Anyone wanna take over for Persia?
Persia isn't in too terrible of a position here, and it'd be really nice to speed up the game.

Civil Disorder
I am participating in a couple of games where some countries have gone CD. What is your opinion on this? When would you cancel a game with CD's?

Ancient Medd - tactics
So I've played a few games. I was wondering what seems to be some sound strategies for Greece or Egypt - because I get my arse kicked playing both.

Diplomacy doesn't simulate 20th-C Warfare
A random thought from the "alternate history" thread: Diplomacy does not generate reasonable alternative histories from the WWI era, because it doesn't simulate modern warfare.

Non-anonymous game
Anybody is in for one? I am talking about full press, 250+ points bet, 48 hours. Diplomacy is a dirty thing, and it is too easy to hide behind anonymity. Anybody in for the REAL thing?

Problems with a 10 minute live game help?
I am in a 10 minutes /phase (live) that started about 28 minutes ago yet still appears to be in pregame is there something I'm doing wrong or does this happen often (I'm kind of panicky because I don't want to miss the first turn)

Means your computer clock is probably an hour off.

Yeah. Daylight Savings time?
☺ (1304 D)
26 Mar 11 UTC
Honestly, I don't have any clue why the site processes that clock like it does. It's correct for a fraction of a second until the javascript changes it to be based on your computer's time, instead of the server's.

@ Faceman: That's precisely what happens.
The site generates the time/date based on the server settings, and this is what is originally displayed. Then, when the JavaScript has loaded it tries to update the time/date to be correct for you.
However, this means that in the rare circumstances when the original is correct and the JavaScript not it actually changes such that it's no longer accurate.
☺ (1304 D)
26 Mar 11 UTC
Yeah, but there seems to me to be no advantage to doing it that way...
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Mar 11 UTC
I believe its because not everyone has JavaScript enabled?
Also, doing it this way removes the need for people to keep telling the site what time it is where they are, meaning that if you go away to another country or similar the site still displays the correct time for wherever you may be.

aside: penultimate post before I disappear off again :O
☺ (1304 D)

Why not just not use javascript and calculate the time based on the server's time?

I'm not talking about all times, just the countdown to phase end timer.

Does the JS try to localize by IP? How does that work for mobile devices?

It syncs to your computers clock.

What I've always wondered is why some press is preceeded by approximate times (e.g. ~8:30). I would not store the UTC timestamp in the database, and adjust based on the best calculation I could make for the client's timezone. It seems as though it works the other way around here.

Delete paused game
Hi there, I got a little question. Is there any way to delete an old paused game which is without any hope to get ever unpaused? I've got such a game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=31234) and I'd really like it to disappear from the top of my games overview.

Setting up games in advance: time troubles
So I'm trying to set up a live game a couple days in advance and, I'm having a bit of trouble. Namely the fact that It is really hard to get it set to the correct time. gameID=54558 I need it to start at 7:30 CST any chance I might be able to get a hand?

Validity of Four+ Draws
I'm curious to hear opinions about four-way (or more) draws. Are there legitimate games that can be pointed to as examples of a real "draw" with established stalemate lines, or are they simply an excuse to boost stats for games where people should have cancelled?
