Two People Using the Same Computer
I can't seem to find it... but my girlfriend has an account, and so do I... Will we get penalized for playing on the same computer? (she usually does her updates at work, but doesn't work 24 hours a day... odd huh?). Just wanted to make sure.

Oh, and if you are wondering, she usually stabs me in the back first.

Throwing game away Ivo_ivanov
Is this cheating? This is the game in which I refused to draw (turd nugget) and as people can see I've been pushing them back. Ivo_ivanov is specifically moving away to let germany win. In real game settings.... who would throw themselves away to let someone else win? wtf....

potential builds problem
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4375

I (France) have 8 units and 11 supply centers, but I am only offered 2 builds. Is this another bug? Or is it just a new feature that I am only offered 2 builds because one of my 3 centers is occupied?

Dealing with the MySQL 5.0.45 bug
The bug we dealt with a few days ago is causing problems for people who are stuck on 5.0.45 (Facebook Diplomacy), and we may be updating back to 5.0.45 ourselves in the future.

So I'm going to be adding some code which I hope will work around the bug, but there may be problems with it so let me know if you notice anything wrong. I've tested it at home on reprocessing many games and running the DATC tests and it seems to work, but there may be issues which weren't encountered.

I've taken a backup but the sooner I hear about any problems the better.

law student. i was, and continue to have thread through my core, a gamer. Early on it was video games, but as I went through high school and college it turned into board games. Diplomacy was one of my first board game purchases. It was the game i always held in highest regard and wanted to play, but never seemed to have enough people to play with. phpDiplomacy fixed that problem

Haha Pandora, if you didn't insist otherwise, I'd keep thinking it was a joke. =P

University student, at least I will be this fall. =D

I found the game through a grade 10 history class and had a lot of fun playing face to face. I was easily seduced by the concepts behind Diplomacy and yearning for more I turned to the internet and found this site when it was first learning to walk. I've been a proud member of phpDip ever since. I think only dangermouse (and Kestas) have been active longer.

Tucobenedicto, are you thinking of teaching high school or university? Very different jobs. I have to say, I love teaching uni, but the teaching is only about 40% of the job -- the rest of it being research and administration. Diplomacy is a nice distraction.

Anyone here from Northern Virginia by any chance?
Hmmm... It seems as if I may be the youngest player here. I will be a 9th grader this fall. My older brother introduced me to the site. He first played the game at school with some friends.

Convoying Question.
If I convoy an army from Wales -> Picardy. And I want to double support it, how do I do it? Do I do:

Fleet English Channel CONVOY from Wales to Picardy
Army Belgium SUPPORT MOVE Wales to Picardy
And ask a friend to do:
Army Burgundy SUPPORT MOVE Wales to Picardy

Or do I do:
Fleet English Channel CONVOY from Wales to Picardy
Army Belgium SUPPORT MOVE English Channel to Picardy
And ask a friend to do:
Army Burgundy SUPPORT MOVE English Channel to Picardy

This is assuming that the fleet at English Channel has no chance of being attacked by anythign.

A question of metagaming
A while back, a player offered me a deal that involved metagaming. I obviously did not accept the deal, and ignored the offer. However, I was thinking, would it be acceptable for me to tell the player that I accepted the deal, assuming that I didn't actually go through with it. Is it okay to tell someone you will metagame with them if you are lying? Tell me what you think.

The bug
Hi guys, clearly there's a major problem.

I've paused the gamemaster while I figure it out. It looks like all the problems being posted relate to the TerrStatus table not updating correctly, which affects builds, and orders which depend on the territory you occupied.

Sorry about this, but this may require moving the database back a few hours because this has messed up a lot of games.
