PS: Apologies, start, the non-uniformity in the pattern has been bugging me for quite a bit, dropping my productivity on this site while I fretted over why all the Confirmed's weren't identical and why one note was in () braces while the other was in [] braces, so I did something about it. Use this one please, will you?

Like said before; I would like to join but was in the other game already, so wasn't allowed... Got kinda screwed in that game though and almost dead...
So maybe I'm allowed to join when you only miss students for example?
Just proposing...

DipperDon (6457 )

Not sure how this works, but I'll participate if you still need someone.

stratagos (3269 )
31 Jan 12 UTC

steephie - if we don't get a seventh, I have no problem with you joining.

Having said that, the goal is to spread the experience to as many people as possible, so another 'new' player will bump you.

Even though you don't feel you're going to succeed on the first game I would have hoped you gained something from the experience

Ok, found the link to the description. I can TA for Austria, or whatever is not yet assigned.

steephie22 (182 )
31 Jan 12 UTC

So, if there is another student the game could start if no one else bumps me out, but will you guys start immediatly with me? Seems logic but don't know for sure...

stratagos (3269 )
01 Feb 12 UTC

steephie - I'm not exactly checking this thing every hour. if one person signs up prior to us giving the start signal, you can be #7. If two or more do, you're out of luck

steephie22 (182 )
01 Feb 12 UTC

ok, got it.

Game #1 needs a sitter, is anyone willing to step up here?

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=77742

It's a little atypical, but Leif, you're his TA - would you be willing to sit for him?

steephie22 (182 )
02 Feb 12 UTC

the prior reason for this post is: bump...
also, the one it's about is probably dead in a year and he claims it's too time-devoted but next phase he'll probably make his last decisions...
so doesn't seem very neccesary to me really...

One more student and we can kick this off

5 point buy in

Join length 3 days
Classic Map, all messages, non-anonymous

Russia
Turkey
England
Italy

I really don't mind though.

2ndWhiteLine (2596 )

I'd prefer Italy or Turkey, ideally not Austria. I still need a TA for my Austria games (*shudder*).

Pete U (293 )
06 Feb 12 UTC

Don't mind, but I would quite like not to TA Turkey this time - I worry that my advice might be a bit samey.

Germany please. If somebody else is as stubborn about Germany as I am then Russia.

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?

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.
