2014 Webdiplomacy Tournament Replacement Player Needed
Board 4 is absent one player for the tournament. I am looking for someone interested in joining the tournament. Priority is given to players that can pay the $10 buy-in with emphasis on reliable players. If none are forthcoming, I would accept any reliable player. DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Message me privately since this is anonymous and you will be revealed after this board has completed.

This is worse than the Ferguson case. Pathetic.

'Twas the week before finals...
...and all through the town, not a fuck could be given, not a fuck could be found.

In order to distract me from my impending doom and the numerous professors attempting to dismantle my life in a single blow, who thinks they have the best not-giving-a-shit-about-finals story?

chluke - I haven't changed that. Here's how it works (and has worked for the last year or two):

* Live games start at the set time (where live is less than 60 minutes/phase, I think)
* Longer phase games start when the phase starts.

Cool new features, ATC.

Question - am I using the search games feature incorrectly or does it often mess up when you scroll through the pages while searching through a player's past games?

The new server features are great, and I don't want to sound whiny or anything, but might we ever get the click-to-move interface like I believe they have on vdip?

We're working on Reliability Ratings next, but it might take a while to test. In the meantime, I might do a few small interface improvements (like putting paused games at the bottom of the active games list rather than the top).

I have logged out, and back in.

I have cleared my cache, logged out, and logged back in.

I see no "move preview" button.

Can anyone help?

It's a little checkmark underneath the map, next to the next phase button for the map.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))

Under the map to the right of the "last phase" double triangle icon which is to the right of the next phase triangle icon. The move preview icon is a smaller triangle with a line or bracket next to it and a green check mark on lower right. It's the new icon that wasn't there before...

It says "Show server side stored orders on the map" when you hover your mouse over it.

^ on the right hand side of the map navigation icons.

This is where vdip had it, but you make a good point that it's not obvious. Maybe it should be text "save", "move preview", "ready". Hmm.
Jamiet99uk (848 D)
10 Dec 14 UTC
Oh, ok, I see it! Good work to the dev's!

Probably the mistake is calling it a "button" but hey, I see it now.
I see it but it doesn't seem to do anything when I press it. What am I looking for in the way of a preview?

We're going to put up a page for new features soon that people can check for recent changes. We'll have screenshots and instructions there next time we make a change like this one.

You might not have noticed this, but if you have preview open when you save new orders, the preview updates.

Crazy: refresh your page or clear your cache. For some reason the old scripts are being cached incorrectly by people's browsers.
Got it, thanks :-)

Fleet Moscow
Why can I not build a fleet in Moscow? It borders the Caspian and could be used in an attack against Turkey. I realise that there is a rule saying that units can't moved to unnamed spaces on the board, like Ireland, but why not move down the coast to Sevastopol and then to Armenia? This wouldn't be a useful move, but should it be allowed according to the rules?

Discount for taking over left position
Is it still under consideration to allow people to take of left positions for half price? This could encourage a lot more players to join games in progress. The pot has already been paid, so it's bonus money for the current players, and incentive to come in at a disadvantage (often).
