I recently got into Diplomacy and it has been a blast, as my excitement for the game grew, the more the urge to create some rudimentary commands to my discord bot grew. I searched for an API but could not find one so I decided to just web scrape which works but is quite annoying and brings overall ...

So as mentioned previously Codazen and FAIR have been working on a new, more modern UI for us to help support the AI bot development business, and I think it's looking very good. It's still a couple of weeks from the planned launch, but we've now got the first functional version deployed to the stag...

Thanks Kestasjk. Some thoughts: (1) This is a tool I have to now use and put my hands up for not using when it became clear I had 1 relationship I should have flagged. Am a committed player of several years and am very happy to be a case study/test case for whatever makes things better for the site...

First case of users who were found to have a relationship outside of the site using the new system: https://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=410747 Peru and Florida, which were detected as possible multis and banned, but appealed with a plausible excuse, were warned about declaring relationship...

Thanks, introduced a regression but it's working again now

Tweaked the game panel code tournament director code to optimize the number of queries needed. The board has been stripped of some redundant code, bot voting optimized. 1-human vs bots games no longer show up in the game listings except your own games. Caching for game listing counts, order by pot s...

This thread is for relatively minor tweaks / updates that aren't worth announcing, but some might be interested in or want to know why a change occurred ------ FYI due to getting lots of requests about leaving bot games / bot games cluttering things up etc we've changed the logic so in bot only game...

Thanks for reporting that, and good idea Claesar

Good ideas all, next dev cycle in 2-3 weeks I will work through these and improve things based on the feedback so far

I tried to report us in a relationship again, but got another error. Happy to work off message board if it would be better. That said, I suspect most metagamers won't be too concerned with voluntarily reporting themselves, and the bigger item will be collecting data on others' reports... That is tr...

I think this is a decent idea, but there may be some bugs in the implementation. First, I tried to test reporting a relationship with you, with the intent of withdrawing it after report, but I couldn't do that. It errored out once I tried to report. So not sure that part if working yet. Hmm, yep I ...

Hmm, what exception do you get? Could you get a screenshot or some such? Yep it doesn't allow sign on yet; once we've ironed out all the kinks we'll start offering it for authentication. I do have trouble myself using the Log out function, but for me it just doesn't log me out and I need to clear co...

Hi, Dealing with cheaters is a large part of what the mod team do to keep the site fun to play on, and I think we've been reminded recently how important mod time or the lack of it is to the site. So we're trialing a system that aims to let users take more control over relationships between users. "...

Hi all, As part of a push to reduce the load on the mod team, and modernizing the platform, we're trialing letting users link their accounts to external authentication providers, e.g. Facebook/Google/Apple/etc, and SMS phone linking. The idea is it gives more robust and modern authentication and mak...

Hahah, I don't want to reignite any of those old scoring system debates.. If there isn't a consensus (even a consensus to try it) probably best to leave alone for the moment Are ghost ratings an alternative to these scoring systems, or is that more of an Elo thing that isn't compatible with our poin...

I'd be fine with changing the default to SOS if the consensus is that that would be an improvement?

Hi all,

FYI the reliability ratings have been optimized and made more live for all users. The yearly counts were quite a bit out of sync I believe, so the ratings will have jumped around a bit.
Let me know if you see anything you don't think is right.

Rgds,
Kestas

Yep very true, we do need to add this

Okay spoke to Philip who pointed out an issue with the www.webdiplomacy.net certificate, it seems the MILA bots use the www URL, which apparently our status check scripts didn't catch. I've fixed the cert and will fix the status bot. Still not sure what happened with that update, clearly some Apache...
