Does 0.9999..... = 1?
I had this debate with a friend. He insists it does. I do not believe it does. What does everyone here believe? (and yes, he already showed me the limits and such)

Are there any plans for someone to release a webdiplomacy map
that is modeled after the LOTR or Game of Thrones map?
It would be sweeet.
Who do we message to create it??

Stephenie Meyer rewrote Twilight with a twist!
She rewrote the books with every character being gender swapped.
Now you can re-enjoy the classic in a new perspective with old female vampires and werewolves and a young teenage guy. What a brilliant idea and good use of your time! Meyers truly does keep on giving gifts to humankind.

Dealing with emotions following a good stab
Whenever someone stabs me in the game, I have a lot of negative emotions about it, to the point that I would choke this person, if I had the chance.

How do you deal with such emotions? How do you deal with stabs?

First Tournament (Tempest in a Teapot)
So the Tempest in a Teapot tournament is happening this weekend. I believe that Valis and TheCaptain will be there, will anyone else be joining us? This will be my first Diplomacy Tournament (and first real F2F experience) so I am excited and horrified at the same time. Any tips for me are appreciated.

I look forward to meeting all who attend!

Bugs in live games - countdown don't show real time
Hey guys

Lately I've experienced a bug, and I wonder if I'm the only one. When in a live game, everytime it's another phase, the time have already gone almost a minute, and sometimes, the timer can say I have 15-20 seconds left to do a move, but the game have already moved on to the next phase. Am I the only one experiencing this?

CD Debts to deal with CDs
So, another idea: Those who CD reimburse the other players for (double?) their initial bets, payable only out of winnings.
Ogion (3817 D)
04 Oct 15 UTC
I know, someone would need to code it, but how about if every time anyone CDs they have to pay back the other players' bets, and can only pay out of winnings. One could have a display of total CD debt owed and perhaps barring them from playing in any game over 50@ initial bet or something. Kind of an alternative to RR but with more teeth.

I sense a lot of anti-CD rage coming from you. This really preys upon your mind, huh?

Gotta love the armchair pop-psychologist, right?

Here's the scoop, for those who don't get it: It takes time and effort to play this game well, and CDs definitely destroy the balance of the game and frankly they waste everyone else's time and energy. If you don't want to play the game, then don't sign up. Frankly, common sense and common courtesy ought to be enough, but apparently for some people, it isn't.

Maybe a straight up time out is the way to go. CD? No games for two months. Second CD? Six months. something like that.

Now that is something I would be for. If you are going to ruin people's games, not being allowed to join games for a certain period of time may be a good incentive.

This seems like a lot of convoluted work especially when we already have a system in place for this problem: RR. We should focus on improving RR not trying to make competing (and quite frankly, inferior) systems.

As an aside, if you punish people too much, they will just make a new account. This is behavior no one should want to encourage.
ssorenn (0 DX)

RR, the way it stands, is a flawed system Especially for new people here.

Ogion (3817 D)

Yeah, sounds right, abgemacht.

How about a CD Hall of Shame thread, where we point and laught?
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Right. Cause pointing and laughing always works when you want people to not screw their fellow players.

Also, it'd be great to record who CD'd in games where someone takes over their positions. No way these people should be able to remain anonmymous

Middelfart (1196 D)
04 Oct 15 UTC
I certainly understand your frustration Ogion. I hate it when ppl join live games and then makes a wrong moves in the first year and then CD's. But, I've tried putting a high RR on the games - then we are just never enough for playing.

I do think that abge is right when he points out that ppl will just make new accounts - but that should be happening as well with the RR system if enough games have a high RR demand.

But I don't think that there really is a firm bullet proof solution to it. We who hate's CD's should just stick with the 90 % or above and stay out of games with no RR demand.

You are all thinking inside the box. You know what nobody expects?

A Webdiplomatic Inquisition! Death to he who does not submit his orders! Thou shalt not NMR, lest ye suffer the penalty of hellfire and eternal damnation! (and decreased RR)
