FYI I’ve disabled the bot alerts and added a service statuscake integrates with called Pushover which acts as an iOS app that is supposed to ignore everything and send critical notifications until they’re acknowledged. I’ll set a timer to go off tomorrow morning to check that it’s working

Welcome to all the people new to the site/forum here btw; sorry if you’ve got a bad first impression, the recent AI publication did but a fair bit of extra load on the system, though I can’t claim that’s the whole explanation. We are going through a bit of rocky period re: stability; I swear the sit...

Apologies all, I’ve added 24 hours and reset the last process period. Will look into what happened and let you know.

I get it, but last time the problem was I didn't add enough time. The worry is that someone had orders to enter but it's late or they have other obligations, so they miss that 3 hour window to enter their orders and the next three hours they can't access the server, so they can't submit turns out o...

Amazing! Looking forward to reading the paper(s). How much investment would it be to get that many gpu cores and how many diplomacy players (worldwide) would join this site as a result? Are there any other communities/websites involved in similar efforts? Did this bit also use other websites to tra...

Hi all, With FAIR winding down their AI research they’ve decommissioned their FairBot which used to run our FvA GvI games. As a stopgap I subbed in the MILA bot just to see if it worked at all, and it looks like it does and at least plays sensibly. However I’ve never played an FvA game to any level ...

Im certain there could be more tweaking to be done to find an appropriate algorithm that is more or less fair (as measured by number/ratio of missed turns compared to a typical turn perhaps?) All in all, this is a much better simple solution than what was happening before thanks Hmm, it'd be intere...

Kestas, did you catch this from the global chat of this game? "2. When I put in the Pause vote a couple of days ago, the game also entered a Draw vote, which I did not enter." It reminds me of a serious error that I experienced back in 2009: https://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?threadID=499708 Damn, ...

Regarding the game I fixed the bad adjudication so things can continue, thanks for reporting

It's quite something this bug has been undetected for so long. The core adjudicator hasn't changed in over a decade now! I've added a test case to check this: A.png And I've changed the adjudicator so that a unit has 0 support strength against their own country when doing a country check. All the ot...

I got a report of an adjudicator bug. I think it's been over a decade since we last had a confirmed report of an adjudicator bug so I always give the adjudicator the benefit of the doubt, but this does seem like a bug: https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=455699 Previous turn positions: B.png C...

Congrats to the Meta team! it's not just the Zuckerverse they do some very cool stuff too. Look forward to reading and digesting this properly I asked whether we'd be able to get it running permanently and was told the AI needed 56 GPUs to run.. so it'll be a while before you can play against a full...

Apologies for the downtime recently, not sure what is causing it yet but we do know why it wasn’t triggering the alert, the meta bots aren’t responding so there are orders stuck in the queue which means it has been stuck in failure mode for days so not triggering when another failure happens. It has...

Waking up in the morning to learn webDip went down 4 hours ago with a new failure mode after spending months trying to make it more stable.. Just the best feeling in the world

kestas, does excusing misses that occurred mean you would allow someone to rejoin a game that they were kicked from? a game that I am in had that situation, which doesn't seem fair to the player who was booted Yep that's right; any kind of issue with points / bans / missed turns / reliability ratin...

FYI the downtime was between Sat Nov 19 02:34:23 UTC 2022 1668825154 and Sat Nov 19 04:04:33 UTC 2022 1668830802. There were 6 missed turns across 4 games and 6 users, luckily it looks like they were all extended due to the missed turn so there are no games that people missed submitting orders for. ...

Damn it.. I added a feature that I tested on the dev system here that runs PHP 8, but the function doesn't exist in PHP 7 which the production server is running on. Because the function only gets run for logged on users it meant the status check didn't trigger and the gamemaster and bot API kept run...

Yep yep constructive criticism, frankly any criticism because there’s always a germ of truth, is always welcome. It might be best to scan for all missed turns due to the downtime and remove them all
