As I understand it there is draw procedure where everyone asks for a draw here.
OK let's try it: Draws include all survivors:

I vote for the draw. France

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?

How could I to disband an fleet to build an army next autumn?

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?

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?

The surviving powers, Fra, Eng, Ger, Ita, Aus would like to request a draw for the following game

Hey,

We just started a game and Russia went CD on us. He's still in pretty good shape if anyone wants to play.

Is it possible to reorganise the layout of the forums so they make more sense and encourage more discussion?

So what happens if you try to support move into a place where there is a friendly unit (that for whatever reason isn't able to move to another position)?

Does the support move fail or does the friendly unit get destroyed?

I've started a game for those of us who are new to diplomacy, to give us some practice. If you're an experienced player, please let us little ones get the hang of it and join another game!

It's called "For all us newbies out there" and it's joinable by clicking the games tab and scrolling down!

Is it just me or if turns aren't finalized before it ends, some of the moves don't seem to actually happen. Support holding seems to be one of them. Its screwed me over more than once now. So what turns do you need make sure you finalize for?

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?

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.

can kestas check this game? england have joined now, with first game and 1 centre, i think that a player (dont know who) have built a multi account.

let me now if all are ok or not.

Really, I don't know if it is. As far as I can see it is used only in conjunction with other words. Examples: self-help, himself, selfless, self-image

Is is ever used on its own?

game for newbies ;D

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...

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.

anyone interested in a gunboat game?

Greetings,

We would like to request a 4 man draw for the Seasoned diplomats only! game.

I being Turkey in that game, hereby agree to a draw :)

Regards,

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.
