Cede territories/countries?
I am playing a face-to-face game of diplomacy with some folks.
Those playing as Russia and Turkey say that those playing as Germany and Italy "ceded" their entire countries to them.
Germany and Italy agree, but the rest of us don't like the idea.
I was under the impression that if you leave your country, you go into civil disorder and others must MOOVE UNITS to claim the land PHYSICALLY. Can you confirm/clarify? Thanks.

Ever considered a more tradtional forum?
I really hate phpbb's code, but this type of forum makes it really hard to watch responses.

Agreed. There are plenty of other smaller forums (still written in PHP, though) out there too, like PunBB. It's pretty minimalistic; archlinux.org is using it, and I must say it's pretty slick.

take a number bucko

and fyi its not gonna happen because too many people like the way it is currently because the forum doesnt overload with millions of threads and the more current/popular/interesting ones stay on top.
For those of you evolutionists....its survival of the fittest

I really like the format of this forum. I don't have to click through a hundred layers to find new threads and only active threads stay alive. I suppose it would be nice to have a sticky feature so threads of importance (at the discretion of the mods) can be kept alive without being perpetually bumped.

here are some things I think might improve this forum:
- search function
- ability to view older threads (pages)
- subforums like: "league discussion", "off topic" and "@mod"
- sticky topics or annoncments
but in generall I think it's good simple forum.

sunforums would help but this forum works and there is not much point in changing it when there are better things to be done, like, e.g. installing a preference system for countries.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
04 May 09 UTC
All those improvements have been suggested to Kestas.
The three things I would really like would be the ability for mods to remove posts,sticky&lock (not saying it would be used, but could combat anyone flooding asap). These would also allow us to put together a decent FAQ that genuinely was the FAQs, and keep it at the top of the forum and updated.
Multiple boards is something I would really like, but there are others who disagree.
Just be thankful it's not as piss-poor as the forum on the fb version of phpDiplomacy. That one's almost useless.

I would like Pagination of Threads.
I hate scrolling down long threads.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
04 May 09 UTC
You could do multiple boards by having a board acting rather like a thread does now. It would get a bit narrow, but I believe the interface is being widened at some point?

i wouldn't mind subforums if there's still an option to view all thread in one place

i love this forum i dont want it changed at all
figlesquidge (2131 D)
04 May 09 UTC
Pagination's coming for the board, not sure about threads.
For multiple boards: I was thinking having a tab-bar just above the boards, then have them below that, displayed exactly as they are currently. Saying that, perhaps it would be advantageous to swap round the colour scheme for different boards, allowing people to easily see which board they're viewing.

I thought the wheel was a mistake...

I spent a lot of time on a big site (as a mod) where the owners kept tinkering with the layout and it was always the same: great disappointment to see the format change... and then great disappointment to see the format change again... and then...

It was quite an eye-opener how quickly we all adopted each change as it came.

I think that the forum is one of the things that adds character to the site. If it were changed, somehow phpdiplomacy wouldn't be the same.

if using the same format, when you sticky things it would clutter up the top of the forum.

Battlemaster is an awesome game that is at least worth a look at www.battlemaster.org. It is a medieval based game where you are a knight. It really should be tried by everyone.

Choosing a country?
What do you people think of the possibility of having an option to choose the country you wish to play (before the game begins) in the next edition of phpDiplomacy? Would it be a practical idea?

Take Over This CD!
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=10447

Austria and Russia are both in Civil Disorder due to banned accounts. Please take over those players; they're in good positions and without them Turkey is sure to win without a contest. And that's boring. Thanks.

Picking up a CD is for suckers.
Apparently, nobody wants to work with the guy who tried to step in and make their game better. Apparently, all I did was walk into my own death. Well, see if I ever pick up a CD again. I no longer have any sympathy for anybody who is in a game with a CD player. You would just kill the new guy anyway.

When is a game broken?
Do people think that in certain situations, when multi-accounts are banned, the game should be nullified rather than paused? This is not necessarily going to happen, I'm just interested.
I've had a number of recent requests for me to force-draw games where multi's have caused certain powers to be far stronger than they should, thus unbalancing the game.

Paused games.
Its about two games "Doublecross 2" and "Political Casualty". They are paused because one of the players had a double account. I asked the remaining players to unpause but some dont. I hope one of the GM sees it and unpause them.
