Can we define trivial CD's? Is there a specific number that works best as a trivial CD, or is it a specific country arrangement?

I posted this elsewhere, but the title did not make it clear so here it is again.

The above game was being metagamed by the English and French players who then dropped in Fall 1901 (as did Turkey). We now have new players for all three positions and if possible we request this game be restarted. If not, we request that it be drawn. I am the Italian player. I will ask the others to post their confirmation here, though they already have in the game's Global post

See subject line. (This site needs a few more docs ... ;)

the game is Spring 1901, Pre-game

* End of phase: 216 minutes
* Winner-takes-all
* 48 hours/phase: Slow
* Pot: 1200
* Players:
o Gobbledydook (1245)
o Rait (8224)
o McCain (395)
o Vampiero (4317)
o Jerkface (911)
o joao (892)

Tell me your impression if you are playing with one of this.

This Map should look really familiar to all Dip players:

I definitely did not order A Edi-Lon, you can even see that NOR tried to convoy. This happens to me when I play England on a regular basis, what is wrong there, is there any way to correct this?

Still learning the point system. Wouldn't it make sense to reward players with some points for taking over an abandoned country, rather than charging them points for joining? I'm curious how many people actually take over abandoned countries on the losing side of things. Doesn't seem worth it.

Turkey (dearmore28) will confirm

Hi, we would like the game to end with a draw between Germany, Austria and Turkey.

Thanks.

Is it addictive?

I've discovered this site called "itsyourturn.com" and I find myself frequently checking to see if it's my turn yet. Not to mention I'm constantly on this site. It's almost always one of the first things I check in the morning. I might not even be able to see the screen, and I'm still blearily trying to see if I need to respond to press, or input moves. Or just to start my brain on thinking about my next move during the course of the day. :-)

What do you guys think?

Will anyone be attending GenCon 2008 in Indianapolis next week? Will you be participating in the Diplomacy tournaments?

Could we possibly make it so that every game that you lose gets bumped to the bottom of my current games list? Not that it really matters, but it is a little annoying to see the one game I lost always at the top of my list. :-)

Slow but sure again:
a 200 point buy-in WTA.

Now it is time to pay to play a variant game, hur?

I don't know if you've ever come across things like this before, but it is the first time I heard a diplomacy website ask players to pay for playing diplomacy games. I have to say it's hard for me to understand.

So I was wondering what are your thoughts on this?

I noticed that this game was won by thesaurus for 8 centers.
Is this a new rule in diplomacy? "If (user == thesaurus && playing(england)) then
win = 8 centers"? If it were a draw. Shouldn't the screen say "drawn"?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4947

Here's what I usually see:
1. Metagaming Complaints
2. Questions on the rules (9/10 of which are answered in the rules page)
3. Requests for draws and such
4. Pandora/Sicarius threads
5. Legitimate threads on interesting topics (ie. Satirical Maps of WWI)

Maybe a hierarchy and organization could be established? (Example: http://www.hobbitcentral.com/smf/index.php [sorry about the self-promotion :-) ]) Please discuss

everybody welcome.

hello,
i moved a army via convoy from st. Peterburg to Schweden. As i know the official rules this move should have the strength of 2. But i did not get the supply-center after the fight against germany.

so is it a Bug or did i missed something?

I have set up a game Newbie-3 not just for new players but ideally so that we can start a game together and learn as we go along.

I've been hitching across michigan, now I'm in ann arbor 1st chance I've had to get on

Is it based on points or win percentage or something?

I'm playing a game as Germany, and have been thoroughly beaten by just about everyone under the sun, to the point where the only territory I had left was Holland.
When I logged on the next day, I realized that I had gone CD in the game, and was notified that I hadn't logged on in two turns. When I looked at the game and checked the history, I saw that I had indeed missed one turn, but should not have gone CD.

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4732 is the game, for any clarification.

Are there any other reasons, beyond leaving, for going CD?

In the game "And I think to myself... what a wonderful world", this is the second time that an order for one of my units hasn't been carried out. See post below for details.

The game is at http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4761

I recently went to a cottage and my housemate didn't cover my games as frequently as he should have and I went into CD for a couple of games. I am now sitting with two games which I'm losing (the good ones were bought up) in which I can reclaim as soon as I can post orders.

However, upon looking at my record it seems like it isn't in my interest to keep playing these games because I will certainly be eliminated and they will come up as defeats. However, if I don't rejoin its like those games never happened. This seems to promote losers going into CD to protect their record.

Can we have a gone into CD row on their record/profile?
