I'm new to the site, but not the game. I've created a game called Quick and Dirty. I'm looking for fast turns and no CDs. I've also picked up a few CDs in other games as I'm trying to get a feel for the community.

I know from [about a million] other threads that we're going to change the scoring system to prevent people getting high rankings just by joining a lot of games. I found a system at http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/ftf/hurst.htm
that also helps deal with metagaming.
I just thought i'd suggest something similar.

In one of my games, a person who seems quite experienced decided to play a country. He got Italy, after that, he seemed to not bother to play that game anymore and let his country go into civil disorder. However, he's still active and placing moves and such in other games. Is this really allowed?...

can you email it to him?

I'm guessing that the self-dislodgement rule IX.3 (http://faculty.washington.edu/majeski/426/sim1.html) is not properly implemented here. I ordered an army to be convoyed out of Bulgaria. The move failed so the unit stayed in Bulgaria. I also ordered a unit in Rumania to support a move by my ally from Greece to Bulgaria. As per example 2 of the rule quoted above my ally's move should have failed, because I would be supporting dislodgement of one of my units. But it suceeded.

... has been started. anyone can join.

I've been very busy working all day long, so I barely have time to sleep. Really. So, I won't be able to play until next month. Please put all my games into civ disorder. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Arthas has left phpDiplomacy and has is holding up half my games. Please turn him to civ disorder immediately Kestas. Thanks.

I read in the gender thread that some people started playing Diplomacy before I was even born, so I'm curious as to what the average age is here.

I'm 18, just started playing the game this week.

what do the green check marks and red x's next to screenames mean on the games page? thanks

...in due now

Italy had two armies: one in Rome, one in Naples. I had fleets in the Tyrrhenian sea and Ionian Sea, and armies in Venice, and Tuscany. Venice attacked Rome with support from Tuscany, and Ionian attacked Naples with support from Tyrrhenian. Naples was a success, but the attack on Rome failed.

Autumn 1905, Diplomacy: Your army at Venice moving into Rome recieved move support from the army at Tuscany.

Autumn 1905, Diplomacy: Your army at Venice engaged the army at Rome head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

Naples couldn't have supported Rome's hold, could it? Also, there were units that could have attacked Venice, but this should not stop the attack, should it?

Could you please explain why the attack failed?

Thanks!

can you have more than one army or navy in a territory at the same time?

I could not convoy an army from Naples to Albania by the Ionian Sea. This convoy should be able to happen.

Hello all,
I am new to the site, but I've already had problems with people leaving games without even starting. In fact, the only game I was in had two players off in the first turn.
That's why I decided to create my own. Feel free to join, considering I am rookie and afraid of everything.

at our school, we're having an end-of-the-year camping trip, so the following users will be inactive for 2-3 days:

aoe3rules

does anyone want to do my orders? reply soon.

I am knew to this site but already annoyed by people joining a game and not even making the first move. Can we track those people and set a threshold for missed turns? I'll help right the code if need be.

Does the moves that you last updated get executed?

in game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1169 all moves r set by all players, but they are not being completed

it happened before to me and i think it was in this particular game

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the outcome of:

Austria attacks Berlin with strength two (one attack, one support) and Russia also does the same. Berlin, with one army, holds.

I know Russia and Austria will have a stalemate, but what about the army in Berlin? Will it have to retreat, or remain in Berlin?

game is called diplomatic hell. it has a password, just ask me for it and I'll tell you

In game "Herdstone Game 2" I(France) have 4 control points but i do not have the option to place another unit. Is this a bug or am i just ignorant of the rules?

I've optimized user sessions, it turns out row locking and updating an InnoDB takes way longer than it should. Theyre now memory based, and a few other small changes to make it less database intensive.

This may well bring in some new bugs though, so let me know if you see anything odd, and if you're having troubles logging in tell me at [email protected]

My navy was attacked and defeated on the north coast of St Petersburg and was forced to retreat. No one was in the Barents Sea, but I was forced to disband. I had a unit in Norway. Why couldn't I retreat. I believe in the real game I could have retreated. Is this a PHP error or am I confused in the rules?

If you are not a newbie nor expert you are welcome.

Civil disorder is not alloed
