Ask Madmarx or MarekP to join one of your games and see what happens: That will test B.

point B is common. Ask Marx... I've seen diplomacy to the effect of "He's one of the best players in the game, lets knock him out quick!"

This is why I support an enhancement that takes usernames out of games... so you don't know who you are up against, nor their points. Makes for a fairer game.

Have you asked them if they know each other in real life? Often times, they won't lie about it.

Sometimes, people do gang up on players because of points. If you feel this is the problem, you can try to use diplomacy to use your higher points to your advantage. You could also join games with more skilled players.

If you're concerned about multiaccounting, send a message to one of the mods and ask them to check. But, try to be reasonably sure so as not to waste their time.

Some days ago someone gave me the link to a diplomacy site with same model we used to have here, before 0,9.
It's a korean site I think and they have, besides different maps, anonimous games.

It could be used here. Is it planned?

I don't remember the link but I'll find it.

dip.xbsd.kr

anyone heard of it?

Yes. There's an entire thread about it. It's an offshoot. Hopefully Kestas will take some of their code.

I guess i missed that thread

they have 5 min phase games...quite good for live games

Oh, and where do you go to send messages to mods if you do want to run a check?

looks like an interesting site,
I like the timer.

I assume the game you are referring to is this: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=13093
I am sure a mod will take a look, but looking from the outside I don't really see the others ganging up on you. You lost your SCs mostly to Germany, and to be honest I think that this was mostly the result of your mistake: given his moves in Spring 1901, you should have organised a better defence.

Because of B (I believe)...
I had about 130 in the beginning of the game... then I finished several games, which brought me up to around 300, and then everyone betrayed me.

I think it had some psychological effect of awesomeness.
jk about the awesomeness but serious about everything else

C clearly defines multiaccounting, but only if you have proof to back that up. same with A.

Multiaccounting is where you have more than one account. Simple as that.

Normally its quite easy to tell when somebody is a multi.

Sorry, I was thinking metagaming.
oops
but still

I was Germany Dario. There's just things that don't seem right in this game.

1. France gets just enough units to make a wall so only a country with a well-developed navy can take it.
2. You're telling me that both Austria and Russia decide to ignore the Balkans, allowing Turkey to make his impractical journey to Spain?
3. Austria only goes for Italy, ignoring absolutely everybody else. It manages to support Russia into Munich the only time it interacts with others though.
4. England decides to help me (Germany) take Norway from Russia one turn. He helps me defend it. He then decides to support Russia right back in. I know, the game is all about alliances and the constant changing of them, but come on...

Sure, all these things could happen in a game, but all of this at the same time just seems so...wrong is the only word.

Obviously, we are not privy to any of the press you are receiving or sending, but from the outside it looks like the rest of you are just dancing to the Juggernaut tune -- and R/T is playing the music.

You're just the first to go, imo. The first of five.

Russia told me he was going for the juggernaut strategy. Austria isn't talking. The rest just stopped talking to me altogether after a message or two.

Sorry, I meant "mostly to Russia".
What I see in this game is a Juggernaut in action, and other players failing to oppose it. Russia took your SCs with minimum support from other players, and your moves are at least as strange as those of other powers:
- why did you move Den-Skagerrac in Autumn 1901? You gave up one build without gaining anything in terms of position.
- following Russia's attack in Autumn 1901, in Spring 1902 you moved Berlin-Baltic, allowing Russia to take Berlin. Before this move, you would have still been able to organise a serious defence.

After these two mistakes, you would have needed a miracle to survive. Following that, in Autumn 1903, with your home centres menaced by both Russia and England, you used your fleet in Baltic to convoy from Kiel to Livonia, thus leaving your whole country defenceless and allowing Russia to take your last SCs.

Sorry if my comments seem blunt, but I think the best you can do is learn from your errors in this game, and do better in the next one. :)

D.

I knew that those were mistakes. I was going to rely on support from England, but he did his stab like I said.

That fleet in the Baltic could've been a good support unit I was thinking.

I knew I was running on a gamble, and it could've worked, but unfortunately not.

Okay, sorry to bring this back, but wtf?

As soon as I'm taken down by Russia, who's winning the game now, he leaves.

France messes with me, makes a wall, and leaves. Russia takes me over, and leaves. One more messed up thing to add to that game.
