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

What stalemate line does France envisage holding?
Draugnar (0 DX)
30 Nov 10 UTC
A well coordinated Austria and France had the combined force to hold Russia down as any advances Russia made in one spot would have been countered in another. It actually looks like it was an interesting game to me.

Looks like russia couldve grabbed greece in a couple turns, than possibly serbia, but thats about all they wouldve gotten, if i do say so from my perspective(which probably isnt as good as yalls)

This is one of those games where you wish there was a "draw but continue for fun" option so you could respect your opponents but still see if you could have pulled it off.
I see a way. It would have taken the element of surprise. What I'd have done is not make the call for the draw, enter orders without finalizing, sent messages about how it was a good game and all, and make it look as though I had forgotten to vote draw when I logged off... then gone for the win.
That's pretty sneaky Eden, but I think Russia could definitely have gotten the win if he tried for it. Austria left too much open.
Draugnar (0 DX)

The key would be how Austria responded. A well reasoned response could have stopped Russia at 17 with the appropriate disbands and combined efforts making headway on the German front could have brought him back down to 16.

It's not the last two years at that point we where just finishing England/Germany.If I was going to have tried it would have been around 07/08 when I could have taken Serbia and moved Warsaw down that it would have happened at the end it all draw.But didn't want it to become a possible 5 way.

I read your message in global podium and it certainly cleared things up for me. I have no problem with you drawing to reward your allies on a game well played. I certainly would have been interesting if you had gone for the win though. I'm not sure you would have made it, but it would have been a great battle. I suppose that I'm just used to seeing players go for the solo, and only draw if they are stopped. Anywho, well played.

has this ever happened to you?
I entered my orders and clicked save. It appeared that the orders were accepted; the 'save' button became greyed and the 'ready' button became enabled. However, when I clicked 'ready' none of my orders were accepted and the turn processed with all my units standing still :(

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.
