Missing a turn without NMRing/CDing
In one of the games I'm in, France has not moved at all since the beginning (it's Spring 1902 now), but he hasn't NMRed or CDed, and so we can't cancel. Any idea what's going on?

House game 3/08 near Boston
I'm hosting a house game this coming Sunday (3/08) in Waltham MA, and would love a few more players. I actually already have one full board confirmed plus a couple extras, so I'm looking for 5-6 more people to make it a two-board event.

This is part of my effort to create a strong Boston community of Dippers, so all ages, skill-levels, and amounts FtF experience are welcome. Contact me if you're interested, either here or (preferably) at [email protected].

Red Dragon for €10? Franchise Pack for €12,50?
Is it worth playing the earlier games first/after Red Dragon stops being fun?

Just curious but do certain games get excluded from the rankings? For example I have 299 completed but the GR page shows only 256. I checked a few other people and their totals also appear to be off.

Games that end before 1904 aren't counted.

I think that any game that ends in a draw in 1903 or before isn't included.

It's for games that end prematurely, but the specific cutoff is there because not every country can solo before 1904 (and even those that can can only do so in the most technical sense).

Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
06 Mar 15 UTC
I still think something is off in the counts. When I search my finished games I only see 2 that finished before 1903 or equivalent (one of those 2 is Ancient Med draw in 2). But that still leaves 41 games omitted from the rating.
ghug (5068 D(B))
06 Mar 15 UTC
Before or including 1903? Games that finished since the month changed also aren't counted.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
06 Mar 15 UTC
I went back and looked at my August rating and it showed 169 completed games at that time at GR site. The Sept numbers show 160 with 13 games completed, so right there 22 games are unaccounted for. Seems to me like there is maybe a bug causing some games that should be counted to be omitted (at least from the count, maybe they are still being used in the actual calculations).
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
06 Mar 15 UTC
I have one game completed in year 2, one in year 3, and the rest are at least 5 years. Also see what I just posted about a bunch of games disappearing between August (last time the GR site was officially updated) and September (which was really posted several months later after the reboot of GR).

In seriousness, we'll look through the script and see if I can figure out what's going on, but neither TGM or Alderian is around to help, and the script is kind of hard to read, so it might be awhile.

Possible bug?

There is someone with a username of "?" listed at #116, and at first I assumed it was that someone actually had that username, but no user is found for a profile-name-match via the http://webdiplomacy.net/profile.php page.

+1's to ATC and Ghug! I finished 4 games in Feb but the GR report shows "change in games" equal to 3?? All games went 7 or more years. One was takeover in an American Empire game. Was the takeover not counted ??
gameID=151787
gameID=151991 (this was the takeover American Empire game)
gameID=153761
gameID=153978

Busted my balls from near elimination to get a draw in that takeover, so hope it counted in GR ;/
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
08 Mar 15 UTC
Previous the party line was CD-takeovers count towards the one who ends the game in that position, i.e. the taking-over-person. IIRC
ghug (5068 D(B))
08 Mar 15 UTC
So the GR script was never updated when FotAE and Modern were introduced. We'll get updated versions with that out at some point.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
08 Mar 15 UTC
Is the plan for overall GR to be just classic or everything? Not to imply my preference or anything.
chluke (12292 D(G))

Ok. Thank you for explaining, ghug.

Diplomacy with WMD's
every country begins with 1 WMD(can only be used after 1902 build phase) every other year would be an automatic WMD for countries larger than 7 centers. (this way no nuclear war in 1901, or 1902). A WMD would annihilate all forces enemy or friendly in a given location and if it is a center render it neutral and impassable for 1 year. what would this add to the game?

I thought it would be interesting to see MAD employed in diplomacy.
