Game Pause
I'm running a private game with some friends (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=94862), and one just found out he doesn't have wifi at the hotel he'll be staying in for a day or two. Everyone, except the guy who has no internet, has issues a pause vote. He can't issue one, because he can't access the site. Could a mod please help here?

Bug in World Diplomacy variant: Moscow fleet movement
It seems a fleet in Moscow cannot move along the coast to Ukraine or Armenia, even though the standard rules would allow it to do so and there does not appear to be a special case rule prohibiting it.

If you draw with CD country in the game...
Does the CD player count as having drawn also? Or do I have to conquer all their SC's so that they don't get a cut?

If You Have A Problem With My Views, My Demeanor, or Me...Draugnar & Co.
Tell me. Write me a PM. Tell me in a post. I make myself a large enough target I can--and have to--take it. I have no problem with that. (However, creating a thread about me and telling me not to bother post or pay heed while your congregation evaluates me as a poster and person and shares how much of a prick you all think I am with others while claiming *I* am the one without class...and worse--if you're going to call me shit, at least "say it to my face," as it were.

Reducing Resigns
Would it be possible to create a system that allows for the creator of a new game to but a max resign percentage required to join the game? I have no idea how hard it would be to code, but I'm just thinking allowed. It could be an advanced option, with the default having no limit. Another idea could be to add in a penalty for resigns (in advanced options). Any thoughts?

Public Press Game - call for players
I rarely play public press, but I am hoping to bring in some players that I haven't yet had the pleasure (that I can remember) of lining up against. The only criteria, and sole reason for the public press, is that you must lob insults or banter w/ allies and foes alike. Thus, I'd like to personally invite Nigee and Zultar along w/ 4 other random persons that would be interested.

Here we go, underdog :P. As a side note can we all play the game to win the tourney, or come in as high a place as possible? It changes the dynamic of the games when people are playing for different reasons - some for ghost rating, some for points, etc.

Fortress Door (1837 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
if you play just to win in the tourny, then i am not sure if it could be called real Diplomacy. In real Diplomacy, you try to keep the other guys from winning. If you are playing to only win the tourney, it is like a PPSC game (which would be fine if it was actualyly MADE a PSSC tounrey). You guys can play like that, but i am goingi to play as I usually play Diplomacy, trying to stop the solo when it comes and getting the best possible outcome for the game itself.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
14 Jul 12 UTC
You won't get rich playing these games and who really cares about GR...... I look at it once a month and then get over it
No matter who I'm playing against I want to win, my stats show that most of the time I don't but I still enter a game with the same intent, who knows one day I'll surprise you all :-)
achillies27 (100 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
This happens to be a PPSC Tourny.
BosephJennett (866 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
Sometimes playing to win the tourney means playing to stop the solo (especially in the last game or two if you're near the top in points).
Alex987 (174 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
Indeed, sometimes it does mean playing to stop the solo. But that comes in very rare circumstances and wasn't what I was talking about earlier. And it's not about stopping the solo, it's about stopping the other guy from gaining SCs. Doesn't matter if he solos, it's about him having 18 SCs at the end of the game ;). And to mirror to PPSC nature of the tourney, can we have the games PPSC too just for consistency?
Alex987 (174 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
to mirror the PPSC nature*

And in that case Fortress, why join a tourney if you don't play for the overall win but just the individual ones? It defeats the purpose, there might as well not even be a tourney then and just individual games that Nigee sets up ;)
achillies27 (100 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
And, I never said that playing to win meant not stopping the solo, I don't know where fortress got that.
Fortress Door (1837 D)
14 Jul 12 UTC
@achillies

i wasn't refering to you when i said that :p. I wasn't really refering to anyone, just saying what it would lead to

@Alex
oh, i am playing to win the tournament, it is just not my only goal. To be honest, I no longer care about points and ghost rating as much as i used to, and play simply to enjoy the game. I don't enjoy the game when people are fine with letting another person solo just because they will leave his centers alone (assuming that the player in question has the means to stop the solo)
Sandgoose (0 DX)
14 Jul 12 UTC
I'm frankly sick of GR to be honest. Though it does matter, it depends on who you play...not really the best way to "move up the ladder" So I joined this damn thing. :)

Team game on Vdip. Grab a buddy and join.
There is a two player team game starting soon. Only a few spots left. Grab a friend and come join and see if you can win with a teammate. This is not meta gaming at all. It is being allowed to have two friends join and play as a team. Stated so in the rules and on the forum on Vdip. So if you like playing with a teammate and would like to play a game for sure to be allies and no issues of complaints. Join: http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=8986
