Sorry everyones whose games i am affecting but i am going on a camping trip and then a proper holiday shortly afterwards. I am afraid i don't expect to be back until mid-august...

I don't know if it's possible for kestas to set my games to CD but it might help the games i'm in move faster.

I am particularly sorry to all my allies and the enemies that capitulated to bolster my advance. I will look forward to returning!!!

I just started a game - I drew England - in which France, Germany & Italy have all submitted moves without even sending a message to me. Either

a) They are all allied together already in which case I am doomed

b) They are connected via the pyschic hotline and are able to form alliances by the power of their minds

c) They have moved on auto-pilot.

Either way, I find it very odd and very un diplomatic, but its not the first time. More and more I see games which are essentially all against all with almost no communication or alliance forming. In a recent game I was Austria - stabbed in Autumn 1901 by my Italian "ally" because "that's Austria's fate". Fair enough I suppose, but its reflective on a trend of very shallow gaming that I see increasingly.

its a classic draw. What should we do now?

A situation like this has occurred in one of my games where two neighbouring territories have both been forced to retreat, and I assume both have the option of retreating to the same place?

For example - imagine Budapest and Trieste both being forced to retreat at the same time. They both would be able to choose Serbia if they wished - and in this scenario how is it decided who retreats there?

11:40 PM Spring 1905, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Denmark prevented the fleet at Sweden from giving a stand support.
11:40 PM Spring 1905, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Skagerrack successfully supported the fleet at Denmark move to Sweden.
11:40 PM Spring 1905, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Denmark moving into Sweden recieved move support from the fleet at Skagerrack.

....so why didn't my fleet move to Sweeden?

It concerns this game:

kestas plays this one too, I sent him an ingame mssg but didn't reply yet.
I had a fleet in Spain, which was kicked. I want to retreat to Portugal, but I can't. There is no army there, and it wasn't contested, so I should be able to retreat there.

This is really random, but does anyone know what territory you have to be in to change Crete's color from orange? AS far as I can tell, it can't be done- Crete is not part of any territory.

Dear friends and foes, as it's summer, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to access internet every day (I'm very dependent on my unstable wireless connection at my countryside). Thus I'm not able to keep high quality play & might miss my turns time to time.

I will not join any new games for about two months, but I try to finalize these 4 (hopefully 3 in couple of turns ;) ...) games I'm playing in. So be patient with me & You will see me more often in autumn :)

Thanks for all of You!

I have been away from this site since Christmas (2006) revising for my exams, i expected, that when i returned the site would have been upgraded - visually it has not been. The user interface is exactly the same, would you mind informing me if the problems this site had when i left have been fixed such as the convoying; does the convoying now work properly?, can you declare an allied victory?, can you control what coast a fleet is created at? and are there any plans for a more orderly forum system?
thank you.

the map says bulgaria has a north and a south coast, but doesn't it have an east coast instead of a north coast?

Majorek is an established player, but is unfortunately playing two puppets in several games: Sander and Fistro, both created the same day and as of this writing, all three only in games together.

Became obvious in "another open game" http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1244 where Austria utterly abandons home SCs and fails to defend after initial incursion.

Your fleet at Mid-Atlantic Ocean's move support wasn't accepted by the unit which support was being given to. (it was the Paris unit)
Your army at Paris attempted to attack the army at Brest, but failed.

The only thing i can think of is that i made a mistake in my orders, is there a way to check which unit the MAO unit was trying to support?

the game is "BATTLE SHIP". hurry and take this free, easy win before someone else does! (or before i take advantage of it and destroy everyone <:-] )

There will be blood...

All players welcome.

i just joined another game, and that makes 11. or is the game limit based on ratings/games won now?

If an army from a center attack another in a land, it shouldn't prevent the other army to attack? Look what happend:

"Autumn 1904, Diplomacy: Your army at Warsaw attempted to attack
the army at Ukraine, but failed".

Why my attack failed? And why the other army suceffuly attacked me?

I will not be able to play in the next two months or so, so please put my games in civil disorder. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Very, very, very annoying - for some reason it was impossible to log in while I was in Zimbabwe and all my games have gone into civil disorder.

I don't see this in the official rules nor in the site FAQ, but I've seen plenty of games get won with less than 18 SCs. Why?

Join the Imperial Campaign game or the Imperial Total War game!

Has to stop for a few days, due to vacation time. All players agree, could you pause this game, until Sunday evening? (It is a private game)

Thanks

do games end in the spring if an opponent reaches 18 centers or only in the autumn?

Game id= 998
Classic coastal retreat bug; fleet on south coast of Bul forced to retreat by fleet invading from Rumania, retreat options given are those for North Coast; i.e. none.
I know we know about this, I know we've been promised that it'll be fixed for months now.
I also know this leaves me down a unit in a crucial area.
What I would like to know is when it will actually be fixed?

Am I right in saying that it is impossible in phpdiplomacy to support any attack made by a convoy? Isn't this a bug that should be fixed?
