diplomacy dislodge question.
Yeah quick question.
Lets say you have countries A and B.
If they each have one piece attempting to move into an empty territory but during that turn, Country A gets dislodged, does the standoff still occur or does B move into its desired territory? Thanks in advance.

What's the name of a picture/movie that changes and transitions smoothly in a loop?
So what I mean is that you don't really notice it's a loop unless you're paying close attention because the end of the loop fits perfectly on the start of the loop. There's no strong feeling of repetition. Just a 'background' continuously moving.
Just looking for the word for such a thing. I saw one quite a while ago and thought I could use one of those in a design, but now I finally have the time to do something with it, I forgot what it's called :-(
Help me webdip!

WebDiplomacy History Thread
After hearing about that Congo shit I was wondering what other scandals/notorious players/legendary stories there are buried in the annals of this site. I assume some of the elder players would know some of the lore I speak of and can weave some tales of old?

Hated him with all my guts. He called everyone "friend" in press games, but was a condescending jerk on the forums. And considering how much I hate him, calling him "idiot" is borderline worship coming from me.

Has anyone seen the film Nightcrawlers with Jake Gyllenhaal.
This for me is the real MeepMeep, I only wish we could have seen him playing chess, riding a bike or a few more barking dogs, that would have proved beyond all reasonable doubt that MeepMeep is a Nightcrawler.

Gold finger and ninja what was the bearnstein situation?
I tried looking through his posts, but most appear unsearchable now. He was part of a group of high schoolers who were metagaming. A fairly well known player on the site, they all took turns outing each other in public and it was a big deal at the time.

He did try sneaking back to the site during my tenure as a mod, which is the only reason I really know the story.

Once upon a time, Bayclown, there was a great and glorious hero named Agent K.

He won game after game on WebDip...
He saved the Earth from alien cockroaches...
He contracted Tommy Lee Jones to play him in a movie version of his life story...
He scaled the ranks, and earned our regard...

In short, he was a model agent.

And then, one day, a snake induced him to eat of the Tree of Knowledge...
After which three witches told him he'd become the next king of Scotland...
After which he made a Faustian bargain with a duplicitous devilish figure...
After which he took performance-enhancing drugs and bashed 73 Home Runs...

And then, one day, he was revealed--

HE WAS A MULTI!
AND THE HUNT FOR MULTIS WERE ON!
MULTIS WERE SUDDENLY *EVERYWHERE!*

IF YOU COULDN'T PROVE YOU *WEREN'T* A MULTI...BY GOD, YOU WERE A COMMUNIST, ER, MULTI!

And thus it was that Agent K, once one of the most favored Knights of the WebDiplomacy Table, was tried, convicted, hung, drawn, quartered, and thus was the fall of this great tragic hero complete!

Is it normal for people to sign up for very slow games (10 days/phase) and stay quiet?
I am relatively new to webDip. From the little experience I have here, I get the impression that it is not uncommon for very slow games to be pretty quiet. I've had no replies at all from some parties, even though they are giving orders. Is this usual? I thought very slow games would have lots and lots of diplomatic talk.

Control active game play time option ?
Hello,

What if it was possible to control the time allowed for game play, such as, "game only active between the hours of X & Y". Then shorter phase games could be played more easily and not at strange hours of the night. Thoughts?

NFL Pick 'em Week 12: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...eh, Buffalo? ;)
So, with Buffalo's game postponed until Monday (and moved to Detroit as, um, Buffalo's sort of buried under snow) and the Raiders having won their first game of the season--and in more than a year!--vs. the rival Chiefs, we enter Week 12. The Lions and Patriots meet in a big clash. Rams//Chargers is an intriguing match-up. Cardinals/Seahawks up in Seattle, and Ravens/Saints on a suddenly-crucial Monday Nighter. Week 12... pick 'em!
