When the Games are turned back on... What then????
Will all of my games be due in the middle of the night or something? Will i go cd if i am not here when it happens? Will there be a (at least) 12 hour lull to give us time to get our orders in?
heufelhunden - Extremely unlikely DougOfDoom - haha, sorry - i was just lazy whilst typing that xcurly - I take it you were joking? If not, its been bumped it to help get the message across to those who don't normally look at the forum before they get confused by the fact a game has been stuck "due now" for hours.
is anyone else experiencing the odd phenomenon of having all of the other players in their games being shown as online? By this I mean having the dot net to their name in the message tabs.
@Dexter. Uhh no. Thats stupid. In the spirit of the game its always better if people make their moves then not make their moves. The only reason there was pressure to do the same thing with the rollback is because you could use information gained from the last moves to your advantage. As I didn't gain any special insight it makes no difference.
valios - that's because every member on the site who is in an active game is currently online, reading this thread everytime it bumps, to see if it's the post from Kestas saying that the problem resolved.
Yet another gratuitous bump. Kestas, if you end up reading this thread, don't lose your job to work on this. :-P Better to have a site admin who's busy most of the day than one who starves to death, eh? ;-)
Oh, I guess I should have thought of that possibility! The people in my game must really have nothing better going on. Im just going to assume this is a sitewide problem
Hi guys sorry about the delay, please just use this time to get some extra diplomacy in and I'll fix this bug this evening
Thanks for understanding, I want to get this bug fixed before processing any more games to stop games being corrupted while the problem is still limited to only a few games, the delay now will mean fewer delays later
A lot of games that resolved recently have had several bugs, such as retreats being asked for from regions that couldn't have had retreats forced, and every unit simultaneously vanishing.
All games are being held until these (and possibly other) issues can be resolved.
Does anyone know the nature of the bug? or what is affected by it. If Kestas had more help looking into this sort of thing (from those that know PHP and MySQL) we might be able to get the ball rolling quicker for this thing to start up again.
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7422 Daniel-san, being banned (yay!) has left a reasonable sized nation in this game, is anyone interested? We have the game on pause atm, that plus the downed GameMaster means you should have some time to communicate before the next turn starts.

"Looks like there are a lot of problems to be sorted out and this wasnt just a one off thing, when I get back in ~10 hours Ill figure out what's going on
Until then Ive disabled the gamemaster so games wont move forward until I've sorted this all out"
My games notably, http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7722&msgCountry=Global, are not concluding. One of them have been in the ´due now´ phase for around ten hours. What is going on? Thank you for replying.
Just ignore Diplomat1824’s posts, for crying out loud!
For the last month or so I’ve watched with amazement as this forum has been hijacked by Diplomat1824. Somehow this immature brat has managed to incense otherwise reasonable users of this site and his mind-numbingly obnoxious posts continue to draw the attention of a surprisingly large number of intelligent people who - no offense - really should know better.
i got into the website before a few hours and saw that half of my games are ending "dew now". Now i got into the website again and it still says that they are ending "dew now". is that my problem or the website's problem?
I havent been on the site in a while and I dont remember a whole lot, is there anyway to PM someone through the site? or do you have to publicly or in a game ask for an email?
Can moderators unpause this game or get rid of where is chick?
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7642 This game has been paused since before it began because whereischick was banned. Can we start it or just remove whereischick so that we can get the game going? Cheers Dr. J
In this game I am Italy and he is Austria, and this is the dialog that took place between us (on the first message). This is totally not only disgusting, but unprofessional and should not be allowed. Will a moderator please look into this? Thanks. http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7797
that requested for GameMaster to be banned. I think he pissed him off! I can't find the thread anymore (wonder why ... GameMaster ...?) but I'm pretty sure it was one of the usual troublemakers - Dingle, figgle, alamothe, aoe3, friendly, someone like that. Perhaps you should ban them all and maybe GameMaster will come back to play ...
The New Years' Ghost-rating list is ready. The PPSC formula has been changed, to make it much more accurate. In particular the fallacy of expected result>18/34 has been resolved. And..... We now have a new number 1!
