Oh, yeah, I read the answer to that question backwards. Guess withdrawn.

Redirect to Beta Map for non-logged in users

I noticed that when I'm not logged into the site and I try to browse to something like "https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=761586&viewArchive=Orders" I automatically get redirected to the beta version of the map. By chance is there something that I can put in the URL to prevent the redirectio...

Re: Ghost Rating Challenge 09/23

Spectating game 2, saw all the NMRs, wondered what was going on. I had a thought just now and wondered what others think of it... for these kind of games, does anyone think it would be worth implementing some sort of "power selection" mechanic where the lowest GR rated player gets to pick their powe...

Re: Bot Talk

I'd be interested in seeing your statistics. I had exactly the same impression about the Mos-StP opening, which seemed to amount up to 50% when I draw England (out of a very small sample of max 10 games as England, which I used to play on play.webdiplomacy.org, i.e. the games haven't been archived)...

Re: Twenty questions: the gross round

Thanks! From the list that Jamiet99uk posted (of questionable reliability given that Gerolamo Cardano is described as a "South African Politician and Zulu Tribal Leader Who Was Home Minister of South Africa from 1994 to 2004") it was pretty straightforward to narrow it down by process of eliminatio...

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 143

So we seek a male duck, goose, chicken or turkey (but probably a duck since it's a semi-common household pet) Postscript: The only one of those four that we haven't raised here at my house is goose. I've heard of guard geese. But really, indoors? No, outdoors. "At my house" means "in the coop/barn/...

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 143

I had never heard of Count Duckula before this round. But, Wikipedia has everything, including a "list of fictional ducks in animation" (!). Yeah, I googled "list of cartoon ducks" and he was on the list (most were Disney characters). I was considering giving the clue of "ketchup" at some point... ...

Guess: Woody Woodpecker??? The options get slimmer by the hour
An excellent guess, but, no, not Woody Woodpecker. You had a free guess already, so this counts as question 19. One question left.

Woody does not have a mythical/non-mundane aspect to him...
