Bug Report

In game Go Chargers (http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=2973) I (Germany) was unable to place units last fall, even though I've got 14 supply depots and only 13 units... anyone know why this might be?

Bug in support move orders?

I cannot upload the third field of any support move orders in http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=2879.
I submit the filled fields, they stay pink and never turn white, while my browser hangs on. Has anybody else experienced such a problem?
Thanks for your attention.

Tournament Update

It's been a while since anything's been said about the Grand Festive Diplomacy Tournament in the forum, so I thought I'd give an update.

We're in the midst of round 2. We seem to have lost two players to CD and one player only joined one of his games, but otherwise things have been going smoothly. A few of the games seem to be nearing completion, but there are still a few very interesting games going on. If you're interested in checking them out, visit the official tournament page at: http://www.llamanation.org/grandfestivediplomacytournament2007. That will have as up-to-date information on the tournament as I've written anywhere.

If the links tell you you're not a member of the game and don't show you the map, remove the www. from the game url's and they should work, thanks to an interesting quirk of phpdip.

I'll post updates in this thread as games complete and once the players moving on to the finals have been decided.

New Turn Length

Are the 48-hour turn lengths intentional? I can get used to it I'm just wondering.

In my games everything is running smoothly and I am very appreciative of supporting convoys and no self-displacement. However I am curious as to how the map will replace Game Master tab. Anyway I'm sure that will resolve itself, my main question is about the new turn lengths. I hadn't heard Kestas mention that so I'm curious.

Bug Glitch in Abgemacht

Abgemacht
Autumn 1904, Unit-placing
By my count I should be placing two units, but "The game" is informing me that I have nothing to do this round. We are also in a 40 hour turn, which seems a bit long to me.

Yes, I agree there too Pandora. This is fun, despite spamming the forum.

Pandora (100 )

I actually do not liek thoreau. for all his talk about reconnecting to nature and living on your own and roughing it, he lived about a mile from town and walked there daily. it reminds me of jack london, you know call of thje wild, white fang, and a shitload of other books about alaska. he went to alaska once, and not for very long. then he spent the rest of his life an overweight drunk in a decayng calfornia home.
I do appreciate your reply. it was well structered and mostly polite. well about as polite as one could expect on such a hot topic. and basically thank you for not being an asshole, like another person on this forum who cannot seem to raise himself above a seventh grade level and put forth a real argument, but continues to do just as I have chastised him for

Thucydides (864 )
06 Mar 08 UTC

lol. I have frequented enough of this kind of forum to know exactly what you mean. And i have BEEN that 7th grader often enough too, so I tried to keep my personal feelings mostly under control. And yes, Thoreau had people bringing him pies out in his cabin. So, he's not exactly a role model for me.

Tucobenedicto (100 )

Haha, get off your high horse, woman, I've presented my opinions to the forum. Just because I called you a few names doesn't give you the right to completely disregard my arguments.

Sure I do. I'm a badass Jew who isn't religious but believes in god, I hate the Unabomber and other such revolutionaries, and I disagree with you 90% of the time!

Tucobenedicto (100 )
06 Mar 08 UTC

Oh also, somewhat unrelated, but it's been nagging me for ages now. In my professional opinion, you should go back to school. There are millions of children all over the world who would kill to have the opportunity to be educated in this wonderful country.

Pandora (100 )
06 Mar 08 UTC

two sentences one of which is 3 words long, and the other which includes "I'm a badass" is not a valid argument. you dont have any real input. you dont have anything meaningful to say. you have no reason to continue to post. so stop.

Pandora (100 )

our education system is atrocious. there is nothing that they can teach me. thank you for your concern but it is unwarrented

Tucobenedicto, go back to counting your jew gold or something.
I'm kidding, I say that to all the jews I know. No offense is meant by it.
This thread needs to die, its a cesspool of hate and ignorance.
Every once in a while someone will make a good point, but as stated earlier, this is huge tl;dr material. Conversations like this are only interesting in real life where trolling just makes you an idiot.

See, that's the kind of attitude that gets you nowhere in life, missy. This is also exactly what I was talking about when I called you an "elitist prick". You are 17, wait a few years before you start making judgments like that.

Also, why must I write six paragraphs of crap in order to participate in a philosophical debate?

Thucydides (864 )

Hey guise, I'm also a junior. Looks like we have a lot in common after all!

Pandora (100 )
06 Mar 08 UTC

Oh you called me missy, that little bit of condescension will really snap be back to reality, make me drop all my beleifs and run off to enroll in high school, get a job, and be a productive member of society.

Thucydides, I quit going. they weren't teaching me anything I didnt know (yeah that sounds arrogant but its true) and it was taking too much time up that I could be spending on more worthwhile pursuits. I am squatting in a major american city, with stolen electricity and internet. I am very active in the community, if you pay careful attention to the news you will hear of things that I am involved with, directly or otherwise. I dont pay taxes, earn a wage, or support corporations. If I need something that I cannot make or get from someone for free I steal it. The other half the time I am camping, though it is cold now so it's a little less.

Thucydides (864 )

Well technically Pandora's not a junior per se since she's not enrolled, but she is 17. lol. see how a little bit of tipping your hand can bring people together.

haha there are lots of us. way more than you would think.

but I will be doing it for the rest of my life, unless I die or are imprisoned, neither of which are terribly unlikely. but thats okay I lead a fufilling life, unlike most

What did you mean by I am aware of your actions on the news?

I said if you pay attention you will probably eventually hear about somethign I was involved in. and I dont mean Fox News

Pandora (100 )
06 Mar 08 UTC

like what I tried to do today at the primaries. if I would have succeded that might have made it on the news. well alot of stuff we do does succeed. alot of protests and banner drops, thats what would make it on the news. the stuff that we're doing thats gonna bring about real change, that wont make it on the news, they're afraid of us. We're a growing movement, and not just kids like me. housewives. government workers. jarheads. desk jockeys. rich and poor, all races, we are growing..

Thucydides (864 )

Wait wait wait. Voter fraud? Wow that's awesome.... if you don't mind my lack of lamentation for the decline of true democracy. Lol but as one who can't legally vote, voter fraud has been on my mind.

I dunno, my idea of a fulfilling life is getting my JD/MBA, going into corporate law, and making a ton of money, while supporting my church, my preferred candidates, and my family.

I always wondered why atheists proselytized. For me and my calvinist and Christian brethren, it makes sense. We are trying to save people's souls. There is no benefit, that I can see, to atheism. You can appreciate science and whatnot without it. There is no moral code to lean on. When I get questioned on why I work hard on a job from start to finish, I have an answer that has nothing to do with greed or money. My faith says to do everything unto the Lord. Some of the criticisms of religion are good, but to discount religion on behalf of a few would be wrong(RE: Grand Inquistor, Brothers Karamazov).

Public Apology to all players affected by my meta gaming before.

Dear Kestas and all phpDiplomacy players,

I am here to apologise and say sorry to all players affected by my meta gamings before. Sorry for all inconveniences and unpleasure caused.

In order to show my sincere repentance, I will stop playing all the acounts.

I will start a new account, try to avoid playing with my classmates, or play with them in password games,
to enjoy the pleasure brought by this wonderful game with all phpDiplomacy players.

I hope that everyone will forgive me and let me repent, change and start over in this game again.

Hope that you will accept my public apology.

Thank you for all your attentions.

(Forgive me that my English sucks too:))

im sure this has been asked bef0re but why isnt russia white? isnt it white in the board game? it didnt look good? how about a cream/beige?
ive always thought the phpdip board a little too dark. some ligher colours might make it look nicer. and if it was lighter that would allow germany to be black...a much cooler looking colour than brown.

Suggestions for Kestas

Countries in CD should defend themselves. Units that can should hold support each other.

In the fall, countries without SCs, that cannot retreat into an open SC, should not be asked to retreat and disband. Too many players don't finalize those steps. The remaining players get to wait 48 hours.

Replying to people who always accuse, me, timchau, happyklim or other players in my class.

Let me explain to you guys about me and the players in my class first:

I am from Hong Kong, China.

I am in F.3, i.e. grade 9

My classmates playing phpDiplomacy include:

1. myself

2. saradomian

3. Gobbledydook

4. Chairman Mao

5. kn2005

6. timchau

7. happyklim

8. jasperleeabc

9.galaxypheonix

We are in the same class, and gobbledydook introduces this game to me. Soon, many of my classmates join, and we also like playing together. Playing in the the same game is not forbidden.

So I sincerely hope that you guys will stop making up things like we all are meta gaming.

Replying to sean:

Sometimes our classmate dosen't have enough points or don't want to play such low pot games. Also, some of us don't have too much time to play so many games. So, if we want to play private games, we would rather play the game on paper during the lesson... or free time :D

I hope this will answer all the questions to all of us.

Babysitter Wanted!

So, I'm going away for five days to Montreal during March break, and I'm looking for someone to take care of my account during the period. I'm only in one game, and it's basically a guaranteed win, so it's very low maintenance.

I'll be gone from March 7th to March 12th. E-mail me at [email protected] if you think you can take this job. Only two requirements, that you be relatively known and trustworthy, and obviously you aren't participating in my one game...

Thanks in advance!
