Hi all, Does anybody here know about DipTool and if so, is there any way to connect it to a game running here on php? Thanks.

You've got to be kiding me...

Gentlemen, we have a limited number of threads visible on this forum. Clearly a chess-game should not qualify as a valid reasons to keep anything else Diplomacy-related off the board. Even religious discussions are more reasonable (cannot believe I'm saying this) as they include much more people :)

Maybe we can simply let this drop off the bottom?
DipperDon (6457 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Maybe. I thought that if a bunch of others offered suggestions and contributed commentary, then it wouldn't be any more inappropriate than the following threads.

"It's all greek to me"
"This is inexplicable"
"Any fantasy baseball players out there?"

And dozens of other threads I've seen the last couple months, some of which went on and on.
DipperDon (6457 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
But I'll agree to let it die if no one is interested.
Katsarephat (100 D)

I think if everyone can play communally it should be okay.

That said, I'd contribute but I don't know my Sicilian lines as well as I should...
ioan (356 D)

Shame, I was interested to see how this played out.
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
You have a point about the other threads. Though the first two exaples have mutated so much :)

As for the fantasy baseball one ... I'm moving there now to piss them off and talk about cricket or soccer :)

I think that as long as people are interested in a thread it has a right to be there... don't you think?
DipperDon (6457 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Threads don't have rights. The issue is, I think, identifying a minimum level of participation necessary to justify a non-dip thread. I agree that two people playing one game of chess is not by itself enough to justify taking up space. But a communal thread with many games, or a game with lots of kibitzing and commentary could be acceptable.
maintgallant (100 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Okay, a communal game then... Please feel free to offer communtary and suggestions. I think this can be fun (and common, how many of the posts are just sitting there - diplomacy awesome-off, etc). Please mail suggestions, etc. All commentary is welcome and encouraged. This is a community game.

What if we had a vote-board, and the move with the highest vote got played? Is there a way to separate into two teams for those who want to be involved? That could be a lot of fun.
DipperDon (6457 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
c3 Siclian is exactly what I normally play...as white. But I sure don't like playing against it.
Katsarephat (100 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
When I said a communal game, I meant anyone could jump in and make the next move. You ever try that form of chess? =D
maintgallant (100 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
I like the c3 Sicilian as it keeps the game under control and positional - minimizing the "Hero Factor." Yeah... I'm afraid of it.

We could try communal chess. I'd be up for it.
maintgallant (100 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Maybe we should make a new forum for that though, so everyone knows what's going on BEFORE openning the thread.

Chrispminis (916 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Yeah. I was thinking this would work out as a communal chess game.
DipperDon (6457 D)
12 Feb 09 UTC
Communal how? We could start over or start a new thread. What's a good way to do it?
Lord Alex (169 D)
13 Feb 09 UTC
What do the numbers and letters mean?
Is it the square numbers?
DipperDon (6457 D)
13 Feb 09 UTC
Yes, by rank and file. White starts on ranks 1 & 2. Black on 8 & 7. Files from white's perspective are left to right, A to H.
maintgallant (100 D)
13 Feb 09 UTC
ICC (International Chess Club) and chessgames.com can be viewed for rules and set-up, etc. If we're going to do communal, we should either agree that noone looks up any variations, or that any outside resource is valid, which is probably the better way.

Until then...

Convoy Rules
If a fleet is convoying an army and is attacked, does the convoy fail? Assume that the attack is by only one naval unit, so it does not win the territory.

Question
Is there any way to resign a game? I joined a game not knowing it would be played under rules I wasn't familiar with. The first set of moves is not yet due, if that makes any difference. The game in question is: http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=8823

A couple of noob questions
Is there any sort of move simulator so I can see how various orders would resolve?

For the specific instance I'm thinking of, if there are fleets in Denmark and Kiel, which (if either) are considered adjacent to Berlin? I think Kiel is but Denmark isn't, but I'm not sure.
