The Ancient Med - not year 1
What year is the Ancient Mediterranean set? Definitely not year 1AD, by then the Med was a Roman Lake. Carthage was destroyed in 146BC, Egypt fell to Rome in 47BC, Greece had been Roman for centuries. Only Persia can claim some independence on that map.

It's my webDip Birthday!
I'm 5 years old and about to play my 100th game! I would like to invite friends, new and old, to play. To be eligible, I'd ask you make a donation to the site (of any amount). WTA 36 Hours non-anon. Express your interest below. And, of course, thanks to Kestas, the mods, and the peanut gallery for making this the best site on the Internet.

17 games, 17 players
Who's in? 17 world gunboats, one game as each nation, 50 hour phases, WTA, anon, ready-up preferred (but no means required), only prearranged pauses (example, if someone insists on a winter break pause, we will ask the mods to unpause at an agreed time if we don't unpause ourselves by then), 5 D bets for a total of 85 D buy-in. Who's in?

Balancing the map
Has anyone tried seeing what would happen if Albania was made into a supply center and Serbia was turned into an ordinary neutral? I would expect stronger wars between A/I and between R/T. Thoughts, please.

We paused a game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=111554), and now it will not unpause, despite if anybody pushes the unpause button.

Thoughts?

Declaration of Singularity
I, user nudge, declare that I have never played this game with any other account, user name or identity other than that in my user profile, and I condemn all who have done so as cheats and liars.

I invite all here to make the same declaration.

Isn't it just. I have been enjoying this site immensely, and was considering donating, but now I find that it isn't a level playing field. This is no reflection on the mods, I too know how difficult moderation can be, but an expression of disgust against the integrity of the players who seek victory through multiple accounts.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
02 Mar 13 UTC
That's a little ridiculous, nudge. Have any of your games even had cheaters?
Alderian (2425 D(S))
02 Mar 13 UTC
@nudge, from the other thread, please understand that Yonni was making a joke. As are the folks above in this thread.

But yes, there are people that cheat to win which is stupid because it isn't winning it is just spoiling other folk's fun. The volunteer moderator team works to minimize the impact of such cheating, and I for one really appreciate it.

I will say that I, like King Atom above and many other people, have sat another account. But not one involved in any games I was in of course. So I cannot make the declaration you have made. Until such time as webdip has official game sitting capabilities, it is the only way to handle game sitting, and is allowed as far as I am aware. Just so you know.

I am sorry I have answered this in the other thread "Can't leave game". If I can find the game examples, I will post them here. However, the games I was playing last time (2010-2011) don't seem to be coming up under My Games. Is there a way I can search for my older games?
Alderian (2425 D(S))

Well, I feel a bit awkward asking this, but when I look at your user profile, it says it was created 10 Sep 2011. Are you sure your previous games were not under another account?
nudge (284 D)
02 Mar 13 UTC
Look, I understand there are legitimate reasons for playing multiple accounts, such as having to use different log-in from a work computer, and I have no truck with that. Any one who can declare their multiple accounts here, by name, and say that they have played in good faith, deserves the respect of his fellow users.

@ Alderian - thank you for your correction, my mistake on the time frame, I played for about six months from that date, and only recently began playing again. My apologies to all, who felt they were misled by that post.
2ndWhiteLine (2601 D(B))
02 Mar 13 UTC
So nudge, are you declaring that you had a different account from 2010-2011? A fair question, jmo, since he's making the implication himself.
Euh? Why would you need a different login for work?
nudge (284 D)
02 Mar 13 UTC
@ 2ndwhiteline - I agree, a fair question, but I have only played this game as myself. And i only discovered it in 2011. I was not aware of its existence in 2010.

jmo1121109 (3812 D)
02 Mar 13 UTC
@nudge, I was serious in the other thread. No one here is cheating. The moderators and admins have an extensive set of tools provided by Kestas (the site owner) that make finding cheaters easy. When more then 1 account is banned for cheating in an ongoing game the game is cancelled to ensure no one is unfairly defeated. Owning more then one account is not allowed for any reason whatsoever.

@2ndWhiteLine (userID=37127) do not post cheating accusations or questions in the forum. If you have concerns about another member send them to [email protected]. Further accusations made in the forum will result in a silence and or docked points.

If anyone can make sense of Timur's tortured English, could they follow up by unscrambling the triple negative in Sonia Dada's "You don't treat me no good no more"?
Timur (673 D(B))
02 Mar 13 UTC
Only a numbskull wouldn't understand Dada's statement. Get it directed at you with vehemence and you would surely get the drift. Pedantic or what? Get a life.
Torturing English? Now that sounds like rather a good idea. Need any help?
I can write stone solid grammatical English if I wish, but, here, I do not so wish. Too much like work.
So I ain't not never goin' to neither give in to no harassment nor intimidation from some no-account non-person who seems to know nearly next to nothing about anything much. Enough negs? No?

Ahhh, the sweet taste of victory. Though a little disappointing how quickly you resorted to name calling. I credited you with being good for at least 2 days of verbal jousting. Ask yourself what you can learn from this.

I depart the field of battle victorious, but leave my opponent not so wounded that he cannot rise again. Injured as his dignity and ego are, surely he will rise again, and look forward to respecting him as an equal when we once again meet in combat. Adieu, my friends.

If I have brought joy to anyone, I'm grateful and If I have offended anyone I'm sorry.

Draws
Sifting through 10 pages of open positions, I am noticing that it's increasingly uncommon that people actually draw for a CD. In a few games, people have pushed for it, and others have seemed to have no understanding as to why they'd draw for a CD. Did this etiquette just disappear like magic? Pre-1903 CDs should *always* constitute a draw and post-1903 CDs should constitute a draw if they result in a loss of a line that would otherwise be present. When did this stop?
