Extortion
So, do you think extortion can work as a tactic in Diplomacy? If so, in what circumstances?

Personally I don't think it'll work unless they're on their last legs, and even then only if you phrase it as "do this, and I'll keep you alive" type thing.

CD confusion
Say there is an anonymous game, and in it a player CD's. someone then takes over that nation, and the game ends, and reveals 1 players name. I am assuming that that is the latter players name, is there anyway to find out the player who CD'ed's name?

Obama Lashes Back At The GOP--Accidentally Leaked!

And I'd be lying if I didn't respond to that by saying--even if that WAS unintentionally leaked...ITS ABOUT TIME he lashed out like this and showed some fire to match the GOP's rhetoric!

Diplomacy’s ‘Internal Game Programming’
Why is it that part of Diplomacy’s ‘internal game programming’ doesn’t consists of language that if it should be that not every player puts in orders for Spring 1901 the game is auto cancelled?

1. Shut up you tools I shouldnt be forced to take a loss that was caused by a multi so this is my last ditch effort to ensure i dont
2. I tried everything else to get this done, E-mail, private messaging, but i couldnt get ahold of a mod so im doing this
3. Cancel the game or at least pause it pending an investigation

And why were you unable to make this thread just asking me to check my PM?
would the difference have mattered? I figured you just wern;t checking after I read your signature
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
Also, it's late and telling a volunteer that they suck is unlikely to get the desired result. Keep that in mind, as it's a good life lesson irl as well.
you suck
j/k of course. Unless that game is allowed to continue
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
I am attending to it now. However, please consider this your final warning: if you post cheating accusations on the site again, I will dock points from you.
can i dock points from you when you don't check the e-mail and PMs?
;)

No problem. And, I'm serious about docking points. This is the second time you've found it appropriate to break the rules to suite your needs.

I love how people expect the *volunteer* mods to be online at all times, and expect them to immediately respond to their emails. /sigh
I love how Tom Bombadil with no knowledge of the case jumps in here and criticizes someone /sigh

I contacted an online mod and send an E-mail waiting for 30 minites, I then put this up to avoid a loss i didnt deserve, next time ill just post dor the mod to check his PM as suggested. But all the jaded bullshit has got to go, especially from someone who has no knowledge of the case
JEccles (421 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
amen Tom. I've never had a problem with waiting for the issue to be resolved, as I am currently still waiting on one to be resolved. Some people need to realize that it's A) not the end of the world, B) they aren't entitled to everything on this planet just because they breathe and think they are, and C) mods are people too, and have lives outside the game even if the other person doesn't. Thanks.

30 minutes? wow, I'm glad to see you've been working on patience.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
I don't have to have knowledge of the case. Your still breaking the rules of the site. I don't much see what I am missing.

And I maintain that you still wrongfully expected an immediate response to your issue.
jesus christ you people are hopeless, go give each other hand jobs while dreaming about the next borderline breach of forum etiquette you can comment on

14 Apr 11 UTC
agreed. again, feeling entitled to a direct response from another human being with another life at a possibly late hour of the night/morning for them that they are volunteering to run a site for a game you enjoy.
I actually didnt expect an immediate response, but I felt i had to try, which i did. Next time as I said Ill post reminding the mod to check his PM, which i dont see how its any different
JEccles (421 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
this more than forum etiquette Santa, this is respect for someone else's life outside the game and the fact that you have absolutely no patience, or regard for that matter of the fact that other people have lives other than yourself, and you expect someone to be there to wait on you hand and foot all the time just so you don't lose some points on a web game that doesn't change a thing in real life. sorry, but that's pathetic.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
Ok. I can handle that. Its different because its not public ally accusing someone.
THERE WAS NO PATIENCE. THE GAME WAS ENDING. I NEEDED TO TRY TO GET SOMEONE BEFORE THE GAME ENDED. I HAD TO TRY.
JEccles (421 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
I hate it when I get through and post something and then there's already been a response that would have changed what I was saying, but I can't delete or anything lol
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
Also, when you said I sucked, it hurt my feelings : (
I waited 45 minutes before i posted this, in a 5 minute game id say thats patience
JEccles (421 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
I can understand that, and I agree with Tom about not publicly accusing this or that country and what not, props there. Circumstances were interesting there, kinda tough situation. I'm just curious, in this situation can MOD's go back in after a game has ended and change the outcome or restart the game based on evidence gathered after the game has ended?
I never said you sucked, I said the mods suck, and that had more to do with the fact that I always seem to get it on the chin from the mods with no assistance when i need it, that changed tonight, thank you.

@JE

Our policy is to not alter finished games. There are a number of reasons for this, including messing up rankings & points, and being an impossible amount of work for the mods.
JEccles (421 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
ah, alright I got ya. Thanks for clearing that up, I'd never considered if a game was ending like that and you found something out lol.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
14 Apr 11 UTC
Unfortunately, the reality is that if it is a live game it will almost never be sorted out before the game is over. However, with around 23,000 finished games, it's simply impossible to have a policy that would require us to modify them. Plus, we certainly could never restart a live game because we could never force people to rejoin the game.

If a game had cheats, and the game had ended, could u not ban the cheats and just divide the starting players, minus the cheats? Eg 2 players cheat. Ban them
Then, divide the pot say 20x7 divided by 5? least then people who don't cheat don't get the bad end of a stick cos of some loser cheat?

I would prefer the game to be cancelled if it was found afterwards to contain multis. Just my two cents.

14 Apr 11 UTC
abgemacht +1. Dock his points the next time he does this. This is wildly inappropriate.
☺ (1304 D)
14 Apr 11 UTC
And @ Santa:

If it's ok for you to break the rules because you don't want a loss, why isn't it ok for the multi to break the rules because he does want a win?
Isn't that fairly riduclous?
I mean just because one person drinks and drives, doesn't mean that everyone else go on killing sprees. I suppose the people who multi are breaking the rules at a higher level

Okay okay everyone just... chill.

Lol.

This is just a game at the end of the day. And the only the goings-on of this site affects in your day-to-day is well... the goings-on of this site.

So... maybe just relax a tidbit. Try to have some fun... maybe read some jokes, tool around on knowyourmeme or something. Porn is a possibility.

Tl;dr if you are stressed on the internet, go to a unstressful website and forget about... because at the end of the day its the intnernet.

Resigning could mean winning?
I've got a question. We're playing a game in which there's only three of us still alive. But one has already resigned so I was talking with the other player in order to settle a draw between me and him so my question is.....is the one who has resigned going to share the win with us (as before resigning he was smart enough to hit the draw button)? Because, as it is said in the rules, the draw means that the win is shared among ALL the survivors.
