Good CD Turkey to take over

It's Winter 1901, and Turkey still owns all its home centers.

SANDCASTLE to kick down - multi-accounter
I wonder how many accounts THIS time?
ProsperityY!PP and Exponentialdecay are clearly the same person:

1. The Same log-on times
2. exponentialdecay joined the very day after ProsperityY!PP
3. ProsperityY!PP is playing in four out of five of Exponentialdecay's games
4. Very suspicious press indicating same player in M Kahunas 2 game- When I as Russia attacked Turkey, France of all people started threatening me.

It must be said, he is a very skilled tactician, its a shame that he has turned to dishonorable means to win his games.

Kestas, PLEASE KICK DOWN HIS SANDCASTLE !! :)

Retreats before a country is eliminated
Say a player has one unit left. In an autumn turn, the player's last SC is taken and his unit is dislodged. Shouldn't that player have the opportunity to retreat into another SC?

For instance, see this game:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5217
Italy was dislodged from Tyrrhenian in Autumn 1904 and could have retreated into Rome but was not given an opportunity to.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
Yes, they should have been given the chance to retreat. After a brief look at the code I think it might be marking them as defeated after the fall moves but before the retreat phase. Kestas should probably take a look to confirm that.

Are you positive that Italy was never given the option or could they have disbanded the unit instead?
sswang (3471 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
The moves happened a few hours ago; Italy has not logged in since Monday.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
Could they have gone into civil disorder that turn? If so it might have auto disbanded the unit.
Centurian (3257 D)

It looks like thats what happened. Although you don't get to retreat at the end of a game I notice. What if you could retreat to a centre and stop the winner from getting 18?
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
Hmm, thats a good point Centurian; I bet that could happen.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
That actually confirms my suspicions too since that shows that the server is updating the SC count prior to the retreat phase. Another glance at the code and it definitely looks like it is eliminating the player before it should. You'll need to get Kestas to put Italy back in the game. I'll make a post about this in the dev forum with the details for Kestas.

I think this topic was raised not a long time ago, possibly on FB. It is the only real bug of the adjudicator, I think.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
And I just noticed Kestas had made a post in the forum reminding himself to fix this...
DrOct (219 D(B))
25 Sep 08 UTC
That just happened to Germany in my current game!
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5121
I mean he's basically out, but it seems like he should have been able to retreat into Prussia and then try to get someone to help him move back into Berlin before he technically lost control of it.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
@DrOct: If you look at the bottom Germany is still in the game; he should have been able to retreat since the dislodgement happened in a spring turn.
MajorTom (4417 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
i've run into this too, its a serious problem if it's constantly occuring or programmed to handle these situations this way.
even if it isn't possible to retreat into a center and survive, you may be able to retreat into the same territory as another dislodged unit and take it with you
MajorTom (4417 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
Kestas?
DrOct (219 D(B))
25 Sep 08 UTC
@Abydos

Right, that's exactly what I'm saying. He's still in the game but wasn't given the opportunity to retreat.
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
If he's still in the game he should be given the opportunity since he still has control of the unit. The bug is it's eliminating players before the fall retreat phase and once they've been eliminated they can't order the retreat.
Centurian (3257 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
In the case of the above germany he opted to disband rather than fight on.
DrOct (219 D(B))
25 Sep 08 UTC
According to him he wasn't given that option.
sswang (3471 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
So should we wait to make the next moves until Kestas can fix this? We're about to make our builds...
Abydos1 (100 D)
25 Sep 08 UTC
If you want Kestas to fix it then yes you should wait; right now it should be an easy fix but if the game moves to the next turn it's going to be a lot harder.

Two quick questions
1) If all players have finalized their orders except for one who is in CD, does that hold up the completion of the turn until the timer runs out?

2) Has any seen Kestas lately? (heard from, read a post, etc)

Supporting the support?
Hello everybody

on the actual board game instruction manual (50th anniversary edition, p.9) it says: "Support can be offensive (...) or defensive (supporting a hold, support or convoy order)".

However, I could not find any reference on how a "support to support" is done, and what is the mechanism behind it...

Anybody available to help or point me to the right online page/article?

EOG "Thank God I'm a Straight Man" - Making the Key work
A month or so ago, there was a thread in this forum called "Making the Key work", wich was basically about the Key Lepanto, and asking why, according to the poster, the Key was rarely used, and even rarelier did it actually work.

I was just getting started in the game, but it got me reading on some opening theory, and I have to say I fell in love with the Key almost instantly.

I got Italy in my next game, so I just had to try it. This game came to an end yesterday, and in the next post is my EOG statement.

Riddle me this?
Ok, if a game cost 101 points to join (presumably to stop total beginners that haven't won a game from joining), then 5 people join and the pre-game starts, how much does it cost to take over a CD Italy or Germany?

According to my calculations, 96 points.

Not sure how or why...

Not being all sooky-gripey-blah-blah. I'm happy to have players join to make up the numbers and not have CD countries. Just curious as to the calculations...

Discussion anyone?
