meant to hit view game... Any way I can backtrack and get my 5 points back?

There is a new game I've created. The title is JOIN.

Hope to see you there. :)

i think thats the name. i forget. anyways, join it if ur kind of noobish, or just want to have fun

Starting a new game. Come one come all! 12 pts.

how do i read the messages that the map covers up

Would it be possible to include on the map stalemales? That way its easier to spot whos hostile to one another.. or at least give a better picture.

Example.. Sevastopol ---- Black Sea... Stalemale because of Ankara Black Sea... So you add a little icon on the map of a clash(explosion?) and arrows showing where the armies came from...

Thanks.

great site btw.

haha just realized that the seas were all connected, actually wanted to try from St.P but it'll take too long to move the units there.

Is it impossible to support convoys at the destination, in the water, or both?

i want to start a new game with some honor rules . how about a world war one game? like the 2 person diplomacy. one team (3 players) will play germany, turkey and austria. the other team will play UK,france and russia. honour rules- no infighting in your team. no chatting to the enemy. no italy (left in cd) - 6 players only. first team to wipe out the other ends on a draw. but this is only a rough sketch ya, any suggestions welcome. anyone interested? if so plz post and i will start the game and post a password here.

Quick question. I didn't see mention of it in the intro, but...

When a country is forced to retreat, can it retreat to any open territory next to it? Or can you only retreat to friendly territory? I haven't encountered this situation yet, and it has bearing on my current game...

Hi All the rules at avalon hill state
If a fleet is ordered to one of these provinces and it is possible for the fleet to move to either coast, the order must specify which coast, or the fleet does not move.

While moving from portugal to spain i cant see any option to specify the coast line.

the game is a private game "ragnarok2". after my move, the auto game master declared that i cut the only support from rome onto naples...and declared my support of tyr's attack on naples from the ionian sea was successful, yet it said that tyr was kept out of naples because they were evenly matched. i think this is an error. what can i do?

100 point game, please join =)

hey, whats the longest a game has gone on in this site?
whats the longest convoy you have done? has turkey ever conquered england or visa versa ?largest pot game ever played on this site? ok enough work calls.

I know about the retreat problems from double coasted areas. But what about this: I move a fleet from Mid-Atlantic to Spain. Keep in mind I had just come from Spain (SC) and was headed to North Coast Spain. Now, I was never asked to which coast the fleet should go, and I didn't think about it until the move was finalized, and to my dismay I saw it had travelled back to the south coast, basically undoing my last move. I'm not positive I wasn't asked though... just 95% positive. Or maybe it's that Mid-Atlantic doesn't acces NC Spain? It sure doesn't look like it but I'll accept that explanation.

Hey guys -

Although it's hard for me to do, I swore to myself (New Year's Resolution #4) that I wouldn't play any more phpDip until a couple things were changed:

(1) Errors in adjudication fixed (e.g., ability to support convoys)

(2) Phase time limit determined by game creator at the start of the game (e.g., 24, 48, 72 hrs, etc.)

Any thoughts on when these changes might be done?

For those of you who apply

i am requesting a draw for BigBetters

Is anyone else worrying that the site seems to be entering one of it's slower periods again?

but what exactly does civil disorder mean?

and..how does it come about/occur?

In the first game (started by Sean) are you allowing countries to pass through Italy, such as the Piedmont & Tyrolia, or is Italy off bounds for the whole game?

Need to know: would like to have the same rules for both games and get a comparison at the end.

Also, winning conditions - total anihalation of the enemy, or an agreed total of SCs - reduced to take account of the non-playing Italy?

Right now, we have Italy set up to just finalise and stay out of cd, but no self-supporting or moving. We also have no movement through Italy.

Thanks...

100 point bid, please join.

now that a game is coming to an end another newbie question is needed...how do you call it a draw

I have a fleet at southern coast of spain that was removed. Why can't retreat to Gulf of Lyons? It should be connected, it's not a stalemate zone, and there's no unit there.. ?

What do you think of a punishment for the drop off on phpdiplomacy ?

High drop off rates makes the online Dip games less enjoyable and acceptable. So many games and good moods ruined by CDs. The drop off rate should be reduced to the minium.

Could we restrict the times a player could went into CD during a fixed time period?
For instance, no more than 1 time every three months, 3 times a year.
Or there would be a 20% points punishment for the one who went into CD.

Besides, could we make the times a player went into CD viewable to others so that it would help us to decide if we would like to join a waiting game where there are CD lovers.

Just an idea.

I've made a private game but my friends can not get into it...they have exactly enough points but cannot see the game on viewable games...is this a glitch or something else?

Kestas could you set STA game to a draw please. I'm France and Germany should be along to confirm the draw later. http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2382

after the super 50-pointer comes the smaller 19-pointer...
fun to play, just join.
