After finishing the install of phpDiplomacy, I receive the following error when testing my configuration:

'Couldn't create log file directory'

Which directory is phpDipolomacy looking to create or file?

have a look at the screenshot; seems that the russian army tried to move to sweden; as far as I remember from the official rules, my fleet in denmark should have moved to gulf of bothnia - so this is a bug isn't it?

05:22 PM Autumn 1905, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Denmark attempted to move into Sweden but there was a stalemate.
05:22 PM Autumn 1905, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Baltic Sea attempted to attack the fleet at Gulf of Bothnia, but failed.

There seem to be a lot of passworded games...is theer a reason why? and is there any way I could join one of them (that is, will anyone let me play in one of their passworded games?)

cy

i donno if these two are really good friends or what but KLKC & JuniorC are in a game im playing and they just seem to close if you know what I mean!(no thats not a sexual reference) I looked at there profiles and they joined at the same time and are playing in all! the same games. as well they seem to be allied in all of them too.

if they(if infact its no just on person) read this im probobly done in our game but o well! the game is http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=392

What should the players do to have a game officially completed if
(a) two or more are allies and don't want to backstab each other or
(b) a stalemate amongst, for example, two allies on each "side"

I'm not sure if it's on the to do list to create fleets on the north coast here, but it's making Russia far too vulnerable to Britain in Scandinavia.

Hi there, is there any way to let somebody view our password-protected game?
We have friends who want to keep tabs on the game (in order to make fun of anybody who loses a battle, I think...), but I can't see that game in the list of "Viewable Games". The game is password-protected, mabye that's why?

Does anyone know if the rule the prevents you from dislodging your own unit is implemented? What about a dislodged unit's support always being cut?

is it possiblw ith enought fleets to create a convoy chain causing 1 army to move an extended distance in 1 turn for example if you had an army in smyrna cand a fleet in the agean and ionian seas could you convoy to tunis from smyrna in 1 turn?

Spring 1907, Diplomacy: Your army at Piedmont sucessfully defeated the army and moved into Marseilles.
Spring 1907, Diplomacy: Your army at Marseilles was overwhelmed by an attack from the army from Piedmont, and forced to retreat.
Spring 1907, Retreats: Your army at Marseilles was destroyed.

the only reason i supported myself in is because Marseilles was going to be moving out but that got stood off and i was afraid that Marseilles was going to be attacked in the end i probly got the worst deal!

kestasjk, pls make that way wins quickly, yes i play the game and enjoy from the beginning till the end (not really till the end as when 2 players remain on map, silly things happen(course my opinion), why do i help the one that will take my terr.close to end, ok i wont help but then i wont win..lol...this is kaos but this is the best site of course for diplomacy...even better that dipbounced...pls make these ways soon as my victories(just 2) arent REAL victories.(my idea course)

if two different powers attack a territory, not supporting each other, is the unit in the attacked territory displaced?

if anyone wanna play.......england X austria/france X germany/turkey X italy/russia........

everybody is welcome - just try to play active

Could u kindly cease playing the game finalize asap? having a multi account and playing both russia and austria is ruining the entire game. Now Russia can do a double prong into turkey and germany, because he knows he will never attack himself. Its absolute tomfoolery.

I cant access one of the games I am in, Now Playing!!!, what do I do because I need to make my moves?

Yesterday i had the idea, that it would be interesting to see in the profile which timezone another player has choosen.

if we want to quit and no longer play (unsubscribe..) how do we??

I'd like to see this sort of thing in the program, because I know it's part of the board game, and it seems that without it you wind up with too much guessing and not enough diplomacy. I think the game would be better if we could hold on to gains more easily by just having the forces in two adjacent territories defend each other. Anyone agree? Disagree?

I think a good idea would be that if you know you're not going to be on, you can resign from a game. Or finalize holds in advance.

If we suspect that someone is cheating, is there any way to anonymously report it besides on this forum?

Hey, I created a game for players who want a fast game. That is they are willing to finalize asap! if you can please join, if not please don't

Where did the feature that allowed you to watch old games turn by turn go to? I used to use that for strategy tips. :D

Just posting to say what's currently being done by those of us developing.
Personally, I am working on the coast troubles, and currently debugging the code allowing for creation at St. Pete's North. After that, I will just need to make some slight changes to port it for use with moving to the multiple coasts of Spain/bulgaria.
Others...

1. with the present version, what happens to a convoy if the fleet which is doing the convoying is attacked but not dislodged (i.e., a 1 on 1 attack) ?

2. if in (1) the convoy is unaffected - assuming the destination province is unopposed & the army can move there - can the convoying fleet be given support by another fleet so that it would not be affected if two "bad guy" fleets had a coordinated attack (attack w. support)?

In case the devs ever have too much free time, it would be neat if the game started a timer once every player has finalized their orders. Once the timer expired (say after 5 minutes), the system would resolve the current turn.
This would be great for those rare bursts of attendance that our group sometimes experiences (to offset the long droughts of inactivity...)

I cant read half my messages because the board blocks them, what do i do

Found your site via google, absolutely awesome. I was trying to set up a game for my geographically scattered friends but we were hoping to set it to 7 days per turn not 24 hours. I then read the forum and have since learned the impossibility of said task.

So is there a way for me to cancel/destroy/delete my ill-considered game creation?

Apologies for the error.

- what is currently the official rule about civil disorder? in some games, players haven't been online for several days, but there is no civil disorder breaking out; so otherwise fast games are slowed down; if civil disorder breaks out, the country will soon be taken over by a new player, but sadly these new players often are unhappy with their desperate situation and stop making moves and the game is slowed down again

- what do you think about this new rule for treating civil disorders:

(1) If a player did not move within 24h, first level civil disorder breaks out immediately. If all other players finished next turn, the game will not wait for the player. No other player may take over his country while in first level of civil disorder. If the player comes back, he may move as normal.

(2) If a player did not move for a whole year (counting spring+autumn, but not retreat and build up phases), 2nd level of civil disorder breaks out. Players may now take over the country.

(3) Add an option when creating a game, that prevents players from taking over a country in civil disorder.

Is there a way to distinguish between how you move to a specfic coast?
