The video is only 3 minutes long, but it's insightful for learning the beliefs of the average Muslim.

Private game needing players
Hey guys me and my friends are trying to host a private game of diplomacy because we have a 24 hour train ride. Our skill levels are mixed with many of the players only playing their third or fourth game while a couple of us have been playing for years. If anyone is willing to join gameID=181450 let me know and I'll give you the password. The only stipulation is you need to be able to chat on kik messenger. Thank you!

How do you end a drawn game when 1 player doesn't vote to draw.
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=180889#gamePanel
I am playing France, the Italian player won't vote draw. Nobody has moved positions for maybe 4, 5 or 6 moves. It's a pain to keep entering the same set of orders, it is obviously a draw. What to do?

Why someone can left a diplomacy game?
Can someone explain why and how?
Isn't the rule stating that CD may occur if player missed to play 2 turns without login? Then why a "LEFT" occured?

Points Display
Why does the number of D-Points displayed next to a player's name equal their available points instead of their total points? Total points would be a better measure of skill.

Points aren't a measure of skill at all.

Typically, your points do let you participate in games with more experienced players. However, as TrPrado pointed out, points are by no means, an accurate indicator of skill.
thorfi (1023 D)
18 Jul 16 UTC
Mmm, they do measure some sort of minimum level of skill - you do have to be able to win and/or draw at at least a slightly higher rate than "complete noob" in whatever types of games you do play in order to increase your point value, otherwise you're going to be stuck on 100 points available forever.

After that, it doesn't tell you anything other than someone's had time to play some games - maybe they win heaps and won a few big point games, maybe they just play heaps and win tiny points each time, maybe they only play gunboat, or only play press, or... lots of variables beyond that. :-)
I also have a question while we're at it: How can someone's available points + points in play not equal their total points?
example: http://webdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID=64302&advanced=on#top
TrPrado (461 D)

Because points in play doesn't necessarily account for anonymous games.
thanks.

Well, to really look at ''skill level'' you should look at every game a player has played, and then evaluate. Take into account CDs, and other things like that such as special rules. Even then you don't know as if it isn't only public chat, you don't know if they have good Diplomacy.

I can bet all my points in my next game and lose them, putting me back at 100 D and appear just like any brand new player...

My Ghost-rating will not vary this much. And is a much better measure of skill.

I've never looked up my ghost rating, but seeing the http address, I just tried to look it up, and tried to access the May 2016 list...but it wouldn't let me see the list and wanted to send me an email so I could look at the ghost ratings or get my approval to allow me to see the list.....I'm an old fuddy duddy and not that good with Internet stuff

I would note that here my win % is a mighty 14% of games..and I play classic 7 player games here...over at VDiplomacy which I recently joined to play one player against one forms of classic Diplomacy such as England V Turkey, or more usually France & Germany versus Russia & Turkey ....out of 25 completed games I've won 20...a pathetic win % of 80 %.

So I regret the inescapable conclusion that it's not me holding back my performance here, but having partners and allies in games ( hint..I may be indulging in ironic self mockery )
