Question for Kestas

in game: http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5155

we're waiting for France to retreat, but I can't figure out why. He has been holding his last unit in Paris for several turns and no one has been able to take him there including last turn. But since he doesn't have much interest in the game, he doesn't care about putting his orders in. I understand that and while annoying, I don't fault him. But there's no reason the rest of us should have to wait the entire cycle when he doesn't have any retreat orders to make. Can you explain? Or maybe even force the finalize?

Thanks in advance

Here is the global chat from the game(early April) I am referring to...
======================================
me Spring 1910: canute is a multi-player scumbag. He/she and TinTin are one and the same. He/she is also likely PirateJack and a score of other aliases. This worm needs to be stomped on and eradicated.

canute 09 Apr 08 Spring 1910: aww maple, lol
09 Apr 08 Spring 1910: ha ha. God you are sad. Poor excuse for a cannuck lol

me 09 Apr 08 Spring 1910: Actually, I'm happy. You are a pathetic child, who needs to cheat at an online strategy game for..........unknown reasons. Low self esteem, I suppose.

canute 09 Apr 08 Spring 1910: so...now multi accounting is as little as throwing your own words back at you? Ha ha ha. You are a sad, inept, pathetic excuse for a middle aged man. Still living with mummy no doubt. Everyone else- check the forum for full details of his pathetic rant. Horrible to lose, huh?
======================================
No. It's horrible to BE a loser.

You know, I've been thinking about it. For so many people to suspect a guy (by "so many people" I mean "so many vocal people") of meta, and for him to have gone on as long as he did, well, that's truly a piece of work. I've always said that if I cheated, I'd do it right. You don't want to cheat and be obvious about it. Too bad he seems to have an ego issue (as would anyone that was a cheater on something as trivial as this, I suppose.)

Sorry to double post, but the reactions of some of the people on this thread are hilarious.

When I raised the issue back in April, Feckless and Sicarius did everything except fly down to Australia and give canute a foot massage. In fact, this represented the beginning of my wonderful online relationship with Feckless.

Just for fun. Scroll up and read Feckless's comment about "manning up".

Show us how, Feckless.

Beg my forgiveness.

Moron.

Feckless Clod (777 )

No, mapleleaf, I have never stood up for canute, who I've always found to be a obnoxious shit, much like yourself. I honestly have no idea what you're blathering on about now, though I might very well have had something to say about the endless accusations of cheating presented to this forum without any evidence whatsoever, and about your own racist tirades. For this I will not apologise. Keep taking the bills, fuckwit.

Way to man up, Feckless. You never fail to disappoint me.

You know who I am, dook? Good for you. I have no idea who you are. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same. You are utterly beneath my notice. Also, I am not incarcerated. Isn't it a little early to be hitting the bottle?

Gobbledydook (1389 )

I know the President of the United States too. Problem is, he doesn't.
And he probably doesn't know you either, so you can't insult me for that.

ok maple what do you want a medal?
congratulations, one of your many accusations turned out to be right
I can remember several other accusations you made that were proved false, namely myself.
maybe if canute was a serial killer or something I would be more thankful, but you really didnt DO anything
so it's ok, you can stop inflating your own ego now

Gentlemen, gentlemen,

we should be backstabbing eachother in a fair and civilized manner. Not this chatter we Dutch call 'schuttingtaal' (incorrectly translated as fence-bitching). So, keep your high standards. Any expierenced player should have no problems facing three multi's, isn't it?

kinda late here but i always knew there was something wrong with this guy. IN a game i was in with him he was with that kangaroo guy and suggesting i was meta gaming with kangaroo. As soon as he started losing he accused me of cheating. even tho he was meta-gaming with russia and he was austria he still lost

hey so sicarius if you want to meet a psychopath serial killer just take a look at Azogar. That guy scares the shit outta me mainly bc all of the demented things that he said to me. Oh and to complete the mood of the thread im pretty sure (even though kestas suggests otherwise) that he is a meta with at least one other account that i had the pleasure of playing against.

WhiteSammy (132 )
27 Aug 08 UTC

haha well i was looking up the game number that feckless provided towards the very beginning of the thread, and i got curious and so i put the number in as if it was a account number and found the results to be quite interesting based on the topic of the thread itself.

Inflation

Wow, When I joined the minimum for the top 100 was just at 600, 5 months ago. Now I'm 101st with 880 points. 280 points over 5 months, which on 600 is 47%, 9% per month (avg).

Following this, on my anniversary, I estimate that the points for the top 100 will be >1270. That's 112% inflation rate over a year.

Unique Games

So i found this game while looking at other peoples games and this one in particular caught my eye.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3627

I find this game extremely unique bc
1) neither england, france, or germany was eliminated within at least 6 turns and neither one was forced to move away from its home sc's like austria.
2) the game is, oddly enough, very well balanced at the end, with of course the exception to the winner.
3) this game was not rigged by a meta but had the end results that look like one that the meta just moved the units of the other countries out of the way of his own.

Basically i was just wondering if anyone has seen a game like this one you know something extremely unorthodox like the person who won was missing a home sc or anything crazy in general.

Rating system vote

See thread "Ranking system" for details on the systems.

everyone places one vote for their preferred ranking system. note that Kestas will not program any new system, and it must be tested on an alternate server if it is to be implemented.

we add up the votes, and if an alternate ranking system wins, everyone who is willing to help develop it should start working.

the options are:

1. Current point system.
Pros: proven to work/stable. helps separate new from experienced players.
Cons: susceptible to inflation, and cheating. same reward for beating anyone, as long as they have the points.

2. Zarathrusta's proposed system.
Pros: supposedly more accurate.
Cons: supposedly more inaccurate.

3. Elo ratings
Pros: solves all problems of current point system.
Cons: too much effort.

4. Other (post in your reply, along with P/C).
Pros/Cons: who knows what.

Why I quit Diplomacy

Here is the Austrian Emperors last ditch effort to stay alive long enough for help to arrive. I turn to once Proud Russia's final unit in Galicia for some help.

Tue 03 AM (Austria, Me) Autumn 1904: not for nothing but I never crossed you, could you help me out with your last orders?
10:20 PM (Russia) Spring 1905: what do you want help with?
03:56 AM (Austria) Spring 1905: support vienna into budapest?
11:32 AM (Russia) Spring 1905: done

*I Bounce with no Turkish support on Budapest and no support from Russia*

07:14 PM (Austria) any reason you left me out to dry?
07:16 PM (Russia) order history...
Russia:
The army at Galicia support move to Vienna from Budapest.
07:17 PM (Austria) What? It was supposed to be veinna into Budapest. Are you kidding me? Why would I want you to support budapest to vienna?
07:18 PM (Austria) translation: you got it backwards

Question re what army movement & outcome

French army Burgundy moves to Belgium
French army Marseilles moves to Burgundy
French army Paris supports Marseilles' move to Burgundy

German army Rhur moves to Belgium

Because the two units moving into Belgium are moving with equal force, neither wins, and thus there is a stand-off.

Does the French unit return to Burgundy, pushing the unit now in Burgundy back to Marseilles, OR does the unit now in Burgundy remain in Burgundy, and thus the unit that failed to occupy Belgium obliged to retreat to a contiguous empty space (such as Picardy)?

Government

So, in my tired ramblings I came up with the idea of a phpDip goverment that might be entrusted in regulating some of the inflation problems (it might even tie in with kestas's moderators).

Systems could include determination by vote, by rank, or better: both.

This would be very interesting, as Diplomacy is a political game in a nature, and I feel that many players would enjoy a longer-spanning side-game so to speak.

Convoy Rules - Kiel

Can an army in, say, Norway, on a fleet through the Nth Sea, on another fleet through the Heligoland Bight, on another fleet through the Baltic, and land in Berlin without stopping for a turn at Kiel.

In the rule book, the close up views of Kiel seem to indicate that the Heligoland Bight includes the Kiel canal and the little bit of water on the eastern side of Kiel. So, it seems to me that convoying through there should be possible, but I've not found an explanation that covers that.

What does everyone think?

GMT- 3 begin at 10:00 am until 05:00 pm 30 minutes

Hi. I want to start a game with 30 minutes/ round. The idea is that the game will have 72h/round just to no post a turn in weekend. But, every player needs (during the week since 10:00 am until 05:00 pm) post his orders in 30 minutes / turn, On this way the game will have 30 minutes x turn but will not have end of turn on weekend or during the night. For this I am using the GM -3. Who wants???

I want to look at the code of the site, just to see how complex is it, and if I can help somehow.
Where should I look for it?
And the variations? Are all discussed here? Or there is some system for group development or something?

(It is likely this have been discussed before, but, why not to use some forum system as phpBB or similar? It is really messy to follow some conversations here... ;-).

Question re what a fleet can and cannot do

A fleet leaves harbour to venture into waters occupied by an opposing fleet, and she does this with no support. Normally the first fleet would be bounced back from whence she came.
But, what if simultaneously, the opposing fleet conveys an army into the harbour from whence the first fleet floated from. As the first fleet was unable to dislodge its enemy fleet, does the opposing army that was conveyed now occupy the first fleet's harbour? And if so, does that mean that the first fleet retreats to any unoccupied adjascent space contiguous to both (a) its harbour and (b) the water into which it first attempted to sail?
