In the finished games section why is there not a cancelled games option?
there is a drawn and won option, it is not fair to leave out the cancelled games. (And yes, i am stupid)

I can't take these $%#$%^& public games.
So I just started playing on this site, having not really played any Dip since some PBEM a number of years ago. I joined one game as a replacement, and started two others from scratch. All three games have been horribly imbalanced due to leavers, NMRs, and suspected metagaming. How do I get in some games with reliable people? These public ones just aren't worth my time.

Look for the ones that are password protected, advertised on the forum, etc...

yeah the live games are usually pretty good when it comes to reliability but at a price of being played by the cut-throat expert players here. They're still pretty fun.

Join tournaments (such as leagues which is being advertised right now)
Join games that are 101 D or more
Advertise your game and password protect it and only give it out to people that look legit.

the more expensive the game, the more reliable. people put their mouth where their money is. Quality vs Quantity. Of course i have like 13 games right now :P

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I don't generally have enough time for live games or tournaments. I can only do a couple games at a time with 24-hourish deadlines. With the private games, do you just message the creator and "apply" for a spot? I guess I figured most of them would have preset rosters...

@Row, if you see the games advertised, makes it easy to PM the creator for the password. If it's an anon game, not sure what one would do, unless they got an invite, which has also happened. Seems a lot of folk play with quite a few of the same people.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
02 Feb 15 UTC
Yes in general if someone has a private game it's because they already have a roster. Never hurts to ask though I suppose.

In general, the lower the buy-in, the greater the chance of an NMR or cheating incident. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but if you look for games with a buy-in over 50 or so, that lowers the chance of a cheater or someone who doesn't care about the game joining.

@Row

Advertise your own game on the Forum. You'll probably fill it up pretty quickly.

You can try slightly more expensive games with a slightly longer phase. I found a large improvement with 36 hour phases over 24.

Experienced reliable people tend to post games from time to time on the forum for invite only.
If you're active and have good reliability you tend to have a good chance of making it in.
Sure the competition is so much fiercer. Every invite game I've joined I've been slaughtered completely. But the games are more fun due to better balance.
VillageIdiot (7813 D)
03 Feb 15 UTC
Really, advertisting a game on the forum is probably going to yield a better group regardless since you don't tend to get as many of the casual players active in the forum. Even if it's a "private" game with the password actually shown in the forum post to make life easier it's still likely better odds to attract more seriously players then a random joining a game.

I don't think I've ever played a public game except for the one or two live games I tried.

Successful ludicrous openings
What is the most ridiculous opening that you've seen go on to success? I'm talking Turkey not taking Bulgaria in the spring, England not entering any seas, etc - where a player (deliberately or otherwise) handicaps themselves. And then goes on to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Is there a way to see last turn's orders in text form? I know it shows all moves on the map, but is there some way to see the set of orders you sent in written out for you, so you can compare it against the orders shown by the map?

Possible cheaters
I suspect 2 guys are cheating. One's good and the other's new. In the game I'm talking about one of them is supporting another to win EVEN THOUGH that'll mean that person will lose and the other will get a solo win. I did some digging and found that in another game they're playing as France and England. They are obviously allied in this game too. SOOO without further ado, if that's how ado is spelled, how do I report these bastards?
