What Happened to GameMaster?
In this game, it's currently Autumn 1902, and yet on my gamemaster tab I only have one line which reads " Autumn 1902, Retreats: Nothing happened involving your units in this phase."

My previous moves from 1901 are all gone. What's up with this?

Strange Player Name
In the game Fat and Juicy Italy is in civil disorder and the name of the Italy player is "Civil Disorder Italy". Did the player specifically make an account to play as Italy and be in civil disorder all the time?

This is just weird and I'm bringing it up because it might be cheating.

MasterMinds III & IV
i'm starting another MasterMinds only game. email me if you want to join. i'll start the game as soon as i get 6 emails. or, since there are so many of us now, we could have two games. (no one would be in both, so someone else would have to start the second)

What are the different ranks (like Mastermind or Casual Player) and the criteria for reaching them? I just started so I'm interested.
Chrispminis (916 D)

kestas posted it earlier, but it's currently fairly simple.

It takes into account the number of games you have played, the number of games you have won, and the number of games you are currently playing.

Thus far, Rait is dominating the Mastermind series. =\

Hm, I sent an e-mail but got a notification telling me that my e-mail did not go through.

So I am requesting here, and perhaps you could just e-mail me the password. Thanks.

I'd like an invite as well, if any are left.
Rait (10151 D(S))
06 Jun 07 UTC
There is already existing a game Masterminds III, so You have to proceed with Masterminds IV, I would like to be invited, I will send You an e-mail
Rait (10151 D(S))
06 Jun 07 UTC
One more thing, as Masterminds (or even Dipolmat for that matter) rank can be achieved without winning a single game, I suggest additional requirement that joining players should have won at least 5 games. How does it sound to You, aoe3rules?
aoe3rules (949 D)
06 Jun 07 UTC
i don't really know any MasterMinds who have reached that status without winning any games, with the exception of will6691. but i'll check their profile. now, Rait and Chrispminis wanted passwords?
aoe3rules (949 D)
06 Jun 07 UTC
okay, i've sent an email to Chrispminis, Salmaneser, and Arthas. Rait, Zxylon, and Arthas had their emails hidden :(
Salmaneser (6160 D)

I'm resigning for this one though, don't have that much time with exams. I'll be real active again in 3 weeks.

Rait (10151 D(S))

I think You can also put the password here as long as You are inviting people to the game by name...

well, i am not a mastermind. I am a newbie but i try hard. I would like to watch the game. May i have the password? I will not join the game
aoe3rules (949 D)
07 Jun 07 UTC
okay, since it doesn't really matter any more, the password is:
AEFGIRTIV
that's the first letter of every country in alphabetical order, with "IV" after it since it's the fourth game.

I am sure that we can find a solution. I propose that if salmaneser or fastspawn has not taken over by fall then we invite agmarios to play.

11 Jun 07 UTC
If anyone wants to join before the first season ends, they'd better do so quickly. Password is in this thread, and although experienced players are preferred, _anything_ is better than a civil disorder Italy.

Please join quickly to make moves before Fall 1901.
Chrispminis (916 D)
11 Jun 07 UTC
Ahahaha, oh Kestas. You know my intentions are innocent. : )

Besides, is France not content to wallow in it's guaranteed builds?

And yes, Locke, I nearly fainted when I saw Rait's win %. I was boasting about my *near* 50% wins, but he came and trumped me. We played in two games afterwards, and he managed to take the win in both.

I fear him now. More than any other player.

He is a powerful ally, but somehow, just somehow, he always manages to sneak off the win, and in an elegant fashion. I'm always impressed, and he somehow manages to betray me in a way, that I don't feel cheated or unsatisfied. He works on another level entirely, and if I were a more paranoid person, I'd say he hacked into the databases.

Rules Question
I am just wondering what the rule is and what the outcome will be on this site if this situation were to happen:

Lets have Four Armies armies Army A, B, C and D. A and B are on the same team, C and D are on the same team.

Say A is in Trieste, B is in Budapest, C is in Vienna, and D is in Galacia.

So the situation is as follows:

Army A move Trieste - Vienna
Army B support move Triest - Vienna

So there is an attack of strength two on Vienna.

Army C move Vienna - Bohemia
Army D support Hold in Vienna.

Say Army C were to have a stalemate in Bohemia, and so comes back to Vienna. Now is there a stalemate in Vienna, since they are both strength two, OR does the support hold order become void, and Army C is forced to retreat?

Any help is appreciated.

Unreliable players - name names?
Do the experienced players on this site have an appetite for a thread that names names of players who
-have abandoned when the going got tough
-haven't fought right to the bitter end
-don't finalize their moves in a timely fashion

I think the bugs on the site aren't a big deal, as long as you know what they are. But the potentially fatal flaws in this site are the absence of a abandon game option, the number of moves before an abandoned country goes into cd, and the length of time to wait for retreats when there's no place to go.

Due Now status
After the 24 hour time limit the game is in the "due now" status. Why does the game not make the moves? If there are players that have not finalized orders whey does it not just default them to hold and move on?

Feature request: record NMR's
Certainly not a high priority, but it would be nice if phpdiplomacy logged each time a player committed an NMR ("no moves received"), and displayed in his profile the percentage of his turns that were NMR's.

Maybe game creators could even set a threshold: "anyone can join this game except people with NMR% higher than 10%" etc.

Fleet support cut by army????
Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Aegean Sea was attacked by a army at Greece, and had to defend itself, so couldnt support a move elsewhere.

Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your army at Constantinople engaged the army at Bulgaria head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1162

Could you extend the turn deadline by one day? Some of our players have disappeared and it is unlikely that they'll make a move by 8AM PST. I wouldn't want any player to skip a turn as that unbalances the game.

Rules that haven't yet been implemented
I just got this Gamemaster message: "Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your army at Serbia prevented the army at Rumania from giving a support move against your army at Serbia." Is that to be taken as accurate? I thought if Xxx s Yyy->Zzz, then Zzz->Xxx couldn't cut that support. Either this is an erroneous message, or the rule I just cited isn't yet implemented in phpdiplomacy.

I haven't been able to find any kind of list of known discrepancies between phpdiplomacy adjudication and the official rules, but it would be useful to have such a list. Can we list such discrepancies here for future reference?

In phpdiplomacy, unlike in regular Diplomacy...
1) You can't yet support the movement of a unit that's being convoyed.
2) A unit that's under attack can cut support being given to its own attacker.
3) A convoy is disrupted if it is attacked, even if the attack is unsuccessful.
4) A unit to be convoyed specifies what route to use, not its destination.
5) Other players don't get to see your orders, only the results of the orders.
6) ...

What else?
