Learning to play with the labmate
Hello everyone,

I have finally convinced one of my friends at lab to start playing Diplomacy after he heard me do nothing but talk about and yell in an almost foreign language about my games at a conference.

Constant double posting of messages
Pretty much this. It seems to happen especially when I send a message, stay on the messaging screen, then refresh it a bit later. Whatever my last message was sends again. This is of course in-game messaging, not forum posts.

How do takeover results affect Ghost Ratings?
Is a win, draw, or loss resulting from a takeover counted any differently for Ghost Rating calculations? On the flip side how does a cd affect the Ghost Ratings of those individuals?

Diplomacy at TempleCon
If you're looking for some F2F tournaments in the New England area, TempleCon in RI is the first of the year from Feb 5-8. Tournaments are an excellent way to be introduced to the F2F hobby and are a ton of fun. If you've never played F2F before, I highly recommend you give it a shot. More info can be found here: http://templecon.org/15/. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to put you in touch with the right people.

Little league gunboat series
Since I only had enough points for Yaleunc's gunboat series if buy-in was14 points or less I'm starting another series for us folks that don't have many points available.

Games will be WTA gunboat, 24 hr phases. Readying up strongly encouraged. Games will run concurrently and there will be 7 games. No country reshuffling. 14 D buy-in, so you can join with 100-ish. I expect people with at least a few games played and high reliability. Signup below.

Her Name Was Leelah
And yet Leelah's parents insist on using male pronouns even after her death that she directly stated was THEIR FAULT. I don't understand how parents could possibly be so ignorant as to disrespect their own child like this.

Issue with the new "Preview" feature big map
I know that the stand-off X's on a regular big map are often not accurate (and that issues with the big map aren't related to the order resolution code; see threadID=494283) but I'm surprised to see the stand-off X's turn up in random places in the big map of the "Preview" feature. Why would they show up for no reason?

@ Al - Draug declared himself to be sincere in several PMs to me which he seemingly did not realise the mods could read. I don't believe he was joking. He claimed afterwards it had been a joke, but that smells like a desperate attempt to cover his tracks and avoid a banhammering.

My esteemed Al,
The underlying assumptions seem to be (a) that you have all the information there is to know about this case at your disposal, (b) that the only single infraction that Draug (pbuh) has committed would be to brazenly suggest he would commit an act he has not, (c) that posting a thread about his predicament on the forum would help him in any way.

Alas, it seems you are mistaken on three counts.

Did Draugnar actually attack the site? One would imagine that being banned would have given him increased motivation without actually making an attack significantly harder.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
19 Jan 15 UTC
Draugnar took the "credit" for an attack which definitely took place.

He then stated via PMs to myself (and possibly others) his intention to carry out a further attack. His claims were quite detailed and displayed a technical knowledge which in my mind gave them some credibility. Nothing gave me any reason to believe he was joking.

That's sufficient to support his ban if you ask me.
Octavious (2701 D)
19 Jan 15 UTC
(+1)
I think he sent similar PMs to half the membership :p. I really should have kept a copy. As you say, he likely has the technical ability, which to my mind makes it all the more likely it was a joke or anger induced bluster. If he had wanted to carry out the attack he would have done so, especially after being banned. If he did not attempt to do so that is a big mark in his favour.

A bit of a moot point as even fake threats combined with past actions probably justified his ban, although perhaps it may carry weight regarding a possible future return.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
19 Jan 15 UTC
@ Octavious - whether or not he was "joking" or "blustering" about his future intentions, it remains the case that he admitted carrying out a previous attack.
TheMinisterOfWar (553 D)

Gentlemen, perhaps restating the obvious, but this really isnt the place or way to describe any individual case. And just to clarify any expectations: for reasons of security, privacy and even decency (Draug can't defend himself here), the mods are not in a position to engage in this discussion. In fact, I think these are also good reasons not discuss those cases here for anybody, but to each his own.

In any event, if you have genuine questions / grievances, feel free to mail the mods at [email protected].

I think everyone except Al is generally in agreement that Draugnar's ban was reasonable.

If Al has a grievance he can, quite frankly, shove it where he thinks the sun shines out of.
