Is it also trained off PPSC games?

Can you post the link once made so we can watch this peak of nonsense? But first we need two more players - would you be willing? :p I wish I could, but I'm afraid I don't think I have time even for a 10-day phase if it involves press. (Also, the only other 10-day phase I've played I made me want t...

You're certainly welcome to use this thread! (Although threads are not nukes—proliferation is not something to fear!)

The game that was originally set up with this thread is still ongoing, and I can't commit to another game, but I hope you find enough players!

If getting closer to a solo makes you more eliminatable, I think you're going the wrong way.

Totally agree with CSteinhardt. One thing to add is that statistical analysis shows that Russia is most likely to solo in the early game—60% of Russia solo come in or before 1908, whereas the other countries average around 1910. This seems to imply Russia does best with fast expansion, taking advant...

Shouldn't we try to start the 2020 version sometime during 2020? Or is that going and I missed it?

ODC has run every two years after starting in 2015. The next one should be in 2021 and will likely be hosted somewhere other than on webDip.

They're always labelled by the year they start, regardless of how long they go. Take the 2012 World Cup for example...

The solution that solved it on my test server was converting the SQL table encoding utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci. Then line 118 in database.php has to have set names changed from utf8 to utf8mb4. That's all that's needed to make the full unicode display properly.

We're not even half a day into Oct yet...

Are we allowed to peanut gallery these?

I'm confused. Is Tim talking to himself? Has he finally lost it?

So to the collective opinion in here is a bad thing to reach the end and forfeit the solo respecting the co-player who helped you to this point. There is a vocal majority who have said as such. And although to an extent I agree with them, I think it is just as important to respect the minority who ...

Additionally, the default reliability rating in game creation is 80. That means new players can't join default games right off the bat. Under the current system, perhaps there should be no default game RR? If the new player RR system was changed for them to start at 60 or something, then perhaps a d...

make an agreement going into a game that one will throw all of his centres to the other in the first few turns. ( Note: Emphasis added ) ^^ This sounds like you were hypothesising two players deciding to do throw before joining a game. That would be considered meta-gaming, and is disallowed by Rule...

The thing about diplomacy is that it's a game about humans, and humans are not purely rational beings. There are goals that are rewarded by the rules and scoring systems, absolutely. But there are also the goals that people make for themselves. Although you might find those goals annoying, they are ...

Oh lol I just hadn't looked closely enough at the db connection before and missed where it specified the encoding. The table encoding just needs to be converted to utf8mb4 in mySQL, then database.php has to change set names from utf8 to utf8mb4 on line 118. That made the full unicode display properl...

It's actually worse than just not having emojis display properly. They actually completely break off the message being posted—only the text before the emoji makes it into the db. Most webDip tables, particularly the wd_gamemessages table, are set to utf8. They should really be converted to the stand...
