I'll ask in the Game 1 tread if we can get an alternate sitter for you, dave. Assuming the game kicks off on time. If not, we'll just wait until you're back
So what do we do now?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
10 Feb 12 UTC
I assume it did not kick off? Who didn't sign in?

We look for another player and a replacement TA and try again

This still happening? Where are we at?
stratagos (3269 D(S))

The game did not kick off as one of the players was a no-show.

I'd like the six players who *did* join to sound off. We'll recreate the list, find a seventh player, and possibly a new TA to replace dave

Whoever is running this show should send the TAs a message as well once it gets going, just in case I miss this thread's updating?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
13 Feb 12 UTC
I will do so, but at the rate things are going we may just scrub it and try again after Game 1 completes
steephie22 (182 D(S))
13 Feb 12 UTC
I was allowed to join but I don't think all players of game 1 know they can join too, if they can someone should clarify here and in game 1 thread...

thanks strat for organizing this.

If someone pm's me when the game gets underway I don't mind contacting all the TA's..

I just haven't been checking this thread daily so I'm liable to miss it if this things starts soon.

Repeat: permission to ask in game 1?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
18 Feb 12 UTC
Stephie, wait until the game concludes. We apparently just lost one of our potential students, so we'll revisit game two once game one concludes.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
18 Feb 12 UTC
i don't get why we should wait, but fine to me...
stratagos (3269 D(S))
18 Feb 12 UTC
Because at least two of the TAs, as well as myself, have plenty on their plate. It is better to wait until there are fewer distractions all around, given how challenging it has proven to organize this.

Giving people an opportunity to take in the lessons of the first game will lower the chamce they repeat the same mistakes.

Time-wasters who team up with their mates.......
and enter anonymous games and team up against everyone else and usually but not always win. Then they spend all their time making sure they get 17 SCs each before drawing. Then flushed with their 'success' they start doing it in further matches. I just want to play a game with genuine competition where people win on merit and not because they teamed up with their schoolmates. How can this be stopped or how can I prevent getting stuck in games with these imbeciles?

this is what i think of people frowning upon me
i don't care.

what happens if you're playing a non-live game and the tides have turned, and it's clear your alliance will lose, and none of the opposition will defect? for live games, i usually play them through because it doesn't take too long to end them, but who wants to spend weeks playing a game that you will eventually lose?

Somaliland
Does anyone else ever get frustrated at the lack of international recognition of Somaliland? I find myself coming back to this subject over and over, trying to find any good reason to not recognize a democratic state in Africa with a history of free and fair elections, non-violent transitions of power, and relatively stable economic growth.

DATC and the known errors on this site
I took a look at the DATC tests here (http://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php) and noticed that 6.H (Retreating), 6.I (Building) and 6.J (Civil Disorder and Disbands) were all missing. Two of the most prominent errors on this site fall in this area (ending games before retreats and incorrect civil disorder disbands).

Failed move?!
Basicly the situation was that while playing as turkey in the late 1901 I moved my army from Bul to Gre and another one from Con to Bul via land, supported by a fleet in the black sea, but somehow the move failed and the army order is referred as hold in the orders log. My other army emptied Bul and noone else attacked there so why did the move fail? Any ideas?

Points Lost in Cheating Matches
Do the moderators reimburse points to players retrospectively when they find they were victims of cheating in previous matches?
Also on a general point why do so many people try and cheat, what is the point?

website does not always display all games / how do you resign a game?
The website does not always display all 4 of my games at the top. Therefore, I got into a game on the late end of the turn and got attacked because I couldn't negotiate from the beginning, and it is ruined once again. This would not have happened if I could have resigned the first 2 games. They continue to display at the top of the screen even though I want to quit. How do you resign / surrender?
Overall, I have had a much worse experience with this website than I expected.
