The dictator strike again
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/voter-suppression-scandal-will-be-a-test-of-harpers-leadership/article2350684/

First vetoing bills using unelected senators, now cheating in the election to get a majarity. Is Harper a dictator or elected official?

So what happened - why did I bother to join this game only to see it end in a 7-way draw before the autumn 1902 moves? I'm sure there's a good answer....

Time-wasters who team up with their mates.......
and enter anonymous games and team up against everyone else and usually but not always win. Then they spend all their time making sure they get 17 SCs each before drawing. Then flushed with their 'success' they start doing it in further matches. I just want to play a game with genuine competition where people win on merit and not because they teamed up with their schoolmates. How can this be stopped or how can I prevent getting stuck in games with these imbeciles?

WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR WORTH AS A HUMAN:
1) RATIO OF "LIKED" TO "LIKES"

I prefer the posts:liked ratio myself. I figured out that if about 1 in 10 posts is really blatantly mean to Diplomat33, the rest of my posts can be normal and I can still have a really good ratio.

That said, Thucy, where's MY hug?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
25 Feb 12 UTC
I can never remember which is LIKED and which is LIKES

Is it how many LIKES I have, or how many people have LIKED me?

In either case, my ratio is almost 1:1

I think the number of times I've been liked all come from one penis joke. I should make more.

Even Diplomacy enthusiasts like a good dick joke.
ghug (5068 D(B))
25 Feb 12 UTC
Likes is active, liked is passive, you are the subject. Hence likes is "agemacht likes x" and liked is "abgemacht is liked by x."

Shut up Eden.

@D, that's just a lie. You do care about what people think of you and what you say here. Otherwise, you wouldn't participate in the forum and such.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Feb 12 UTC
@z - that was in regards to the LIKES/LIKED. In that regard, I don't give a fuck either way. And, actually, I don't give a fuck what people think of my opinions here or I would be a lot more PC when stating my views. People who care espouse their views in moderation and publicly acceptable ways. I just tell people to fuck off and that their full of fucking shit. So clearly I don't care.

NikeFlash (140 D)
26 Feb 12 UTC
I mainly look at likes/posts x 100= %. And as far as my TC jab, well it pretty much explains itself.
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Feb 12 UTC
Not really, Nike. The OP was about liked to likes, not liked to posts. If TC received one like but never liked anyone else, then he would have a trememndously high (infinite) liked to likes percentage. So no, it wasn't self explanatory at the time. It is now that you have clarified the basis for your judgement.
NikeFlash (140 D)
26 Feb 12 UTC
I understand your confusion on my general stating of any ratio. but as far as TC, it seems that everyone either loves him or hates him, I have pretty clearly put myself in one of those groups and that might explain what I thought was obvious.
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Feb 12 UTC
It was clear in that regards and that is why I just plopped the one liner "define better" at ya. It was more a fun jab than anything else. But seriously, there are those here who (God knows why) "like" TC's posts.
NikeFlash (140 D)

No but see that's no fair because it favors people who started posting right when +1s were introduced. HMPH

the real number should include the number of times you were muted, when will this feature be added? (liked + k*muted)/posts = quality score. k should be at least the average number of likes a user makes. but i think if the people who muted you are particularly active in like-inflation, you should get some kind of bonus.
NikeFlash (140 D)
27 Feb 12 UTC
So if I get you to mute me I would get a bonus?
bolshoi (0 DX)
27 Feb 12 UTC
no are you kidding me? i spam messages, so that doesn't count. it's those assholes giving out the +1's that are inflating the like count. i would only inflate it if i were making comments that result in +1's. i am quite awesome though... so everyone should +1 everything i write. but those assholes just don't appreciate me.
NikeFlash (140 D)
27 Feb 12 UTC
If you are so awesome, you should +1 everybody else first.
bolshoi (0 DX)
27 Feb 12 UTC
i would +1 all over the place but i usually like to argue things that nobody else will side with me on. so it's me against the world. which is really, quite frankly, my contribution to society, because everyone else tends to get off on each others attacks on me. so i help you all get more +1's.
NikeFlash (140 D)
27 Feb 12 UTC
You should do a test, plus one every single comment and thread that you can and see if more people start siding with you.

i don't care.

what happens if you're playing a non-live game and the tides have turned, and it's clear your alliance will lose, and none of the opposition will defect? for live games, i usually play them through because it doesn't take too long to end them, but who wants to spend weeks playing a game that you will eventually lose?

Does anyone else ever get frustrated at the lack of international recognition of Somaliland? I find myself coming back to this subject over and over, trying to find any good reason to not recognize a democratic state in Africa with a history of free and fair elections, non-violent transitions of power, and relatively stable economic growth.

DATC and the known errors on this site
I took a look at the DATC tests here (http://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php) and noticed that 6.H (Retreating), 6.I (Building) and 6.J (Civil Disorder and Disbands) were all missing. Two of the most prominent errors on this site fall in this area (ending games before retreats and incorrect civil disorder disbands).

Failed move?!
Basicly the situation was that while playing as turkey in the late 1901 I moved my army from Bul to Gre and another one from Con to Bul via land, supported by a fleet in the black sea, but somehow the move failed and the army order is referred as hold in the orders log. My other army emptied Bul and noone else attacked there so why did the move fail? Any ideas?

Points Lost in Cheating Matches
Do the moderators reimburse points to players retrospectively when they find they were victims of cheating in previous matches?
Also on a general point why do so many people try and cheat, what is the point?

website does not always display all games / how do you resign a game?
The website does not always display all 4 of my games at the top. Therefore, I got into a game on the late end of the turn and got attacked because I couldn't negotiate from the beginning, and it is ruined once again. This would not have happened if I could have resigned the first 2 games. They continue to display at the top of the screen even though I want to quit. How do you resign / surrender?
Overall, I have had a much worse experience with this website than I expected.
