King of the Hill
Special Rules Game:
A center is randomly selected (through chance) at the start of the game. Whoever controls it a decade later (Fall 1910) wins. If you solo before then, you win as well. Draws are not allowed. There will always be one winner and 6 losers.
Standard Map, 36 hour phases, WTA.

If the 18th center isn't taken in or before the Fall of 1910, the one who owns Moscow wins.

Including retreats? : )
mendax (321 D)

They're basically KotH, but with less and less supply centres on the board so that there's only one remaining. In rising seas, Switzerland is the last SC (I forget when it becomes passable), and in shifting sands it's Iceland. These probably aren't playable on webdip, but they're on realpolitik i think.

I hope this game ends on an overlooked retreat and Italy wins with a single unit left in Moscow.

Hey guys, I noticed we don't have a record of this going on in the mod email. Can you shoot us a quick email to [email protected] with the rules so we have it on record in case we get any questions on it?

Thanks and much appreciated,

Sure, but the OP kind of covers it all..

Although I mentioned it before, we haven't really discussed what happens if someone takes the target center. Is everyone okay with allowing the winner to take 18 SCs?
Yoyoyozo (65 D)

Ok with me.

So the mods ruled it will be canceled, but I can probably host the game info on my site somehow, if people would appreciate that.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
18 May 15 UTC
I also just came to the conclusion I did in fact mention the rule that the winner is allowed to take 18 centers in the first post I made in this thread. I'm asking the mods what they think on the matter now.

I could take all the game maps and upload them to an imgur album at the end if you want.

I think it's a shame people voted to cancel. I voted to keep the result.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)

Thanks Jamiet. Steephie, the mods didn't "rule" it will be cancelled at game end. We asked the players- who voted to cancel, as Jamiet pointed out. We're not here to tell people how to play their games - but we *are* here to help out with running interesting variants like this one :)

I'm really interested to see how this goes - good luck everyone!

I stand corrected and apologise, I didn't mean to imply the mods were to blame for anything. Clearly I messed up a little, we should've figured this out before the game started. I guess I wrongly assumed there would be no issues there.

I'm basically offering to host the game records on my site in case anyone disappointed by the outcome of the vote would appreciate having it on record somewhere.

If this variant catches on, that's also convenient for exploiting my bragging rights, stating the rules, keeping scores etc.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
18 May 15 UTC
No worries Steephie. I think it'd be a great service if you want to host the records afterwards! Capt has put maps on imgur before (and I think he offered to do just that above) - but it'd be good to have a record of the rules that isn't just the forum.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
18 May 15 UTC
Yup, thanks for the offer captainmeme!
Isn't it simply copying and pasting all maps to an online server and then showing them on the site though? Unless there's an easier method to show the pictures directly on my site, I think they don't need to be on imgur as well, although you're free to do that of course, captainmeme.

Still thanks for the offer though! Unless I forgot something, that won't be neccessary.

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!

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.

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.
