ha ha i have 16. And i have not played them in same game but since most games have high bets, i do not think it fair to penalise new players who have just joined. Its most disadvantageous for those who can only play one game at a time

Wiki for phpDiplomacy
I suggest that we should build a Wiki for phpDiplomacy, with screen shots, as an intro, history, etc.

The wiki articles should be divided into several categories, e.g. Games Finished, Games in process, Rules, How to Play?

I have seen wiki for many games, which was then an essential guide for me to get involved into this game.

Also, this can be a support to other running phpDiplomacy, for them to be an FAQ.

Wiki: How To Cheat
Cheating is easy. Follow these simple steps.

1. Think up about seven distinct, unrelated user names.
2. Join.
3. Open some large games, join with 2 or more of those accounts.
4. Play the games as if the accounts were one country
5. Shut up about your multi-accounts. If anyone asks, tell them 'You are jealous because you can't make such quality alliances like me.'
6. Enjoy!

you blow if
heh i know its extremely ungracious. but better ungracious than unethical. just want to reiterate my longstanding position, that if you have just one or two SCs, and rather than work in the grand coalition to stop the runaway leader, you decide to bottom feed off his victory for a few pathetic points, you blow, and everything about you blows.

Best Dip Moment
What has been your best diplomacy moment on this site, a stab that was so great that you bring it up in your daily conversations, a victor so overwhelming, or just a strategy that you stuck to and did well.

I would have to say that I think mine would be in the game East (http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2378) where I saw that Russia had not turned in orders, changed mine real quick and ended up with three supply centers that turn.

I was Turkey, allied with Austria who had no navy to speak of. I set up a convoy from Tunis to Norway to get behind German lines, then used the same fleets to stab Austria and sieze England. I'm sure I have had greater moments but they're so long back I've forgotton them.

Well, this game is going on right now, but it's pretty much over so I'll share.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2745

I'm turkey. Maybe because of some incompetence or some luck, maybe both (Austria is somewhat too trustworthy), I managed to get 5 SCs in one turn, and 3 the next turn. Russia went down fast, due to him trusting me not moving to BLA while also moving North. He was gone in a couple years. I encircled Austria, pretending to go for Germany, then smashed Austria taking Greece, Vienna, and Budapest, and also Naples, and a lucky shot at Berlin. The next turn, Serbia, Trieste, and Rome fell. Austria could have slowed down my conquest. But now it's almost over.

Tman, I hope you know that just because a player has not finalized their orders, does not mean they do not have them ready. Fully updated but unfinalized orders are still processed when the phase runs it's 24 hours. Many players do not finalize as a habit, so don't count on the "x" as a sign of inactivity.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what I believe to be my crowning Dip moment...

The more apparent and glorious wins are usually due to the incompetence of my opponents... and the victories earned over superior opponents hardly seem epic in comparison.

Classic "never give up" moment for those considering CD http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1247
This would have to be a good one for the underdog to see.
Down to one unit and with a little help from Austria (ill always be thankful) i was able to fight my way back to just a single SC from victory...
Awsome game. =)

And one which played counterpoint to your name!

Never say die, never surrender!

For me, I think it was a face to face game. We had been drinking rather a lot. Well, actually, ridiculous amounts - bubbly and beer in the main. I was not the worst affected player but I am sure the intoxication added to the fog of war effect. I managed to get into an "accepted as probably going to win" position before we just had to give up.. after 10 hours of continuous play. Something about that game stays in the memory. Great players (excepting yours truly who was merely the host), really great - one, who was/is an Oxford Doctor of Philosophy (in Philosophy too - not something like Media Studies), kept role-playing Metternich the whole time.

In php? Too early to say really...

Well I haven't played in months, and I forgot my password to my Smokodanko account, but I still remember my best moment.

My friend was Germany and I Italy. There were about four or three of us left, equally split up for the most part too. My friend was probably going to win, but I quickly backed out in our alliance and gave him a turn to "prepare." Greedily, I snatched up nearly all of his land he'd taken. Was probably eight territories or something like that. Good times. ;p
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2808&orders=on#orders

Its my best because I survived being double teamed by England and Germany, even after screwing up with Brest. It was a tough fight with lots of "what if he does this, but what if he expects me to do that" type stuff. Intense, and rewarding.

I have two favourites, both games I am still in, first, this:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2644

simply because it is success with Italy, which has transformed my view of the nation (Just as well as I am in three games at the moment as Italy), but also because of the way I managed to stab Turkey and convince him I had accidentally given support from Galicia to Rumania rather than from Rumania to Galicia, and then steamrollered him in three years.

The second is this:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2618

Because of the way I managed to hold my ground against England's stab early on, and then when he fell into CD I could gobble up land, which, although lame, was so rewarding.
Chrispminis (916 D)

Nice Ghostmaker. I actually enjoy playing Italy for some reason, I've probably had more success as Italy than any other country, despite them being considered the weakest, or second to weakest, depending on who you ask.

World War I games
So we have had three so far right? with 2 wins to the Allies and 1 victory for the Axis powers. what did people think? i liked the team work involved but maybe a different mix of countries would make it more exciting and throw up battles in different places. With the current WWI teams it seems to lead to a diagonal line of units from tunis thru swiss and up to st petes once italy is removed from the picture. different teams and including italy, could we do it?
russia,turkey,england vs france,austria,germany ? the centre vs the periphery?
or a more hedgehog approach to team making?
ideas?

How you go into a game with players you've played before
It seems a lot of people have talked about going into games fresh and not bringing preconceptions about other players into the game, and for the most part I have agreed on this point. But I was thinking about it some more lately, and I think I've changed my stance some. I still agree coming into games always allying with the same people, unbreakable alliances, etc. are not good...but to say I shouldn't remember how I've seen X person play? I'm beginning to think something is lost there. Thanks to Kestas, we've been building up a community of players here, each with our own idiosyncrasies and playing styles...why not explore them?

Each game I play, I have the opportunity to learn how to play better...say, when using a certain tactic might not be a good idea/is particularly effective...why shouldn't I also learn what negotiation tactics work better with a certain player? Or that he or she stabs often or rarely? Doesn't my body of knowledge about a player and how I try to use it to my advantage take the game to higher level? Yes, a new player hasn't had the same amount of experience as me, but they'll get it soon enough...and it cuts both ways, as I, in turn, know nothing about them and he or she is a wild card and must be treated with differently. But would this prejudice people against allying with new players? I think not, as it would be foolish to limit your options at the get go. It's just a different kind of negotiations.

So that's what I've been thinking...I'm particularly interested in what the rest of you think.

Competition... Great Prizes... (to be announced)...
Roll up, roll up, for the Great phpDiplomacy Competition.

Two questions, both relate to a winning position on the map:

a) What is the largest area of colour that can be achieved for an 18 Supply Centre win...?

and, a little more difficult...

b) What is the smallest area of colour that can be achieved for an 18 Supply Centre win?

Name the starting country and the exact list of all territories gained, not only supply centres...

Have fun.

Lost all of the information for my previous account and the only thing in my email related to this site was the Mastermind's series password. I played on here quite some time, and figured why not again. Did rather good too on my own part.

Anyways, my email was [email protected]. Was wondering if somehow you could refresh my password, give me it and my username or tell me that there is nothing that can be done.

Civil Disorder
How is there a game with two countries in civil disorder from the beginning at 1901? Also, how does Civil Disorder Germany and Civil Disorder Italy always happen to be in civil disorder and always happen to enter a game as either Germany or Italy respectively? And how do they stay at 100 points?

What's the feeling being the Top50 players on the site?
Being a player on the top of the ranking list, how are you feeling when you play a game?

Would your position affect your game in some way? Will your position helps or not helps to play with other players?

100point players may suggest you know, " let's finish Rait off first, he is dangerous and frequent to win!" while 1000point players may say to each other" let's elimite our green hand neighbour first and keep peace until we have to face each other at last."
