Re: 303x7 Gunboat - 1 spot left

I see you are new here. As you see, you were given 100 WebDip "points" to start off with. This game required a bet of 303 WebDip points to join, so you would not have been able to join it. 303 is quite a bit larger than the average game, but nowhere near the highest bet ever.

Re: Top 100 Gunboat

@NEFS, I only see 7 all-time top 100 players who are actively playing gunboat games. I added the Czech, who I think is the next highest in GB GR rank. You may want to expand the range to top 250 or 300. Just a suggestion... Theoneandonly 17 New England Fire Squad 19 V+ 21 Troodonte 29 Tugster 39 dia...

Bird populations. The trees and skies were filled with birds when I was a child (1950s and early 1960s)

Re: Civil Disorder Take-overs

As many have said... and IMHO: If GR points were deducted from the original players, the incentive to CD would be removed. The distribution of GR points at the end of the game is fine as is.

Re: CD and RR% hit when taking excused missed turn

Thanks.

I had previously heard (on the forum) that the CD stats are not working correctly.

CD and RR% hit when taking excused missed turn

I recently used an Excused Missed Turn in a game (I had been away and thought I should take more time on my moves). Unless its my imagination, I think that my CD count and CDs taken over count both went up by 1 and my RR% fell by approximately 2.3%. Is it just me, or is this what happens to a player...

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge

I don't think, at this point, that the quality of Russia's play matters that much. Germany's advance has been, and probably will be, a bit faster than it would have been had Russia entered reasonable orders, but Russia was in trouble regardless. Russia was Turkey's ally (thus far), so I'm not sure t...

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge

@Unknown Hero

Did the original Russia rejoin, or has one of the "Game2" players taken the slot? (I'm not asking which Game2 player, if this is the case)

I know its anon, but if you know, then all should know. Yes?
