Hello Kestas,

please, can you draw http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4711 (game name "Join this game for 101 points"). The other two players will confim shortly.

Thanks

As I will be away on a trip without steady internet access, I am having PokemonTrainer sit my account while I am away. I should be back this Friday or Saturday.

When picking a country that went CD, one has no idea about what was going on in the game, which could have affected one's decision. For instance, I recently picked a country with a fairly good game, only to find out that two players knew each other, and, although they admitted it would not affect performance, their alliance proves unbreakable. I would never have taken the CD were the global press visible. As well, the global press usually specifies any additional rules, and allows to get a sense of the game, to help decide whether one should pick a CD country or not.

Therefore, a suggestion: would not it make sense to make global press visible when looking at the board of any game, where one is not part of?

Over the weekend I missed at least one turn in one of my games and went into Civil Disorder in the other (which I believe has been taken over by someone). I tried to log in multiple times on Sunday and earlier this morning, however the site loaded extremely slow and always timed out before I could open either game to enter orders.

Is there something that can be done about this?

The message in the Global tab to advise all players that a power has been taken over from CD is a nice touch. A worthwhile addition, I think, would be for the original players to be listed in global at the start of the game. This would help us all in the ongoing fight against metagamers.

A couple of private messages which I've accessed recently by taking over CD powers strike me as a little suspicious.... but I've no idea who controlled those powers, or the countries from which the messages came, at the time they were sent. This one's particularly touching....

"im callling you back in a few im not tired. I love you!!"

Good job they went CD, really.... try breaking THAT alliance....

Chaps, many apologies for the CD. I was out of internet contact all weekend.

Good luck, Flashman, obviously I shall be rooting for you.

Just when you are talking about game speed a newbie question if you please?
Just what do you mean by 24 hours/phase??

Is it like

example 1
autumn 24 h
spring 24 h

or
example 2
spring 24 h
retreat and disbanding phase 24 h (if necessary)
autumn 24 h
retreat and disbanding phase 24 h (if necessary)
gaining and losing unit phase 24 h (if necessary)


I just started a game and it seems more like example 1 but say if we have a
24 hours/phase, How many hours for retrat and gaining phase?
what if they are not necessary?? Could you then when creating a game choose
if they should always be there or not?

Also I think I saw a countdown clock but now I cannot see one?

I hope you have some time to answer my question....

Do you have to finalize your moves for them to be valid? In other words if you have set your moves, but don't finalize and the time for the turn ends, will your move for that turn still occur happen, or the move for you just get cancelled?

I'm sorry to bring this up but I've just started my fifth game - and I'm Turkey AGAIN. That makes me Turkey in four out of five games.

Meta-gaming?

I'd like two small things, things that probably could be done quickly enough. On the text turn history, I'd like to see the time the turn was adjudicated for all players, plus the time each player finally finalized their orders. If nothing else, it would make it abundantly clear if one player was playing two or more positions and consistently did their turns a short time apart.

I haven't played Diplomacy for years so I was delighted to find this site. I have started a new game called "Welcome to Diplomacy" using 12 hour turns. Can't wait to get 6 more folks to join in - see you there!

Only 4 more to go. 125 buy-in.

As we all know, when someone creates a game, the game will start in 24 hours when five to six players have joined.
However, I suggest another 24 hours pre-game phase after the game starts, and this phase will be used for negotiations. It is crucial to negotiate for alliances at the very beginning of the game and I found out that many people has difficulties forming an alliance successfully because players are in different time zones and they login at different times. Oftenly when one player suggests an alliance to the 2nd one, the 2nd one logs in half a day later than the 1st one, and oftenly the 1st player has no time to wait for a reply and has to make his moves.
Because of this, many opportunities to form alliances are disrupted. Therefore, I believe that another 24-hour pre-game phase is required.

Obviously I'm not sure whether I did a mouse scroll or something by accident, but I'm completely certain I had Galicia->Budapest recorded in my moves in the game Lord Moldy Butt. This can be evidenced by 2 armies supporting this move. Is there any chance you could take a look at the history and correct it? Thank you.

How can I delete a game which I had just created?

Just 19 points. We need players! 19 hours per turn.

Feel free to take over. I'm probably dead anyway as Austria.

I hate to keep whining about this, but it's happened twice in the last day. Details below.

Let's say my Marseilles is supporting Pied, and my Spain attempts a move to Mars (a bounce). Does this cut my Mars support?

I was at a loss for words when I looked at this game...

Apparently Civil Disorder Germany has been assigned to England. I've checked, and it is actually the system created account. An explanation may possibly spoil the humor of this, but I am still curious.

Autumn 1908: Italy has 0 units and 1 SC
BESM takes over Italy.

http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4793
Spring 1907: Italy has 0 units and 0 SCs
aaaa has taken over Italy.

I think it would be a mistake not to list desperate CD positions somewhere on the site, though there's an argument that countries with two supply centers or less should be listed separately from the other joinable games.... but listing positions with no units at all somewhere where innocent, unsuspecting noobs can find them.... I dunno.... seems a bit cruel to me....

I and a friend would like to play on a same game, and we both access internet from same IP. It would be trouble? Someone would think it would be I had created two players with different e-mails, since both are accessing from same IP...

Greeting,
We would like to end the game in a 3 side draw between turkey, germany and austria.

As some of you know, I developed a few weeks ago a rating system based loosely on the exemplary Elo-rating system used primarily for chess and other two player games. (Note that Elo is not an acronym, but actually the name the surmane of the man who conceieved the system). After requests from Chrispminis, alamothe and sean that I publish the results, and since Kestas said that he is happy for me to post them, they are posted in the reply.

Hi, I am new to phpDiplomacy and had just created a new game to brazilian/portuguese speaking players. The game name is "Em portugues".

Olá, eu sou novo aqui e acabei de criar um novo jogo para brasileiros e pessoas que falem portugues. O nome do jogo é "Em Portugues".

Is there any way to pause a game. Because in our private game some people cannot play next week.
Or isn't it any problem if no player makes a move and everey player gets the state CD. Can we continue the game in - lets say - 1 week?
