Re: I am going to make my own Hamas

That's just our lovable neighbourhood troll at work. I do like hummus.. hamas not quite so much.. but I almost find people, who are usually nowhere near the conflict, who think hamas = Palestine or represent all Palestinians more distasteful/offputting than hamas itself (and way more distasteful tha...

Re: Unread Message Icon Staying After Reading Messages

Hmm.. Looks like in no messaging games you can message people after the game ends in the point and click UI but not in the classic UI, so you couldn't see england's message that he sent you after the game. Have removed the flag and will add to the list to fix

Re: links on site not working

Have increased the memory limit, will take affect on the next publish. Not sure what else is going wrong besides the orders exceeding memory though.

If you want to view the legacy board and not get redirected to the point and click board you can select it in your user settings.

Re: "I need a Moderator" information out of date

Yep I do still get e-mails to that address, but it does take time to get around to the requests. I aim to clean them out once a month

Recommend the mod forum for anything except being unable to log on etc.

Thanks for removing the old e-mail though gimix

Well.. there's value to not needing your own beefy graphics card etc I suppose. Yeah I did get the sense SD is a lot more customizable but doesn't give great results without a lot of experimentation

Yep this is a bug, it doesn't start when the game is full as it should at the moment (except bot games). Will resolve asap

FYI if you want to see a typical example of what these AI models are doing at the level of a single operation, here is an example of a text input to the output via ParlAI: Input: S1901M TURKEY -> ENGLAND: Hello!

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

Definitely going to make more use of surveymonkey in future, getting useful data even with a few responses. Survey.png Turns out dipgpt1 was submitting all hold orders for a particular game, and that meant the order status wasn't getting set to Saved because the orders weren't changed, and this caus...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

Thanks for filling it out Doug. Only 1/5th have responded so I feel the data might be skewed to more engaged members, but so far the info is useful. Main take-aways are the bots need to be a bit chattier, but they're not way off, waiting for phases to end is a big gripe, the difficulty is about righ...

Re: Free Custom Forum Avatars

Interesting idea. Have you used stable diffusion? Interested how it compares. As I understand Midjourney is commercial and proprietary and can't be run locally, while stable diffusion is free and open source, lets you customize it and add plugins, use different models, combine models, etc, etc.. But...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

Ah I noticed FvA games were getting assigned full press bots due to a bug, that's probably what you're referring to. That's fixed now and I've reassigned FairBot to the games that mistakenly got a full press bot. I'm curious how the full press bot behaved in FvA, and surprised noone complained, as I...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

Hey, are old bots going to stick around? I miss the times when the bot games could pass a turn every 30 seconds. It seems that dipgpt and it's friends take the entire phase, all the time, and it makes the games drag on, especially if I'm messing with a new strategy. Yep of course, are you having tr...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

Is this bot also available in other languages? Afraid not, but I'm sure there's a bot for that that could translate. Something might get lost in the translation of course.. but it might make it harder to tell it's a bot. I've never been able to make up my mind as to whether it's best to have one si...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

One bot in a game I am playing doesn't respond to press and doesn't enter orders until right before the deadline. Is this a programmed characteristic or unintentional behaviour? Definitely unintentional, I've got nowhere near that level of control at the moment, it seems I can only switch the bots ...

Re: webDip hosted full-press AI live

I am curious. Is it dipgpt1? Because, if it is, it must be a characteristic trait; it did it to me, too. The bots behaved very well; if I weren't aware that there were bots, I'd thought I was playing with quite laconic guys. And they stab, too! I am not a great player, so my evaluation may be point...
