Just venting - another idea on CD's

With our endless programming resources, I think that anyone who has "left" a game or went CD (they would be the same, no?) should be unable to process a move in any other game until they rejoin and move.... and should suffer a two week "time out" in the penalty chair. :)

How do you play live non-gunboat?

I'm new to the board (but not to the game) and I played in a live gunboat game recently. At times it seemed like five minutes was barely enough to finish thinking through your orders and doublechecking them, especially if you have a lot of units. So what I want to know is, how do people play this way in non-gunboat? I don't think I could possibly keep up even two conversations and submit orders in that timeframe. Am I just slow?

Liberal Democrats

I think it is very interesting what is happening to the Liberal Democrats in the UK. Since they went into coalition government with the evil Tories, party members have been quitting in their thousands, with many apparently joining the Labour Party, which has reported the biggest influx of new members for several years. Is anyone here a Lib Dem supporter? What's your view?

Auto-disband?

Hey there-

I suspect this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the information so here goes: how come it hasn't been coded in the software to auto-disband units when there is no other choice available to the player?

iPod / moblie compatable

I would like to see the website become iPod compatible. I already know that iPods will work with the game but I would like to see a friendlier interface. Plus people being able to submit their moves on the go would be much easier and we'd have less people missing turns.

Any ideas?

American and Europe: Did We Get Kicked Out? Walked Out? Both?

I love hockey, so I go to hockey forums to have a chat--second they find out I'm American half of the Canadian fans automatically assume I think American franchises are better (they're not, by the way.) On other sites, LOTS of Euro/US bashing, on both sides, but it seems the Euros have the edge. It's like the Euros/Canada have a club, and we're not invited...or were and then got crossed off for...who? What? Why can't we be in the Western Culture Club again?

Auto-defeat for 0 SCs during a build phase

I didn't see this in the todo list - I appologize in advance if I missed it.

philcore (317 )
30 Sep 10 UTC

I don't know if this has been brought up before but here's something I've run accross several times.

it's Autumn and a player with 2 SCs just lost them both - next phase is retreats, There are 2 valid retreats so player goes to them - this phase is ok, because if one retreat is another SC, then he's still in.

In the event that he still has 0 SCs after the fall retreat, because none of his retreats were SCs, then he is dead ... period. But he still has to go through the shame of admitting he's dead to the game's logic by actually finilizing his unit placement turn: "Destroy here, Destroy there". And the other players have to wait the entire phase, when it's really something that logic can dictate at that point.

Thoughts? Criticisms?

Draugnar (0 )

It has been discussed before and the biggest criticism is that the auto orders would just sort of happen and possibly make a n00b wonder why he didn't get any orders. If we had email notifications, this might be a feasible option to implement as the email could say "you were defeated so we automatically disbanded you last remaining units." But right now, the notices only appear on the home page and could get lost if a lot of other notices happened at or around the same time.

philcore (317 )

If that's the biggest criticism, then I don't think it outweighs the positives.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )

I don't see why it is really a problem. Do people really not have the patience to simply wait one phase for the person to disband their unit?

Draugnar (0 )
30 Sep 10 UTC

@philcore - perhaps you'd like to program it? There is limited enough development resources for a private and free website and plenty of work to go around. If you aren't willing or able to do it yourself, perhaps you could hire (and pay for) a development team to do it for Kestas. If your not willing to pony up the money, then I suggest you accept things the way they are and lose the sense of entitlement.

pastoralan (100 )

@Draugnar: chill out, man. There's a todo list of things that the developers recognize as useful additions to the site. Philcore wanted to add this to the list. What's the big deal?

Draugnar (0 )
30 Sep 10 UTC

Nothing... Letting it go. I'm just tired of seeing all the suggestions here with reponses of "that's not good enough" or "it doesn't outweigh the benefits" from people who won't/can't do the work and seem to be of the mindset that this is Google or Yahoo, not a very small development project funded by an individual who does most of the work himself without any recompense.

philcore (317 )
30 Sep 10 UTC

@Draugnar - wow, what a dickish response! Are we not allowed to suggest improvements? I wasn't being a dick about the sugestion, why do you have to be one in response to it? Do you do that about any sugestion? Have you become a callous developer because of your own career? Cause I still welcome suggestions on my software. I'm certainly not an asshole to the users when they sugest something new. In the last 2 years there have been MANY improvements to the site. I guess I was just hoping this would have been one of them.

I don't really give a shit how "tired" you are of hearing it - if someone asks tactfully, respond tactfully. Save your bitchiness for those who lack tact in their sugestions.

Draugnar (0 )

You're right philcore. I apologize for the bitchy response. I read a sense of entitlement that wasn't intended there. Sorry, dude.

philcore (317 )
30 Sep 10 UTC

that's cool. Apology accepted. I appologize for going a little overboard with my indignation at your response ;-)

by the way, I was kidding about not knowing if this had been brought up before. 2 years ago, I posted this same question, and then you seemed to agree with me - as did figlesquidge, by the way. I actually copied and pasted my original question in my opeining remarks, just because I think I'm funny sometimes.

threadID=351885

And another by the way ... I absolutely LOVE the fact that I can see all of my old posts, that was a hell of an enhancement to the site since I took my little 2 year vacation from Dip

I still do agree. It just doesn't have the priority to Kestas as other features.

Live game IM group

Those of you that play live games probably realise that the system for setting them up isn't perfect. There are often 7 players up for a game who don't quite overlap or miss games that have been started. When you do get a game started, it's not uncommon to get a CD, and it seems to attract the occasional cheater as well.
