Playing Live games, I get 2 times. The actual one and then the IPad makes a second time about 1min later. Basically means I get 3.55mins for each phase not 5!
Yes. I get a brief look at a time as it's loading. (usually a minute or so behind) then it jumps to actual time but I'm basically a minute behind the whole time
Yes its a bit a tricky. There is no precise way of setting the iPad time. You just have to try to get it as close to the game clock as possible. You can see the real time remaining momentarily when you refresh to the board.
The way the time works on this website is that the server sends it to you in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). Then the javascript in the browser converts it based on your computer's timezone and calculates the time remaining when compared to your clock.
So if your clock is off, then the times it displays will be off. Ideally you want to have your computer synched up with a time server on the internet. But if that isn't possible with an iPad then you just have to do the best you can.
You can install an called Emerald Time which will tell you precisely how out of sync your iPad/iPhone is with the Network Time Protocol servers on the net. Currently my iPad is almost spot on (0.03 of a second off).
We seen the stats before about the average number of messages per game. That is one way of looking at it. But some people post lots of short messages, while others write essays. How much do you really write?
People of webDiplomacy: What is your MBTI Personality Type/Socionics type?
I'm off today and thinking about the subject because my girlfriend and I talk about this quite a lot, especially in regard to other people, and I've a feeling the implications of it translate well in predicting Diplomacy behavior. So what are you?
I'll visit the church with his body tomorrow so feel free to join. Regard this thread as a counterbalance to the thread about Kim Jong-Il. If one of the greatest assholes gets his own thread, the greatest pussy should get it as well.
Any graduate student/professor of Psychology on this site?
I am interested in doing a correlational study concerning the game of Diplomacy and its players. For starter, I want to correlate myers-briggs/keirsey personalities and general intelligence with game performance, chat frequency, and country preference. If you are interested, please post here or PM me if you are concerned with your RL identity (preferred).
In 1927, the corrupt politicians of Washington state created a monopoly of ferry rights on Lake Chelan to a company owned by cronies. Today a pair of brothers have a case challenging this monopoly and Will writes brilliantly about it. If you European and not American don't waste your time.
1) Please join me in congratulating FK on his promotion to Admin 2) I have drafted a set of guidelines containing every possible scenario I could think of. It is being reviewed by the rest of the mod team now. Although Mods will still have autonomy, it will serve as an official reference for us, so we can do a better job at making consistent decisions.
The website told me to write a four-line summary because my post was too big :oops: I'm organizing a Face-to-Face game in New York City, with the hopes to eventually create a "proper" F2F community! Pitch follows.
I want to host a game at my home with my friends, showing webdiplomacy map on TV screen and using it as move validator. Is there a way to enter orders for all of my friends, using only one user? Some sort of 'game super-user'?
Any of these players or others with GR 200-300 fancy a game? The Czech, Diplomat33, mr.crispy, Spell of Wheels, Countess Tillian, JECE, Yellowjacket, Ursa, WhiteSammy and dD_ShockTrooper
