Power choices
napthali has developed a feature which has been requested for a long time back, which could let people get their favorite powers more often. Aside from checking the code and merging it in all that remains is testing, but before merging it in I'd like to hear everyone's take on it, so there are no nasty shocks when the code is merged in.

If you could register test games and test accounts etc at http://cynicalpanda.com/dip/ , and let us know how you find it, I'd be interested to hear feedback.

Remember it's a test installation, so you're not committing to games created and you can create multiple accounts.

To be clear, I don't think the preference system should be implemented for all games, I do like the idea of still playing in truly random games, but the option to play in games where you have a preference, I think is a valuable one.

to be clear, it's planned to be implemented here?

@Sicarius I think it's a proposal, but isn't a sure thing or anything like that.

I think the main bonus to this feature is avoiding countries you have played alot recently or playing ones that you haven't in a long time. My favourite country is italy, but I'd rather play each power in each of the seven games then italy is all seven. Its just more exciting that way. Once again guys, austria 5 times in a row. I don't hate austria, but If i get it one more time...

Was just looking over the test site again. One suggestion: maybe find a way to make the bit that says "power choice game" in the join-able games list a bit more obvious. Someone scanning over the games could pretty easily scan over it, Maybe making those words bold or colored or something, so it really stands out, and people don't accidentally join a power-choice game when they don't want to.
Well said Centurian. I think "power choice" games will be perfect for you because you can play Italy as often as you want. :-)
@kestasjk:
That's an elegantly simple implementation of the "even out" random game allocation. However, early on a player will only have countries which they have played either never, or only once. How does the code determine which order to put the tied countries? Will it randomize it?
kestasjk (95 DMod(P))

Yup tied countries would be randomized to try and stick as closely as possible to the rules. But it seems like this feature wouldn't remove the demand for power choices like I had hoped, so that's probably off the cards

Kestas,

I know... and I might have a look at it eventually... I'm just not the greatest PHP guy out there. I know SQL pretty well though.

Anyways, I like the feature and I like that there's development. Good points for you!

Is this a draw? Your opinion is needed.
Please, take a look at the game NFL Fans:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4874

France states the game is a draw as it is, while Russia and Turkey want France to remove the only Italian unit in Tunis at least before the draw is declared. Who is right?

Freaking Idiots
Hey kestas, in the game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5119 figer_Buenos_Aires has come to the conclusion that Azzaron and fenriz are the same person, before this gets way out of hand will you or someone else look into this.

Note : I am not accusing them, really I just would like to shut Figer_Buenos_Aires up. Thanks in advance.

Retreating to supply units
One more quick question, but can a unit retreat to a supply unit area, or can it only retreat to an area which has no supply unit spot (assuming there is no unit already there of course).

There's nothing like a win...
I'm just wrapping up one of my biggest wins yet, and it was a game where I took over a CD country in a moderately good position. I figured I could just do this and not go through too much of the risk of the openings.

Although, now I'm in a new game, it's great to be back in the 1901 style diplomacy.

I am just interested to know what people's thoughts are on New vs. CD?

A further update on the leagues
There are now six further places in the leagues available. Entries should be in by 29th September. All entries should be made via e-mail to me, using the address in my profile, and include your phpdiplomacy name.

There shall be five games in the season, which will begin in the second week of September. The point scoring is based on winner takes all, with SC count used as a tie-breaker in the case of equal points.

We shall begin with groups of equal ability for the first season. The seven most successful players will enter the Premier league in the second season, the next seven League A, the next seven League B and so on. From hereon, there shall be two players going up each season and two going down.

Pitirre
I seem to remember a player that was banned around the time I joined by the name of pitirre. I don't remember much about the situation, as I was not very involved in the forum at that time, but while browsing the joinable games I saw an account by the name of el_pitirre. I'm not sure if this is important of not, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

PHP didn't take orders
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5220

I placed order at least 15 minutes before the deadline and verified them line by line and continued to refresh up until the turn deadline.

When the turn ended, this site ended up with only half off them.

I know this is probably something you hear often and it is not intended as a gripe, but a request to check this out. This ended any chance I had of surviving in the game. since two of the players against me didn't show any orders up to the deadline and were relying on updates and not finalized orders.
