Zero centers, but you get part of the draw??
In game ID=66470, Austria and Turkey agreed to defeat France and split a two-way WTA draw. Well , we took over France and pressed "draw". POOF, game over, but FRANCE gets 1/3 of the draw.

Huh? How can you get part of the draw with zero centers????

New game: WTA - 50 points - classical - full press - anonymous
Hey everyone,
So I opened a new game and named it after a diplomat who -at an intellectual level- appeals to me (not passing any judgments on the man's politics, it's his way of arriving at a conclusion that I like)

Public School's monopoly hurts American
The monopoly that public schools have on secondary education is one of the major problems that is doing damage to American society today. Public schools not exist for teachers and administrators instead of for students.

Conspiracy theory.
Well, im paranoid, and im wondering what we do if the mods are multi accounting. And we all know they have multiple accounts to aid in spying, investigating, and all the other mod business that is in the grey area. We cant report it to the mods, but we can find out those accounts and not let them use them for such. And im just talking hypothetical here, not making any real accusations (for those of you fond of clue, im not to the point of making an accusation yet) ;)

First, any action a mod account takes is recorded and the other mods see it. Each mod account is separate so they don't have multiple accounts for their mod work and research. Each uses their own account to the best of my knowledge and to use the mod priviledges like looking at who the players are in an anon game will be recorded and seen by Kestas and the other mods. So there are measures in place to prevent an abuse of power. Only Kestas coudl really abuse the power and, seeing as it's his site, he has every right to do just about anything he wants. Be thankful he's a cool and upstanding dude.

There is only one account that doesn't belong to any one player and that is the user Moderator. I needed to create him when I joined a game to try and recreate a reported bug and then got trapped in the game. Long story and very frustrating.

Of course, if you believe there is some vast mod conspiracy, I'm sure you won't believe anything a mod says; however, for what it's worth, I can assure you that none of the mods have more than 1 account and we do not use fake accounts to "spy" on other players.

Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
06 Oct 11 UTC
yes, and they use the accounts to help find out cheaters. They use the accounts to befriend the cheaters and trick them into confessing. Mods = CIA of webdip! :)

Sargmacher (0 DX)
06 Oct 11 UTC
Anything the mods say to deny these accusations simply proves that they are trying to cover up the truth. Moreover, the inability of the other mods to face up these accusations in this thread damns them further. All they can do now is admit their corruption.

I'm finding this thread very amusing. The reality is that our current methods are much more efficient than what diplomat is suggesting.

06 Oct 11 UTC
As for Diplomat33's whistleblowing on the mod's use of "multiple accounts to aid in spying, investigating, and all the other mod business that is in the grey area" - this is what I suspected for a long time was the purpose of the account set up in the name of 'Thucydides'. A blatant multiple account 'moderator' designed purely to depth charge the forums, spew out moderator-controlled propaganda and spurious trolling that keeps the majority of the WebDip population entertained, occupied, and beguiled.

thanks for your support. And i like the verbal slip by abg, telling us they have better methods. just like the government. they probably have this site infected with viruses that stalk out account movements and stuff, and even our ip addresses to do their less noble jobs.

i'd just like to repeat and re-iterate what any of the others mods have said.

it's kinda the opposite of what this conspiracy seems to be about...

Game Link: gameID=68341
Hey guys, thought I'd create a thread for anyone to offer their thoughts.
For my part, I think my play as France highlights the importance of sticking with a game even if things look really tough - I was fighting off 3 countries for the first half of the game but still came out on top. To get such a stiff competition situation was great fun! Thanks for the interesting game all and I look forward to no. 13.
