your quiz was missing some choices.

for instance #8 "You lose..." definitely needs another choice. Mine would be something like, you ruminate on the loss feeding the inner rage and anger. you have a hard time comprehending how that fool could have bested you and plan on joining another game with him as soon as possible to teach him a lesson... (if the game dictates it of course [which it WILL...])

I also didnt like the options for the draw question. To me a draw is like a win's somewhat inferior brother.

How would strategy change if you could finalise privately?
Geofram brought up the problem with too much transparency--i.e., being able to see that others have submitted (but not finalised moves). That very different issue made me wonder, what if you couldn't see that anyone else had finalised? Would you be more or less likely to finalise?

Annoying change in message box
I could have sworn that when I clicked on the message box for a given country, the message box autoscrolled to the bottom. (Was that my imagination?) It doesn't do it anymore (after the update), which is frustrating. I'm running FireFox 3.5.1 on OSX. Maybe I'll whip up a GreaseMonkey script to do it for me... Anyway, thanks for keepings running and up to date! I love my phpdiplomacy... i mean webdiplomacy! :)
