Re: Can no longer use [url] tag in the forum
I'm not sure when this change happened, but as someone who has been having to ban hammer these spammers I'm pretty supportive of it. The problem with the URL tags is that you can disguise a link as something else - hide it in a punctuation mark for example - and that's always what they do.

Re: Full Press bots never ready
I also see the option to make games with full press bots has disappeared. Was it all an April fools joke? I feel betrayed. I believe Kestas always opens up game creation for these temporarily - there are only so many FP bot games his PC can run at a time. So this option always goes away after a lit...

Re: Online Diplomacy Championship?
Long story short here: PlayDip's owner is an SEO company which doesn't pay it much attention, except to plaster it with crypto and gambling ads and collect money from premium memberships (I think my opinion on this company is already well known but, that sentence should get the message across). The ...

Re: Online Diplomacy Championship?
Yes, there will - signups will happen in May. Unclear if it will be here or on Backstabbr as of right now - we're looking at bringing Backstabbr into the rotation (since it's seeming very unlikely we'll be able to run it on PlayDip again, given the situation with that site).

This is basically their new standard now. It's very irritating :DJamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:12 pmWow. The bot edited a quoted post to put its spam link in there, rather than in its own post.

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live
Do these bots actually change their orders based on press they receive, or is it essentially gunboat with bots independently spitting words out based on what they receive and the state of the board, but not actually factoring press into decision making? My limited experience so far suggests the lat...

Re: Live Speed Press Games
This Discord server was set up to run Blitz Press games, which are very similar to what you're looking for: https://discord.gg/CCAdWu47W2
It's been a bit inactive, but there are 200ish people there who are interested in these kind of games, so it's a good place to look.

Re: Negotiating a secret for encryption in the global press
Going to say here, from a kinda-mod perspective, this is a cool thought experiment but if you do it in a public press game (assuming I'm understanding this correctly), you are essentially communicating privately. If you join a PPO variant game everyone is going in expecting to play a variant in whic...

Re: Is Austria OP?
Austria is favoured in standard FvA. Meta AI created a very strong bot for the variant, and as Austria it could beat top humans (and itself) upwards of 80% of the time. My general impression is that Austria is heavily favoured at low level of play, France is slightly favoured at intermediate, and Au...

Re: Gender information for academic purposes
If a bot trained heavily on male-skewed WebDip data and then defaults more often to masculine pronouns is that "bias" or just an accurate reflection of its training set? It's both. Bias in AI generally means it's accurately reflecting biased training data. Good AI needs to be able to work well in a...

No, these events are purely voice chat. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a webcam in them.

Re: Forum over-run with advertising bots
Sorry for the delay on sorting this, I've been pretty busy this week. Honestly the best solution would probably just be not allowing users to post to the forum until several hours after they've signed up. These spammers only ever post directly after they sign up for the site, I imagine if they find ...

Re: Avengers: Endgame
So apparently now the spambots are just posting AI generated comments with no links included? I really don't get it anymore.
I'll leave that one up because it's whatever but the account itself had spam links in its bio. No clue how they expected to get clicks that way.
