Utopia
Thomas Moore's book (which I am about to start reading) represents what is in his view, a Utopian society. Given this book was written almost 500 years ago, there is no doubt that Moore's ideas are outdated and maybe in some case perceived as unethical in our society.

Sp, my question for all would be, say you were the author of Utopia, what would be the setting of your book?

How to make and keep alliances
I am wondering what people feel are the best ways to make and keep alliances. Seeing as they are almost necessary to win, i want to know some experienced players' advice and tips on them.

Iceland...
Iceland is not in its proper position on the WebDiplomacy map (meaning that it is not that close to England in actuality), so why would it even be included on the map if it serves no other purpose. WHY IS IT THERE?

Annoying Player Help
A friend of mine playing web diplomacy told me he had a player called King Atom in his game, but feels the player is very annoying and wants help dealing with the problem. Is there any way to kick a player out of a game or block them from joining a public game for future reference.

Okay.... please never do this kind of thing on the forum again, both of you. Draugnar I've docked you 25 D because you made a cheating accusation in the forum. You all were doing so well there for a bit.

How does point-docking work for people with less than 100 total points? Not that it matters to Draugnar and Diplomat33, I just wonder.
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
Yeah, I have more than 100 total, just most of them are tied up in games.
Draugnar (0 DX)

And I guess my initial question was a veiled accusation, so I deserved that. But you have to admit the accusation seemed to get a quicker response.

If you're trying to teach the game one on one, you mighr want to try our sister site vdiplomacy.com which has a lot of 1v1 variants, including ones on the classic map.
Hang on, Draugnar, are you saying that if someone has muted you, it tells you when you attempt to send them a PM? (This is extremely important)

"i just lost the points, and i dont get them back. seems there is an exception to the not going under 100 rule."

Yes there is an exception. Apparently if you have the word diplomat in your name you don't get your points back. Its a programming quirk. They nave been meaning to fix it but I guess they haven't got around to it yet.

are you just making this up, as i suspect, and if it is the case that it is real i want the error fixed
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Sep 11 UTC
You get reimbursed once *all* your games are finished. Otherwise no one would ever drop below 100 -- and you can see that you are not the only one. So yes I was joking about your name.
The idea is to stop players joining more games than they can handle, I believe.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
13 Sep 11 UTC
i know, but it says i have only 82 D because i got 25 taken away from me by a mod
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Sep 11 UTC
Actually you get reimbursed when a game ends and your total is below 100. But a game has to end or you get eliminated to trigger the routine that refills you.
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Sep 11 UTC
Regardless, you will not be reimbursed until all your games are finished. Fines have nothing to do with it. You can drop below 100 total points (indeed all new players do as soon as they join their first game).
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
13 Sep 11 UTC
yes, that happened to me. but i dont get the points taken from me by the mod nor do you
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Sep 11 UTC
Really Draug? I did not realize that. Has that always been the case? I thought you had to finish all your games? (I have never been reimbursed)
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
13 Sep 11 UTC
it only happens if you would go below 100 D, and you are at 299
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Sep 11 UTC
If this is true... And I don't doubt it... I need to change my investment strategy. I should invest all my points in a couple of games (I never play more than three at once)
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
13 Sep 11 UTC
ah, but it only works if you have 100 or less points in play, so if you loose 2 and win one making you slightly over 100 then you just lost 2/3 of your points
spyman (424 D(G))
13 Sep 11 UTC
Well if I bet 99 per game and lose two but win one I get 891 D.
I need to cut loose a little I think. If. Only I had time to play a game at the moment. Soon I will get back into it.
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Sep 11 UTC
The only way to get a refill is if your *total* points (not available points) is below 100 D. I'm at 38 D available, but my total is 462 D so those 25 D will stay lost and I'm fine with that.
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Sep 11 UTC
In diplomat33's case,he has 82 total points. Then next game he ends will see him restored to 100 total points by adding 18 to his available and total count, unless he wins or draws (or survives in PPSC) with more than 18 D awarded for the game, then he just gets the points he earned.

Games paused?
I may have missed the thread on this, but is there any way for a mod to now unpause the games that have been put on pause since the glitch has happened at least 24 hours ago? In world games where there are a fair few who have already CDed, it would be great to get moving!

A lot of people who are asshats online use the excuse that IRL they are real good people. Why is this considered a valid excuse? Is it because of the perceived anonymity of the web, like road rage? If you wouldn't call someone a faggot IRL, why would you do it here?

Guessing game
So I got home from one social event, few beers were unlucky enough to meet my stomach and so on. Then I got hungry and fried me 7 late-night eggs. The problem was I forgot I wasn't supposed to feed the whole family as usually but only myself, yet I used the same amount of oil and butter. The eggs literally swam in grease. Of course I ate them, I'm a pig/scrooge, but what will my intestines say? To find out whether there is any consensus on this complicated subject, I propose a guessing game.

How common is soloing without backstabbing?
I've been in the endgame a few times with a strong position, but I hate the idea of turning on someone I've been working with since turn 1. It just... it's a terrible bad vibe, y'know? You have a good time playing together for a couple hours, coordinating, etc, I don't want to stab after that.

Other players might make poor tactical moves or fight at bad times, but how common is solo-winning based on that? Are people who try to not stab their allies consigned to lots of draws?

Just wanted everybody to know i have just won my first game here. I'm happy and was actually thinking of doing an AAR, but perhaps that is going just a tad too far? I don't know, is that the done thing? You tell me.
Oh, game ID#66745.
Was a close run thing for a little while, bugger England hit me hard, but luckily didn't land the knock-out punch. He's licking his wounds now.
