ProsperityY!PP and Exponentialdecay
I'd like to know if these two players are, in fact, the same person. They signed up within a day of each other, log in within minutes of one another and play in all the same games. Does anyone else have evidence of them being either the same player or that they colude?

Chance
Can someone who is better than me work out the probability of me drawing Turkey 9 times out of 35 games. I know its better than 1 in 4, but what is the probability?

Most of those have come in the last few games as well! Am getting heartily sick of the country...

Anyone have a better ratio than that?

COMPETITION RULES:

Game Details:


Game Number: 5

Game Type: Winner Takes All

Phase Length: 25 hours

Pot size: 175 (Bet of 25). If any player wishes to reduce the bet he should email myself and alert all other players in his Group of it in a Global tab, and it then may be reduced. If all players wish to increase the bet, they should agree to in the Global tab of a game, and then each should email me to confirm that they wish to do this. If a player wants a lower than 25 bet for the first game, they will have (have had already this season) the opportunity to ask for this in the pre-season email.

Each player is responsible for ensuring he is able to play in the game at the scheduled time, in order to achieve this, he may ask for a reduced bet. If he is unable to pay any bet, then he shall forfeit the game, and the game shall be played with a Civil Disorder Italy. If two players are unable to play, then there shall also be a Civil Disorder Germany. In the event that three or more players are unable to provide any bet, the game is considered a draw between those able to play. The SC counts for each player for the game are 34/the number of players able to play.

Errors: If the game is begun with any error in the set-up, the game shall be called a draw and then restarted.

Start dates: Games will begin in the second week of September, and new games will be begun during: The fourth week of September, the second week of October, the fourth week of October, the second week of November, the fourth week of November and the second week of December. Seven will be the maximum number of games. The games at the end of the season will be removed if it is voted that there should be fewer games. I shall provide reminders to every player of these dates. The second season will begin on the second week of February. There will be a summer break until September when the third season will begin.


Sitting:


Due to the long period of play in this league, we understand that people may need a sitter for their account. Because of this, we shall be providing the management of a sitting service for people's accounts. In return for having their account sat should they be unable to be at a computer, players will agree to sit other peoples' accounts in the leagues whenever they are able. We hope that players will be able to make sure that this system works, by agreeing to sit accounts willingly.


Points:


There will be 12 points awarded for a win, 6 points for a two-way draw, 4 for a three-way draw and 3 for a four-way draw. We doubt that there shall be five, six or seven way draws, however, should they occur, 2.4, 2 and 1.7 points will be awarded respectively.

In the event that two players have the same number of points, they will be differentiated between on the basis of a SC count across the games. The maximum SC count in any game is 18, even if more are held.


Leagues:


The winner of each league will enter the Premier league, along with the highest scoring second placed player. The five remaining second placed players will enter league A with the two highest scoring third placed players. The four remaining third placed players, all six fourth placed players and the four best fifth placed players will be seeded based on their performances and placed into league B1 and B2. The remaining players will be seeded again and placed into leagues C1 and C2.

Black Star's with builds
Usually when a unit is built it has a gold star on it. But sometimes it show up with a black star, instead. I was wondering if this is just a coloring glitch or when does the black star show instead of the gold star?

NMR Removals what are the rules here?
When a country has No Moves Received (NMR) for a removal adjustment what does the House Rules here do? I cannot seem to find them on the FAQ but I could be just incompetent in my searches.

In the classic rule books the rules generally read somewhat vaguely:
Furthest from a home supply center, fleets before armies, then alphabetical.

This has generally been ruled as furthest: being direct province count regardless of connecting restrictions for a unit type, and home supply center regardless if owned or not owned.

In House Rules around the tournament and club world of Face to Face and the postal ZInes that are hand moderated, this is sometimes changed to the following:

1. Units in a supply center are never removed
2. Units not in a supply center are removed furthest from an OWNED supply center
3. Ties broken by Fleets before armies and then alphabetical by province.

However there are also variations along those lines that detail that distance is measured by the unit's ability to reach the nearest owned supply center so for example a Fleet in the Adriatic may be only two away from Serbia by distance but could never ever reach there so if the competing unit removal was say in Silesia, then the fleet would go before the army.

Anyway, what is the methodology used here?

Leagues Cup?
I don't know about some of European/British brethren, but in the US and Canada our hockey and football, ahem* - "American" football leagues have a "Championship Cup" to be won and held by the champion team for one year. The following year they have to defend their cup. Usually it has an honorary name, e.g. The Stanley Cup for hockey, named after Lord Stanley.

One more small suggestion...
Be new to php dip, I just had one more suggestion... When playing several games it seems a little hard to keep track of alliances, grudges, and other general notes. It would be great if there was a personal notes section bundled in each game so that a player could record thoughts and notes for themselves about that particular game.

Overall I do love the php format...

What happens to a multi-accounter?
If a multi-accounter is eliminated are all his games canceled as well, or just his account cancelled and the game continues? The former would seem to punish honest players who have played well, while the latter I believe encourages reporting cheaters promptly.

A matter of political correctness
What's the politically correct way to say a citizen of the UK of African decent?
In the US it's easy: African-American.
So what do I say? African-Britishman?

In my opinion, it's all getting a bit ridiculous. People need to stop getting so offended by the way things are worded.
