I have a question on rules implemented in this version of Diplomacy to decide a game has ended up.
What if there are two blocks of opposing allied countries (not just two countries) that are so disposed on the map that one of them can stale any advancement of the other forever and for sure and hence no single country can get to 18 spots? Is the game declared over when no territory changes owner for a number of years?
Or can players do something to declare they had enough and they recognize the game is staled? What if one player (with some lack of fairplay...) decides he wants to go on? Does the game lasts for an arbitrarily large number of years?

Is there anyway players setting up games can choose the time limit between moves. currently i think it's set at 24 hours but 48 or 72 would be nice. and if it can't be done now then maybe the script could be changed to allow it. i hate missing deadlines and screwing up my games cause i'm busy.

Does anyone keep statistics on which country wins, or frequencies of opening combinations and their likelihood of victory, etc.? As the sort of Diplomacy nerd who likes stats, I'd be interested to know.

In the newly forming game "Peteria I", gamers Peteria and petertclo is the same person, which he himself verified to me during messages in other games. He purposedly JOINED with both accounts so he can give away territories. This time he cannot argue that he is helping his friend out of some shit as he himself formed and joined the game. Does the admin has the authority to ban or to kick one out of the game. I understand that new gamers tends to want more chances to practice and 100 pts isnt enuf to join games, so many would have 2nd accounts, but i strongly insist that they should not join the same game to avoid unfairness.

What punishment do metagamers get?

Hi, I can't spend my time playing properly right now, and I must ask Kestas to put my games in CD. My apologies for the inconvinience

I'm Italy in this game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1872, I tried to move from Venice to Piedmont, and Rome to Venice. But it said that the army moving from Rome to Venice is a stalemate, but the Army from Venice to Piedmont did succeed moving there, so I think there are definetly so problems in there.

I haven't been here long enough, but I can see that CD players are usually those who are unhappy with the way their game was going. Could there be a restriction at join time for players with a history of CDs? Or a way for them to resign so that there is not a constant 24 hour wait for time to expire? Also, could people be allowed to take over countries that have fallen below three units without penalty to their pot? That way they risk nothing for joining and helping out other games.

Two small code changes: Draws have been made possible, but they do need to be done manually

Also corrupt orders should now be recognized and wiped automatically, without causing problems beyond displaying a message saying an order was corrupted and wiped.

Both of these code changes are small hacks, draws need to be implemented more coherently and without requiring someone to draw a game by hand, and orders shouldn't be corrupted in the first place, but hopefully they'll do as a stopgap solution until I can fix them properly

How long does one can miss before being Civil Disorder ?

Hi people again,

I would like to create a game just for Brazilians (or anybody else wich speak portuguese...)
The url is:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1895

And the password is easy! It's the name of a typical dish of brazilian and portuguese cuisine. It's is a stew of beans with various beef and pork products.

I hope there is enough people to join this game!

See you soon...

this game is full of bugs... i have supported an army carried from a fleet and a message said me that this army dont accept the support...

Help! Kestas, the game "The Art of Diplomacy" gid 1791 has been stuck at 'due now' for at least an hour.

plz join last one wrong name

join it plz

Hi people!

Enjoy this new game!

It should be called "Bravery's game 2". I don't know why the name was not accepted...

Well, I'm waiting for you...

In this game http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1787 , I am Russia & I used Galicia to enter Rumania which was Austria's, supported by Ukraine, Sevastopol & Black Sea. Austria had Rumania, Bulgaria, Serbia & Budapest to hold & support hold. I used army in Constantinople to attack Bulgaria to break its support, so Austria should be left with 3 units to hold while I still have 4. Yet, it said "both units were equally matched so there was a stand off." In the sequence of moves reports, the Constantinople - Bulgaria move came after the Galicia - Rumania, is it possible that it's a computer calculation bug that the Southern moves come after the Northern moves & supports can't be broken?

this game cannot be entered; it always says 'assertion' not met and something like that.

Peteria 1 is open!!!

Kestas, can you check on game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1545
Russia and Italy kinda look like the same player, the italian player was created after russia started slipping, took over italy in a CD state, and only seems to post moves when russia post moves, also after more than two weeks, this is the only game the italian player is participating in?? seems fishy.

just anoter game for enyone to join but mostly noobs

i'm sorry, there are just some things on game mechanics i am not clear on and so i am junking up this forum with questions. unit b is supporting HOLD unit a. unit a is ordered to move, not to take a territory, but to cut support of an attacking unit, so unit a will remain where it started. will the support holds hold up the same as if unit a had just held, rather than moved?

when one wants to support an unit, does the supporter HAS to be adjacent to that particular unit and to the territory where the moving unit wants to move?

or just to the moving unit?

thanks

kestas, i sent you a message but i think i got the email address wrong. is it "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" or something else?

game only for new commers

mr.spock and revolver are the same people. metagame all the way. created on the same date.

I have created a new game called "The spanish", all are invited to play!!
