Can Turkey still get his last circle?
ID#55906
It seems I am stuck in 2 stalemates (Mediterranean Sea, Germany) and an upcoming 3rd, which will prevent me from ever getting St. Petersburg.

Status Update
Hello. I am a long time member to PHPdiplomacy, but I have been in a hiatus for over a year. Can anyone tell me what the new features are in the site since I last played. I am looking for a few high profile games.

High Stakes Game
Does anyone want to create a standard game with a pot around 200? Post if you would like to. Im thinking 1day/phase, public players and open chat. Probably PPSC.

I'm nearly done with the report I have been putting together. Austria, England, France and Germany are complete. I'm in the process of working on Italy, Russia, Turkey and some general statistics not dealing with any specific country.

Help for feeling like a bad person?
So i'm in a high point non-WTA gunboat, and everyone is playing a top notch game, we are able to communicate using support holds, etc. But then I stab my ally for SCs and profit. I feel sort of bad about it, because i'm essentially stealing a lot of points from somebody that was nice enough to play with me.

How can I feel better about myself in these circumstances?

Minor 'bug'
I stumbled on a very minor bug yesterday. If I have an army in Ruhr, supporting fleet in Belgium to hold, but I change that to support holding an army in Holland, it says: "Army Ruhr support hold to fleet Holland". Should this be fixed?

Hello, I have an idea for a game. The gameID=58416 is set up with No messaging and anon players. Normally the rule is not to discuss ongoing games in the forum, but here, this will be the point of the game. (I got this idea from the dark press game)

Pretty much that's it. A Button that copys you actual orders to the clipboard as plain text so you can post it in your chats.

What answers would you have given and why?

CHEATERS!! can the GMs verify?
I am not confident that France and England are different players in "The Return of the Conqueror" game
Can a fleet in English Channel that belongs to England support a french army in Bel if they do not talk to each other or "is" the same player?
This makes the confidence in this site VERY LOW!

Forum issue: timestamps
I've just noticed that there's (something that's potentially) an error in the timestamps on the forum. The stamps shouldn't specify the day/date/month when that date is not *today*, but in fact they don't specify when the post was created within the last 24 hours. Perhaps this was intentional, but when I see a timestamp reading 03:00 PM, even if it's actually 2:30 PM, I don't immediately realise that it was yesterday. Issue or not?

Will you be my friend? (For real this time)
I'd like to start a high-quality game with players I haven't played before. I'd like to get people who are newer to the site involved, but veterans who I don't know are also OK. The game will be WTA and I'd like non-anon, but if people really want anon that's fine, too. I reserve the right not to be your friend : ) If Tallfred is still interested, I've reserved a spot for him.

I owe a good deal of my knowledge of prominent European cities to Diplomacy. I was curious as to how well my fellow diplomats would do.

I couldn't get past level 12. As a Swede studying the Middle East, my biggest problems are actually USA, Canada and Australia. I can pinpoint Djibouti in my sleep but where the hell is Mount Rushmore?

Anyway I'll settle for being slightly worse than Tolstoy.

I've replayed the game after two years to see for myself and yes, I have to say Aye as well. However, if the map was bigger, it would be too easy to pinpoint cities like Andorra or Singapore.

Australia really screwed me up, as well as Brazil and that one Portuguese city in the Canary Islands, but overall it was pretty easy and fun. Russia didn't throw me off too much. I've studied enough WW1 and WW2 (and Risk lol) to know where most cities are

Brazil is my big downfall. And I was just a few shy of getting level 8, so I didn't even bother to scribble down my score.
gigantor (404 D)
11 May 11 UTC
Even coming from Australia, it's not easy. Even if I know aroundabout where a city (or more likely a famous place) is, it's all too easy to misplace it by hundreds of kilometres.

This time on Technology Weekly
I think it's great that people love talking politics and philosphoy so much, but there is only so much of it I can handle. However, I do know we've got a lot of technologists here as well, so I thought I'd pilot a Tech/Sci spin-off of obi's infamous series. I'll try to find an interesting thing to talk about, which people can comment on, or you can share your own stuff.
