take over a country in civil disorder in a game in which one has already been defeated as a different country? If so, how do you take over civil dis countries in private games?

Now that it seems the bigger bugs are over has anyone noticed any wee small ones. here is a few non essential bugs.

1.when only 5 players join a game the system default "CD Germany" player is actually green and represents Italy while "CD Italy " is brown and if you click it you would end up playing Germany.
2. on the sign on page permanently is spelled permeanently.
3. when you convoy an army the sentence reads
The army at "X" move to "Y: via convoy via convoy.

All of the round 2 games have completed and the tournament points calculated. The results are here!

(In first reply to reduce forum clutter.)

I think that the payment to take over a CD should equal the payout if the game ended immediately.

Currently, this is not true. Not sure what the current logic is. There is a 10 SC country in CD, where the pot is 1015. The payment is 441. But (1015+441) * 10/34 = 428.24

I believe the calculation should be:

Payment = (SCs * pot) / (34 - SCs)

So that the payment is 423.

3 countries are all one player and have not moved, and since they have been busted, they wont enter orders, making it hard for myself as turkey to get anywhere. The nations concerned are England, France and Italy. Kestas pl put them into cd??

Just created a game named Oblique Flying Wing - 1.
Pot: 16
Style: winner takes all

Dear All,

This is the real Wombat here. I realise that there has been a lot of discussion regarding the game Ng Wang Ho, which people have aparently been accusing of multi accounting or meta gaming etc.

Allow me to explain the situation. When the game started, Russia was quickly eliminated. Italy soon followed and then two main camps formed:
France and England; Turkey, Austria and Germany.

The moves throughout the game were admittedly very suspicious, with Turkey moving to Finland just to support Germnay, etc, but I suppose the strategy was based on a potential WW1 team strategy and also something with which to help thwart Salmaneser as France, who was then at 9 units and about to break through...

What happened next is that I had to go away for 'World individuals 2008, Germany' which is an international competition, and I could not afford to move during the duration of the competition. Knowing this is advance, I asked 3 of my friends to help me check my account occasionally to ensure that I did not miss turns or go CD, which is unfair to the other players of the game.

I chose multiple people to make sure that if one or two of them were busy, someone would aqlways be able to make my moves.

Unfortunately, although thingws have gone basically smoothly in other games, 'NG WANG HO' has a conflict of interest between Germany and Turkey, who both had acess to my account as a result of the above.

What then followed I had no control over, but I would like to apologise for the mess and the suspicion that has arisen over the game, and I would request Kestas if possible to simply redistribute the points out in to all the original players, and if not to simply draw it.

To avoid this kind of confusion again, I will not play in any games with my friends, except in private games.

Thank you and my apologies again.

Wombat [the real one]

Turkey moved their units to exactly the right spots for Russia to gain as many SC's as possible. Something doesn't add up. When I was eliminated, Russia and Turkey each had 17 SC's, then, for some reason, Turkey allowed Russia to gain more SC's in this Points Per Supply Center game. Just wondering what others think about this.

There was a lot of downtime today; Dreamhost moved one of their clusters and lots of their main servers to a new datacenter, and a router problem went with it, causing ~10 hours of downtime. But games were still processing, because the servers were only inaccessible from the outside, and phpDip runs the process scripts by itself. This means games may have processed before people had a chance to post orders

So this leaves me with 2 choices;
- back up to 7 hours ago (from the time of this post). This will probably mean most games won't have been processed, but people may have a chance to see the results of orders that were entered, and change their orders accordingly
- Carry on; this would be better if there weren't many people who couldn't make orders, as it would result in the fewest problems with people seeing orders etc

Sorry about this, on Dreamhost's behalf, they have been making a lot of mistakes recently but they are the most stable hosting I can afford. In a future update I'll add a feature that'll allow the game processing script to recognize when the server has been down, and stop processing games

Austria of course is a multiplayer suiciding Austria to give the game to turkey.

is stuck in autumn retreat phase, though its already done, and it shows i have to enter orders by the red x but when i go into it. Says no orders this phase. Kestas please take look at it- thank you

In the game "le mer de vaches sort merde de vaches" (the only one I'm in) France is accusing me of not supporting his move to Belgium with my fleet in the North Sea for several turns in a row. The problem is that my order does not display on the small map (because it wasn't successful?) It does, however, display on the large map.

I'm posting here because I'd like to get some impartial parties to confirm what I'm saying.

draw between me and Italy.

I've got the time (finally) so here's my invite.
I want to set up a game where all chat goes through the 'all players' box.
Interested?

I, playing as A-H, got the automated "build an army at Bud" message, but got it 2 times. Just to make sure things don't screw up, i un-finalized it and finalized. There we're still 2 identical messages.

Now I don't really care about that, but I have a problem with no army being built. Would the admins kindly fix this?

The price is only 10

please make a new 100+ WTA game

ASIA WINS!
Austria and Germany declare victory in the team game triangle against TEAM USA (russia,england, italy ) and TEAM EURO (france , turkey).
but as team games are purely honour bound and not a part of phpdiplomacy (yet!) we will have to call it a draw.

germany agrees.
