Supporting Convoy moves
Does this game allow you to do that ? For example an army in Kiel supporting a Convoy into Denmark from Yorkshire. If this is not possible under the current set of moves available it cuts out an awful lot of tactical possibilities imo.

No scroll bar on messages
New user so excuse if this is a common knowledge thing but once there are a couple of messages from the same sender/country, they disappear under the map and there is no scroll bar to access them. Can I open messages in a new window any way? Is it a browser specific problem?

I was meaning to view the game, but instead I actually took over for a civil disorder country. I would like this to be reversed.

Ryoshi - Top backstabber
If you enter into an alliance with Ryoshi, be careful: you are the first one he is going to attack! In my opinion, he backstabs even when there is no strategic reason to do so. It seems he gets into alliance with you just to attack you.

Said this, Ryoshi is fully a legitimate player. So, no complains about his honesty and his respect of the game rules. Just be careful if you enter into a coalition with him, he will attack you first thing :-)

Masterminds V
Alright folks, I'm thinking of starting up the next in the "Masterminds" series, although I'm not as big on the ranking system.

Anyone who is interested in joining the game, just email me at [email protected]

You can join this game even if you do not have the Mastermind status yet, as long as you have a respectable record, and feel you can hold your own with what is loosely considered the best players on this site.

Selection will be based on rank, skill, reliability, reputation, and obviously those with past experience in this series.

So I won't be starting this game right away, but I would like to generate some interest, and bring some new talent in. If you are not selected for this game, have no fear, I will keep your request on hand, for future games. If there are a LOT of viable candidates, I may ask someone to start a second game to run parallel to the first, but that is only if there is honestly enough skilled interest.

So send me your request, I'll need nothing more than your profile link. Don't be shy, there are no obligations tied to the request, and none until the game starts, where I just ask that you do not fall into civil disorder.

fastspawn, one of your games will probably be over in some days, so you should be able to be in nonetheless ;)

Chrispminis (916 D)
21 Jul 07 UTC
Sifu = Teacher, Sensei, Master

Ok, for a sort of heads up time-wise. I will probably not be starting this until the start of August.
Chrispminis (916 D)
21 Jul 07 UTC
As a reminder, when sending your request, please include a link to your profile, otherwise I have no way of knowing who you are in-game, and what your past experience in phpDip is. Everyone who has sent a request so far WITHOUT a profile link, I ask you to re-send it.

Thanks, and I'm glad to see new blood.

Can a person with a game's password view the game but not play? This is marginally relevant to this discussion - I would not be competitive at that level, but I would be more than interested to watch....

no, you cant.

anyway, i don't want to join any more games at the moment. i'll join game 6 if we start around September, but last game i had the crap beaten out of me because i missed a turn, and i decided i wouldn't play in the next one.

but if you only get 6 players i will join.
Chrispminis (916 D)
04 Aug 07 UTC
I will be starting this very soon, but I am in need of a few more players.

If by tomorrow, I receive no more new applications, I will begin sending out the passwords, and beginning the game regardless. I would, however, appreciate it if more experienced players also took up the challenge.

That's for anyone who wants to watch. I *think* that will let you watch... I'm not sure, if anyone could let me know that would be great.

Hi, Chris.

I'd be interested in watching. That URL sadly gave me the message "You can not view this game; it's private, and it has already started."

Cheers.
Noirin (2827 D)

I fear you can't watch a private game, probably with the next versions it will be possible.

I would also like to watch the game, but I understand it is impossible presently. Maybe someone has the time and stamina to put up the game somehow at least once it is finished? Or it then becomes viewable automatically anyways?
Chrispminis (916 D)
06 Aug 07 UTC
One more spot!
Noirin (2827 D)

@bihary: I think it doesn't get viewable, anyway if the other players agree and provide their moves I could convert it to a .dpy file

Go ahead Noirin. You have my approval anyways.

gopackers legitimate?
I just noticed that there are many, many accounts named "gopackers" playing in one game, and all but one of them have since gone in to civil unrest. This strikes me as a telltale sign of multi-accounting. Does anyone know if gopackers is legitimate?

Maybe a gamemaster display bug?
Kestas, can you please check the logs for HTTP Wars (http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1357).

For the Autumn 1914 turn, I believe I gave my army in Finland a support order, but it doesn't display in the Gamemaster. Not that it shows a different order, it just doesn't show ANY order. I suppose I may have accidentally left them holding, but I thought even that would prompt an output. Is it possible that there were too many orders and the maximum size of the Gamemaster box is too small?

fr1988 - new top backstabber
I formed an alliance with fr1988 at the start of a game, agreeing to keep the Black Sea demilitarized. He immediately (as Turkey) attempted to move into the Black Sea *and* moved an army into Armenia. This is completely unconscionable. I just wish I had Ryoshi as a neighbor!

If you find yourself in a game with fr1988, never agree to ally with him; you'll be the first person he stabs!!!111!!!one!

Definition of Metagaming
Much of the debate seems to centre around metagaming, particularly what it constitutes, and what is acceptable. aoe3rules brought this: "http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/ftf/meta.htm" to our attention in a previous thread, which offers one definition. For my part, I think that metagaming is not 'using knowledge gained about a player (such as whether they are a stooge or a stabber) in a previous game to your advantage'. This is unavoidable with total anonymity. The permanent alliance, especially over many games, is metagaming; as is scratching a player's back in game X in return for support in game Y. What other definitions of metagaming and what constitutes fair play can users offer?

Game Statistics/History
I'm new here, but I think this is a feature request that would be useful to everyone. In the "completed games" section, would it be possible to track the games by result? I'm thinking something showing the # of completed games won by each power.

Since these games are all viewable as well, it would be neat to have a way to quickly view all of the wins by a certain power and follow how they reached their victory.

My army at Spain didn't move to Gasgony
Look at this game:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1450&msgmembershipid=8558

When I tried to move from Spain to Glasgony with my army the system said that there was a stalemate. But, nobody else tried to move there. So, was it an error? Or, Why there was a stalemate?
