I believe emailing the mods is the way to go. Assuming you can find a replacement. Aside from them forcing it you would have to CD the hard way. And that is highly discouraged.
There is no way to do this. If you miss two turns in a row you'll resign the game but that requires you not check the game at all and the NMRs and CDs are counted against your Reliability Rating.
The other option, as Vashta points out, is to find someone willing to replace you and ask the mods to swap you out.
I think this problem might steam from the "I know <insert country here> is going to win" and "everyone else knows <insert same country here> is going to win" so "how can we end this now". Much like a resign in a game of chess where usually among top players the game is not played to a checkmate but someone resigns a few turns prior.
Although short of adding a vote button which is "solo for <insert country x>" which would likely never get used "enough" to justify the time spent to implement it I'm not sure what can be done.
In short I guess just ready up and fulfill your commitment.
You folk can be quite unthinkingly inhumane. Circumstances occur which are of much higher priority than a game; being give notice that you have terminal cancer is just one example. In those circumstances, someone who notifies a moderator that they can't play on so that a replacement can be found should find us sympathetic, not critical. But I agree that those who want to resign from a specific game simply because they're losing do deserve our opprobrium. It takes very little time to log in and order a couple of units. However, the rush to judgement without knowing all the facts (or in some cases nearly all of them) is at best stupid.
@Caballo Blanco: at vdip there is a resign button that awards the solo to one player if everyone else votes resign. So, I think your idea would be easy to apply. I still do think that most people won't use it because there will likely be at least one player out there that will not want a resign on his record I guess.
I guess the best reason for a resign implemented the way guak mentioned would be in a situation where someone is manipulating the system to get more than 18 centers for the purpose of scoring or tie breakers in some tournament. In this case the others could at least "resign" and keep him at 18 centers. This is the only reason I can fathom needing a "resign" feature on this site.
You can't resign (concede, but anyway) when someone is at 18 centers because the game would already be over. It can only be done when someone is below 18 SCs, thus not allowing him to get 18 SCs.
Just wanted to observe how frustrating it is when a player becomes less committed to the game when they look to be in trouble. What can possibly be done to stop this ruining end games for everyone else?
(Also, someone (ghug?) mentioned not long ago a game where Germany recovered from 2 centres to solo. I can't find it again, can someone point me in the right direction?)
I was thinking of doing some research on how many people died by Wall Street practices (through sucking companies out causing unemployment, profiting from and at the cost of pension funds ruining people's pensions, etc, etc.).
Does anyone have an idea of where to start and how to go about this?
We're having another F2F house game in the Boston greater area on July 25th! If you're not already in our facebook group you can post here or PM me for RSVP and/or additional details/questions. Space-time coordinates: Waltham, Massachusetts; 10 AM start time.
After several games of anon gunboat coming and going with not enough players, I finally had one start today. It was my first time, I've never played anon gunboat before. Well, I was Russia and in the first turn England, Germany and italy NMRd. Then England and Germany went CD and Italy finally started making moves.
I don't really have a problem with gunboat but I thought this game was designed for people to talk between themselves and scheme and form alliances in advance and fool your allies telling them you will, for example, support them somewhere but end up attacking them instead. For a few weeks I've seen only gunboat (live games)
One of the major players in the game "cats are somewhat back" need a pause and i hate when games get ruined like this. one of the player refused to and other have missed phases themselves. some one please help i know he could have planned more accordingly but we have a pause button for a reason.
Hi Can anyone tell me where can I find out how the points are allocated? Where the scores are recorded and when the next round is? How many rounds are there?
Here's a brain teaser based on Diplomacy: How many way n-way draws are there such that the participants in the draw have non-repetitive consecutive numbers of centers in a game of Diplomacy? PM me your answer and list the ways.
Every Spring, only fleets can move. Every Fall, only armies can move. Convoys are allowed in Fall, even if the fleets involved already moved in Spring.
