Technical Issues in World Diplomacy Game
In http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=47406 it appears that the convoy feature is broken. Of the 4 players left in the game, 3 of us encounter errors when we try to submit orders to convoy a unit and are unable to access the feature.

Is there a way to repair this without breaking the game?

Explain why these moves work
Germany: F Sweden to Norway, A STP S F Sweden to Norway, F GoB to Sweden.
England: F Norway to Sweden (fail) (dislodged)

There was other stuff happening too, but the relevant question is: why did GoB succeed in getting to Sweden if Norway was going there too?

Jumbo and Memilio BANNED
Thank you, finally! I had seen this coming ages ago and avoided his games. Trip and I had had a good private discussion about this one. He has just, presumably also been banned from a 200 D game, he was clearly building up points with Memilio, his other account.

In two of the games he couldn't even be bothered to fake movements for the other players. I don't understand why stuff like this is allowed here, it's so disappointing.

i guess so. it would help to promote clubs so people can play with trusted players. i am particularly fond of the 150c club that i was recently introduced to. eh anyways, these multis really need to go get a life.
peterwiggin (15158 D)
08 Mar 11 UTC
So I was a charter member of 150cc but I have yet to actually play a game with them :(
i want to join them, but i just had house guests for a week for all intensive purposes, and now i don't know if they are accepting members. everything in the forum moves so fast... :0
I believe the club is always looking for more people. The most WTA, non-CDing people we can get, the better games that will run.
trip (696 D(B))
08 Mar 11 UTC
150cc needs more members. Right now there's 20ish, which isn't enought to fill games regularly. It was set up for live games, but I'm quite certain you could find other members for day+ phase games too.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we should invite people we know will give a good game and get the password out there.

I just told Rancher to sign himself up, for instance.
I just bumped the thread if nothing else so... : )

idealist (680 D)
08 Mar 11 UTC
is there another way to communicate passwords and links other than the forum? like a real private online group to email us passwords (kind of like league games)

would that be a better idea?
gigantor (404 D)
08 Mar 11 UTC
Certainly PMs don't work - they get lost amongst game notifications, game invites and spam.
idealist (680 D)
08 Mar 11 UTC
ah it appears that 150c is already organized. all links will be PM to each player.

disregard my previous message then

figlesquidge (2131 D)
15 Mar 11 UTC
No worries - I know what you mean.

As noted Draug, this looked so one-sided that I couldn't see how anything I'd be told would have swayed my judgement so seemed better to clear things up sooner rather than later.

@Frank: "ancient med doesnt count for GR and i dont think it even goes on his page's stats"

It DOES count for GR, just heavily weighted against counting much. Besides, since he used fake newbie accounts, it wouldn't move him in the GR much, if at all, even if it was regular games. Remember, GR depends on wins/draws against 'quality opponents'.
Draugnar (0 DX)
15 Mar 11 UTC
Not true. 6 opponents with the default 100 D will contribute about 35 GR points per WTA classic game.
fortknox (2059 D)
15 Mar 11 UTC
beating a group of newbs 4 times should really, at best, put you on top of the newbs, and that's it....
Draugnar (0 DX)
15 Mar 11 UTC
It will net you about 105 GR points.
Draugnar (0 DX)
15 Mar 11 UTC
That's net above your base points.
Draugnar (0 DX)

I was off on my calculations done in my head on the phone earlier.

100*6*2/35 = 1200/35 = 34 D profit from game 1

If we assume the same 6 opponents..

Game 2 = (600-35)*2/35 = 32 D profit
Game 3 = (600-(35+33))*2/35 = 30 D profit
Game 4 = (600-(35+33+31))*2/35 = 28 D profit

Total profit = 34+32+30+28 =124 D

I rounded points earned down and deduction from the base up, so this is a conservative calculation.

So, assuming a noob plays this way with 7 total accounts, one account would have a GR of 224+. He would be in the top 125 of all players cheating that way.

frankfitzer in gameID=105443 is quite obviously cheating!
I would like this game cancelled and frankfitzer banned along with all those who do not follow the rules of the game and the site forum!

It is terrible that someone would register at this site and not follow forum and game rules, they just ruin the experience for everyone!

The Prince
Quotations taken from gradesaver.com....

Our friend Niccolo M. says that there are two possible power bases for a prince: the nobility, and the common people. But he goes on to say the following: “In fact the aim of the common people is more honest than that of the nobles, since the nobles want to oppress others, while the people simply want not to be oppressed.”
