Are we doing anything special to facilitate learning? (ie. EoGs, etc?)

[AleaIactaEst]

I assumed that this was just a nice topic title... but I'm very happy to take some note to write a decent EoG, and would be glad if others did the same.

[jasnah]

I AAR just about everything - no problem at all :)

Ah damn I don't think I can do 4 games right now

Also, I will not be writing anything due to a combination of being busy and being lazy but others are free to do as they wish.

[Durga]

Ooh, can I play as the last? I am not amazing at GB but I have been speedboating nearly daily (Claesar and NEFS can testify) and know the basics :)

I testify in support of jas

You don't need to! I have a feeling I'd love to play with them

[Durga]

Oh, I will make the games on Monday and send out the links :)

count me in as well. I can't even count how many games I'll be playing at once. I'm excited.

[Peregrine Falcon]

By Jove, aren't you in the 7 gunboats flight as well?? I have no idea how one can handle so many games... I can barely handle one!

Indeed in Top 100 GR series flight A along with this haha.

[Durga]

Link to the first two games sent! God this map hurts my eyes but yolo. Let me know if you didn't get an invite for some reason.

I assume someone else will take the lead on the other two games? If they haven't already started

[Peregrine Falcon]

Where've you been playing that makes you unused to the webDip map? And for curiosity's sake, what do you think should be improved?

[tobieee911]

Teccles's games are already at Autumn 1901

Probably Backstabbr

-map needs to be bigger, as does almost everything on the site, half the screen is out of use on a modern monitor :D
-units should pop out more and should be coloured according to owner (you get used to knowing that if it hasn't got a box then it belongs to the province owner, but that's really unintuitive)
-order arrows should be thicker and stand out more, should have borders so they don't clash so much with the map, and support orders should be drawn in a way that better shows which way they're supporting a unit

Yeah, once you get used to the backstabbr map it's hard to go back to webdip. It's so much prettier.

[Peregrine Falcon]

Yeah, backstabbr's definitely more aesthetic. Especially now that I've learned you can also make it colour provinces, I like it much more than I had in the past.

There's a couple thing I prefer about webDip when compared to backstabbr, though. (Partly because I've played almost exclusively here for seven years.) Mainly, with the colours, it's much easier to distinguish support holds from moves on webDip. Same goes for convoys. Backstabbr doesn't even try to show on the map what the fleet's actually doing. I find it makes it a bit easier to see what's going on when just glancing over the webDip board.

Somewhat unrelated, I've also been wondering about the feasibility of switching webDip's map drawing over to being vector-based? I know almost nothing about our map-drawing code, however.

[Durga]

Now that I'm not playing mafia I'll play another one, any takers?
