King of the Hill
Special Rules Game:

How is one's position calculated?
Is it based upon the number of games played? How recently the last games were played? The distribution of wins, survivals, loses?

Gray checks/Saved moves
I know that when you click save instead of ready, you get a gray check. But if time runs out before you click ready, are your saved moves inputed or do you have no moves for that turn?

Colorblindness update and live game display option
Colorblind options are now live. Live game display option is also live. Both settings can be changed under "settings." Much thanks to ATC and the dev team, including thorfi, Kestas, and Oli. ATC will also push out the auto update fix for the colorblind option soon. You might have to manually update your map to see the change at the moment.
Please thank them for the work they do and let us know how much you enjoy these updates!

To those arguing about Tsarnaev
These are the names you should be remembering:

Krystle Marie Campbell (29), Lu Lingzi (23), Martin William Richard (8), and Sean A. Collier (27). Not to mention the 264 other injured people. The bomber does not deserve to have his name remembered by society, they do.

An Ancient Mediterranean Game, looking for players.
I would like to start a game in the Ancient Mediterranean. There will be messaging and press, and maybe anonymous players. This game will have normal turn lengths (1 day) and may or may not be password protected. Would anyone be interested in this?

if all remaining players give unanimous vote for either DRAW, PAUSE, or CANCEL, that effect will happen immediately.

DRAW: ends the game and rewards a Draw Includes All Survivors Equally.
PAUSE: Pauses (the game clock will freeze) the game and unpauses the game once all players vote UNPAUSE.
CANCEL: Deletes the game from existence. There will be no record of the game. All points will be refunded to everyone. Use this is there is a reason the game should never have happened (like cheating happened, or someone didn't show up at the start, etc etc)

Players that have been eliminated or resigned do not count as players for requiring unanimous vote.

1. Apparently you want http://webdiplomacy.net/faq.php because case sensitivity is a thing.

2. Also in that FAQ: This site seems to slow my computer down
See Help > What is Plura? for a likely cause and fix.

... I can't find anything about "What is Plura?" under the Help link.

3. "What are/Where could I go to find out about common opening moves/strategies?"

4. "Who should I talk to at the start of a game?"

5. "What are/Where could I find out about some of the less obvious tactical options (e.g. self-bounce, supported-attack-on-own-province, using cuttable vs uncuttable supports, etc)?"

6. "When should I press Draw?"

7. "What's a stalemate line and why are they important?"

When will the bug with victory being declared before autumn retreats be fixed?
steephie22 (182 D(S))
14 May 15 UTC
Only the domain name isn't case-sensitive. For instance, WEBDIPLOMACY.NET will get you here. WEBDIPLOMACY.NET/INDEX.PHP won't get you here because index.php is a file name: you are redirected to a file by that name on the domain you entered and there is no file named INDEX.PHP.

WEBDIPLOMACY.NET/index.php will work as well. Just the bit after the / is case-sensitive, in a nutshell.

I blame microsoft for lack of case sensitivity. An A is different from an a. At first, Windows took your password and UPPERCASED IT SO IT WASN'T CASE SENSITIVE. Idiots.
jbalcorn (429 D)
14 May 15 UTC
Just about the only case insensitive protocol in Unix is DNS..which is why the domain name is not case sensitive.

actually steephie, WEBDIPLOMACY.NET/INDEX.PHP probably will get you there. Since index is usually understood by browsers and rendered correctly. I know it'll at least work on chrome, probably on IE and others as well.

Not Found

The requested URL /INDEX.PHP was not found on this server.

(It's actually down to the web server for the stuff on the right of the domain name. It's possible to configure them in ways that mean case sensitivity isn't a thing.)

8. As per forum thread http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?viewthread=1258800#1258800

"What do NMR/CD/RR mean and why are they important?"
No Move Received/Civil Disorder/ Reliabiltity rating. NMR is not putting in a move on time, CD is leaving a game because of inactivity, both pertain to your RR score.
jbalcorn (429 D)

Two NMRs in a row put a country into CD. At that point, someone else can take over your country.

Second Quake in Nepal
You all heard the news before. I asked people not to forget, so I'm reminding people today again. There was a second quake this morning of similar magnitude (7.3), killing many, but more importantly right now, people are forced to live communally outdoors as the monsoon season approaches.
