Country selection by player

In tournament style games I've read about you pick your country before the game starts based on a selection order. It would be nice to implement the feature on here for locked games.

How do you "leave" a game?

I've seen different games where it says "Left" on the player's line. I don't see where you can click that - there's a Pause / Cancel / Draw option, but no "Leave the game" option.

Can anyone tell me how this works?

Unpausing Games

Sorry, for the question (I'm new here), but how do you unpause games? We've all voted to pause, but when we try to vote to unpause it doesn't appear to register anyone's vote. Thanks for your help!

Games where people have left

I think it would be a good idea for the password to be removed for when someone has left a game and will make it easier for someone to take over a game. Additionally since the new person is at a disadvantage not knowing the situation they take over a reduced fee for entry. It is very frustrating when people leave a game or NMR so making it more viable for players to take over will keep games going rather than the players next to that country taking advantage like vultures which ruins the game.

Official Game Parameters: 5

WTA, Gunboat, 5min/phase

Variant Rules:

Move Phases will be 2 weeks long. Builds/Retreats will be 24 hours long. I will Pause and Unpause the game accordingly.

All communication must be done via postcard or letter sent through the USPS to the addresses posted by players.

If you need a pause, you must email the mods *stating exactly how long the pause will last*. The mods will notify the other players and players will respond with a Yea or Nay on the Pause. Refusing to respond in a timely fashion will result in the mods counting your vote as a Yea.

jmo1121109 (3812 )
01 Mar 13 UTC

Will the pause voting be majority decision or is a unanimous vote required to pause, and what is a timely fashion? Just asking as an observer.

abgemacht (1076 )
01 Mar 13 UTC

Unanimous. I'll leave that to the mod's discretion. It shouldn't take long for someone to respond to such a request.

I'm doing it this way rather than using the buttons, as I will be force unpausing/pausing a lot, so I don't want things to get confusing.

Draugnar (0 )
01 Mar 13 UTC

Why 5 minute turns? If retreats and builds are 1 day phases, then just make it one.day phase so you only need pause on the movements.

abgemacht (1076 )
01 Mar 13 UTC

@Draug

Because, with 24 hour turns, I would either need to unpause a day early and then make sure I pause as soon as the phase changes, which is very confusing, or I would need to unpause and then force the adjudicator to process, which I don't want to do.

This way, I unpause the game, sit there for 5 min and pause the game.

god, I don't think I could handle it. I click refresh over and over to see if I get a response, imagine me going to the mailbox that often to see if the mail came yet that day - maybe the mailman will come twice today, better go check ... that would be too much for my fragile mental state. I don't know how the old-timers did it. But I think it's a great idea for you history buffs. I look forward to the feedback ...

Catch me up on current details of process. I'd be interested in a play by mail. Like, *real* play by mail, right, now "scan and send"...?

philcore (317 )
08 Mar 13 UTC

I only know what I see. And the last post there was only three (no, I'm not resurrecting the Dr Suess thread, that was an accident)

I don't know what break you are referring to, judging by you recent posts, it could be the winter break at the local high school.

@krellin

The details are all in the first post.

2 week phases, send letters via USPS, no other means of communicating.

I would love to do this as I have had some issues lately with the fact that I hate going to my mailbox (I live in a community that has centralized mailboxes in the least convenient place possible to me). If I was going to get Diplomacy messages, I would go to it more often.

However, I will be out of town from March 30-April 7. Taking the kids to Disney World.

I'm sure we can arrange for a pause, if you're willing to play.

Dragon's Dogma & Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch PS3 Games

If you are RPG gamers, you need to get these two games. If you need some games to play, you need to get these two games. They are excellent games. My Dragon's Dogma's pawn is Katarina (sorcerer). It would be awesome if there are people from webdip who can use her and upgrade her equipment. If you have an awesome pawn, post your name/id here and I will look into it.
