Nominations for The Greatest Musician/Musical Act of All-Time
To get away for awhile from fights over foreign fights and people being X'd out here (please don't smite me, Maniac!) we begin the follow-up to our Greatest Author of All-Time Tournament with the search for the Greatest Musician/Musical Act of All-Time! Regional groups this time, US/UK/Europe/World (unless someone has a better grouping plan.) Either way, once again, everyone gets 4 noms, and we'll start when we fill out our Bracket of 64, 16 per group. Go! :)

How do YOU like to juggernaut?
The juggernaut is probably the most famous alliance - but how do YOU like to run it? As Russia? As Turkey? What are the key centres and moments in the construction of the alliance?

When you're heading for a solo
After *that* move where you get 2/3 centres and suddenly look like you're set for a solo: how do you convince the other players not to turn on you yet?

Gaining a supply center
I'm confused, on this site, there's spring and autumn. What happened to Winter?
When is the supply center gained?
Also, do I need a unit to phisycally exist in the supply center's country during the gain phase? Or perhaps it's enough that the unit passed there before?

New Proposed Feature
I was wondering if any of you coders out there can code a new feature that allows a player to repeat the previous phase's moves. This would be really useful when playing stalemate games that are drawn out by one player attempting to break through, hoping for an NMR or waiting for others to be taken out of the draw. It gets very boring sometimes to enter the same moves repeatedly and helps to avoid careless mistakes.

"Apparently SYnapse has set up a forum for people who want to be allowed to mock the dead, threaten each other, post hate speech, and other fun stuff like that in between discussing the Key Lepanto."

Shhh...the Key Lepanto is an actual Diplomacy opening...

You don't talk about Diplomacy on the WebDiplomacy forum...you're supposed to start "Last Person to Post Wins!" and "This Time on Obi Ranting About Shit" threads instead. :p

@trip

A little bit, yes. For me the primary purpose of this forum is to provide entertainment whilst waiting for a new phase or new game. I didn't see any credible threats, nor was the dead of the forum or anyone known to forum ever mocked. I enjoyed the feuds and the faux outrage. I enjoyed the cat and mouse between the mods and the trouble makers. I will indeed miss it.

Minus the cat and mouse part, I enjoyed it too. We'll never have an EoG like the one with, if I remember correctly, MM, Babak and Dunecat again. That was a gift that kept on giving.

That's the purpose of the forum?? I assumed it was to publicize games and tournaments, discuss game talk, and sure .. converse with the community. Didn't realize it was to see who can rattle the cage the most. I don't know if these last few days were an indication as to these vacated members standard behavior but if so I'd suspect they probably caused more then enough newcomers to turn around and leave. I'm an extremely thick skinned guy so it's not the offensiveness, it's just an overall hostile and annoying environment. Giving in to a boycott would only add fuel to the current mob mentality.

We should be happy to be rid of anybody who doesn't want to be here just because they resent being told to follow what seems like pretty basic and reasonable standards of behaviour within the community. Fuck em. It's an awesome site, it's not going to suffer too much because of a dozen bitter players taking a walk.

Nah, Nigs, what happens when you're banned is you relocate to vdip where you chill and chat with your fellow banned webdipers, those who left webdip in a dramatic exit, and most of the webdip mods. To a simple chap like me it all seems a bit farcical and more than a tad depressing.

SD, while the idea is appreciated, keep in mind that only 2/6 players you mentioned are actually banned. krellin is only silenced and the other half have just left. I'm not sure what kind of "amnesty" you are considering.

On the other hand, we've had 18 people join today. With a few prominent voices gone from the forum, its a great opportunity for new voices to step up and contribute new and different opinions about how the mod team sucks.

"its a great opportunity for new voices to step up and contribute new and different opinions about how the mod team sucks."

I know what you are saying 2WL but I think there is genuine fear out there, people are scared to say things. I wanted yo say what a fabulous job the Mods were doing but I was worried it would be twisted and disfigured into a hideous ball of ridicule and rancour and resentment and other words beginning with 'r', that can't be a good thing.

Josunice tournament
I was wondering what are the current standings with the couple of games that recently finished... I was dead last before the solo, so I want to know if there is still hope of at least second place now that I have bounced back. I think josemurcs was winning by a lot, but with the latest results maybe he is no longer leading so easily?
