Featured game?
What is a featured game? One of the games I am playing got a star next to it, and it says that is is a featured game, with one of the highest stakes. Is this something automatic?

Go for the win or draw with good players
In the eyes of a high point player, is it better to try to go for the win or take a three-way draw (in world map). What is more "respected"? What creates more "trust" for future games? (I know its a form of meta-gaming, but I think that for long-playing players-it appears important). Thanks for your opinions.

DCL EOGs
Since the official topic is probably going to get flooded with these soon, it made sense to follow another user's suggestion and make a separate topic. I'm working on the others now, but here's mine for Game 1 first.

Retreating in an endgame situation
I just finished an anonymous gunboat game and I do not believe that any of the dislodged units in the last season were permitted to retreat. Surely under certain circumstances that retreat could be the difference between a solo and a draw, no? Does webDip process the win before or after autumn retreats, and/or does it have programming to know whether the retreat can affect the outcome of the game?

The Wonderful 100: History's Greatest Persons
There are so many people on this site with so many interests, and so many important people throughout history at that, I thought it might be interesting to see who and what we value throughout mankind. "Great" can be any combination of importance, influence, and personal feeling for the person, can even be "evil" people--everyone nominates 5, when we reach 100 or so, we'll vote and see...WHO are Wonderful 100, the Greatest Figures in Human History (and who'll be"#1!") ;)

@hellalt and FML: Hammurabi's code of laws are the oldest known codified laws. The dude basically invented writing down laws. That's pretty legit.

Hey!

What happened to all of Gauss' points!
Thucydides (864 D(B))
20 Oct 10 UTC
lol so yeah im responsible for the hammurabi points, but as pres eden said, he invented laws.

unless you're an anarchist... he's sort of... responsible for... like... civilization, in a way that many of these others aren't. and ive never been of the "would anyone else have done what he did" school because the point is he DID do what he did. and what he did was huge, so it deserves credit.

i should mention though that his status is in dispute with some lesser law codes being out there but his has a high place in the minds of archaeologists etc.

with that in mind i award hammurabi three more points and move on to other concerns, namely, giving some of our poor 0-pointers some points.

also i miscounted, hammurabi only go two and SHOULD READ 29 NEXT POSTER PLEASE TAKE NOTE AND EDIT AS NECESSARY


also, in accordance with abge's gripe: genghis khan had points before, but now has none... seems to have lost them in translation. someone fix?

20 Oct 10 UTC
yes i think it is clear now that obi hates math... he also seems to have added some unwarranted points. shaka zulu and sitting bull (that i notice anyway) should only have 1 D apiece but were credited with an extra ten when obi moved the list around


what happened.. obi?

@Thucy:

No, everyone STARTS with ten, and so if they added one it'd go to eleven, if there is no number near their name that equates to ten.

Oh, I guess I messed up with Rousseau. That does explain the high number of 11s, 12, and 13s.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Here's what happened. Anyone with 10 next to their name really should have 20. *Someone* decided to start the points at a hidden 10, which quickly got lost in translation.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
21 Oct 10 UTC
yeah.... why the original ten?? its meaningless, especially if you cant minus vote..

perhaps we should restart the votes.

but anyway if they really all do have ten then hammurabi should actually have 39. And now I will give him another 9 for 48.

And one to Cortez.

@Darwyn:

Max +9 per person per day (so we have everyone voting for at least two folks per day, get a bit of a variety and distribution that way...)

So Tesla's "only" at 20 (still pretty high up on the list...

And hey--THE YANKEES LOST!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Second-best thing to my Mets winning the World Series (yeah, like THAT'S likely) is the YANKEES LOSING!

And BIG +100 to Josh Hamilton, their CF and now the ALCS MVP, not just for winning and being a great player, but by getting their by overcoming alcoholism and making the first thing he said a praise to all his teammates and saying they ALL deserve it...

CLASS ACT! WAY TO WIN IT, ON AND OFF THE FIELD!

Okay I fixed up that "they all start with 10 pts" problem, and added my own from yesterday and today, and abge's, and moved up all those people with 1 and 2 to 11 and 12 and put them in order accordingly... sheesh

Hammurabi 57 (+12 because someone missed my plus 2 earlier and because they all start with ten which hammurabi did not.) (+9 for my add up there that I didn't put on the list yet, and +9 again for my vote today)

Thanks, Thucy!

While he's certainly not the worst choice to be the leader right now, can some of his supporters explain to me why Hammurabi is so high in your eyes...I can see placing him on the list and even some votes, but why #1--just for Hammurabi's Law? After all, The Ten Commandments, The Romans' and Justinian's Code all had a huge impact as well, arguably larger in some places...

Dear WebDiplomats:

Win : Draw ratios
My position is that it is better to risk a place in a draw for a reasonable chance at a win.

So a better win:draw ratio is more important than a your (win+draw) : (survived+eliminated) ratio...

Map didn't update.
Don't know if this is a problem with anyone else, but I'm playing in gameID=39406, and the map didn't update with the results of the 1902 build phase. When I click on the icon to get the large map, I see the disbanded and newly built units. More concerning, though, is that I can't issue orders for my new unit...not only does the map not show it, the orders don't load for it either.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Retreating in an endgame situation
I just finished an anonymous gunboat game and I do not believe that any of the dislodged units in the last season were permitted to retreat. Surely under certain circumstances that retreat could be the difference between a solo and a draw, no? Does webDip process the win before or after autumn retreats, and/or does it have programming to know whether the retreat can affect the outcome of the game?

What happens if you order your troops to attack your own troop with strength enough that it would ordinarily be dislodged?
