new game
Even wanted to meet than man behind the myth ? new game staring the one and only kestas needs 4 more players. 101 points.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=3117

apologises to Razz for posting about the game he started on the forum and for kestas for blatantly using his name to pull in other players. in my defence its just 14 hours to go before the game starts or fails and we only have 3 so far.

cheat! Pls end no eye deer 4
as per thread by patlondon, the game no eye deer 4 is a game in which mussolini and timchau are cheating. This will mean that we lose points. Can we forcibly end it? And re distribute points bet?

I have some of my money back. But would you want to play me in another game?

I was sort of hoping I could get a 500 pointer going soon, but I need to beat you in our other game first...

Well, considering I don't have time for this game so much anymore.

As soon as I get 1200 points, I'm in one right now that could get me there, I'm going to bet it all for one game. Try to pull in all the old people I played with, who now have all these high chip totals and such.

What? I don't get an invite to Bravo7, Flash?
I think I'll start a 101 pointer just for the heck of it (too bad, Flash, you burned all your points!)
flashman (2274 D(G))
29 Feb 08 UTC
Razz...

Bravo 7 is a bank, that is all. I have a lot of points stuck in two games where players meta-gamed and resisted all attempts to stop them. I am waiting for these games to end and trying to get my stake back.

I will be happy to invite you to a game as soon as I have sorted this matter out. It looks like you have a few points to donate as well... ;)
sean (3490 D(B))
29 Feb 08 UTC
how would a bank game work_? i thought that your points returned to 100 after the LAST active game you are in ends and you have less that 100 points. is it not so_?
is it when any of your games end and your points are less than 100 you get bumped up to 100? that would encourage people to play too many games, which leads to people not talking in games and poor playing. games were people are engaged are much more enjoyable.
figlesquidge (2131 D)

Hmm, I'm not sure, but from what I read it seems to me you've managed to find a bug in the site that makes it impossible for you to loose flashman. If so, its not really in the spirit to exploit it...
flashman (2274 D(G))
29 Feb 08 UTC
I do not actually know whether it works... I am just trying.

However, my motive was a few games in which I came up against multi-accounting and metagaming - the latter in particular proving extremely resistant to all attempts at diplomacy. I entered the games in good faith and then discovered problems - not the least of which was blatant lying about the cheating. A review of previous games made clear just how closely the players helped each other...

I am hoping that when the mods arrive, cases like these will receive fair review.

Non active players
was wondering what it takes to be in the top 100 of php players. (should be of wins compared to games played but thats another story) seems to be about 500 Dpoints. was it always thus?

i noticed a lot of players didn't have active games. As there are no dates on the finished games i don't know how long ago their games were. but i was wondering what people thought of a system to slowly take away points to non active players?Nothing too drastic, i don't mean if you haven't been active in 2 or 3 months but longer, maybe after 3 months 10% of your points are taken away for every month that you remain inactive. that continues until you reach 100 points then it stops.

Just thinking it would be good to have a (maybe a side bar to the forum page of phpdip) a current list of top 100 players.

Playing in one game, CD in another
It's frustrating when someone is playing in one game but not putting in orders (nearing civil disorder) in another game. The 24-hour time frame gets old, especially when retreat and build phases are included, when you have to wait for it day after day. This method of play is ruder than going civil disorder in all of one's games.

Just venting. I realize that this won't change anything.

phpDip was offline for a while, I'm not sure how long. Just as I was posting a support ticket it came back online though.

I'm going to delay next process times by 10 hours, in case anyone missed their orders.

In case anyone was wondering if the update was being applied; when the update is applied there'll be a days warning, and a message posted to the site letting you know that the site is being updated.

No Press Tournament
We have finished one, did the other finish? i see there are quite a few No Press games going/finished recently. i saw a no.5 up and running i think. So how about we take the 7 highest unit getters of all the games finished?
but if people want to just take the best 7 from the 2 set No Press Tournament games its ok with me.

Game objectives
I know most people follow the path of
1) Don't die out
2) Don't loose
3) Win
However, in one of my games I've reached an interesting point. We are about to reach a stalemate line, with me on oneside and the other two players, who are allied, on the other. This looks like it is going to therefore me a draw. However, if one of them stabs the other, then it will not. In this situation they have said they think i would win (which is a possibility I admit). But then, even if I win, they would still take more out of it than a draw.
So, what I'm asking is do people think that a draw is a better finish than a good 2nd place?

What happened here?
In my game my move from Ionian Sea to Adriatic Sea bounced when I'm quite sure it shouldn't have. The game is at http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2906 and all of the 'GameMaster' messages relating to this turn are below. Am I just being stupid or is there really no reason for the bounce?

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Apulia successfully supported the fleet at Ionian Sea move to Adriatic Sea.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ionian Sea moving into Adriatic Sea recieved move support from the fleet at Apulia.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your army at Piedmont successfully supported the army at Venice move to Tuscany.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your army at Venice moving into Tuscany recieved move support from the army at Piedmont.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ionian Sea engaged the fleet at Adriatic Sea head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

Bugs and FAQs
As notice in FAQ secction: 'adjudicator works for the majority of moves made, but it is a simplified implementation of the official rules'.

Since I has suffer some bugs or disfuction of adjudicator (like retreating for SPA(sc), supporting convoys, some uncutted unexpected supports, etc), etc.

Is there a complete list of detected bugs/misfuctions where players can follow them and see if this bugs/misfuction are fixed?

I don't found this on 'HELP' page....

Thanks Kestas.

Abandonments
I count 9 different players in CD now, which seems a rather high number. At the same time, games with higher pots seem to be having a hard time getting off the ground. I wonder what's going on?

Hopefully the update will correct this, at least in part, by adding an abandon game option. However, I still think it would be worthwhile to analyze whether the length of time it takes to put a country into CD is too long. My sense is that it is.
