"No girls allowed" -- new game with regular pot
The title is a joke for those sexist posts about whores... I have seen no girls jumping on the neck of anyone, so I assume they are very tame, or that they are not allowed...
I indeed want to exclude multis and other jerk that harm a good game. Calling "girls" to them is an insult for the fair kind. Not even "Worms" is a good name for them.
So please, enter if you want to PLAY DIPLOMACY, not just grab some easy points. There are better methods for that (as Jesuschrist has proved) that do not bother good players.

What happens when, after the fall season, a player who experienced a loss of SCs, and thus must select which unit to remove from the board, fails to submit orders in time?

How did you find us?
I can't get the ball rolling :-( but were you searching? (for what?) friend? link? forum? usenet? sourceforge?

I've posted links myself on rec.games.diplomacy, and there's a sourceforge/freshmeat project page, but I get the impression most have come from other places

Sicarius had mentioned before that he's going to the RNC to protest/harass/something related to his anarchist (i think that's the affiliation he's stated) peers.

Hi! I will do it if you please. My email in my profile.

It is not that you are intolerable, but that it is really difficult to determine if something have been decided or not. Reading *all* the posts in a thread is sometimes boring... ;-)

You shouldn't use the "media brainwashing" slogan to prove a point about freethinking, It's tired and unoriginal.

If anarchists come together as a group to protest or whatever, they are collectively known as either (i) the intelligentsia or (ii) the great unwashed. Take your pick.
Ed Poon (100 D)

Oh, that should be a period between freethinking and It's. That's a typo, not a grammatical error.

Ranking system
There has been much talk about inflation and the somewhat deceptive way that players are ranked. I suggest a new ranking system. I apologize if this suggestion has been made in the past.

First, set a weight to each time of end game

3 points for wins
2 points for draws
1 point for survival
0 points for defeats

Sum = Rank points
_______________________

Second, calculate the player's point pool.

Current total + Bets placed in current games played = Point pool
______________________________________

Third, combine the Point pool and the rank points

Point Pool * Rank Points = Rank Value
________________________________

Finally, Rank Value is used to set up the rank of players. Higher value, higher rank.
______________________________________

The weights for ranking may need modification, but i think this system works pretty well. Im sure there will be much critiquing, but i welcome it. If we can design a good system, we could have a better ranking system that better indicates skill, something i think everyone wants.

I have a question about letting a game run
The three remaining players in our game have agreed to let our 12 hour turns run while I am gone. They will most likely be able to go in and place hold moves, but will mine go into CD? If after 2 turns or 3?

Is it allowed to make another user, so I could play in more games at a time (at least untill I get more points on this user)?
I won't be entering the same game with both, of course.
