Are there any other thespians on the site? Lovers of the stage, or perhaps actors or actresses? Directors, choreographers, stage crew, or technical crew?

to admin: orders glitch
Hello, in 'This is why I have no money' -- I (Turkey) ordered 2 retreats; RUM to Bulgaria; BUD to Serbia, and the orders received were both to SERBIA, so both units were disbanded. Is this just something I have to deal with or is there any rectification?

New person question
How do I get the orders option to show up on a turn. Game says its in the retreat phase but I can't put orders in and the deadline keeps getting closer. Already missed 1 turn because of this.

Western Triangle vs Eastern Square?
Lets talk about Strategy...

I'm mostly going to reject the notion of two separate areas of conflict, and instead focus on four overlapping areas.

Great map joke
I'm currently playing on the "Fall of the American Empire" map for the first time, and I love that the Bermuda Triangle is shaped like a triangle. It's also fun that so many of the US states retain their actual shapes. Well done, Mous and Jensen.

"Save" means "confirm orders", "Ready" is equal to "finalize orders, process phase as soon as possible". You never have to click "ready".

By the way, I noticed there are no "extend" or "concede" options like we have at vdip.

"Concede" ?!?
Octavious (2701 D)
07 Apr 15 UTC
(+1)
Concede is an old 15th century word derived from the French "conceder". I'm not entirely sure as to the meaning, but my dictionary links it to the word "yield", so I can only assume it has something to do with the harvesting of crops.
Octavious (2701 D)
07 Apr 15 UTC
(+3)
Yes, that makes sense. It can be used in the phrase "I conceded defeat" which must mean "I have harvested many defeats". That sounds exactly like the sort of thing a self respecting diplomacy player might say.
VillageIdiot (7813 D)
07 Apr 15 UTC
Ok yeah that makes sense now. So then what does the concede button do, fire off the confetti canon to celebrate my accomplishments?
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

I thought the term "concede" came from the Greek word 'konsedā' meaning "I suck at this game. Where are my crayons?"
VillageIdiot (7813 D)

So is vDip like a remedial site? Or it's for children only maybe? Don't quite get it.

Wasn't this tournament just a knockoff of our cross-site game currently going on anyways? Kinda seems like we've already leap-frogged into the finals while everybody else is still tying thier shoes up.

How far apart are the concede and extend buttons?
VillageIdiot (7813 D)
07 Apr 15 UTC

I assume each time you click extend they get a little further apart, no?
Octavious (2701 D)
07 Apr 15 UTC
I heard they trialled the extend feature in the 2012 world cup final, with interesting results.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

I'm pretty sure you have to take a pill to extend

I always thought that was *duck* tape. Maybe I should be the village idiot. I'm retired, but obviously have too much time on my hands.

I must say I'm enjoying my first game. Do I still get to play in the second if I've already been eliminated in the first? I figure two weeks is more than enough time for that. It seems like everyone else is bringing their A-game. I thought this was just a friendly constest.
Yes the first two games are part of the "First" or "Qualifying" round. If you do get eliminated just look at it as an early sign that you need to try for a solo in the second game and have nothing to lose if you fall short.
zaneparks (102 D(B))
09 Apr 15 UTC
And if I'm clever enough to turn things around and solo in the 1st game and then solo in the 2nd, can't we just crown me the tournament winner and all go home content that PlayDip has shown its superiority without further humiliating anyone.

I'll admit vdip is superior in many ways, but there are a lot fewer people ad a lot fewer games.

So. I have competed in several tournaments over the last few weeks, including League, 10-man and 5-man tournaments. Why aren't all tournament games automatically set to prevent NMRs and allowing swap outs so that the strategic balance is not upset?

Have you ever hear russian metal groups? For example, "Aria" (russ. "Ария"), "Epidemy" (russ. "Эпидемия"), "Black Obelisk" (russ. "Чёрный Обелиск"). If you have, what do you think about them? Has Russia presentable metal or no?
