Ok, I do realise that this might seem a bit OCD and this is even more useless than my last discussion about the inflation, AND, what would be worst, might have been already mentioned, but

WHY THE HELL ISN'T HEARTLAND BROOOOOOOWN?!

...speaking of banning things...

User "eddardstark" has recently been banned. ( userID=53127 ) The ban message in the account profile says "Banned by a moderator: refer to jmo"

I hereby refer to jmo. Jmo, what on earth does that mean?

Since no ESPN anchor never said, "Let's go look at our latest MLB Mock Draft," let's watch the MLB Draft tonight. Yay.

And when Trey gets drafted by the Red Sox, I get to call him up and tell him he plays for my boys now.

I recently noticed that, on the new modern diplomacy variant map, the northwestern peninsula of France is called Brittany on the normal map, but on the large map it is called Brest. There's really no effect on the game, it's just something I noticed. I don't have units over that way so I don't know how the order windows show it.

Whenever I see a player banned for multi I have a tendency to look over their games. And in pretty much every game they play they are the only player banned from that game. How can they be a multi if in every game they play they are the only banned player. Or am I to assume you let the individual keep 1 account on the site? This seems odd to me.

I was talking about travel in another thread and I go to thinking ... How many of us have traveled the Diplomacy map? I am about to convoy from BEL to LON (via Chunnel) and thence to LVN (via Lufthansa). I do not live on the map, but I have been many places on it. More ...

Hi guys, I have a question that I will pose in a general form for you all to debate.

I'm trying to get a copy of a whitepaper. I know there are some people here connected to Universities. Does anyone have access to the following paper? Thanks!
Cosart, L. "Precision Packet Delay Measurements Using IEEE 1588v2," in IEEE International Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement, Control and Communication." Vienna, Austria. 2007.

I've looked in the FAQ. I've looked in the joinable games. I found the game but it doesn't have the join option at the bottom. Help me, Spock.

If a live game gets cancelled after everyone goes into civil disorder, do your get your points back?

........I expect you guys already knew this, that does sound like a lot of data though

In a game where England and Austria are missing from the beginning; Italy holds out and refuses to cancel, so everyone is stuck in a crappy game; the moment Italy starts to see it's lead falter 90 minutes later, it cancels. WTF?

Hey all. I'm flying away for a weekend and I've got 3 ongoing games that need tending to.
Can someone please sit my account from tomorrow until Monday?
PM me if you can. Thanks.

I wonder - has anyone ever cared to count the inflation rate of points in WebDiplomacy? I know this would me most likely the most useless task ever, but I actually like knowing such useless things : D

Isnt it mistake? It changes the game completely...

God botherer and pestilential provocative proselytiser, Forbes Morrison has returned to the sleepy village between two rivers by the sea where I reside.

Does anybody know how countries are assigned to players? I've noticed I'm assigned certain countries more often than others.

It would be fun I think... Besides, I can actually be sure I'm around until it finishes, I normally can't commit to something that may take 3 hours...

36 minutes, however...
I think it would be ideal for some people, we could actually play a tournament in an evening if it's well planned, imagine that :)

General Question: What has been your typical response time from the Mods? Do they reply to all inquiries, even if they have decided to "pass" on an issue?

(Yeah...if your a mod...you have mail...it's growing old and moldy in terms of game time...)

Wilson style (public messages only) before we go to bed. classic map...anyone down?

I just did it with 14, but there's got to be way better than that.

Of course this is a crazy idea, I know, but why? That's what I'm trying to find out. It's less administration, it stimulates the economy in a way, since money quickly becomes worth less, so people spend or invest it as soon as they get it, meaning more money goes around instead of sitting on banks doing nothing...

Who will be the Twelfth Doctor

I once hear the rule: 'never get caught lying by any power with more than one SC'. This is something I use in-game, because I believe it gets better results. But I may be missing out, so please share your experiences.

When do you lie in-game? What is worth it for you? One SC? Two? Never?
And what do you expect from others? Is lying part of a good alliance? Or is an alliance over when it is no longer to be trusted?

i wish to leave a game and don't know how. can somebody help me out?

This is awesome. How does it work? When the NMR'd player returns to the game board, will they be given hold orders if they don't enter anything, or will the game wait indefinitely for them to enter some orders?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-to-leave-Doctor-Who FINALLY! He'll be leaving at the end of the year, and we'll get a new Doctor...hopefully one that doesn't act like a 5-year old on a sugar rush (to be fair, he wasn't the worst Doctor...but definitely not a fan...who would you like to see as the next Doctor, what direction should the show go--and sure, why not, an obligatory "Rank the Doctors, Best/Favorite to Worst/Least Favorite" List.)
