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!

@Tom, up until this point, I have not said one word about the mods. I've followed the directions and emailed them and inquired about progress.
Multiple people can and did attest to the behaviors of ER.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
10 Jul 11 UTC
I wouldn't be surprised if action is taken, but I don't think you can expect it to be taken while the game is going on. The mods might have to contact people if it is not an open and close case. Emailing the mods isn't always going to get an immediate response. They have lives too.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
10 Jul 11 UTC
I agree that you have done the right thing in emailing the mods, but I don't think you can rightly criticize them for doing nothing
I got to agree with zultar, I havn't been on the site for long, but its starting to get more common that cheaters and multi's are ruining live games. Sadly I don’t have the luxury like zultar to play with trusted players, making these ruined live games all I can rely on. So hopefully something can be worked out to fix this.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Ok. If actions are taken to ban the cheaters here or to erase the record of that game or something, then that's great. I shall be content to follow the established guideline as I have done.
If nothing is done, then I am not going to report anymore. If the site is overrun with multiaccounters and metagamers and that kind of behavior is tolerated, then good luck.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

@PnT, with your record, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get in some good games and play with highly respectable players.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Fair enough. Its just so hard to catch multiaccounters in live games. I think action (bannings) usually happen, but after the fact, and you still have a defeat on your record. It sucks, trust me I know. But that I think is just going to happen when playing live games unfortunately (unless we start paying the mods enough for them to quit their day jobs...)
Im workin on it, in one of Eden's invite games. Hopeing a good showing will help out for future invites. But its frusterating that the only thing i have is a good record and the last few attempts at live games have been ridiclous with CDs and multis.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Maybe if/when the 150cc club gets going again things will be much easier. Lets hope so.
Ya, i have high hopes for that it sounds very promising. Hopefully i can find my way into that, defiently sounds like the set up id enjoy playing.

Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

I just bumped the thread. There is a list of members as I think the first post. Also, I can sponsor you chenf if you need one.
Im in a invite game with a few of them, so hopefully i play well and get a sponsorship that way :) If not any time your looking for a player tom, let me know and ill gladly play.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
Could we program a new variant, semi-anon games, instead of having to do it manually (which is basically an invite game)?
The list of all the players will be shown, but the identity of individual country is not shown. You wouldn't know who is who, but you would know everyone who is playing.

I'll have to take you up on that sometime Pnt. Though I'm away for a few weeks, but when I get back, I'll shoot you a PM.

Thats a good idea zultar, but I don't imagine how hard it would be to code. You could always suggest it on the developers forum (which someone else would have to link you to as I don't know what the link is off the top of my head.)

Zultar. The mods are all volunteers here and deserve more respect than the shit I saw you fling just now like an angry monkey. I don't play live games for just the reason you describe but you should find 1 day plus games to be much more ethical in the Meta/multi area.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
10 Jul 11 UTC
@Draugnar: What you said was fair. I shall not say anything more regarding this game. Regarding live games, there is something to be said for live games. Many of us enjoy the thrill and the stress of having to make decisions on your feet. I like to play both types of games, and meta/multi are unfortunately rampant in the live games.
There was a lot of frustration on my part, I'll admit, partly due to the cheaters in this particular game and partly due to the non-response I've gotten when I have been patient, going through the proper channel.
The mods are volunteers. I understand that and I thank them for it.

Might I suggest you join the live club? 150cc I believe it is called. I'm a member, although I don't play Mich, but they do passworded games that are much more reliable and ethical as no multis or metastasis can get in their games.

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?
