The NHL Playoffs Are SET! (Who've You Got?)
All 16 teams are set! The Rangers and Blackhawks just squeak in, the Hurricanes and Stars jsut miss out, and all three California teams, the Kings, the sharks, and my Ducks, are in the playoffs...more Californian teams than Canadian teams! So...who'll defeat who, and when the dust settles, which team will get to drink from Lord Stanley's Cup this year? :D

Will coalition survive AV vote debacle?
What do you make of Huhne going off the deep end on the Tories? I think Cameron's crowd really made a mess of things by attacking the Libs for broken promises when those broken promises helped support the Tories in government. I think an election is likely. What say you?

Capturing pieces
Are there any varients of diplomacy where a unit, surrounded and not able to retreat, are captured rather than destroyed (perhaps to be used as future bargaining chips). I would think that would add alot to the game. Just curious.

Osama Bin Laden Conspiracy Solution
So the thread about OBL has been dragging on with the two sides getting nowhere. I propose a fixed-alliance game of Diplomacy to solve it. On one side will be me, Invictus and Santa Clauswitz. On the other will be Darwyn, Sicarus and mapleleaf. The final unalligned player will be someone who hated the entire thread such as Sayjo or Siddhartha. My challenge has been put forth, I hope you all accept.

I can't find the email for the mods; one of our players hasn't been around for 5-6 days and our next league game has just started, we don't want him to miss out - could this be paused? Thanks heaps, I imagine he should be back sooner or later,

Wow, I though I had a terrible month as well - I was dreading the latest ratings and rather glad for the delay! - but I moved up 3 places to Rank 16!

Well done to Vaftrudner who climbed 26 spots to Rank 17! I've played some great games with you and you're a great, classy player.

Likewise to Troodonte! Nice jump!

Dear Ghost-Much thanks for the great work you do. Much work, no pay, you might as well be working for NPR. I am not quite sure how I'm ranked so highly after I got my ass kicked this month as well, but maybe I just picked a great month to quite sniffing glue andd shooting haroin! I really do like finding out where I am, and it is much more fun in the last few months than it used to be.

I got a loss instead of a draw on my record due to another player NMRing during the crucial stalemate period. Ugh. Another reason I want a non-phase-advancing NMR option.

Ghost rating versus games played:

http://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=GVIZ&t=SCATTER&width=1200&height=640&q=select+col2%2C+col1+from+816576++order+by+col1+desc+skip+0+limit+500

(this graph has no caption :( however, to be clear, the highest ghost-rating (madmarx) is just shy of 800, and he has played less than 200 games. )

This following is the same chart, but zoom'd in on the 'normal' people:

http://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=GVIZ&t=SCATTER&width=1200&height=640&q=select+col2%2C+col1+from+816576+where+col2+%3C%3 D+%27300%27+and+col1+%3C%3 D+%27200%27+order+by+col1+desc+skip+0+limit+500

*here 'normal' is defined as less than 200 games played and a GR of less than 200.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
09 May 11 UTC
those links may need some fixing, as the letter 'D' turns into a 23 D when you put number beside it...

orathaic (1009 D(B))

'normal' people: http://tinyurl.com/67cxxr6

this is the ghost rating versus games played for people with less than 200 as their GR (and a random sample of the complete set of players, so not sorted by GR/Games played)

The point of this is to see how people with a low GR compare...

There is a clear fanning effect, that as you play more games your GR gives a better idea of how good you are.

I'd like to hear what ghost has to say about this!
Oh noes I suckzor haha

How do you get involved in games that count towards your GR?
orathaic (1009 D(B))

all games count, unless Ghost has taken gunboat and public press only games out of the Gr rating system. (please see the first link for more information)
Draugnar (0 DX)

As was said, all games count. But certain variants are weighted less.
chenf (689 D)

I have a question for Ghost. In PPSC, are draws calculated by SC, or are they calculated by 1/n where n is number of players in the draw.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
09 May 11 UTC
Variants are weighted less, but all games count.

The normal people scatter is pretty cool, thanks orathaic.

I might be able to give you data to plot each player's progression with time, which would be pretty cool, but will have to wait for post-exams.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
09 May 11 UTC
i can take the data from previous versions of the list, and work out the difference, i just haven't explored it yet... and i should be able to create a simple webform which lets players easily access their own data....

but for now i'm just playing around...

Webdiplomacy interface preventing legal move to Sevastapol from Armenia via land.
In a game I am currently in, the web diplomacy interface is not allowing me to order a Turkish Army to move via land into Sevastapol. When I try to select this order it states, "viaConvoy parameter set to invalid value No" Is this a known error? While I know that it would be unreasonable for me to expect an immediate fix for this error, I would greatly appreciate it if
