Since this is the hotbutton topic, my suggestion is that the formula should be based on a number of -parameters-. A weightage is attached to each parameter and the algorithm worked from there.

My opinion is that there should be 2 rankings, 1. Form 2. Lifetime Achievement.

Form just applies the ranking to the last 5-10 games whereas Lifetime achievement applies as per its name. This is so that any formula does not give a false indication based upon length of participation.

Parameters
---------------
Number of games played
Number of games won
Number of games survived with more than 8 SCs
Number of games survived


Of course feel free to comment on the parameters and any that might need addition

I am new in diplomacy... this will be my first game. However, I've played RISK for over 3 consecutive years daily... So I learn fast.

Since it's part of France, Corsica should always be the same color as Marseilles, not Tuscany. Sardina should be the same color as Rome.

Do people think it would be helpful to have in addition to a general rating, a specific rating per each country.

ie username:
gen. rating - diplomat
france - mastermind
england - diplomat
russia - diplomat
italy - experienced
etc.

It would be useful to the user and their opponents. Comments?

Hello. Starting a new game, and we need three more players.

Is there any way to leave a game that you joined on accident or leave if your going to be gone for a while, that way you don't hang a game up and ruin the experience for everybody, the least that could be done would be to add a conformation when you click to avoid accidental clicks, maybe a capcha would work...

rror triggered: An assertion, $this->mode != DIPLOMACY or (count($this->USERMEMBERSHIPS) == 7 and count($this->MEMBERSHIPS) == 7), was not met as required..

The details of this error have been successfully logged and will be attended to by a developer.

I think that the end of phase time displayed should be changed in one of two ways. Either, it should display with more accuracy the time, or it should instead round the time down. The current method rounds the time to the nearest hour whilst it is a long way away, but this is very awkward since I'm not sure how long I can wait because of that - there is almost an hour of flex for the time, although I'm not sure when in this bracket the times sit...

join War!

this is a disappointment to me if a one account per IP will be enforced my brother and I just started playing and we are in the same house on the same computer.....we never plan on joining the same game and allying but if need be im sure we can play on the same account

Join de_dust! A great game for Counter Strike lovers everywhere! And if you don't play or like Counter Strike, feel free to join anyway.

I just looked at the game of the same name... THE YEAR IS 1935! Has this ever been broken? Is either side going to give in and just hand a recource center in already? Are they going for some kind of record? Why am I asking so many questions?

if what happens do you go into civil disorder? i've heard it's not entering a game for three days, and i've heard not finalizing orders twice in a row, and a bunch of other things.

When a game is nearing its end and the only countries remaining have been involved in an alliance, why can't they propose a treaty to have all or some of them identified as winners. It doesn't make sense to ally with a country and then have to break the alliance at the end just to finish the game.

your game is waiting on one person to send orders and that person is in over 50 games with 42 of them currently requiring orders. I am all for limiting the number of games entered at one time. This is like a chess match where Bobby Fischer is playing 50 people at the same time except the person is not as goood or as fast as Bobby Fischer.

...in 'due now'

As a member of several current games, I would like to apologies for missing several moves. This may have caused notable troubles for my allies, although looking around it does seem that my absence has caused more good to other players - especially in one game where my stalemate line has been broken. Just to say, I am hopefully here now, so don't try and take advantage of the situation any more!

This leads me also to comment on two items:
1) Please can players have a button on their settings that would let us leave _every_ game we are in. This would mean that one could go on holiday and the like, but since it would leave all games it wouldn't be used to allow people to give up.
2) Is it really fair to work out peoples scores based on all games? If people loose out due to a bad net connection like this, it might completely wreck their score for ever. Indeed, how about for players who learn how to play? They are could easily end up with several rather crushing defeats, but after that very good figures. How about adding a start and finish date to all games, then scores can be calculated over a timespan...

Join The Game is... It's is a new game

New Game "Diplomacy2" is open to all, pro and beginners. Your participation will be appreciated.

kestasjk,
All the players have put in their moves (there is a check next to each name). But the game has not moved to the next turn. It has been in this phase for about an hour now (with all the players having check marks). What is the next step?
Thanks

join it. seriously.

In game helloo I received the following message from GM: "Autumn 1908, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Tuscany recieved stand support from the army at Piedmont, but couldn't accept it because your fleet at Piedmont tried to move"

That's quite strange even if you don't see the game map, for it states that I have an army at Piedmont (that tried to support Tuscany) and then states the opposite, that I have a fleet at Piedmont (that tried to move).

By the way, my unit at Piedmont is an army.

I can get to south coast of Spain from Western Med and Gulf of Lyon. Can I get to it from Portugal? From Portugal, will I be able to specify the coast?

"cause its monday" is open to anyone and everyone. So anyone scouring the game page for a open game, feel free to hop in. Cheers

How about when one creates a new game, they post their e-mail address in their profile?

There are any number of reasons that this persona might need to be contacted.

i play turkey and despite the fact i should have been able to retreat to bulgaria/sc, i was unable to do so and as a result i had to disband.
The province was mine and empty, and not in dispute.
Why did this happen?

open to all
