What webDiplomacy really needs...

I very much miss multilateral negotiations here. Next to global broadcasts and bilateral correspondence, there ought to be the option to adress several (but not all) players at once. It's a very basic and very necessary feature that all Diplomacy judges have. webDiplomacy really needs to up its game on that one.

2010 Player of the Year

As some of you recall, I released a series of stats last year, as an unofficial player of the year award, using the data I get for Ghost-Rating.

Here is the 2010 version. (If someone formats it with links by each player's name I would be really grateful)

peterwiggin (15158 )

Just curious, but how did you determine player of the year and WTA player of the year? Everything else has a clear stat . . .
Ebay destroyed me in our game the most impressive way possible: by getting others to do it for him. Then he stabbed them and won.

Thats BS, the only reason that silverwolf wins is he cheats

Hasn't VanHaylen been banned?

Anyway, congrats to everyone.

I presume that before posting this Ghost checked all the players involved, but I could be wrong.

Mostly i'm curious as to who the third person in that category would be

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

Nope, I didn't check, because I'm silly. Obviously I will revise if we find that people have been banned...

figlesquidge (2131 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

Hmm, and whoever (think it was me) banned him didn't leave a reason for us to track. I'll try and track down who came next!

@peterwiggin - Just curious, but how did you determine player of the year and WTA player of the year? Everything else has a clear stat . . .

I would love to know the rational as well. My vote would go to BigZombieDude (50% win) or Davebishop (93 % win/draw)

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

It was by running a Ghost-Rating system starting this year.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

>You are posting too frequently, please slow down.

Ivo_ivanov (7545 )

I agree that silverwolf is a cheat - have reported him a numer of times only to hear that "there's not enough evidence".

Figle, no need to also tell me to shut up... I won't :)

Ivo_ivanov (7545 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

Congrats to everyone else. Ghost, great job to keep thus up, as usual!

"If you have any evidence for this I'm more than happy to look into it - email us at [email protected]

Both me and Bjmacson reported him in one of our games. Is that enough or should we also email you?

Fasces349 (0 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

@Ivo_ivanov: I am glad there is others, me, Bjmacson and damian are working on getting him banned, me if we all email the mods enough. They will cave.

Lando Calrissian (100 )

@figle he was a multi. these two at least:

Ivo and Fasces I have a bunch of evidence, would you prefer I send it to you or should I just send it into the mods?

Fasces349 (0 )

"me if we all email the mods enough. They will cave."
That me is actually a maybe. Typo

Fasces349 (0 )

Both.

Fasces349 (0 )

send it to both. The more people demanding action,. the more likely we will succeed.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

"Both me and Bjmacson reported him in one of our games. Is that enough or should we also email you?"

You should always email, the reporting system (which should be switched off- I thought it was?) is really rudimentary and not used.

I've just checked the multi-checker for Silver Wolf:

"This account has no links with other accounts"

peterwiggin (15158 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

You have a multi-checker? Fancy. I would ask how it works, but I know you aren't allowed to say.
The basis for Player of the Year is very elegant.

Fasces349 (0 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

Damn, had I known that, we wouldn't have been slaughtered by that fucking cheat.

From now on I will email.

Fasces349 (0 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

but that is a little bullshit. Why have a report system if it isn't used?

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
01 Jan 11 UTC

The site is still being developed, and is open source. The hope is that someone (maybe kestas, maybe someone else), will add to it and improve it.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

Highest Live Game Win/Draw Percentage (Min 10 games): peterwiggin (93%)

Wow, good fun to be found at the top of the WTA list!

I am more amazed that only 4 WTA solos were enough to top the list??
I have 15 total WTA wins, starting to play in 2009 on this site. Suppose I won a lost in -09 :)

Anyhow, again just want to say that Kestas is supplying a super site , and a wonderful tool for online Dip.

Looking forward to stabbing you soon :)

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Picard And Sisko Argue Ethics--Ends vs. Means!

We started to have a debate about this in the last topical post, so I thought I'd give it the full attention it deserves, since it IS one of greatest dilemmas in all of ethical thought and conduct. And, luckily enough we have two GREAT advocates for the opposing positions: Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Benjamin Sisko! ;) So, as a fun end of the year discussion, if ends DO justify the means, to what extent, and if they DON'T...then what IS justifiable?
