer on the windowsill for the pie.

Thucydides
The following is a true story:

My great great great grandmother lived in Michigan. When the Indians were still around. So one day she was at her house baking a pie for her daughter. She set it out on the windowsill to cool, but just then an Indian brave came up and took the pie. My great great great grandmother was very upset, but a few days later there was a dead deer laid outside her house, presumably by the brave in exchange for the pie.

The end.

ConservativeMan
The following is a true story:

My great great great grandmother lived in Michigan a long time ago. One day, she was baking a pie for her daughter, when an Indian brave came along and took the pie. She was very sad, but a few days later, she found a dead dear in front of her cabin, presumably in repayment for the pie.

The End

The following is a true story:

My great great grandmother lived in Michigan a long time ago. One day, she was baking a pie for her daughter, when an Indian came along and took the pie. She was quite sad, but a few days later, she found a dead deer in front of her cabin, presumably in payment for the pie.

Mr. Yuck
One day my great great great great great Grandmother was making a pie for me. She set the pie out on the windowsill to cool. Meanwhile an Indian came and stole the pie from the windowsill. A few days later a dead dear appeared on our doorstep. Maybe it was payback for the pie.

Jman777
It was my great great great great grandmas birthday. To celebrate, we baked an pole pie. We out the apple pie on the windowsill and an Indian came and stole it. Then a week later, a dead deer was in our porch.

Svenson
It was my great great great great grandma's birthday. We baked an apple pie. We put the pie on the window sill and a Indian came and stole it. We found a deer dead on the front porch.

Mr.Yuck/Jman, what the heck happened!?!?!
tt612 (1089 D)
09 Oct 10 UTC
Wow.
Memory aside, I think this was a nice study of people's values.
For example, people cared less and less about the payment for the pie/bread and more that some Indian was stealing it.

One question, Abgemacht, where did that lasagna line come from?
Thucydides (864 D(B))
09 Oct 10 UTC
where did the first person plural come in? jman seems to have introduced it lol

also the pie in my opinion is a much more natural thing to cool on a sill than bread. i like that change.

i think we did really good all the way to largeham.

then all kinds of details, like michigan, got dropped

and the daughter got kind of vaporized somewhere around largeham too


basically mr yuck dropped the ball lmao

tracking of the "greats" in the great gramma.

originally 2 greats.

largeham subtracted one.

mr yuck added three

then jman subtracted one and so it remained

oh and i guess i bear responsibility for forgetting the nine-month old aspect. i remember wondering if she was nine years or months old and decided it was better not to say.

or else it would probably end up she was ninety years old
largeham (149 D)
09 Oct 10 UTC
Haha! I claim responsibility for ruining it :D
You know, I took away the setting on a windowsill detail, but then Mr. Yuck added it again, and it remained until the end.

the bag of venison on the window sill turned into a dead dear on the porch, AWESOME!

10 Oct 10 UTC
I thought the fact that at one point a whole deer ended up on the windowsill was hilarious. And yeah I definitely dropped a ton of stuff. haha I think I introduced the first person because my grandma does bake alot of pies for people's birthdays. Plus I was dead tired that day.
tt612 (1089 D)

for those interested, when I changed bread to Pie, I was so focused on trying to remember details such as the location, time, ages, and genders of the characters that I missed the main subject. Pies are more natural though.

the most amusing thing out of all of this is the Indian going from taking and repaying for the pie to just flat out stealing it.

Newbie question re power allocation
Is this purely random when you sign on to a new game? I played by email before and you could set preferences for which power you wished to play at the beginning. There seems to be no such option here, or am I missing something? I'm wondering partly because I joined two games using a creaky old browser that didn't manage to load all parts of the interface.
