If you would ever intend to make variations in the game, here is a list of the ones that already exist:

Could someone please explain why the "battle of europe" (ID=189) game hasn't yet changed phase?
There are six remaining and active players, with one eliminated, and all those remaining have finalised thier orders.

My friend Beatboxmaster and I are going on a trip until Saturday and wont have internet access, so we apologize in advance to the people in all our games for not putting up a fight. We also realize the unfairness we present when already allied from the beginning of the game, so we will in future abstain from participating in the same games.

Sorry to be a pedantic moron, but when you create an army, it should say "create an army at ..." not "create a army at ...". lol, ur all prob going 2 have a go @ me now, feel free, but OCD made me post this. "Shitface" will back me up herre (I hope)

Apart from the “Create a army” problem, are there any other spelling or grammatical errors in the game?

Shouldn't Russia be able to place a new fleet on the north coast of St. Pete?

Otis and RooT..I am waitin for u!!!

All ppll invite to Conquer the Follow!! gogo

Hi!
It's the 4th game I make part of (also took a nation under civil disorder, which doesn't count), and I always get Turkey!
I'm starting to wonder if it is some kind of bug?

Maybe just bad luck? heh

In our ConqueredWorlds game, The Dark Lord has lost a SC and was to disband a unit.
He intended and gave orders for his F RUm to disband, but this turn his F Baltic Sea was disbanded.
What's going on?

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but I'll post it anyway.

I have just captured Spain with a fleet from West Med in spring. Now I want to support move my fleet in Mid Atl to Portugal from Spain. But that isn't possible. But the southcoast of Spain borders Portugal, so I don't know why I can't support. Maybe b/c the territory isn't officialy mine yet?

I was looking up Diplomacy on Wikipedia and I read about Colonial Diplomacy and other 'official' variations.

I was thinking maybe a kestasjk version of Dipomacy might be interesting? You could 'improve' Diplomacy with your own ideas. So for example the unbalanced weakness of Italy could be addressed or you could go nuts and set it on Mars or something. Doing all the coding must bring up loads of ideas.

(I hope this isn't heresy or something.)

I noticed the slow motion replay function for watching my glorious defeats over and over again is gone. That was quite good for beginners to see how the good guys play.

Hey all. Just joined the online Diplomacy community and I cannot wait to get started. Looking forward to interacting with you all!

There's no password, I mainly want new people but anybody is welcome.

I wanted to say hi to everyone. I just joined the community and I'm looking forward to getting involved and playing some games.

The upgrade is really good, but there are a few things. One of my game keeps coming up with an error on the database loading, and so i cannot enter it - possibly you could look at this.
Also, is this current source up on the SF site yet?

Maybe it's for more games, but for GameName I kept getting an error every few seconds making it very hard to make my moves, something about my game membership or the likes.

I'm interested to know why .75 and not 1.

Seems great to me. What else would you want to change?

Whoever is doing the coding for this I Love It.
Everytime I log on I don't know what on earth is going to happen.
I still don't know what is happening.
Keep it up, it's very exciting.
And I might even win a game! Hooray!

Toady is the first time I've been able to open any page of this site without the message
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10seconds exceeded in /home/kuliukas/public_html/phpdiplomacy/objects/database_mysql.php on line 37"

I was dropped from four games due to inactivity, and at one point, I received 15 notifications that one game had started a new turn over the course of an hour.

So.... what? Four games!

Do you know the reason for the overloaded servers?

Come on folks it's been a week I'm in withdrawal!

All 3 games require a password, how can i join them without knowning where to access the password?

The earthquake off Taiwan has damaged many cables connecting China, Hong Kong, and many other parts of Asia to the US and Canada. It is extreamly unfair to the players in Asia who can't acess this site during the time the cables are restored. Is it possible next time to "pause" all of the games when a diaster like this happens again?

I've finished working on 0.75, I'm just going to be testing it a bit today and tomorrow.
The problem is that I'm going away for a week tomorrow, so I won't be able to tackle bugs as they crop up.

0.75 has lots of new code so is likely to have bugs, but because of better structuring 0.75 is less prone to problems because they're more effectively isolated, if there is a problem it'll be isolated to that game, or user, etc.
But 0.72 has been around longer and so is much less likely to have bugs crop up, but if a bug does crop up it makes the whole site inaccessible.

Just giving everyone some advanced warning so they know what happened if the site is inaccessible for a week starting the day after tomorrow

I have a small suggestion. I'd like to see the order's buttons (update, finalize, wipe) at the top of the order's frame. They now interfere with the sliding menues ... some might have a used mouse, some might have a bad connection or a slow computer, some might press the mouse two times by mistake.
It's not a problem if you press "update", it might be confusing if you press "finalize", but it sucks to press "wipe". :)

In the games MortalEngines and LindaLust, I've seen provinces formerly under a specific nation's flag turn neutral when a bounce occurred there. In both the times I've seen it, they were non-SC territories, but can this happen in places where there -are- supply centers? If so, I've found very a bad bug. :P

I've noticed a recent rush of players posting bugs and asking questions here. I'd like to suggest that these players at least scroll through the previous posts as every "new" bug has already been discussed. You might find answers to your questions far more quickly.

Okay question. I want to build new armies, I am England. I however have the option to build units in St. Petersburg and Belguim (territories I control) I understand this is against conventional Diplomacy rules, can this be fixed or should I restrict myself to building in my own country?
