A query for the Ghostmaker
Dear Ghost,
I appreciate all the hard work you have put into the leagues, and wondered if I could inquire about what's next.

Unpause a game please
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11990

Austria was banned for some reason, and the game went into pause. Austria has since been taken over, which is fine - but England hasn't turned up since friday (and thus hasn't voted). We have 36 hour phases, so if a mod could unpause, they will still have an entire 36 hours more from that point to join in again.

Unpause request
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=12053
Could someone please unpause this game? It was first paused due to a multi-accounter. And while the multi-accounter's place has since been replaced, Italy has not logged in since Thursday.

Math question
See below.
pootercannon (326 D)
13 Jul 09 UTC
So, I recently got a solo win in a PPSC game. The pot was 115. I ended up with 19 SCs, and England had 13, while France had 2. Normally, I understand that I would get 19*(115/34)=64 points for this win.

However, on the very last turn, England went CD. And I don't usually pay attention to my points, but they went up and it would be nice to know how many I got from that game. I would normally just look at the end-game message and do the math myself, but the game ended in the middle of the night for me and when I woke up, the message had been bumped off the forum.

Can someone help me out? Thanks!
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

Points per SC = 115/21= 5

5*19= 95
I did not know it worked like that... that's good to know ^_^

So nice of England to donate those points to you. France got a few extra points too.
pootercannon (326 D)

Thanks Ghost! I thought my point total was higher than it should have been, so that's what piqued my curiosity. I really can't believe that he went CD. He had 14 before the game ended.
Maybe he died

Hey, just checking - with PPSC I thought the winner could only get a maximum of half?
Sirither (100 D)
14 Jul 09 UTC
The winner gets the proportion of the pot equal to the proportion of SC's he/she owns. As winning requires more than half of the SC's, the winner will get more than half the pot.

Cool - i misunderstood that before.

code says:

return round($pointsPerSupplyCenter * $this->Members[$country]->supplyCenterNo);

$pointsPerSupplyCenter = return round((float)$this->pot / (float)$totalSCNo);

$totSCNo is the total nomber of SCs of playing countries.

It was Kestas' stated objective to have the winner win the equivalent of 18 SCs in a normally won game, but that didn't make it into the code. If you get 22 SCs, you win 22*ppsc.

So with only 21 SCs active, You got 5 ppsc (which actually ripped you off - at a pot of 116 you would have gotten 6 ppsc) * 19 = 95.

nice payoff. Ghost rating, however, only gives you the 18 for the win.

(This is fixed in the next version, where you can't win more than 18 SCs worth)
Aw that sucks lol.

Then I guess PPSC will go bye bye in the next version cause the house will get to keep Daggers any time someone wins with more SCs. I guess those extra Daggers will go to Kestas's account... Lousy skimming off the top beatch of a site.
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Jul 09 UTC
While the last was tongue in cheek, I have to ask why someone shouldn't get more Daggers if they win with more SCs... Seems a bit unfair to me.
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Jul 09 UTC
And that "stalling to get more SCs" is bull. If they stall to get more, they also risk someone breaking through a line and ruining their day.
jbalcorn (429 D)
14 Jul 09 UTC
I think the philosphy is that a PPSC win is 50% + 1 SC.

Thre's a question - do you get a PPSC win with 15 SCs if there are 5SCs in Civil Disorder?
jbalcorn (429 D)
14 Jul 09 UTC
You know, 18 Max made sense to me until I really looked at it. Now I think it does not - the pot is the pot, and it should be distributed according to SCs won. Perhaps rounding error goes to the winner, and gets lost in a draw.
