I have been on a php leave of absence for sometime but I am back and I want to kick it off with a fun higher stakes game with the new point system.

To make the game more enjoyable for those who have overplayed me
I make the pledge that
0. I do everything in my power to come back to the game, but I do not hold up the game in a meaningless situation.
1. Whenever I cannot retreat anywhere, I dislodge as soon as I can.
2. Whenever I am out of a game and I have to disband, I do as soon as I can.
3. I never go to Civil Disorder, unless RL issues force me to, I rather declare I am out, make sensible moves, and make them as fast as I can.

I was not able to understand how should I give support to a convoyed unit (see game Dog II).
I tried to convoy an army from Wales through English Channel into Belgium with support from a fleet in North Sea, but attack failed with this message in GameMaster: "Autumn 1903, Diplomacy: Your fleet at North Sea's move support wasn't accepted by the unit which support was being given to".
I am sure I filled the order in the only acceptable manner, no other way of stating orders was available.
So what is the matter? This kind of attack is not possible? This would be a great limitation for England.

Now we have an official ranking system, is there any chance of the top 7 players getting together and playing each other in an open game which everyone can watch?

(I don't quite make the cut... for now!)

the dreaded internal server error is back! has anyone else had this problem yet?

See the game Dog III

France have 0 (zero) point. But plays very closer with oneandonly. They are a "Jedi" couple or only and only one cheater?
Please someone ivestigate...

Dear Kestas
I submit you a bug I noticed in game Brobdingnag.
I moved from Galicia to Silesia with support from Prussia and Bohemia.
Ukraine is entering in Warsaw (both Warsaw and Moscow were empty) but is has been stopped by a slatemate (!!!).
In Livonia there was a fleet going into Baltic, so the bug is: with who my army at Ukraine had a slatemate?

Can the time (24 hours) for each phase be adjusted for an specific game?

whenever i try to download the file (phpdiplomacy-075.zip) i get a compressed folder of the size 0 bytes. (which is obviously empty). do you know why, and does anyone else have this problem?

As some of you may remember, I used to play a lot of games here. Over the summer, i left the site due to the knowledge i could not keep up the required daily activities. Well, as the new academic year aproaches, I think i will be returning. Please could someone give me a list of improvements made since I left (effectively easter).
I looked through the FAQ, but all it says is a list of things that haven't been done. In the list I noticed several elements on which i have pseudocode, so Kestas: if you would like me to assist with developement, the offer is here again...

1. What does the number 143 in the parentheses that after my name mean? wawlam59 (143)

2. game 3.. Spring 1913, Diplomacy
End of phase: in 18 hours
Pot: 105 D

what does the "105 D" stand for?

Thank you!

Added some functionality that'll let me verify these constant claims of people being the same player. It'll now be easier to know for sure whether or not two people really are the same player or whether they're just cooperating closely.

However as with all quick new code there may be bugs, so let me know if you see anything unusual.

So, I created a game with a name and password. The guys I have invited to play can't find how to join the game. It is not listed on joinable games. The name of the game is "Diplomacy 2007"

Where should I tell them to look for the game?

Apparently, I just dislodged my own army. What the hell?

I saw many old games in the games list, which are still active, but only have 1 active player, for example "Diplomacy2.0". Can't you quit this games?

Why is it that sometimes when a move a unit to a territory it changes to mine, but other times I just get a coloured square around my unit?

If I attack in Autumn a unit of my own and force it to dislodge, can I disband it and build again elsewhere?

New Free for All Game

Is it possible to program the game so that when one creates a new game they can select the length of the phases?

Sorry I accidentally hit enter. So could somebody play as Germany in War Games 2 when dshinzaki goes into civil disorder? thanks, and sorry for the double post.

I anticipate dshinzaki (germany) going into Civil Disorder soon, he's been gone for 4 days.

I am sure this has been addressed before, but could not find it. When Russia builds in St. Petersburg, does he get to chose which coast he builds at? Or is it always one or the other?
Thanks.

from faq:
> Retreating fleets from coastal territories doesn't work correctly

what does this mean? doesn't work at all? unit is lost?

Join my new game: "Burn and Destroy". I'm not a veteran player(have played it some times on tabletop), but still I hope to force Europe under my reign! Mwohahaha! Does anyone accept the challenge?

This is a question, and maybe a stupid one, but if you have civil disorder people in your game, do they hold it up?

Heres a cool diplomacy variant. It's more of a game improvement than a variant. Its more historically accurate and better balanced. It be cool if we could play it online.

Italy and Austria seem to be same player- hard NOT to be paranoid on this inept site...

Is there any way to scale the map? If not it would be a cool feature, even if its just a small and large setting. (The maps a little to small on my screen, I'm running 1280 x 1024)

> Convoys are disrupted just by attacking them

can you fix that within 12 hours :-)

Kestas, looks like a number of games are stuck again.
