US - Rocky Mtn World Cup team?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say there probably aren't three more here from Montana... so let's extend the geographic area to the states in the Rocky Mountain region. Any chance there are enough interested parties to field a team for the next World Cup tourney?

Suggestion: Draw by centers
A lot of games end up with finishing off draw participants. Maximizing the outcome for the remaining powers. Not the best practice, from a certain perspective. Would it make sense to have the option for draws to not be equal. Everyone gets 1/7th (his entry cost) + a part of the rest, split proportionally to center count.

Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
03 Nov 10 UTC
Question: Does it take into account defeats when the game has yet to finish? For example, I have a game where I was the first one defeated (in Oct.) but the game is still ongoing. Is that counted in these rankings or the next set?
groza528 (518 D)
03 Nov 10 UTC
Another question: The explanation of "result" for PPSC is a basic percentage of centers available. Does the system take into account whether the game was actually won? I'm more proud of my 1-center draw than I am of my 8-center survive, for example.

I'm almost certain no Bombadil.
1 centre draw = draw.
groza528 (518 D)
03 Nov 10 UTC
Oh right, I forgot that game was WTA!
But... it seems like if it had been PPSC then, unless your "expected result" is defeat, a 1-center power who manages to turn that one center into part of the draw is going to lose rating for it, which doesn't necessarily seem right.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
03 Nov 10 UTC
All draws count the same. A 17 SC draw is worth no more than a 1 SC draw. Nor should it be.

Tom: figlesquidge is correct - the result of a game is not processed for GR purposes until the game has come to an end.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

Damn. I thought not. My jump up will be short lived then haha. Thanks figle and Jamiet

well, I must confess I'm surprised to find myself as highly ranked as I am... but I think I'm staring a few eliminations in the face so by December it should be much more realistic ;)

I am taking a (hopefully) long hiatus from the game in the near future - but I have to say I have very much appreciated playing with so many of you... But most important, I want to thank ghost from the bottom of my heart and the top of my head for his astounding amount of work to keep this site one of the absolute best communities to play the game in. webdip would not be the same without you. Behind kestas, you are the most important individual in this community - thank you.

Hey hellalt, you made 17 places up on me and, if it really makes you feel better, noob179 fell in the rankings and is now below me so you caught up something like 81 places on him.

If I had the continuity I would. The current reason I can't is that I'm going away for a few days at the end of the month, so won't have access then. Also, I've got to say I'm not sure I have the time for them - especially given how long I spend moderating this place!

Well, I really want to thanks Ghost for his effort on this ranking, it´s a hard work and a really well done one.
Also want to thanks Kestas and the other mods (Figle in special) to help us to have a such great moments playing on this site.
About the ratings, I always said that I don´t play for ratings or points, just for the fun, but it is always an honor to be in the top 20 for some months with such great players around.

Noob179 (645 D)
04 Nov 10 UTC
@ Hellalt:

as usual, the Greek Riot Dog distorts the truth. By my unofficial count, he and I have played the grand sum of five games.
1) we both survived, I had 11 centres, yhellalt had a measly 2. that was my VERY first game. Not bad for a Noob. And you totally lost it, to boot. What fun that was.
2) you won w/18 centres and I survived with 13. That is your sole victory over me.
3) you LOST, and I drew. I Lepantoed your pasty Greek butt. I consider that to be a victory over you.
4) we both survived, you had 4 centres, I had 3
5) in our most recent game, you drew, and I was defeated.

Not exactly an overwhelming verdict in either direction.

@holloway -- I had the coveted 666 last month
Draugnar (0 DX)
04 Nov 10 UTC
By my counts, that means hellalt has a win over you and you have none over him. You both drew once where the other was defeated and you had two survives together. Seems hellalt was more accurate than you. That is not an equal rating, that is hellalt beating you outright and you never actually beating him.
hellalt (70 D)
04 Nov 10 UTC
haha thx for the support Draugnar.
I was just trying to provoke Noob179.
I don't really believe I'm better than him.
But I also don't believe he's better than me until he proves in the field.
:P
Draugnar (0 DX)
04 Nov 10 UTC
Honestly, I don't deserve the 77th spot either. I got an easy win against a bunch of noobs plus Mafialligator and President Eden. That plus some draws in some respectable games go tme up there. But I'm barely survivng in a couple of others right now. Had one of them ended already, I'd probably be outside the top 100 right now.

Can a convoy cut support?
I'm about to convoy an army to a territory A, with support from an adjacent territory B. My opponent has a unit in territory A and a unit in a third territory C adjacent to territory B. I'm worried he may order terC-terB with support from terA. I know that this will cut support from terB and make the convoy fail, but will the convoy at least cut support from terA and make his attack fail as well?
Thanks!

chat room?
how much server strain would it be to set up a chat room for the live gamers? Working on the theory that you would then get to see who really was around, and whether or not it was worth starting a fresh game. Having the option to place icons after a name for things like "in a game" and "keen to play", and being able to show idle times and stuff like that?

Being new here I don't know if this has been discussed before but would be interested in feedback.
