What Happened to GameMaster?
In this game, it's currently Autumn 1902, and yet on my gamemaster tab I only have one line which reads " Autumn 1902, Retreats: Nothing happened involving your units in this phase."

My previous moves from 1901 are all gone. What's up with this?

Strange Player Name
In the game Fat and Juicy Italy is in civil disorder and the name of the Italy player is "Civil Disorder Italy". Did the player specifically make an account to play as Italy and be in civil disorder all the time?

This is just weird and I'm bringing it up because it might be cheating.

Rules Question
I am just wondering what the rule is and what the outcome will be on this site if this situation were to happen:

Lets have Four Armies armies Army A, B, C and D. A and B are on the same team, C and D are on the same team.

Say A is in Trieste, B is in Budapest, C is in Vienna, and D is in Galacia.

So the situation is as follows:

Army A move Trieste - Vienna
Army B support move Triest - Vienna

So there is an attack of strength two on Vienna.

Army C move Vienna - Bohemia
Army D support Hold in Vienna.

Say Army C were to have a stalemate in Bohemia, and so comes back to Vienna. Now is there a stalemate in Vienna, since they are both strength two, OR does the support hold order become void, and Army C is forced to retreat?

Any help is appreciated.

Unreliable players - name names?
Do the experienced players on this site have an appetite for a thread that names names of players who
-have abandoned when the going got tough
-haven't fought right to the bitter end
-don't finalize their moves in a timely fashion

I think the bugs on the site aren't a big deal, as long as you know what they are. But the potentially fatal flaws in this site are the absence of a abandon game option, the number of moves before an abandoned country goes into cd, and the length of time to wait for retreats when there's no place to go.

support move means you support a unit which is moving, not support a hold AND move.

Support move to Kiel from Holland.

That means your army at Kiel will help the army at Holland move to Rhur.

KIE can not support an attack on BEL since it does not border it (it does not have a common border with BEL)

if your supporting army were in RUH, BUR, or PIC, that unit could --- assume RUH and your orders would be:
"to" is where you want the HOL army to move to, in this case it is BEL
"from" is where the attacking army is coming from, which in this case is HOL

so, RUH orders are "support move" , "to" would be BEL, and "from" would be HOL

You just need to have Holland 'hold and Kiel 'support hold' at Holland.

I think he knows he can't support his move to Holland from Kiel, he just wanted to move his army from Kiel to Rhur as well.

I thought that I should be able to order a support for a convoyed move from another player, but after I select 'support move' the FROM box doesn't list the region from which the convoyed army would come. It only shows the adjacent regions.

Mintz, that's a known problem in this version of the game that will be addressed in a later version.

Due Now status
After the 24 hour time limit the game is in the "due now" status. Why does the game not make the moves? If there are players that have not finalized orders whey does it not just default them to hold and move on?

Feature request: record NMR's
Certainly not a high priority, but it would be nice if phpdiplomacy logged each time a player committed an NMR ("no moves received"), and displayed in his profile the percentage of his turns that were NMR's.

Maybe game creators could even set a threshold: "anyone can join this game except people with NMR% higher than 10%" etc.

Fleet support cut by army????
Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Aegean Sea was attacked by a army at Greece, and had to defend itself, so couldnt support a move elsewhere.

Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your army at Constantinople engaged the army at Bulgaria head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

Request for Kestas
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1162

Could you extend the turn deadline by one day? Some of our players have disappeared and it is unlikely that they'll make a move by 8AM PST. I wouldn't want any player to skip a turn as that unbalances the game.

Rules that haven't yet been implemented
I just got this Gamemaster message: "Autumn 1906, Diplomacy: Your army at Serbia prevented the army at Rumania from giving a support move against your army at Serbia." Is that to be taken as accurate? I thought if Xxx s Yyy->Zzz, then Zzz->Xxx couldn't cut that support. Either this is an erroneous message, or the rule I just cited isn't yet implemented in phpdiplomacy.

I haven't been able to find any kind of list of known discrepancies between phpdiplomacy adjudication and the official rules, but it would be useful to have such a list. Can we list such discrepancies here for future reference?

In phpdiplomacy, unlike in regular Diplomacy...
1) You can't yet support the movement of a unit that's being convoyed.
2) A unit that's under attack can cut support being given to its own attacker.
3) A convoy is disrupted if it is attacked, even if the attack is unsuccessful.
4) A unit to be convoyed specifies what route to use, not its destination.
5) Other players don't get to see your orders, only the results of the orders.
6) ...

What else?
