new game

Even wanted to meet than man behind the myth ? new game staring the one and only kestas needs 4 more players. 101 points.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=3117

apologises to Razz for posting about the game he started on the forum and for kestas for blatantly using his name to pull in other players. in my defence its just 14 hours to go before the game starts or fails and we only have 3 so far.

cheat! Pls end no eye deer 4

as per thread by patlondon, the game no eye deer 4 is a game in which mussolini and timchau are cheating. This will mean that we lose points. Can we forcibly end it? And re distribute points bet?

Non active players

was wondering what it takes to be in the top 100 of php players. (should be of wins compared to games played but thats another story) seems to be about 500 Dpoints. was it always thus?

i noticed a lot of players didn't have active games. As there are no dates on the finished games i don't know how long ago their games were. but i was wondering what people thought of a system to slowly take away points to non active players?Nothing too drastic, i don't mean if you haven't been active in 2 or 3 months but longer, maybe after 3 months 10% of your points are taken away for every month that you remain inactive. that continues until you reach 100 points then it stops.

Just thinking it would be good to have a (maybe a side bar to the forum page of phpdip) a current list of top 100 players.

When it was first added, you could get into the top 100 with around 250pts, but that was because all the previous games were given low points values. I disagree that it should be wins/games, as that way no weighting is taken into account for the various difficulties of games, and so winning one game against new players would put you top! Moreover, that would encourage multi-accounting, as players would restart to get themselves a clean record. Having another table for games in the last 3months would be good.
Also, I don't think points should deteriorate, but once Kestas brings in the update the problem will be reduced, as points will be shown based on the number of points you have, including those invested in games. This will mean that over time the inactive members will sink out of the table.

I do think there should be a way to see more users however, outside the top 100, but i believe this is also in progress

I disagree that points be taken away from inactive players, even for very long times spans. These are the result of "history" and should remain there untouched, even if a user remains quiet for years. They are part of the story (hence of the success) of this site.
As figle noticed, static players will sink out of the top list, since they do not advance their pots, while active players do.

Anybody here remember "Arthas"? He was a very good Dip player, won a lot of games, and then left because he disliked all the dumb people and idiots running rampant around the forums. He left before the point system change, and after that came in, his won games all converted into points, and he was boosted into the Hall of Fame at 11th place, even though he wasn't even playing anymore :)

Only recently has he started going south of the list.

He was a good person, and I vote that we NOT do what sean suggested. I mean, suppose Rait suddenly decided to leave. The same that happened to Arthas would then happen to Rait, but on a quicker scale, and a year later or so, Rait might be mostly forgotten too.

The hall of fame is a TRIBUTE to those players who have excelled. Of course, those still active will eventually catch up to inactive players and take first place away. Their names should remain archived as a symbol of respect for them.

yes i can see what you are saying Isbian. a hall of fame should be a hall of fame. but i like the idea of more stats and more ways to compare ourselves to current players.
thanks for the info figles

not all players with no active games are really inactive; some might simply not have enough time to play (for example, if you cannot log in every day you might miss turns, and it's not a thing one likes doing...) ;)

There is a kind of "decay" of the value of points, because the total number of points in the system, and the total number of points per player, only increases. This means that having 1000 points now is pretty good, but in a few months it may only be average for a long-term player. As time goes on the active players who keep winning will have their points increase at a larger and larger rate, so no-one can really rest on their laurels for too long.

Playing in one game, CD in another

It's frustrating when someone is playing in one game but not putting in orders (nearing civil disorder) in another game. The 24-hour time frame gets old, especially when retreat and build phases are included, when you have to wait for it day after day. This method of play is ruder than going civil disorder in all of one's games.

Just venting. I realize that this won't change anything.

Offline period

phpDip was offline for a while, I'm not sure how long. Just as I was posting a support ticket it came back online though.

I'm going to delay next process times by 10 hours, in case anyone missed their orders.

In case anyone was wondering if the update was being applied; when the update is applied there'll be a days warning, and a message posted to the site letting you know that the site is being updated.

No Press Tournament

We have finished one, did the other finish? i see there are quite a few No Press games going/finished recently. i saw a no.5 up and running i think. So how about we take the 7 highest unit getters of all the games finished?
but if people want to just take the best 7 from the 2 set No Press Tournament games its ok with me.

Game objectives

I know most people follow the path of
1) Don't die out
2) Don't loose
3) Win
However, in one of my games I've reached an interesting point. We are about to reach a stalemate line, with me on oneside and the other two players, who are allied, on the other. This looks like it is going to therefore me a draw. However, if one of them stabs the other, then it will not. In this situation they have said they think i would win (which is a possibility I admit). But then, even if I win, they would still take more out of it than a draw.
So, what I'm asking is do people think that a draw is a better finish than a good 2nd place?

What happened here?

In my game my move from Ionian Sea to Adriatic Sea bounced when I'm quite sure it shouldn't have. The game is at http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2906 and all of the 'GameMaster' messages relating to this turn are below. Am I just being stupid or is there really no reason for the bounce?

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Apulia successfully supported the fleet at Ionian Sea move to Adriatic Sea.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ionian Sea moving into Adriatic Sea recieved move support from the fleet at Apulia.

12:15 AM Spring 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ionian Sea engaged the fleet at Adriatic Sea head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

Bugs and FAQs

As notice in FAQ secction: 'adjudicator works for the majority of moves made, but it is a simplified implementation of the official rules'.

Since I has suffer some bugs or disfuction of adjudicator (like retreating for SPA(sc), supporting convoys, some uncutted unexpected supports, etc), etc.

Is there a complete list of detected bugs/misfuctions where players can follow them and see if this bugs/misfuction are fixed?

I don't found this on 'HELP' page....

Thanks Kestas.

Abandonments

I count 9 different players in CD now, which seems a rather high number. At the same time, games with higher pots seem to be having a hard time getting off the ground. I wonder what's going on?

Hopefully the update will correct this, at least in part, by adding an abandon game option. However, I still think it would be worthwhile to analyze whether the length of time it takes to put a country into CD is too long. My sense is that it is.
