Paused Game
I have a game that was paused, but one player hasn't returned for 3 days (he is not the one that requested the pause) and everybody else is ready to go again. How long does etiquette demand we wait? Can we even GET somebody to unpause it?

Need a sitter
I have one game (a gunboat) that I need a sitter for. Can anyone help me out, please?
I assume there is no appropriate way to contact the people in the gunboat to request a pause.

Just a thought--since we have so many apt and opposing personalities on the site that frequently debate topics, anyone interested in a more formalized session? Format ideas and the rest inside--and definitely open to ideas here--but basically it'd be sort of like the forum equivalent of a live game: 5 minutes for posts on the topics given, and then 2 minutes for a rebuttal, one person goes after another...we'll select for an impartial debate moderator...points awarded by moderator, and so on?

Please, if you have the time, consider being a sitter for me!
The games are gameID=60453 and gameID=61014. I'm having sudden time commitments and am neglecting both games dreadfully - messages not responded to, barely entering orders on time, etc. The other players deserve better. Does anyone reliable want to sub for me until I get back on my feet? I'll greatly appreciate it!

Sorry for posting twice, but I realized the vital part of my subject got chopped off in the regular view. I'm not used to starting threads on the forum.

Putin Explains It All!
Well, ladies and gents of WebDip, I have opinions--so do you. That being said, my opinions are just that, opinions, and *I* don't have a clear, 100%, fail-safe answer to every single matter of running a nation.
LUCKILY, however, we here at WebDip DO have such an esteemed, enlightened individual, who, as has been evidenced time and time again, is correct no matter what. So, I give him the floor: Putin--please, explain how we might all prosper in a Perfect Putinist Polity!

LOL@Czech. With a CD Germany and an original CD Italy, and cheaters as ER, I think I did the only thing I could. Go to Por, Spain, and Mars to hold. I tried to get into Mun but that wasn't going to happen because ER are working together and E doesn't mind R just taking his SCs.

I am Austria, and I only NMR because my wife insisted that I water the plants before it got too late. Although, I've been very tempted to quit this game as it is an OBVIOUS meta/multi between Russia and England -- there is NO WAY without communications that they could coordinate the way that they have. I am getting really sick of this on this site -- seems none of the offenders are punished and they just get to keep toying with everyone!

So, if we are to email the mods and we get no response, what recourse is there for a live game?

I think there are pretty obviously no mods on. MM, if they're found guilty, I'm sure they will be banned, have points blocked, etc. But the games are seldom cancelled, as I feel they always should be.

MichiganMan (5121 D)
10 Jul 11 UTC
No offense taken...I am sick of discussing my resign rate to be honest -- if people cannot understand that "real life" gets in the way then I have nothing to add to the conversation. That aside, however, all the "cheaters" are making me want to exact some retribution for them making me waste hours of my life so that they can dominate through cheating!
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Fair enough.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
This is unbearable. A mod was on damnit and this is blatant cheating and he chooses to do nothing. At least they look at games on Facebook and ban cheaters.

LOL, survive/defeat is the same thing. The winner is an obvious cheater. We'll see if the mod does anything at all. This was blatant.
MichiganMan (5121 D)

Either a multi or they were communicating -- way too many perfectly timed supports and complete lack of defensive positioning and stabs = LAME

zultar (4180 DMod(P))

Please email the mod about this game.
chenf (689 D)
10 Jul 11 UTC
Hhaa. I think they will see this thread and your email. I am lazy. :P
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Yeah, but it's harder to do nothing when multiple people are emailing about the same thing. A mod was on and chose to do nothing.
Im curious, do mods actually cancel games? or go back and cancel them? I’ve played 2 live games blatant cheats, didn't make a forum thread or a huge deal of it, followed what it says on the site to email the mods and give the game number and players. It’s been weeks for one and the other one happened last night and yet nothing has been done for either. So do they actually cancel the games or are they just there for a fear factor kinda thing?
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
10 Jul 11 UTC
@ all, especially zultar: I don't think you are being very fair to the mods (fortkonx) here. They have to make sure that there is definitely collusion going on between countries. They cannot rashly ban people because there are signs pointing to multi-accounting. While I agree that there should be something in place to cancel finished games that we ruined my multiaccounters, I don't think its fair to say "A mod was on damnit and this is blatant cheating and he chooses to do nothing."...
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
TrustMe canceled a game last night.
I've emailed them about two separate instances and NOTHING was done. In both instances, I gave them the way and several games where the cheaters played together and helped one another win ALWAYS, even sacrificing themselves.
I'm at the point where I think emailing the mods does jack shit and I will just play passworded games with people I can trust. That takes away a big part of available games, but these egregious behaviors cannot and should not be tolerated.

interpretation of rule 5?
"5. The Pause/Unpause feature is not a diplomatic tool
The pause is there to stop players missing their orders, but is not part of the game. As such pausing or unpausing should not be used for diplomatic gain, such as refusing to unpause unless other players will draw the game. If it is being abused staff may step in to sort it out."

Bug in the "Threads/Replies" part of a players profile
I'm assuming others have noticed this, but if you haven't, it takes awhile for a thread or reply to actually appear there. And if you have too many, the page will crash. Does anyone know what governs this behavior? As best I can tell, the number of posts missing is somewhat proportional to the number of posts you've made.

So, with NASA's final space shuttle launch today, where does that leave the US (and international space program)? Is this even something to be sad about or should we be focusing our cash-money elsewhere, anyways?
