The dictator strike again
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/voter-suppression-scandal-will-be-a-test-of-harpers-leadership/article2350684/

First vetoing bills using unelected senators, now cheating in the election to get a majarity. Is Harper a dictator or elected official?

Butter or guns? EOG
So what happened - why did I bother to join this game only to see it end in a 7-way draw before the autumn 1902 moves? I'm sure there's a good answer....

Time-wasters who team up with their mates.......
and enter anonymous games and team up against everyone else and usually but not always win. Then they spend all their time making sure they get 17 SCs each before drawing. Then flushed with their 'success' they start doing it in further matches. I just want to play a game with genuine competition where people win on merit and not because they teamed up with their schoolmates. How can this be stopped or how can I prevent getting stuck in games with these imbeciles?

this is what i think of people frowning upon me
i don't care.

what happens if you're playing a non-live game and the tides have turned, and it's clear your alliance will lose, and none of the opposition will defect? for live games, i usually play them through because it doesn't take too long to end them, but who wants to spend weeks playing a game that you will eventually lose?

Somaliland
Does anyone else ever get frustrated at the lack of international recognition of Somaliland? I find myself coming back to this subject over and over, trying to find any good reason to not recognize a democratic state in Africa with a history of free and fair elections, non-violent transitions of power, and relatively stable economic growth.

DATC and the known errors on this site
I took a look at the DATC tests here (http://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php) and noticed that 6.H (Retreating), 6.I (Building) and 6.J (Civil Disorder and Disbands) were all missing. Two of the most prominent errors on this site fall in this area (ending games before retreats and incorrect civil disorder disbands).

Failed move?!
Basicly the situation was that while playing as turkey in the late 1901 I moved my army from Bul to Gre and another one from Con to Bul via land, supported by a fleet in the black sea, but somehow the move failed and the army order is referred as hold in the orders log. My other army emptied Bul and noone else attacked there so why did the move fail? Any ideas?

Points Lost in Cheating Matches
Do the moderators reimburse points to players retrospectively when they find they were victims of cheating in previous matches?
Also on a general point why do so many people try and cheat, what is the point?
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

#1 I think so maybe

#2 a damn good question. I can't figure it out myself. Since they can't be getting any sense of reward or accomplishment (the better they "do," the more likely it is they'll be caught by more experienced players), they must just get their jollies off of fucking with other people.

On #2, I always found this interesting - http://bit.ly/cheats-lies

"Using experiments where people could cheat on a test, Chance has found that cheaters not only deceive themselves, but are largely oblivious to their own lies. Their ruse is so potent that they’ll continue to overestimate their abilities in the future, even if they suffer for it. Cheaters continue to prosper in their own heads, even if they fail in reality."

Whoah, Santosh. So they may actually think that they are good at the game?? lol that's FUNNY.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's why liars preserve the lie right down to the bitter end, they just can't face the horrible truth.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

I see cheating as a waste of time... if you sit down with a group of people (either virtually or in real life) to play a game, you are implicitly agreeing to play by some set of rules.

If you are going to break the rules then what was the point of sitting down in the first place, you could just sit on your own and declare you have won! (see: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~orathaic/multiswebdip/ )

if I want to have fun (and for me a game isn't about anything else, we're just playing) then I like to get a big challenge, cheating would reduce the challenge, it would become very easy to win, and thus pointless.

me too orathaic, but read santosh's post. I'm convinced. This is the only explanation that makes sense to me. I don't believe there are so many people who would do it "for the lulz" as we get.

"Also on a general point why do so many people try and cheat, what is the point?"

Illegal gambling. There's big money going down on these games.
"big money going down on these games."

WHAT. I COULD HAVE RETIRED A YEAR AGO WTFFFFFF

@YJ, making me read? how dare you!!! ok, i'm vaguely interested in this topic... although i like the fact that getting people to think about morality before giving them the opportunity to cheat reduces their cheating rate. (interesting TED talk if you haven't seen it)

website does not always display all games / how do you resign a game?
The website does not always display all 4 of my games at the top. Therefore, I got into a game on the late end of the turn and got attacked because I couldn't negotiate from the beginning, and it is ruined once again. This would not have happened if I could have resigned the first 2 games. They continue to display at the top of the screen even though I want to quit. How do you resign / surrender?
Overall, I have had a much worse experience with this website than I expected.
