who makes no-chat not anonimous?
doesnt make any sence

Also, since I don't recognize you, let me introduce myself as the site Admin.

Please make sure you read the site rules. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact us. Please do not make cheating accusations on the forum.

Yes I found that rule. Clear enough but I have to echo taos's comment. What is the point of having a non anonymous Gunboat game? It seems bound by its very nature to encourage communication outside the boundaries of the game.

Perhaps they don't know Anonymous is a feature?

Also, I'm dating myself here, but I'd like to point out that Anon and Gunboat were not always options on this site. I used to play Gunboat strictly on the honor system when full press was still enabled. There were never any issues.

For a game about lying and stabbing, most Diplomacy players have a lot of honor.

i think you and i are saying the same thing
if you make a gunboat it should be anonimous so players cant talk
the option of creating it non-chat but players known is a mistake in this not perfect world full of cheaters

I'm with ya Abe, honour is hard to find anywhere nowadays, gotta like the games that players need to rely on their moral fibre to stay standing tall

@ Taos, maybe you can make it non-anonimous to see who is in the game? Some people like looking at an other persons history. Others can do so because they can filter out possible multi gamers.

@victorius yes,i know that,but then how can you be sure they are not chating ?
its a door to cheating
you can only play not-anon gunboat with players you know and trust

Or we can be diplomatic about it... Just like the movies, good always wins over evil. We all know what happens to spys, thieves and cheaters in the real world. Why fret, the rule is in place, some take advantage, some respect, those who take advantage may have short term gain, but their 'luck' will run out. I personally like to think most people in this community believe and play by the rules the mods deem neccessary.

See you in the movies! ;)
