Because there are those who complain about a lack of Diplomacy Topics
One of the weakest parts of my game is that I don't go to other players with plans, but rather listen to plans, and adapt my strategy. Do you prefer to engage first, or listen to others? And how would you suggest I improve upon actively engaging with other players with ideas rather than waiting for them to come to me?

Muting is a curious feature
Apparently, you cannot mute a banned player. I discovered this when I tried muting bullshiot threads to make scouring the forums for an old thread easier. Curious indeed. By one's banning, they become like the mods: immutable.

Highest rated (by GR) games ever
Who remembers high rated games? Pls feel free to share gameIDs and ratings actual when the game happend.

2. Barn3tt 8
3. Vaftrudner 18
4. PE 26
5. Frank 44
6. 2WL 48
7. rokakoma 53

We are currently playing a game, I would rate it as 249, as the sum of the players' rates.
Since this is an ongoing game I don't share gameID

Does anyone know higher rated (less points altogether) game?
Vaftrudner (2533 D)

This is interesting. I wish I had a data dump of the played games on this site so I could write a script to automatically collect stats like these. Maybe if I ask the mods nicely? :)

Sargmacher's 1000 point challange was well lower rated, 348 altogether, by 2012 march GR, when the game has started.

You'd be looking for the lowest total GR then, if going by rankings, or highest total GR if going by the actual number. Two sides of the same coin.
rokakoma (19138 D)
11 Apr 12 UTC
Yeah, I mean lowest total GR, which mean it's the highest level of players playing it.

@roka: The '1000 point challenge' game was not formed on the basis of GR.

I think this game would probably be in the top 10:

Sarg: I know, I just put it here as a compare.
In chess they are categorizing tournaments by the avg. ELO points.

I think here it would be the same, the avg. GR score of the participants would describe a game best.

Fasces349 (0 DX)

@Rokakoma: The reason for that is the change in score gets larger as the ranks increase.

As shown about. You have a GR of 289 and your 53rd. DaveH has 235 and in 106th.

While DaveH counts for double the userID, he only counts ~5/6 as opposed to 1/2 of your GR.

If you have someone in the top 3 players in the top 10, and you other 4 players in around the 200s, your total GR will probably be around 2500, but your ID rank will be around 810.
rokakoma (19138 D)
11 Apr 12 UTC
Fasces, yes of course. That's why I counted both data. anyway, the question is the same, as the thread title, who knows games with highly qualified players?

Don't blame the free website for Tettleton's Chew
A free website is a website where a party may sign up for completely voluntary and free goods and/or services.
Any posting or trolling in the forums by a 3rd party is not a free website transaction. You muting a Tettleton's Chew after work is a free website transaction.

Guinness record for longest convoy?
I'm in a World Diplo game, and we are almost done. A 4 way draw in this very, very long game! I'm wondering if anyone knows the World's Record for longest convoy. We are trying one that will use 25 fleets! If that's the record, please let me know, ASAP, as I can ask us to change it to use 26 fleets.

Thanks!
