To you in For fun-20
Whoever you are that wants a pause - how are we supposed to talk to each other to unpause later in an anonymous gunboat? That's why I'm not voting pause and I'm sorry if I'm a dick.

Book of Mormon
Just got back from NYC where I watched Book of Mormon. If you're a fan of South Park, I cannot recommend you watch this highly enough.

There were a few people there who clearly had no idea what was happening and were horrified; it made it all the better.

Stop the bullies......
....... I would be interested to know how many other people have been abused (or amused) by e-mails from the 'experts' on this site because they played in an anonymous game and the 'expert' didn't like something you had done, so waits until the end of the game to e-mail abuse.

Game Glitch
link: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=81163#gamePanel

I believe there was a glitch in this game. As you can see, in spring 1904, the fleet in rumania attacked the fleet in the black sea which was convoying an army into sev. this attack should have prevented the convoy even though it had support from Armenia.

Ghost Ranking
So someone explain to me how a player like Dizzy (userID=34274) can jump to ghost ranking of 11 just from playing live games, when great players like Ivo, Crazyter, uclabb etc actually play real ones

Suppose the average player in a game with MM has 200 GR:
2/35*(876.89+5*200) or approx 107 GR points.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
24 Feb 12 UTC
Even with five noobs:
2/35*(876.89+5*100) or approx 78.6 GR points
That's a shitton
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
24 Feb 12 UTC
Imagine what your GR will do if you solo with MM and Babak. :)
Now that's just not possible haha
ghug (5068 D(B))
24 Feb 12 UTC
You just have to get them fighting early and then form a triple (or quintuple if you can pull it off) to kill them both simultaneously before they realize what's going on and mount a defense. Then you just have to find a way to solo against four people who were smart enough to see through Marx's sweet-talking. Piece of cake.
First you have find out who they are, since they only play anon games, ghug

27 Feb 12 UTC
hey, this just got brought to my attention.
Firstly Agent K, how come you assume I'm not a great player ;), and I came to this site after having played F2F games a lot, so I guess that's why I like playing live games as I personally believe they are the closest to them. And to any critics, I'm trying to move into invitational games, as i would like to play some more longer phase games that supposedly carry more kudos on this site. But anyway, thanks for all those who complemented me in this thread
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
27 Feb 12 UTC
@Dizzy,
Would you like to participate in an invitational game that I will set up? It will also include Yellowjacket, an up and coming player with 44% win rate -only slightly lower than your own. Please let me know.
Dizzy (0 DX)
27 Feb 12 UTC
As you can see, many of my points are tied up atm, but as soon as some become available, i will let you know
If I might butt in, I never got to finish my invitational with YJ, and I'd be interested in squaring off against a fellow great power in the live game world, especially if it's going to be a little while starting.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
27 Feb 12 UTC
nice, I already scared PE into quitting once, I'd love an opportunity to repeat. I'm fine with waiting till Dizzy frees some points up. I want time to recover from last game :P
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
27 Feb 12 UTC
It will be at least a week from today (YJ has asked for the same thing).
Points won't matter at all, Dizzy. We can make 5-point game as it's only the GR that matters here. It will of course be anon, WTA, 36-48 hour phase.

So far:
1. Dizzy
2. Yellowjacket
3. President Eden

Dizzy's and YJ's critics such as Agent K, now's the time to step up and give them a good whooping -IF YOU CAN!!!!!
Dizzy (0 DX)

It's not just the points that matter, it's also my time, busy at the moment, might have to be in a short while, but loving the calibre of players signing up

@dizzy, how about two or three weeks? I am in no hurry.
@YJ, I will add jmo here. Let's see if he mans up. :0

1. Dizzy
2. Yellowjacket
3. President Eden
4. jmo???
5. Agent K???

Bump for quality players.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Hell, why not? Eden owes me a game too. I'll play unless YJ is sick of me or I don't meet your standards.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
29 Feb 12 UTC
Many are called, but few are selected, or however that goes. I think my intent of the game is for the elders to show that these newbies just got lucky so far or for the young guns to show that the oldies are just slow and living in the good ol' past. So, if you don't mind, ghug, I will add your name to the pool but the spots will be reserved for the top ranking players.

1. Dizzy
2. Yellowjacket
3. President Eden
4. jmo???
5. Agent K???

Pool: ghug
You can add me to the pool as well, zultar. YJ and Dizzy would be the young guns I assume?
Babak (26982 D(B))
29 Feb 12 UTC
if its anon I'm interested. please PM me though as I rarely get on the forum's these days.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
29 Feb 12 UTC
LOL, I literally just PMed you as soon as you posted. :)
Check the time stamp.

It will of course be anon.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
29 Feb 12 UTC
Recap:

1. Dizzy
2. Yellowjacket
3. President Eden
4. Babak
5. zultar
6. jmo???
7. Agent K???

Pool: ghug, goldfinger0303

YJ and Dizzy are the young 'uns. Well, me as well actually.
And no gentleman, there are no particular reasons for the order of the list. So don't get worked up.
Looks like a good game with peeps I haven't played before. I'm interested if there's a spot.

so you've all been waiting for them. i downloaded the 22 pages of live gunboat wta games on the standard map from jan+feb. and i ran them. these are the top 31 users. would have done top-30 but i recognized the name santosh. not sure if there's a bug in the code cause i don't think 2ndwhiteline should be in the top-100.

In-Game Notes possibility?
Hey. Is there any chance that a notes function could be added to games? I think it would help some of us that don't generally write out elaborate EoG's to have the ability to include something, even if it is just terse notes like:
