Where the free market FAILED
sorta a late response to a lot of TCs advocating free market captialism. This is an article and talk about an industry that because of how free the market was, the market failed.

question of skill
if there is a game where the only two countries to cd are england and italy, and the game eventually leads to a four way draw, where france is just about to be eliminated at the end. does that indicate gross incompetence on france's part? this question is of vital importance to my self worth.

High Stakes Gunboat
Hey everyone, I want to start a high point WTA anon gunboat. I am thinking at least a few hundred points. Would anyone be interested? If so shoot me a PM and we can discuss points, time per phase, and the password.
I am just sick of PPSC games and constant CD's.
Also it'd be best to not post in this thread and just PM me to keep up the anonymity

Hey folks -

I'm a bit new to Dip, and I couldn't find anything in the rules or the DATC tests to help me figure out why the outcome of the move I just saw resulted the way it did.

There wasn't a WTA subscore option.
largeham (149 D)
17 Feb 12 UTC
Did it. I think the PPSC option meant to separate WTA and PPSC.

Is it possible to have an option where people can choose whether to have their GR shown on their profile or not?
Geofram (130 D(B))
17 Feb 12 UTC
@largeham. I struggled with this option. Since GR will always be public, I'm not sure letting people hide it makes sense.
Did it. Separate rating for PPSC, variant weight stays the same, and display my rank for all haters to see.
For serious, I'd rather see GR displayed than points. GR = prestige and social standing, points = bank account.
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 Feb 12 UTC
GR won't replace points, but I do think we could better institute it within these walls. More people should submit their opinions so we can find out the best course of action.

ALSO, the last question serves as a sign-up for "I might want to get involved in making this happen," so fellow programmers definitely need to click the link.
Oh no, I say leave the points system in place. It's just that when I'm sizing up an opponent, I'd rather be looking at their GR than their banked points.
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 Feb 12 UTC
You know you can do this now right? Almost effortlessly.
Yes, I do. But then I've gotta go ALLLLLLL the way over to a different website, and do the Ctrl+F thing... and then I've gotta look it up again later if I forget...
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
18 Feb 12 UTC
Yeah, I don't think it matters much to size up an opponent when you are in the 700s. :P
And if you are making in game decisions based on GR and not press, then you aren't likely to improve your game.

Checking the current GR list is about as inconvenient as having to pull the lever on your bath to turn it into a shower.
Draugnar (0 DX)
18 Feb 12 UTC
I disagree, Geo. The current list doesn't load well into a phone and it takes a while to load and search for a player on it if you are researching your opponents. If incorporated into the profile, then you click on a name and there it is!
OMG, my bath works as a shower? I thought that thing sticking out of the wall was just for drying clothes.

great survey
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 Feb 12 UTC
@Draugnar, except so far the consensus is for OPTIONAL display of GR on the profile. So for many, you'll still have to check the lists. (Also, keep it on a local file, loads so much better regardless of device.)
Draugnar (0 DX)
18 Feb 12 UTC
Yeah, the optional provides more of a challenge. But not many cell phones can hold that whole table and the download once a month is a killer for a cell phone.
Draugnar (0 DX)
18 Feb 12 UTC
Oh, and how could *I* know what the consensus so far was without you telling me now. I'm not a mod and the survey results are for mods eyes, right?

Isn't "peak" the same as "all-time", or are you going to differentiate between rating and ranking for both current and all-time, thus having four numbers?

What is this "West" Med variant you speak of? ;-)
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
18 Feb 12 UTC
I think it's kinda neat that we started out just talking about a simple automatic integration of GR into the site and it has evolved into discussion of a system that is much more informative and response than the current monthly GR.
It's a good thing we don't have politicians running the site. :P
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 Feb 12 UTC
Peak - Highest Ever.
All Time- From the age of dinosaurs and beyond.
Current - Just the newest month.

Is it not called West Med?

@Draugnar. Wifi!
zultar: TC was advocating we let the gubmint run webdip, idkkkk
Alderian (2425 D(S))
18 Feb 12 UTC
It is called Ancient Med. I'm still not sure what the difference is between Peak and All Time. Unless you mean Current Rating, Peak Rating, Current Ranking, All-Time Ranking where your Current Ranking is based on everyone's Current Rating and your All-Time Ranking is based on everyone's Peak Rating.
Peak and all-time are the same; they're your highest rating ever, and the list is a compilation of everyone's highest ratings ever. Current is your current rating.

Done, and done.
I don't feel strongly about some of the questions, but I like the conversation. Also, I volunteered to help with the programming. php isn't my strong suit, but I'd love to use this to get more familiar with the codebase, since I've wanted to create a variant for some time now.

country assignment
is there a formula, or is it random? I'm in 7 ongoing games currently, assigned Austria in 3 of them and Germany 2. Just seems a little overstacked. Granted, I've also had periods wherein I was Russia in 3/4 games at one point. Not griping, just curious to know how it works.

Does this speech make you puke?
As my time here is winding down I've been posting less and have had a no thread posting policy. Unfortunately a news item that kicked me in the balls has popped up and I wanted to see if anyone can support the statements of one-half of the Republicans dynamic duo.

The question, like Mr. Santorum does this speech make you puke, and if so which part?

forum bug?
each page in a thread displays 30 comments, right? but i think if there are 31 comments in a thread, i'm only getting one page showing up, and that last comment is, i guess, on a second page that i can't get to. it's only once there get to be 32 comments that i'm allowed to see page 2 where the 31'st comment was.

is this a known issue? have other people experienced this?
