Suggestion: Draw by centers
A lot of games end up with finishing off draw participants. Maximizing the outcome for the remaining powers. Not the best practice, from a certain perspective. Would it make sense to have the option for draws to not be equal. Everyone gets 1/7th (his entry cost) + a part of the rest, split proportionally to center count.

Can a convoy cut support?
I'm about to convoy an army to a territory A, with support from an adjacent territory B. My opponent has a unit in territory A and a unit in a third territory C adjacent to territory B. I'm worried he may order terC-terB with support from terA. I know that this will cut support from terB and make the convoy fail, but will the convoy at least cut support from terA and make his attack fail as well?
Thanks!

What is the smallest number of times Italy spoke to Turkey in this game?gameID=41016

Gonna guess never through the system given you bring this up?
Maniac (189 D(B))
05 Nov 10 UTC
Italy supports Turkey 15 times during this game. It isn't a gunboat game so talking is legal. So how come Italy has only ever sent 11 in game messages in all his games and one of those was to me. When as England I asked Russia "Can we talk" the response was "No".

Maniac (189 D(B))
05 Nov 10 UTC
I should say he supported in 15 different phases.
largeham (149 D)
05 Nov 10 UTC
I don't want to take this too far, because the game is still running, but he doesn't talk much. And he's either very good, or extremely unconventional.
It's over now, so I'll supply my thoughts. It's POSSIBLE that they planned out supports a couple years in advance by correctly guessing order resolution.

That said, I would report it if I were you.
Maniac (189 D(B))
05 Nov 10 UTC
@President eden - it is possible, but why not speak to confirm in a game that allows for and even encourages diplomacy.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
05 Nov 10 UTC
There's nothing to say the first of those 15 messages wasn't "Heya, I think we should work together. My email addy is <###> - dropza line!"
Right, I understand. I agree with the implied conclusion here. Check games history for a track record and see if you have a case.
damian (675 D)

I agree that does seems pretty suspicious, since in 14 finished games he only has 11 messages sent. (I know I talk too much, but I send on average 106 messages a game, sending only 11 for all his games and working out supports like that seems a touch odd)
@figle: But why, if the player prefers to use e-mail or chat, would he not ask the other players to do the same?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Maybe, he' so good at Diplomacy that he's trying to give others a fighting chance by not talking.

@ Indy. There's three of them. Look at JAKI98's profile. 20 listed games; 6 are with Pavle, 6 are with Mr. Luka, and 5 are with both. Not so much success without them...three defeats.

They could have been PMing or even IMing completely offsite. As long as it was a full press game and not anonymous, they wouldn't have been cheating.

chat room?
how much server strain would it be to set up a chat room for the live gamers? Working on the theory that you would then get to see who really was around, and whether or not it was worth starting a fresh game. Having the option to place icons after a name for things like "in a game" and "keen to play", and being able to show idle times and stuff like that?

Being new here I don't know if this has been discussed before but would be interested in feedback.
