So I'm really busy and everything's going great..
So now I'm considering the option of delegating some work around the webdesign-stuff. I have no clue how this would work legally though, amongst other things..

question about cheating investigations
I am a player in a (now paused) game "live gunshot 412." In the middle of a turn the game was apparently paused by a moderator...message was posted that the game had been paused due to a cheating investigation. Do those playing in the game find out the results from the investigation? Is it the case that even if no cheating is found that the game will still be cancelled? Can I go to bed without fear of the game resuming and me being charged with an nmr? Thank you.

Iphone/Ipad issue?
I've had to make some recent moves using these devices, and notice that in builds, I thought I've entered a fleet, only to have an army appear. It's almost certainly user input stupidity, so am I missing something in the save/ready commands? Is there a default set to army if an order is entered but improperly saved? Help - the admirals are pissed off.

Gunboat Series....
Am again running out of games.... Usual set of 5 gunboats, 15 point bet, 36hr phases with a commitment to ready up. No shifting of countries. Sign up below, first come, first served (subject to reasonable experience and reliability rating). All five games to be played simultaneously.

And a suggestion to ATC:
If anyone else out there wants to play buy is also limited to two or three games (maybe because of points) they can play the other three games ATC would miss and ATC can play just the two games.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
05 Jul 15 UTC
I'd rather not split the ATC deal on this, I think all 7 players should play all 5 games.

However I'd be happy to offer him an extra side game?

I calculated carefully! Games will be set up and invites sent out in next few hours.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
All games created and invitations sent... however (there always has to be one...) I've made the ATC game non-anon in error. I'm happy to play it that way or cancel and recreate. Let me know your thoughts
ghug (5068 D(B))
06 Jul 15 UTC
I can just change it for you if you want.
Chumbles (791 D(S))
06 Jul 15 UTC
Errrm.... I really do think it needs to be anonymous; trusting a bunch of dip players to not communicate....
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
Please change Ghug.

I would say Chumbles, that concerns me. I wouldn't expect anyone on this list to communicate outside of the game regardless of anon/non anon status.
Balrog (219 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
Yes...please make it anon. O/w what's the point of GB.
It needs to be that way because after a few games it is easy to predict what a specific player would do under certain conditions.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
Ghug... it filled up too quickly. Either please change and reshuffle countries or cancel and we'll remake.
Thanks
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
06 Jul 15 UTC
welp sorry I didn't read this thread first
cardcollector (1270 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
I suggest that we get the game to be changed to anon and reshuffle countries (where it is okay if you actually end up with the same country) OR just make a new game since the game already "started" once valis joined and we can see who is who.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
All agreed, just sent a PM to Ghug asking him to do exactly that.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
For some reason, we have no tool for changing the anonymity of a game- it'll have to be done via the database.

I can do that when I get home (in about 4 hours), but for obvious reasons, I'll have to get another moderator to shuffle the countries.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
(except for Jmo, the rest of the mod team don't have database access)
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
06 Jul 15 UTC
Is this a bad time to ask if it has to be anon to be gunboat?
Chumbles (791 D(S))
06 Jul 15 UTC
Thanks ATC...
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
Valis: The players want anon, so we'll make it anon (and then shuffle the countries).

As an aside, I'm actually really interested in playing some no-press games that aren't anon (with an agreement not to communicate via PM/email/or any other method). But that won't be this game :)
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
06 Jul 15 UTC
Haha, well, once your brain can handle more than 5 games, I'd be happy to set up a Reputation Gunboat special game, just for you ;)
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
If I've got the points, I'd be up for some non-anon no press games as well
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
06 Jul 15 UTC
I think 2WL organized a non-anon gunboat game sometime in the last year that I played in.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC
As a general note, there's a gentleman's understanding to ready up where possible. Everyone understands its not necessarily every phase but good to do so when can.
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
06 Jul 15 UTC
It might be better not to ready up just for this phase, since it might progress with other peoples orders going through - some people already had readied orders in before the country swap.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
07 Jul 15 UTC
I've sent last player another PM reminding them, hopefully they'll join up in next few hours.
pjmansfield99 (100 D)
07 Jul 15 UTC
Just bumping this, potentially looking for a replacement for the 5 series as no response from one of the players. There's 11hrs to go, but at around 2hrs before deadline (i.e. 9hrs from now), I'll give the p/w to someone else.

If anyone is interested, please pm me. Note I'll also let the rest of the players know who has taken over so games will remain semi-anon

So everyone is aware Ghengiz has replaced Podium for the 5 games. GL all.
