An idea on a filibuster...
This message board holds 50 topics. There is no mechanism to shut down a topic. If someone was to open 50 new topics would that clear the board and wash away those threads where there have been hundreds of messages to no avail but aggravation of one another?

Draw the game
Look - I've played enough on here that I don't think it's outragreous with the amount of evidence I've show that this game should be drawn and thant the two player "demonicchik" and "chumpster" should be investigated. I think the latter is clearly the "brains" for what it's worth where the former didn't understand simple game play. I think the game 10h, 22 points to play, PPSC should be drawn.

It sure would be nice to have a more traditional forum - then maybe all the flame threads could go in their own little flame category so the rest of us could use the forums for their intended purposes.

Possible Cheating:http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7157&msgCountry=Global
Hi: Italy joined on thursday and took over a cd country: Italy. When he had disbands, he eliminated his ones in Italy, even though all of Italy was conquered by France and he had no units stationewd there- look!
Daniel-san (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Does anyone ELSE find this strange? Or is it that the Italian player is a complete idiot?
I even advised him to disband his troops in Turkey since France had no way of stopping Italys 2 units from taking ven/rom/nap.
DipperDon (6457 D)

@ Airborne- i know.

Peregrin_Took (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
"LOTR" stands for "Lord of the Rings". Friendly Sword is saying that the usernames Peregrin_Took and Sauron come from the same book (they're both main characters), so in effect, I'm multi-accounting which is not true. I believe the person(s) in charge of this site could prove that to you.
Peregrin_Took (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
@Daniel-san: So you think that I'm multi-accounting as well? You could just ask the person(s) in charge of this site.
Daniel-san (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
I AM asking.
It just looks suspicious hence why i am asking for it to be examined- and the fact re LOTR just makes it more suspicious other than Italy's weird disbands against Advice.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
I didn't say you were multi-accounting at all Peregrin_Took!

I just stated the fact of the thematic similarity, and said it wasn't fishy.

Are you feeling overly sensitive for some reason? :)

Oh, and you should suggest to Sauron that he might want to join more than the one game that he's in and helping you win at his expense.

Some people might erroneously regard that as suspicious.
Peregrin_Took (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Ahh. Sarcasm. So everything word that you type in now stands on their heads. Not fishy=fishy, not multi-accounting=multi-accounting.

No. I am not feeling overly sensitive, I am merely defending my case in saying that I am not a multi-accounter. As I have previously stated, e-mail the person(s) who are in charge of this site and they will tell you that I have one and only one account.
Daniel-san (0 DX)

We will see.
I'll keep this up til it's noticed do not worry.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Gah!

This Peregrin_Took fellow tarnishes my good name with his accusations of my sarcasm.

It's a good thing I have evidence and an EXPLANATION to back up my defense.

Otherwise, why, people might still suspect me :D
Daniel-san (0 DX)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Lol!!

Friendly sword: I find it extremely odd, especially with the username coincidences added to the blatant disbands despite advice...
I wonder.... All i want is the game removed if this is the case... and my points back!
Gobbledydook (1389 D(B))

It might take some time - it's SAT/SUN after New Year afterall - and they're doing it in their spare time.

Now, this will probably not make you very happy - but from what I know all games and players are checked afterwards - so if this is a multi-accounting case the guily ones (France in this case) will be punished (banned) - but it might all happen after this game is over.

I'm not a mod though - this is just my observation of how the system works.

Otherwise - yes, looks quite suspicious.
dangermouse (5551 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
There are some suspicious links between Peregrin_Took, Sauron and 3 or 4 other accounts. I will be investigating further and will pause the game (ID 7157) for the time being.

I'll let you know when I have more.

As always, you may contact any of the moderators (myself, chrispminis and thewonderllama) by email if you have suspicions. My address is [email protected], the others are listed in their profiles.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
If you're 'so innocent', why don't you agree to a pause, P_T?

It can't really hurt, can it? If the accusation is proved spurious you'll be extra vindicated.
dangermouse (5551 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Peregrin_Took (10594) and NWE (10688) have been banned for mutliaccounting. I strongly suspect that Sauron is also the same person, but there isn't enough evidence for a ban at this point.
Pandarsenic (1485 D)

Oh, the ownage. It is delicious.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
Just out of curiosity, what amount of evidence is necessaryfor a ban to occur?

Do you have a formulae? (ie. IP adress, # times logged on together, amount of one-sided collusion etc. etc.)
thewonderllama (100 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
I was just looking at this myself but it appears dangermouse beat me to it. I saw the evidence too and must say I found it particularly damning as well.
thewonderllama (100 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
The specifics of the tools used to detect multi-accounters is generally not discussed (so to not make it easier for them to evade detection). Suffice it to say that we generally avoid banning unless it's pretty blatant.
Friendly Sword (636 D)
04 Jan 09 UTC
>.<

Oh yes, I suppose it was kind of silly to ask how you catch multi's on a public thread.

Friendly Sword blushes.

I don't really want to go in to specifics for the benefit of the little ones, but suffice to say that a sword has ways of making itself red all over...

Variant Game!!!
Hey everyone, I have a fun variant game to join! The variant is: No Metagaming! I figure since the rules "don't say it's not allowed blah blah blah" I'll make it a rule of this game, so it's officially cheating if you metagame in this game. Please, talkers only. 101 points, PPSC, 24-hour turns. http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7757

Anyone interested in a game?
I was hoping for a 101-point PPSC game with turns in the 24-48 hour range... anyone interested? I'd appreciate talkers, the game is sort of lame when nobody says anything.

Last time I tried to start the game there wasn't enough interest, but if 6 other people want in I'll start it up.
