< Are ghost ratings an alternative to these scoring systems, or is that more of an Elo thing that isn't compatible with our points system? I have no idea. But you know what could be great, having the option to set a minimum ghost rating to join a game. Not sure how easy to implement that would be t...

Once I've linked my account, when I click logout I get an exception bug (though it does log me out after). I am not currently able to use the linked account to sign in (not sure if expected or not)

Breaking anon is not against our site rules. Cheating accusations in a game chat is against the rules. The game in question is not restricted so anyone can post about it if they so wish. Nobody in that game is cheating. I think we can probably let this thread die a natural death now.

There are not any active mods currently, volunteering is unfortunately down significantly these days. I have addressed that game though.

Can anyone explain to me why Rulebook Press isn't the default system here on WebDip (and perhaps other online hosts too)? I mean, maybe it wouldn't make games that much shorter (although it would make them somewhat shorter). I just wonder why the online game decided to go a different way from the i...

Yes this sounds very easy I can't believe no one has done it before

Meta AI Research is holding a paid speedboat tournament to evaluate their latest no-press Diplomacy bot. The tournament will run for about a month and will involve up to several games each day staggered throughout the day. Participants can play as many or as few games as they like, but should play a...

Curious how many folks were aware of his colored history, the best/most recent video I've found discussing it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Pt-p8Bihc

aurelin has graciously stepped up as the site's newest admin. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for the site!

We're supporting this server, and look forward to partnering with them on their games.

in fact, we should mark those unvaccinated

You can go convince a mod to unsilence you from the forum now.

The critical problem continues to be - and I wish certain people would stop denying it- is the original creators programmed the bots to recognize the human player AND programmed certain bots to be passive/others aggressive which actually removes realism (the passive bots will sit and do nothing whe...

I suppose you'll get much more of it if you or JMO or Kestas instal Vdip and Ru-server variants. Also we need posibility to select the language of interface and language-rooms, where you can create games between the chineese-speaking or russian-speaking players, etc. I really think it's a bad thing...

Alright .. I rather unwisely tried to change the forum around without thinking it through, it needs more thought and input so I've reverted that. If there are any problems with the forum let me know, but it should be the posts+users from after the change with forums from before the change. Have you...

Agreed, I think the majority of our new players are not necessarily familiar with the game, and if they messed up orders shortly into using the site we'd likely lose them retention wise. Having an opt IN to allowing incorrect orders seems reasonable though.

Home page seems to have an error showing up.

Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_gpc() is deprecated in /var/www/webdiplomacy.net/public_html/header.php on line 95

Are you still seeing that? I can't reproduce it.

Looks like Kestas missed a setting in the config file when he moved the server that limits the variant types that the button can be displayed in. When the variants aren't in the config it defaults to all games. Should be fixed now.

I'm afraid I just had another slow load time (several minutes).

I am using dark mode.

Was it the home page or something else on the site?

Has anyone ran into the issue of the site being slow to load who is NOT on dark mode? I noticed that part of the delay was a missing css file in the KnownWorld variant and created a blank file, and I immediately stopped seeing the delayed load times. If you run into this again please let me know here.
