While looking through the previous games of a player I found this game, http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3197.

If you look at it, all participants in the game besides the winner just happen to have only played that single game. Somehow I'm guessing that this isn't coincidence.

I set up a political/general discussion forum for phpDiplomacy players. It's entirely unofficial; feel free to join. Even pitirre will be allowed to participate. It's split between moderated and unmoderated forums.

If Kestas has a problem with the board, it might just disappear without notice. Beware.

I click on the log off button and it returns me to the same screen where I am still logged in. I don't want everyone to think I have been on here 24 hours a day recently. The problem is probably on my end, so I will just see if it goes away.

.... new variant with standard rules but severe restrictions on press unless you're within "touching"distance on another nation.

Before we get too far into this....

Can Kestas please confirm that there are, in fact, seven participants?
It looks just a little bit suspicious to me....

what do people think about these ideas for the forum.

Hi,

I would like to ask if losing an army suddenly in one turn is a known bug. I'm Italy in the game "just a game 5" and my newly built army in Rome suddenly disappeared... Can anyone help?

Thanks.

This is a draw request on behalf of Germany, Russia, Turkey, and myself(as Austria). France Britain and Italy are controlled by a metagamer. For one, the accounts controlling France and Britain only play in games together, and form strong alliances, and never stab eachother. This in itself is not proof! However, on two separate occasions, those two players were caught with loggin times within ten minutes. What's more is that the metagamer created a new account to take over for Italy, who was in civil disorder! The last time I checked this new profile, It was in two games; the one I am talking about, and a game which was yet to start, and also included the accounts controlling France and Britain in the first game. If it can be proven that these players are metagamers, the rest of the players would like a draw between the remaining players, and if possible, the eliminated player, who controls Germany.

congrats to the team RUS/AUST/ENG. they left the rest of us in the dust.
could the remaining players please confirm the (technical) draw so we can close the game
thanks.
Germany (or now know as the semi autonomous region city state of kiel) confirms.

Dear Kestas, there have been two consecutive bugs in my games:

1) in " hidden team variant", I put in an order for MAO to Brest, but it moved me to North Africa.

2) In "the fall of Gondolin", I attempted to convoy an army from Ankara to Rumania- there was no resistance or anything, but the arrows on the screen show me moving to sevastopol and then bouncing with an imaginary unit.

I would appreciate it greatly if you could look into this. Thanks Kestas.

Just made a new game called DMZ. Only 35 to buy in, and you get to play with yours truly! It'll be a blast.

I'm looking for some good reading on Napoleon's military campaigns. I guess I could browse Wikipedia until my eyes fall out, but I'd rather read something well-written and on solid paper. Any recommendations?

The 4 remaining powers in Catch 18 have come to a stalemate and request a draw. Game ID 3336.

All Or Nothing has just ended and was a big success. Anyone wanting to try a Winner Takes All game, or is ready to participate in another should take a look at it. It's only 6 points so JOIN NOW!!!

i heard that pitirre got banned because CIA asked kestas to do so. apparently he brought to the public some evidence about US experimenting on puerto rico citizens, and CIA was not pleased

Just wondering where Keeper0018 is... he hasn't been finalising and stuff for his games for some time now

What is the general consensus? And if there is, must it be carbon based? I vote, that there IS life out there, and that it need not necessarily be a carbon based life form

"The new one" and "The 2nd one", choose one or play both.

The final of the tournment is about to start, and what would it be if you weren't there, especially Abab who won both his games!
If anyone can get their attention to the game that would be great

I dont have anything agaisnt the US citizens but i sure have a problem with thier goverment. Not only of their illegal interventions in another countries which has ended in millions of lifes wasted ... but im from Puerto Rico and from more 100 years the US goverment has kept us in a colonial status and if that is not enough the US goverment has killed, experimented, persecution, abuse and torture many of puerto ricans in the island... sometimes for political reasons and sometimes because they just can.

I think many US citizens SHOULD participate more and be more educated on how their goverment behave... because if you dont care how irresponsible they act on your country that is your problem BUT the reality is that your goverment loves to intervene in other countries affairs,many dies and many times is for the most selfish reasons... and then you have the face to question why many countries on the world dislike your goverment and why bad things happen to you from time to time.
be more responsible because sadly the world suffers from your lack of political interest.

Seriously guys, what is going on? I feel like this forum has devolved into an orgy of anti-Americanism. Criticize my country all you want, I'm not going to argue with your right to, but this has become ridiculous.

I feel like I'm being belittled for defending my country. It's sad really.

piterre has been banned, yes, and an austrian player is needed for a competitive game here. you start out with like 10 SCs:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3167#orders

at this point even I'm annoyed with all the anti-US threads, so you know it's bad.

So I thought I would get a dialouge going about military history

Is it for real? Is it a catastrophe? Or is it just another standard periodic warming of the Earth as happens every few hundred thousand years?

Can we do anything about it? Is there any point? Are all our individual efforts just tokenism? Is there really any prospect of the whole world (including China, India, Brazil) reducing emissions by the levels required to make a difference?

The surviving players of game All Or Nothing would like to concede to Austria. They will post to confirm this.
