Minor Bugs list
Now that it seems the bigger bugs are over has anyone noticed any wee small ones. here is a few non essential bugs.

1.when only 5 players join a game the system default "CD Germany" player is actually green and represents Italy while "CD Italy " is brown and if you click it you would end up playing Germany.
2. on the sign on page permanently is spelled permeanently.
3. when you convoy an army the sentence reads
The army at "X" move to "Y: via convoy via convoy.

Payment to takeover a CD. Is it a bug?
I think that the payment to take over a CD should equal the payout if the game ended immediately.

Currently, this is not true. Not sure what the current logic is. There is a 10 SC country in CD, where the pot is 1015. The payment is 441. But (1015+441) * 10/34 = 428.24

I believe the calculation should be:

Payment = (SCs * pot) / (34 - SCs)

So that the payment is 423.

Wombat's apology
Dear All,

This is the real Wombat here. I realise that there has been a lot of discussion regarding the game Ng Wang Ho, which people have aparently been accusing of multi accounting or meta gaming etc.

Allow me to explain the situation. When the game started, Russia was quickly eliminated. Italy soon followed and then two main camps formed:
France and England; Turkey, Austria and Germany.

The moves throughout the game were admittedly very suspicious, with Turkey moving to Finland just to support Germnay, etc, but I suppose the strategy was based on a potential WW1 team strategy and also something with which to help thwart Salmaneser as France, who was then at 9 units and about to break through...

What happened next is that I had to go away for 'World individuals 2008, Germany' which is an international competition, and I could not afford to move during the duration of the competition. Knowing this is advance, I asked 3 of my friends to help me check my account occasionally to ensure that I did not miss turns or go CD, which is unfair to the other players of the game.

I chose multiple people to make sure that if one or two of them were busy, someone would aqlways be able to make my moves.

Unfortunately, although thingws have gone basically smoothly in other games, 'NG WANG HO' has a conflict of interest between Germany and Turkey, who both had acess to my account as a result of the above.

What then followed I had no control over, but I would like to apologise for the mess and the suspicion that has arisen over the game, and I would request Kestas if possible to simply redistribute the points out in to all the original players, and if not to simply draw it.

To avoid this kind of confusion again, I will not play in any games with my friends, except in private games.

Thank you and my apologies again.

Wombat [the real one]

How can someone win with 31 SC's? Looks like metagaming to me...
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3115

Turkey moved their units to exactly the right spots for Russia to gain as many SC's as possible. Something doesn't add up. When I was eliminated, Russia and Turkey each had 17 SC's, then, for some reason, Turkey allowed Russia to gain more SC's in this Points Per Supply Center game. Just wondering what others think about this.

Downtime
There was a lot of downtime today; Dreamhost moved one of their clusters and lots of their main servers to a new datacenter, and a router problem went with it, causing ~10 hours of downtime. But games were still processing, because the servers were only inaccessible from the outside, and phpDip runs the process scripts by itself. This means games may have processed before people had a chance to post orders

So this leaves me with 2 choices;
- back up to 7 hours ago (from the time of this post). This will probably mean most games won't have been processed, but people may have a chance to see the results of orders that were entered, and change their orders accordingly
- Carry on; this would be better if there weren't many people who couldn't make orders, as it would result in the fewest problems with people seeing orders etc

Sorry about this, on Dreamhost's behalf, they have been making a lot of mistakes recently but they are the most stable hosting I can afford. In a future update I'll add a feature that'll allow the game processing script to recognize when the server has been down, and stop processing games

Someone back me up
In the game "le mer de vaches sort merde de vaches" (the only one I'm in) France is accusing me of not supporting his move to Belgium with my fleet in the North Sea for several turns in a row. The problem is that my order does not display on the small map (because it wasn't successful?) It does, however, display on the large map.

I'm posting here because I'd like to get some impartial parties to confirm what I'm saying.

You would need two people breaking the rules for them to be broken, and that is unlikely to work.

Yeh trust, but I expect at the end of the game we'll be able to persuade Kestas to have a quick look or sth.
Well, I've created it, with the password of 'trust' - look on my profile for it (name "Broadcast" or sth)
Since there are already 8 people I don't know quite how to run this, but i suggest that we take the first 7.
Ghost, I hope thats alright with you, and you can obviously take the spare space if it's still open near the end.

Ah, thats true. It won't. However, since you're the 9th person, you don't have a place in this game anyway. For those of you in the list above, if you don't know how to join already then do you want to email me or shall i post it here? We don't want the game to fill up with others who jump the queue!

I should be abloe to join games again soon. If anyone else is looking for a broadcast game, I would be willing to join. I think we shouldpassword it though just to make sure that whoever joins understands the rules... Otherwise we could have a lot of problems in the early moves just trying to explain everything...

If you are interested, please give your name below and I will get back later with a game name and a password...

Timing?

I have been running all games down as I am travelling and prepared for this in advance. However, wi-fi has been easy to get in Germany and I broke my silence earlier today by joining a small game (itchy fingers).

I will try to hold off from anything major for a few more days just incase I have connection problems at the next stop (Berlin).

After that though I shall be up for a number of new games.

I, playing as A-H, got the automated "build an army at Bud" message, but got it 2 times. Just to make sure things don't screw up, i un-finalized it and finalized. There we're still 2 identical messages.

Now I don't really care about that, but I have a problem with no army being built. Would the admins kindly fix this?
