I'm thinking of setting up a new passworded game
I'll be using your published stats to decide if I want to play against you or not.
I understand that statistics can sometimes be unreliable, as well as lies and, indeed, damn lies.

Why is there still so much war in the world?
2014 and there are still lots of wars going on, have we not progressed at all as a species, we think we are above animals but we are not because they only kill for food, we kill for all sorts of bullshit excuses. Is that what education has given us, more reasons to kill our fellow homo-sapiens?

Replacement player unable to join
This issue relates to the following game:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=139971
We have had Russia being banned for multi-accounting apparently, and we were told by GameMaster to try to find another player, which was promptly done. However, the replacement player allegedly cannot find the "join" button for the game and therefore cannot join. Could we please get some guidance as to what we should do in this case?

I have never gone CD either, but 2 show up on my stats now. What's with that? I really like the reliability rating but I do not like my "no-CD" record tarnished.

I used to be pretty unreliable, but the number on my profile is simply not true.

I wouldn't panic guys. The feature hasn't even been announced. I'm sure kestas is trying it out with old data to see if it's working.

yebellz (729 D(G))
18 Apr 14 UTC
The only CDs I have are from mods moving me out of tournament games that I shouldn't have been placed in.
VirtualBob (209 D)
18 Apr 14 UTC
I also see (now) that some people have "resigns" in addition to "CD" ... at least I do not have any of those!

Great addition to the site regardless. Can't wait until the new game creation template allows specification of a minimum reliability rating.
yebellz (729 D(G))

steephie22 (182 D(S))

abgemacht (1076 D(G))
18 Apr 14 UTC
Yeah, I'm not sure what the difference between the three are.

There should only be two things: missing a phase and leaving the game, so it's odd there are now three counters.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
18 Apr 14 UTC
@abge and VB, yes you both have. It's counting when a mod forces you into CD to allow a replacement. I'll let Kestas know so he can correct that.

How's this reliability rating work ? Reliability as in if you ever missed a phase?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

lol. Well in that case my two CDs are from when I forced myself into CD!

Those profile numbers aren't accurate. I should have several more wins that aren't listed. Hopefully Kestas will fix this.
yebellz (729 D(G))

Well, forcing yourself into CD doesn't make you any less reliable.

I have taken over 12 CD games. Won some of those too... Who took over more than 12?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
18 Apr 14 UTC
I have taken over 74 and apparently CD'd in 14, though I've only resigned in a couple. I don't know how that works out, but whatever.
I approve.

I would have assumed the difference between "CD" and "Resigned" is that if you go into CD but then recover the position yourself, that doesn't end up recorded as "Resigned" but you did still go into CD. No?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
18 Apr 14 UTC
Maybe. Seems plausible.

Do those take into account positions taken over now?

"I would have assumed the difference between "CD" and "Resigned" is that if you go into CD but then recover the position yourself, that doesn't end up recorded as "Resigned" but you did still go into CD. No? "

This is correct, but also if you CD and your country is defeated before the game ends (regardless of whether you come back) it does not count it as a resign but it does count as a CD.

Will the mods be able to forcibly alter your reliability rating downwards if you are sanctioned for cheating?

Resigned: 21 ( 2% )
Civil disorder: 116 - I have 21 resigns but 116 CDs - are you sure ?????
Civil disorders taken over: 34
No moves received / received: 0/0 - 116 CDs but not one single NMR ????
Reliability rating: 88%
Total (finished): 909

With these figures I certainly won't be able to get another 900 games on this site :-)

Web based diplomacy or face to face???
I got to play f2f for the first time in 25+ years. It was quite enjoyable to have open banter with other players and fully articulate what your thoughts are, but after returning to the game so many years later and now playing on the web, with drop down menus and computer making the moves for you. I think I like the web better. I would however like to play f2f every once in awhile.

What's the community's thought?

Guys, there's too many serious threads here. We need some fun. Let's write a story.
OK, here are the rules.

One by one, we each add on to the story. You can only add one sentence at a time, and each post must be separated by at least one other post. Your sentence must be grammatically correct and within the realm of possibility. If we do well with this one, we might move on to something more outlandish. I'll post a final edit of each paragraph, time permitting, when we get enough. Have fun with it!

Just get the hell out, guys...the hell with Russia or Ukraine's "ethnic Russians," the Jews don't have to put up with this AGAIN--not with America and Israel. Come here or go there, we don't have to get singled out for persecution AGAIN. (And how do you justify all this, Putin33? Hm?)

Why F Mur?
Sorry if this question has been answered, I couldn't find it anywhere. In the Modern Diplomacy II variant, we have a fleet in Murmansk. But in the variant rules (that we link to!!!) there's supposed to be an army in Murmansk.

Why the change? It seems to me that it just gives Russia less options when Russia is already under a lot of pressure in the first year.
