Not all players bet the same amount
Why not all the players bet always the same amount of points?
For example here http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=42145 Everyone bets 10 but russia (11) and austria (17). Why is this so?

lets get rid of draws
there should be a game mode that is PPSC but no draws. i am sick of people going into games with the idea that there will be a 2-3 person draw from the start. the only way a draw in these game should be initiated is if there are no advancements from any side able an admin or whatever can assess the game and make sure it is actually draw, otherwise itd be cancelled

Error occurred during script startup, usually a result of inability to connect to the database:

Error triggered: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections.

This was probably caused by a software bug. The details of this error have been successfully logged and will be attended to by a developer.


Warning: mysql_close(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/www/objects/database.php on line 126

I have been able to get to the homepage a few times. I haven't been past this as any link to a game gives me the same error. But it doesn't appear as though the games are not progressing. There was one on my homepage (Chaos) that was frozen at the "Now" indicator.

I *hope* Oli will give extra time, as is done here. I have a little more diploming to do in my Fog game and I too may miss turns.

Well, if I can reach the main page any time soon, I'll be able to tell you guys if my game is still stuck at "now" for the turn phase. It should have advanced like 30 minutes ago.

Yeah, but the Chaos game says "crashed." And it looks like no extra time was given, which may have unbalanced a few games
ashen_shugar (236 D)
24 Nov 10 UTC
It's a little intermittant too, though a couple of F5s have done the trick for me. You're right, no extra time given, which is a shame. Oli probably doesn't have quite the same control over the server that Kestas does, or when the database was broken he might not have been able to access it to change times.

groza528 (518 D)
24 Nov 10 UTC
The problem is there is no good way to handle it now... If you don't back it up a phase then someone NMRs and it wasn't their fault. If you *do* back it up a phase then you have insider knowledge about what was going to happen. I'm in a game where a former ally was trying to talk me out of stabbing him, and now he knows whether he succeeded. It's also a Fog of War game, which means people know a little bit more about where the units are.

"If you don't back it up a phase then someone NMRs and it wasn't their fault. If you *do* back it up a phase then you have insider knowledge about what was going to happen" - Hmm good point, I missed a phase in a couple of games, and thats really annoying, but your right that taking it back a turn now could really change the flow of a game :S

I (Oli on olidip) have no internet access from home at the moment too..
So I can't fix problems as fast as I'm used to. I moved houses and my telephone-provider forgot to add internet-access to my account. This might take some time, as I can't reach anybody to change this.
Also my webhoster has some serious database issues at the moment. Sorry, but it might take some time to get sorted out.

No more End of Game statements
Everyone loves talking about what you were thinking and how surprised you were by a player's move or a stab, but no one outside of your game gives a shit. The only exception is games with good players like the Mad Marx games who's commentary would actually help people get better

Player banned during an Anon game.
Was the players name "Auto" or was that a mistake caused by the game being anonymous? And should the code-like text <inside triangular brackets> be there or was that triggered by the same thing? I'm not complaining, I'm just asking.
