Anyone for a summer game
Hello, as summer is coming I am finding myself reluctant to join in games as we often go away for the weekend with no internet access. Therefore I have a proposal:

Dropping the atom bomb
I haven't really discussed this since College and just taught it in my class. I was wondering peoples thoughts on whether or not the dropping of the bombs were justifiable or not. I have always had a hard time with this question, and would be interested in hearing some thoughts.

Game Search Filters Not Working
I'll test more but right now the most obvious is finished games -> won.
This filter is showing me games that were a mere survival (which would be fine) but its also showing me plenty of games where the player definitely lost.

I am so proud of the students at NKU.
When Westboro threatened to stage one of their protests at a local soldiers funeral, the students gathered strong enough to show them down. Of coursem the Westboro cowards didn't actually show, but still... Way to go NKU! You make us proud.

Best WD Games?
So. I like to go through the finished games and look to find the best games. Anyone have any particular games they really liked that I might be interested in? They can be games you were a part of, or just games you found at one point, like I do sometimes, that you thought were really good, or very interesting.

Thanks.

MODs please help: need to pause a game ASAP
Hello, I am currently playing in "Ontario Diplomacy League Game 4". It is a game me and my friends set up and the first we have played on this site (for most of us). One of us just went camping for a week, and we only now realize that you have to pause the game unanimously for it to work. Since he has no access to a computer, we can't do that. Is it possible for someone to force pause it for us until May 4th? Thanks!

Smartphones and webdiplomacy
What kind of operating system and/or type of device is required to be able to put webdiplomacy orders through a smartphone?

Well, both Android and iOS have web browsers. You can just visit the site.
fortknox (2059 D)
21 Apr 11 UTC
yeah, the droid browser does a decent job. I've toyed with the idea of making an app for it, but a mobile site may be the better option (unfortunately, I'm no css guru).

Since Android supports Java development, this code base might be useful for someone looking to create an Android app.

So should I get a smartphone with android browser or just about anything is ok?
fortknox (2059 D)
21 Apr 11 UTC
Android supports Java, but uses it's own libraries and such. It is the tying into the webdip site that I'd see as being difficult (unless kestas has services built into the back-end).
fortknox (2059 D)
21 Apr 11 UTC
android and iOS work. I'd get the dolphin browser for an android phone because I find it a better browser than what is built in, but most smart phones should handle the sit alright. It isn't perfect, but it'll do in a pinch.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))

iPod touch also works. Fairly sure all smartphones work so its not a problem. As long as you don't get it from Offthebackofakoreanlorry.com or something, that is.

iOS, Android, and Blackberry all work reasonably well, but all have some caveats. I use Android all the time and ably find the lack of the text area scroll to be problematic. Well the automatic correction of spelling on occasion but I can turn that off if I choose.

I've got a Windows 7 Phone, and it works fine. In fact I've ran the DATC test cases using it :-)

I don't know about the iOS 4, but on the original iPhone, and the 3g one entering orders was a pain in the ass because of the way the browser loaded the pull down things. I use my Original Droid with Dolphin browser to enter most of my orders in my games. works as well as if I was on my computer. Just wish my screen was bigger so I could look at the map and my orders at the same time.
yebellz (729 D(G))
21 Apr 11 UTC
Entering orders on the iPhone is quite annoying. Dealing with the drop down menus zooms in on the item and fills half the screen with the options, so basically you can see only one (or only part of one) order at a time. It makes it easy to miss things like "via land/convoy". Screwed up quite a few times using it.

If you want to use it regularly, I'd warn you against the Blackberry, because entering orders is a real pain in the ass.

Ghost +1 but on a previous thread, people recommended Bolt and Operamini, 2 separate browsers that help make life easier for those of us stuck with the blackberry

Is the dolphin browser that much better for android?
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Apr 11 UTC
I have to agree with Ghost on the Blackberry. If you do go with one, change to one of the other browsers cause the Blackberry browser is crap for the site.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Apr 11 UTC
@Crazyter - I used Blot. Kept meaning to try Opera Mini, but then upgraded to the Android OS on a Samsung Intercept.

all the smartphones I found at the price range I'm interested in (maximum 300$) use android, symbian or opera browsers.
I have only found 1 smartphone using Dolfin 2.0.
that's Samsung Wave 723 (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Wave-723_id4867)
if Dolfin browser is that good maybe I should get that one ;)
hellalt (24 D)
21 Apr 11 UTC
hmm it actually says bada operating system but it seems this is a version of Dolfin right?

The dolphin browser is a free download that should work on pretty much every android phone.
Nebuchadnezzar (483 D)
22 Apr 11 UTC
I used the browser that comes with android for a 5 mins no-messaging online game :D it works perfect with it. But when the real diplomacy kicks in it may not be that easy to play =3 But that's rather related with your phone input method and your skills in writing messages fast :D

iPhone is great for diplomacy.
Puddle (413 D)

Yea Hellat, dolphin is an app on android, not an OS. One other thing, never refresh the forum page right after you make a post with dolphin, as it will repost it.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
22 Apr 11 UTC
@Crazy and Draug, I've been using Bolt browser, and its still much less than ideal. But at least its usable, unlike the standard browser.
hellalt (24 D)

Does screen size and resolution also play a significant role for playing diplomacy on a smartphone?
fortknox (2059 D)
22 Apr 11 UTC
hellalt, yes, of course, the bigger the screen, the easier it is to click the right boxes and see the map. I an Evo4G, which is an enormous screen that does the job for me.

quick question
if two units move toward each other, the move is canceled. correct?
as in, if an army in munich moves to tyrolia, and an army in tyrolia moves to munich, then both unit simply bounce. in other words, they do not switch places.

how do you pause?
I tried to pause a game by pressing the pause button, but nothing seemed to happen. Do you need a majority vote to pause the game? A unanimous vote? Thanks for letting me know.

Online mods?
Are there any online mods that could intervene in a game, were ONE player refused to pause, causing a player to go into civil disorder (because of a fire alarm)... he is refusing to cooperate with everyone, and we wish to cancel.
