@dargorygel, 5D Chess is, I don’t believe 5D Diplomacy is.

So I realized the original proof of context probably doesn't seem too interesting on its own. Here's a link to the original game that prompted this surefire path to a mental break.

So safe to assume you'll be voting for meteor at the next election? Or has the super-volcano seduced you to its version of carbon-release induced death for the planet?

So, there's a couple videos that y'all need to see. I'm extremely interested in playing a game of this. Any other masochists?

I'll second the slow bots issue. Been going on for about a week now where the bots (one or more) are taking 3-5 minutes to enter orders.

My second victory against FairBot today!

Since about 3:00pm Eastern (it's now 4:39pm) the site has been accessible for about 30 of the last 100 minutes, split into several even shorter spans. And I just had another Bot game draw for no orders entered. The site is significantly less functional than prior to the server migration.

So I'm seeing Timed Out Connections, and or Connection Rejected errors since the switch to the new server much more frequently than before. Typically about 1-2 times an hour I'm unable to access the site for 10-15 minutes. I'm also seeing a lot more unexpected Draws in Bot Games, typically during a ...

I play a lot of Bit games and I'd say I see Italy open against Austria too often, but far short of everytime. In a very small number of instances where Turkey/Russia opens against the other and then don't change course this could work for Italy. In the 1 human/6 bot games an Italian open against Aus...

You know I was kinda wondering about this myself. My page reflects 60 points currently in Play, but I have no active games?

Is anyone on the site team looking into this?

It's been this way since processing resumed after the outage Sunday/Monday. The Bots always seem to stop processing whenever the site encounters general order processing issues and puts everything on hold. FairBot always seems to be unaffected though.

@bo_sox48, Basically yea. For examples, let's say I'm playing a live game and there's 1 minute left on the timer and I can tell France hasn't entered any orders, so I go ahead and use my extension to give France more time to get the orders in. France comes back in time and sees a message from me say...

So this is in the same vein as the recent Emergency Pause feature added, but would address the more day-to-day issues and hopefully prevent the need for pauses in most circumstances: Allow each player in a game to have a single 'Extend Phase Length' option. This would add to the current phase time o...

This is a great addition to the site and I applaud the dev team for putting this in!

Wait were supposed to get bad weather??

Ah, it let me plug in the code on the site and showed all units sold out, I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if the discounts enough to swing it. Would definitely like to see what all the F2F hype is about!

I have to admit, I was tempted by this enough to check lodging rates, but between that being a bad time to take off from work, and being about a $1100 trip in lodging and airfare, I think I'll have to pass on the inaugural and hope for a SkyCon2.

Yeah I second Scrutinizer's sentiment. I've been on this site for over a decade and while it was a great site back when I joined it's only improved since then. The people running this place know what they're doing

So is this November 2019 or November 2020?

Just confused by the timing along with "WDC 2020" in the header. Are Diplo tournaments like car model years?
