Jun 2015 GR Challenge - Game 1 EOGs
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=163864
Result: Two-way draw between England and Turkey (my first two-way draw!)

This was honestly a pretty cut-and-dry game for me. I can almost never say, but aside from small details, I wasn’t really once surprised by anything that happened in this game. I had fun, though, mostly because Austria-Turkey and England-Turkey are both fun alliances. EOG below.

Reliability Ratings and drop outs
We all have games where players losing drop out, but there are some which get utterly ruined by guys in pivotal positions going AWOL. Is it time that players who are proven unreliable have to sit out for a period?

So, HOW ABOUT THOSE METS?! :D Oh, and NFL WEEK 1 PICK 'EM!
Hi. What's new? :3 Um, something something Shakespeare...
And it's NFL Pick 'em Time...yes, time to pick a new commissioner! ;) Or, you know, divisions, wild cards, conference title games, and the Super Bowl winner. And of course the week by week picks--Steelers/Patriots go tomorrow, Sunday notables include Broncos/Ravens, Chargers/Lions, Giants/Cowboys, and my OH GOD WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE BLACK JERSEYS?! 49ers play Monday night! The Week 1 match-ups...pick 'em!

webDip-vDip crossover
Hello webDip!
I hail from your sister site, vDip, where I run under the handle TheatreVarus.
We are severely starved for players at the moment, and were hoping some of you could join up.
We have many available variants, including my current favorite, Viking Diplomacy.

Also Webdip has that HUGE live game population
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
09 Sep 15 UTC
Oh I see, it is.
Yes, it is basically GR, Yoyoyozo. You get a game by game breakdown on how much you won/lost as well. Its slightly unbalanced at the moment due to the effects the massive variants (34 players) have when someone solos or there's a small draw.
Devonian (891 D)

Yoyo, Yes and no.

It's intended to be like a live version of GR. It updates after every game, not every month.
It takes into account the skill of the opponent, just like GR.
It adjusts for game size. Winning a 2 player games is (and should be) different than winning a 34 player game of chaos.
It excludes some maps that are too imbalanced. (I don't know who determines the qualifier "too imbalanced")
Well, I have an issue with the game size adjustment, as I've mentioned. The top guy on the list http://www.vdiplomacy.net/hof.php?userID=1459 basically got all his points from two solos. Which, I mean yes you should reward good play with lots of points, but 1500 D for two games is a bit much imo.

Devonian (891 D)

I think it is adjusted too much for size also. But its not a bad system overall.
Oh no, certainly not. I like any system that puts me in the top 40 :)

Anyone for a VS tournament? Have Vdip and Webdip pick a team, and play a series of games ( for the honour of the website ) each team gets to decide on three games from their site that they want to play, and... Cake for the winners?

I've alwasy thought that vDip is much more developed than webDip, the only problem is it has few users. But webDip has not many users either, it's not easy to get live games for instance

I think we have a good population. We just dont have a population who can guarantee they can stay on the computer for the hours it takes to complete a live game.
principians (881 D)

The only reasons I still play here instead of vDip is
1. live games
2. If I'm not sure whether I won't miss phases (because I have a clean RR there)

What if a vdipper crosses over here, but they really feel like they *belong* here? Are they still a vdipper? Or through self a identification do they become a webdipper?

So even if a vdipper comes to believes his very presence at vdip to have been a universal mistake, and he adopts webdip mannerisms, including inquiries as to whether someone is knew here and occasionally defending himself from specious attacks for his libtardism.... Still, despite this all you would continue to label him a stinking vdipper?

EXACTLY when does a game end?
In my set of rules, rule XIII indicates that possession of a SC only occurs after fall retreats have been completed. On this site, it seems that for purposes of determining a solo victory, a victory is declared following the fall diplomacy phase prior to retreats. For clarification: on a fall turn that great power A takes its 18th SC but great power B could then retreat into into one of country A's SCs, is country A awarded a win prior to that fall's retreats? Thank you.

Returning after a four year break...

Am I the only person that doesn't understand why they page layout is so narrow? there is significant space in the right and left margins for order information, game state information, and everything you need at a single glance, instead of all the scrolling i have to do. the layout is especially important because the page has to be refreshed constantly.

Suggestion
This website should have statistics for each country of each map (wins, draws, losses, etc.) like vdiplomacy.

I know this is a feature request and I'm supposed to check the todo list, but the forum that the "todo list" link directs to doesn't seem to have been used since last year, and I can't seem to find the actual list anywhere.
