Accidental Guest Duplication
Diplomacy Redux: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4457

A guy tried to join using the game link and accidentally put in two guests as playing... if it is possible could you remove both of these guests from the game so we can get 2 actual players in?

Thanks.

Convoy question
Can you use a docked ship to convoy? For example, can the fleet in SEV convoy an army from Moscow to Armenia? Thanks in advance for any help!

GFDT 2007 Results
The first ever Grand Festive Diplomacy Tournament has finally come to an end. The winners of the tournament are abab and Signalseven, sharing in a 17/17 split draw in the final round. Third place went to Ironclad, fourth to Chrispminis, fifth to thewonderllama, sixth to figlesquidge, and seventh to Darwyn.

If you are interested, you can see the game at http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3533. If you would like to see more about the tournament (which in the coming day or two will, I hope, include the final overall standings), visit http://www.llamanation.org/grandfestivediplomacytournament2007.

It has been a pleasure organizing the 2nd and final rounds of the tournament, thanks to all who participated in this first of phpDip history!

Question about Ionian Sea...
I am Turkey in this game:
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4312

This last turn, I had the orders Fleet Apulia move to Naples. Fleet Ionian Sea supports Apulia to Naples.
The Italian player had the orders Fleet Naples move to Ionian Sea. Fleet Tunis supports fleet Naples to Ionian sea.

I thought we bounce. But my fleet in ionian is now being displaced. I'm trying to figure out if this is my misunderstanding or if it's a bug.

anyone?

Kestas (if you are out there!)....
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4391

In this game I'm pretty sure that I entered my moves and left unfinalised (I was travelling and needed the full time to get where I was going)

If you have 5 minutes can you check to see if this is/is not the case...if it isnt then how did I screw up?

Its a shame because it is quite a high pot game and my lack of moves has really spoilt it in the early crucial stages

Thanks for any response!

not finalizing
if you don't finalize orders, but do update them, what happens when the game enters the next phase? i remember an argument a long time ago about whether this should be allowed, because it slows down the game for others. there might have been a change in the rules because of that; i can't recall. but this is for another reason - i'm waiting for a message from someone, and i might have to change my orders because of it, and if i finalize the game might move to the next phase before i get back. so... does anyone know?

Retreat/Destroy question
I'm trying to destroy one of my own armies in order to get a build...I have my reasons. :)

If I can get an ally to dislodge my unit, can I simply not enter a retreat destination for my unit and let the phase end for it to be destroyed?

Also, can I support my ally in doing this to successfully dislodge my unit?

We're in 1917 now and the map's history is one of the most entertaining I've seen in a LONG time. Note the bias brought about from the fact that the person posting this entry is actually a player in the named game.

Remembering one player from the last game?
If you were stabbed or seen bad gameplay from a particular player, do you carry it on to the next game when you see the character again?

For example:
Suppose you are Italy and France (user 'fakename') stabs you and gets you in a war and Russia wins easily because you two were worried about each other instead of the growing threat...

3 games later, you jump in a game as austria, and 'fakename' is germany. Do you purposely go after germany due to the previous game, or do you play 'a fresh stance' on each game?

I'd bet you'd have more points, if stupid people like me keep missordering, giving you wins, when is should have been a draw... :( But a 400 bet would be okay with me.

Stevelers: haha, it was a good game, dont get too excited next time, anyway, I dont think the draw request are being treated, so might as well one of us win it, and its a PPSC game, so not much difference in points, just the winning ratios

im surprised by the frequency of new high-stakes winner-takes-all games starting.

i feel like the respect received from having any amount of points is grossly distorted by these risky all-or-nothing players. to win a diplomacy game, in my opinion, it takes almost as much chance as skill; and the points that the winner of each of these games gets will show no consistency in their game.

for example:
say a player wins a 2800 point pot (needing 400/person like the game above mentioned) because of luck (in the form of opponents mistakes, non entered orders, or simply multiple CD countries) and before that, he was barely able to scrape his way to 400 in the first place, does that really depict skill?
Vampiero (3525 D)
24 Jun 08 UTC
all im really saying is,
anyone in the world can get lucky with a pick at the racetrack, stockmarket, or lottery.
but it takes real skill (the likes of Warren Buffet or Alexander the Great) to consistently outperform your peers over the long-term.
Vampiero (3525 D)
24 Jun 08 UTC
and patience,
all just my opinion

So vampiero would you like PPSC more? I personally prefer WTA coz it's more like the real f2f game.

Re: MadMarx- Don't worry! I don't carry grudges!

So how many do we have now? Lets see...

1) Stevelers
2) Wombat
3) Arthurmklo
4) fwancophile

Dont get me wrong, i just dont want points-inflation to occur because 10-15 players won 1st place in alot of WTA games and are all of a sudden at 2000+ points each. And all of the loosers start with a fresh 100 and try to gamble to 1st again.
Plus ive got to protect my #8 spot, lol.
