Can someone explain what just happened?
New to the site, and I'm having some trouble interpreting the symbols/rules. I'm *NOT* looking for advice, just an explanation of what happened.

Question About Retreating
I have a question regarding the rules of retreating. I'm new to this game and I didn't venture to read all of the threads, so I'm sorry if this topic was already reviewed.

Question for Programmers
Im making an array, and I insert a value at a point in the array, and any unused area is assigned a zero. eg [7,3] and each previous cell gets a zero. My question is how do i write a method that deletes the excess zeros, but keeps the value. Later on, ill have to have it delete zeros when i have information in the first, third, seventh cell etc, and the rest are filled with zeros.

HEY JACKASS, VOTE DRAW
In case you missed it the first couple times. You cannot advance past the stalemate line, you're not doing anything to try, so stop dragging the game out and vote draw. For the bystanders: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=40053#gamePanel

Bug?
In this game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=39585) Oz retreated a fleet from Dumont dUrville to Vostok (in spring 2003, retreats). It seems like a bug to me, but please enlighten me...

Signaling in gunboat games?
Can someone please explain any standard conventions that exist for signaling in gunboat games? Like...I think ordering a support hold to someone else's unit must mean something, but I'm not sure what.

Moves saved or ready
Hi, another newby question. If you have moves saved but not ready when the movement phase ends, will these moves be implemented, or will you be treated as having not entered any moves?

Is there any help page that explains how the webdiplomacy interface works, as opposed to the rules of the game? All I can find are the FAQ, the introduction, and the rulebook, none of which provide many details of this.

Live Games Tonight
Is there any interest in a high-ish pot live gunboat tonight? I'd set up a game and make it password protected. I'm thinking maybe 50 yen buy-in. Reply or message if this interests you.

What did I do wrong on this math problem?
I'm trying to find the equation of a parabola by using 3 of its points. The points are (1,6) (3,26) and (-2,21). I'm trying to find the form y=ax^2+bx+c. I worked out a to be 2.5, but the book says it is 3. You can find my work inside.

I am REALLY Losing Faith...
I am rapidly lost my faith in democracy--living through it the last decade plus, from the last couple disgraceful years of Clinton to Bush II's Regime to Obama's Bust (AND Ahnuld and our near-last education, jobs, etc. in CAL) right here in my home state, I now think maybe Plato was right...and Hobbes...I'm not advocating for "1984" or an Emperor or Reich here, but...well, all this bickering and I see FAR more hurt and waste than good...discuss?

If you've never lost a chess match, you probably haven't been playing against the right players.

When I was 10 years old I discovered Yahoo Chess. I would go into the pro area and play random games and utterly destroy people. I retract my statement though, I've never lost to a human. The WoW chess addon kicks my ass all the god damn time. @Acmac10, it took me long enough, been here for over a year and am just now getting a fan base. Unless Figle counts as a fan base, he's my #1.

I feel a public forum chess match coming on... Iceray0 vs. the entire forum.

How about it, Iceray? Feel like trying to beat the collective skills of this forum?

Given some of the moves from our last Forum game, I'd say we should stick a couple people with iceray. That will really give him a challenge!

You know the guy that beat 200+ people in checkers in like 3 hours? He has nothing on me. I won't do an entire forum thing because the last one was retarded as hell with people making dumb shit moves to fuck over the people actually playing.

So choose a forum opponent and, if s/he accepts, play them here for all to see. I'll tell you now, I do *not* accept cause I'm a mediocre chess player at best.

I played two chess matches today already, I won in about 25 moves in the first and the second went 40 moves without anyone taking a piece. Epic.

Draug I wanted to play you too. Looks like I'll have to find someone else. Who is interested, for starters.
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Oct 10 UTC
As I said, I'm a mediocre chess player at best and haven't played seriously in more than 25 years. Conflict simulation is more my forte. Games like Dip and the old AH games like Panzer Blitz and Panzer General.
@Iceray: I'm interested, although I'm sure I'll lose (unless you're lying about your chess skills).

@Draug,

What did you think of Panzer Blitz? My friends and I tried it once and it was awful. I don't know if we were playing wrong (most complicated rules ever) or what. Our artillery could never hit anything, cause we didn't have enough scouts. The Germans could just block the Russians by blowing things up. And you could move so much further than you could shoot. Awful, awful.

I was taught by someone who already knew the rules, so I got hooked on it. But I prefer the SSI "General" series of PC games loosely based on the AH games better because you know the relative strengths, ranges, and accuracy, but don't have to worry about the details. I'm that way with "Starship Battles." The PC version ("Starfleet Command" ) lets you refocus on the pleasure and not the calculations. And the space combat in "Star Trek Online" is very similar.
