Hi all, FYI we've changed our DNS host to Cloudfare; it has features to improve speed by caching static content like images, and gives options for security improvements and handling of spikes in activity. I've enabled caching only on www.webdiplomacy.net and play.webdiplomacy.net, not webdiplomacy.n...

Very interesting. Didn't know until this vid and some further digging that yolo5 (a user that I ran into multiple times last summer, in non-tournament games) was the bot. Wish those games were unranked like the tournament ones were... We were asked to keep certain bot accounts under wraps to ensure...

Interesting stuff.. were you expert 1, 2 or 3? Going to talk to Noam about whether we can run any of these bots here to mix it up a bit from the DipNet bots, and provide some varying difficulties etc.

Let's move on.. What are people's thoughts on transgender athletes? The little mermaid having dark skin? Veganism and animal cruelty?

(just kidding obviously .. )

Surprised you relit this JECE, a bit trollish of you .. :P Oof .. between some rocks and hard places here .. any other mods around?.. I think there's something to criticize in what Yoyo/JECE/Octavious/Doom/and definitely myself have posted frankly, to greater and lesser extents.. But this might be o...

Also we've done a bunch of work behind the scenes on how the data entered this way is processed. This brings it much closer to the final goal which is being able to see pre-existing relationships and suspicions before joining a game, and being able (via an optional setting) to exclude players which ...

Hi all, A new feature intended to streamline how we handle people with relationships outside of the site and multi-accounters / meta-game suspicions has been added to the group panel / user relation feature. Although all suspicions and existing relationships logged in the group panel are available f...

Is there still a need for new mods to help with workload? There is, thanks for asking (and thanks for making use of the suspicion lodging functionality) The reason we're not adding new mods is that we're putting in some new features in the background to try and reduce the mod workload in various wa...

Oops a divide by 0, always forget something.. Thanks that's fixed now:

I've made some changes to reliability ratings; the previous optimizations meant you couldn't really see what was going on with the calcs if they went wrong, but now what's shown on your profile is tied to the actual numbers used in the new calcs. It seemed like the way it was calculated was built on...

Thanks for letting me know about that, must have accidentally deleted an include that looked similar to something I was working on the other day, should be sorted now This problem has resurfaced. Damn .. I just tried and it seems to be working: Screenshot 2022-10-11 155355.png Are you not seeing th...

I love eating at McDonald's. Haters gonna hate, though. Yeah have to admit a class angus burger .. or like flash says a hotcakes and sausage mcmuffin .. Definitely no complaints. Probably once every week or two I'll need something very quick or want to prepare for a big day and stop in. I'm the opp...

Appreciate you being straightforward JECE, and I think you're right.. Doom427 I apologize: JECE is right that I definitely don't and can't know you're a hateful / prejudiced person based on this brief back and forth, and I did make that comment without giving myself time to think it through. When I ...

Okay; so the RR calculations previously would do a scan of the entire user table and the entire missed turns table for every turn and every user, and this was the cause of some of the locking issues so it needed to be optimized, so a few dev cycles ago I optimized the RR calcs. There was a bug in th...

I don’t like stuff like this: https://twitter.com/thatguyscotland/status/1448211977629798402 I wish men would stop catcalling me from their cars, and I really wish they would stop fucking women who were black out drunk. If you think this is unacceptable discourse because it doesn't treat men as the...

Terrible writing and shallow plotlines are nothing new, but blatant open sexism being okay again is something new and weird in a world that's more tolerant towards almost everything. And setting it up so that you're either a white male incel/republican/nazi/misogynist if you don't approve of what D...

America has a lot of republican incel woman-haters, and that generates some of the hate. Brie Larson, in her 1st interview, interupted a male reported and said she only wanted ocmments from females. That put a lot of men against her. Currently, most of the hate is towards She-Hulk. It is intentiona...

Apologies; a change was made to remerge the github and latest codebase and a change went missing. I still don't understand how it worked when I tested it..

Let me know if any issues persist, I've added time to all games. Thanks for reporting this.

Hi Spitnaz, there does seem to be a bug with RRs, we changed the way it's calculated to reduce the locking issues and improve performance. Has it updated for you or it is still the same?

Phew.. Okay it seems to be working with the new version now, let me know if there are any issues, I've tested on Firefox and Chrome
