In Italy rhubarb is mainly used to make a relatively light liqueur, the most well-known brand being Rabarbaro Zucca. But ages ago my grandma always had rhubarb candies for me, bittersweet and so good. Or the even more bitter boldo/artichoke ones. I still remember that taste, although I still don't k...

Since you ended up as the board leader I suppose you played (at least reasonably) well. The question arises: did you have the possibility to solo from the final position? I assume you know what the main stalemate line is, so the quick answer is: no, you could not win because all of your SCs were on ...

No, the game is not canceled. The system works this way when you create a game you set how many "excused missed turns" are allowed for each player (zero or more) if a player misses a turn and still has excused misses available this affects their Reliability Rating (slightly) when a player misses a t...

I'm in too many games to join another one, but I'm happy to celebrate:

• 25 de Abril, Revolução dos Cravos

• 25 Aprile, Liberazione d'Italia

You don't seem to have joined any non-bot games. Perhaps you chose to spectate the game instead of joining it?

Thanks for posting that.
At a quick glance I didn't find any significant difference from the previous edition, did you?

A stalemate line is simply a line of provinces that, when properly defended, cannot be invaded by an attacker, no matter what they do. As you can see in the article linked by JECE, there are lots of stalemate lines, most of which smaller than 17 SCs. Then, in the standard map, there are at least two...

I don't mind myself, but I know plenty of people didn't like PPSC and I'm sure the change was well thought out. Sum of squares seems fairly similar anyway, and this wouldn't be high on the todo list since I know there'll be disagreement however the scoring works I think that SoS is much less popula...

I'm afraid there isn't. But out of curiosity, why are you interested in finding it?

Issue with game #556878 (Modern) in staging: the game page shows, I can see the preview and the large map, even go to the order history page; but it's stuck with "Loading orders...". Also, a small detail: the staging environment is not linked to the forum, so the "If you have any new issues please p...

The behaviour you describe is definitely unacceptable if repeated more than once. I mean, if you miss your turn and had no excuses left you will be put in CD. The site allows you to rejoin, unless someone else subs in while you are gone, and this is ok. But then you miss the turn again: this is unac...

Anyhow your game has already been unpaused on request of another player

Using Point&Click UI or the old one? Anyhow your order is perfectly legal, and the error is not complaining about a supposed illegality, it's a technical issue

I hope you guys are joking about the prices. Mountain village, just under 1,000 inhabitants. My actual average speed is 100/30 Mbs download/upload (the company says it's faster, but that's untrue of course). Unlimited data and phone calls, etc, at €24.90/mo. And mobile data+voice, unlimited in Italy...

Happy to help. Just some questions: "linked to the live db" means that one can use the environment to play regular games, while other players in the same game use the standard env? could you please share a list of the new updates/fixes as soon as you release them in the test environment? should we c...

Nice password

Three way draw awards 100 GR player 1/3 of 60 = 20, minus his/her contribution of 5.714286 to the GR pot, for a net increase in GR of 54.285714

I would expect a net increase of 20 - 5.71 = 14.29

If it is a press game, I don't see the harm as long as twitch followers aren't suggesting moves. Why so? My first instinct is exactly the other way round. In a gunboat game there's no press to show, so no information leaks; in a press game the rule could be not to show private, one-to-one press (pu...

Yes. Unfortunately it had a few incompatibilies with the site so it was removed. However I believe you can find it (and a lot of other variants) on our sister site, vDiplomacy

I was just pointing out that the feeling of discomfort is by design, not an unintended side effect. Honestly I'm not worried of not being respectful to women myself, or to people that happens to be somehow discriminated for any reasons. And I can agree that discomfort is by design. What I tried to ...
