Holiday Book advice, I need a good Ancient History overview
Exactly what the title says, I aways finish fiction books too quick while lounging poolside in the holidays, What I would like is a big history book, Id like to expand my knowledge of the ancient world, the persians,greeks,chinese and so on up to the mongols, maybe 3000bc to 1300ad or so. Could it all be contained in one glorious book? any advice?

Anyone use jdip on a mac?
Trying to figure out how to run it... I think I have java.. I don't know what's wrong all I get is a blank screen. I'm anything but an IT guy, so help is appreciated

also i have a request of the mods - will you allow me to make 7 accounts and run test cases here in private games? their names will be obvious multi accounts and they will only ever play with each other..?

that would be swell but i can understand it if you'd not allow it

Couldn't you find examples from games already on the site? I guess so though, sounds reasonable enough. When is said club?
Onar (131 D)

Idea: make these test accounts public, so anyone can use them for adjudication/demonstration/education purposes.

You could always try out Realpolitik, it's perhaps a little less user friendly than JDip (and a bit uglier) but a solid program nonetheless. http://realpolitik.sourceforge.net/
figlesquidge (2131 D)

@Onar - Or make 7 of these accounts under site control and let people use them when they explained when and why, rather than risk them being exploited. Would have to talk to the others about the whole proposal first though
Thucydides (864 D(B))

couldnt make that one work either dumbdrummer... i've been trawling around looking for an in-browser adjudicator but couldnt find one.

Thucy, I know this may sound obvious, but walk me through what you did/see. I'm no computer genius, but I have played with jDip successfully on my Mac.

It starts up with an empty window, and menus at the top, and to start a 'game' you'd do file->new->game. I assume this is already beyond what you can get at?

but yeah i dont think i can make a 7 account so.... i guess i'm out of luck. no worries i guess.
fortknox (2059 D)

Thuc, go to the java site (java.sun.com) and make sure you have the latest runtime. Install it if you don't. That should make the jar runnable. If not, I'll walk you through the command line to get it running.

Also, regarding this 'showing off' of webdip: why not just d/l webdip and run it locally to show it off? Seems like you are using a production product (this site) to do test/demo stuff. Test/demo stuff should be run in user acceptance or certification style environments (same hardware and stuff as prod, but meant for high level final testing, not real usage).
fortknox (2059 D)
30 Nov 10 UTC
btw - you want the java runtime environment (JRE), but if you have a hard time finding that, just get the java software development kit (JDK), as it has the JRE inside of it.

lets get rid of draws
there should be a game mode that is PPSC but no draws. i am sick of people going into games with the idea that there will be a 2-3 person draw from the start. the only way a draw in these game should be initiated is if there are no advancements from any side able an admin or whatever can assess the game and make sure it is actually draw, otherwise itd be cancelled

No more End of Game statements
Everyone loves talking about what you were thinking and how surprised you were by a player's move or a stab, but no one outside of your game gives a shit. The only exception is games with good players like the Mad Marx games who's commentary would actually help people get better

Player banned during an Anon game.
Was the players name "Auto" or was that a mistake caused by the game being anonymous? And should the code-like text <inside triangular brackets> be there or was that triggered by the same thing? I'm not complaining, I'm just asking.
