"No girls allowed" -- new game with regular pot
The title is a joke for those sexist posts about whores... I have seen no girls jumping on the neck of anyone, so I assume they are very tame, or that they are not allowed...
I indeed want to exclude multis and other jerk that harm a good game. Calling "girls" to them is an insult for the fair kind. Not even "Worms" is a good name for them.
So please, enter if you want to PLAY DIPLOMACY, not just grab some easy points. There are better methods for that (as Jesuschrist has proved) that do not bother good players.

How did you find us?
I can't get the ball rolling :-( but were you searching? (for what?) friend? link? forum? usenet? sourceforge?

I've posted links myself on rec.games.diplomacy, and there's a sourceforge/freshmeat project page, but I get the impression most have come from other places

The old fashioned way - a google search, followed by clicking on lots of different links that somehow led me here.
Google IMAGES. I don't remember exactly why I happened to run an image search while searching for a place to play online (probably by accident), but this site was nowhere to be found in the standard google search.

I don't remember exactly. I think the first time I found it was through Wikipedia, but that was several years ago, before the full rule set had been implemented, so I just put it down as "something to watch" until the full rules were implemented. After that I think I generally found it through google searches for "online diplomacy game" and such. I checked up on it every so often, and the last time I found it was in the state it is now! with the full rules implemented! I was very excited, and immediately sent out a mass e-mail to get other friends to join me on the site, so far I've been in three games with friends and friends of friends, and it's been pretty great.

Nothing that visionary :-( After an FTF game I thought a web version would be good, and a few months later I found myself with some time for a project

Interesting results, a lot more through wikipedia than I would have thought

Ranking system
There has been much talk about inflation and the somewhat deceptive way that players are ranked. I suggest a new ranking system. I apologize if this suggestion has been made in the past.

First, set a weight to each time of end game

3 points for wins
2 points for draws
1 point for survival
0 points for defeats

Sum = Rank points
_______________________

Second, calculate the player's point pool.

Current total + Bets placed in current games played = Point pool
______________________________________

Third, combine the Point pool and the rank points

Point Pool * Rank Points = Rank Value
________________________________

Finally, Rank Value is used to set up the rank of players. Higher value, higher rank.
______________________________________

The weights for ranking may need modification, but i think this system works pretty well. Im sure there will be much critiquing, but i welcome it. If we can design a good system, we could have a better ranking system that better indicates skill, something i think everyone wants.

I have a question about letting a game run
The three remaining players in our game have agreed to let our 12 hour turns run while I am gone. They will most likely be able to go in and place hold moves, but will mine go into CD? If after 2 turns or 3?
