Changing some1 else's order?
This is the situation:
An attack is launched from an enemy in Sweden into My Denmark.
My Denmark is supporting My fleet at Hel which is moving into the enemy at Kiel.

Considering no other armies are involved, the outcome would be Denmark support move get canceled and will be changed to "hold", because the attack move from sweden. After that, the attack on Kiel will end in a tie.

But..... Let's say we add another army, mine, in Norway. This army then attacks Sweden. What happens?
1) Since Sweden can't take over Denmark, so it stays in Sweden. Then, because being attacked by Norway it changes it's move to "hold", and tie with norway. After that, The support from Denmark is renewed, and Hel win against Kiel.
2) Sweden stays in Sweden and holds against Norway, but still cancels Denmark support move.

Which is correct? 1 or 2?

BTW, sorry for not linking to the actual game, that is because it's a theoretical question, Since this scenario is not explained in the "help"...

Thanks a lot for helping me, Wolfyboy

Annoying bug.
When I ordered my fleet in London to the English Channel and my army in Wales to London, they both bounced as apparently they attacked each other. There was nothing blocking the English Channel and no fleet bordering it apart from my own, and I've checked my orders and nothing should have prevented the London fleet from moving.

Any thoughts?

Taking over Territories
I moved from Con to Bulgaria in my 1st turn (I'm the Turks). Do I now need to stay with this army in Bulgaria in order to conquer it? Becase it doesn't appear like I control it yet...

I hope I made myself clear, english is my 2nd language...

Potential bug
In the game <Manipulation> (id=997), I'm playing Germany, and held Denmark.
In Spring 1902, I attempted to move my F Kiel into Denmark, but was told it was stalemated. However, the English fleet in the North Sea moved in.
Either:
-why did he get in when the territory was stalemated? or
-(if he had support from Sweden) why was I told it was stalemated, when I should have been told I was defeated?

North and South Coast
When you're moving into a country that has North and South coasts, why can't you pick which coast you want to move into? This would open up a lot of new strategies and possibilities, and would mean less people being in awkward situations when their fleet ends up on a different coast.

Country Colors
For the official version of Diplomacy, England; France; Germany; Italy; Austria; Russia; and Turkey are dark blue, light blue, black, green, red, white and yellow respectively. Is phpDiplomacy going to use those "official" colors or are we going to stick with the colors we have right now?

No it doesnt...
Also in the OFFICIAL version, England is pink, france light blue, germany black and russia purple, Austria red, italy green and turkey yellow....
Does it REALLY make a diff what colors are used?

Well, if they were all different shades of grey it'd be difficult at a glance to see who's who but I see your point. I wouldn't mind a more contrasting map/borders/colours. Less jaggy, more pronounced. But c'est la vie.
isbian (106 D)

I vote no. If we do, then everybody will have to accustomed to the new colors again.

In the version of the game I have the colors are the colors I used here, I have a pretty old version though.

But I think the colors being used work well

I also played a game with the colors used here. I dont care the color. I wouldnt mind if each country had an insignia or logo to personalize their flag. Each Player profile could create or download a country flag for all 7 countries which would personalize each player. Like the fleur de lit (im not sure about spelling) could be the French Emblem, crecent moon for Turkey, the lion/ dragon for england, etc... Just a thought

present colors are great

but the symbol idea is also very good

if we have symbols, I would like an additional one that a player could voluntarily & temporarily choose for themselves --- a dunce cap for when they did a bonehead move
hiimme333html (100 D)

Don't forget that in the original diplomacy set created by Allan Calhamer, (with the little cubes for pieces) used the present colors. when the game was licensed for production to Avalon Hill, they made different pieces and used those other colors to make the set look better and increase sales.

i hope that helped explain.

Longest Game
I'm just wondering what peoples longest ever games are, because one of my games is at the end of 1936! The main reason for this is that twice we have reached stalemate lines, and then had them broken because of holidays and the like. If I remember correctly, the game was started back in February, which gives an idea of it's age! Links:

Errors in Adjudication
I had an error in adjudication, one unit supporting another unit into a SC. Defending unit attacked the supporting unit which caused the support to fail, WRONG. This is critical and basic mistake! Is there any way to correct it?

Next phase 'due now'
Ive noticed that when Time runs out for a phase, and some people dont have their orders in, it just says the the next phase is 'due now' and then waits until the late players put in their orders.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it an Isolated incident.

Not a big problem just wondering is this normal.

Game Question???
When a stalemate occurs on the game board it appears as a red X on the region the stalemate occured. But you can see the red X for Austria because it blends right in. If you have a "to do" list on fixing the minor errors on this amazing website. I would appriciate it if you could change the X to Black or White. Thanks

A random idea
Player search system
A box where you type letters and it gives you a list of players whose usernames contain the characters you searched for. The list can be sorted alphabetically, by player rank, time joined, etc. When you click on a player's name, you go to the information page (the one we have already, with rank, timezone, etc.). That page should have a link to send that person an out-of-game message, which appears on their forum page as a notification message.


i had a lot more of these, and i'll post them if i remember any.

Good bye.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop coming onto this site. Don't get me wrong, I love diplomacy, but lately I've been neglecting my school work, and I'm under a lot of stress right now. There are more important things that this site at the moment. I may be back in the summer, though. =) I'll try my best to see my current games through, but that's it. I'm sorry to all my allies I've let down by missing a few turns here and there, and for the turns I will miss in the future.
