Wait what happened to that whole huge list of TA's, profs, and players? If it does happen, I'm good for Germany and England....and maybe Russia

Can I get on the list for TA alternate or primary? I'd really like to do this, and I don't doubt I would be competent.

As an aside, shall we set up a TAs game to run in parallel?

48 hrs would be better for my student.. I can easily get on once per day (I spend a good hour or 2 in the morning before work on this and VDip), twice per day is pushing it sometimes so that makes 36hr a little tight for me if my student desperately needs a sounding board...

I'd play in the TA's game as well.
I won't be in the TA game, unfortunately. I promised myself to play only one game at a time, and I'm at two already (they made me an offer I couldn't refuse).

@all students, just as a reminder, you should not post in the thread that will be made for this game. If you have any questions from the professor's posts you can ask your TA and they should be able to explain anything that isn't clear. If you can't get in contact with your TA's just send stratagos a pm and he'll get a replacement till your ta gets back.
And that applies to TA's as well, if I rememeber correctly. No-one posts in the thread except outsiders and professors.
By the way, I really sucks that I can't play the TA game, 'cause that's a nice line-up right there!
Kochevnik (1160 D)
14 Jan 12 UTC
Just to clarify, I volunteered as a TA, not a student, so I can TA for the second game. I think I was 80-somethingth in the GR the last month that I finished a game.

I don't really care which country I get, though I will say I (strangely, I know) dislike Russia somewhat.

ok, game started, i'd be willing to join the next one too as student again...
Leif_Syverson (271 D)
14 Jan 12 UTC
Can whoever makes the professor's comment thread put the game ID in the initial post for handy access by the TA's the professors, and any other observers?

Thanks. Good luck to all!

If a second game was to get started, I'm willing to help out. I'm 30th on the GR right now, so that looks like I fit the bill for a professor spot.

Time-wasters who team up with their mates.......
and enter anonymous games and team up against everyone else and usually but not always win. Then they spend all their time making sure they get 17 SCs each before drawing. Then flushed with their 'success' they start doing it in further matches. I just want to play a game with genuine competition where people win on merit and not because they teamed up with their schoolmates. How can this be stopped or how can I prevent getting stuck in games with these imbeciles?

this is what i think of people frowning upon me
i don't care.

what happens if you're playing a non-live game and the tides have turned, and it's clear your alliance will lose, and none of the opposition will defect? for live games, i usually play them through because it doesn't take too long to end them, but who wants to spend weeks playing a game that you will eventually lose?

Somaliland
Does anyone else ever get frustrated at the lack of international recognition of Somaliland? I find myself coming back to this subject over and over, trying to find any good reason to not recognize a democratic state in Africa with a history of free and fair elections, non-violent transitions of power, and relatively stable economic growth.

DATC and the known errors on this site
I took a look at the DATC tests here (http://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php) and noticed that 6.H (Retreating), 6.I (Building) and 6.J (Civil Disorder and Disbands) were all missing. Two of the most prominent errors on this site fall in this area (ending games before retreats and incorrect civil disorder disbands).

Failed move?!
Basicly the situation was that while playing as turkey in the late 1901 I moved my army from Bul to Gre and another one from Con to Bul via land, supported by a fleet in the black sea, but somehow the move failed and the army order is referred as hold in the orders log. My other army emptied Bul and noone else attacked there so why did the move fail? Any ideas?

Do the moderators reimburse points to players retrospectively when they find they were victims of cheating in previous matches?
Also on a general point why do so many people try and cheat, what is the point?

website does not always display all games / how do you resign a game?
The website does not always display all 4 of my games at the top. Therefore, I got into a game on the late end of the turn and got attacked because I couldn't negotiate from the beginning, and it is ruined once again. This would not have happened if I could have resigned the first 2 games. They continue to display at the top of the screen even though I want to quit. How do you resign / surrender?
Overall, I have had a much worse experience with this website than I expected.
