I don't think there are - it requires completion of a game.

hey PB - did you kiss and make up with Maple?

No kissing was involved, but Mapleleaf and myself are now enjoying civilised communication. I've apologized for causing the earlier problems.

Austria is doing very well in these games.

Funnily enough in Group F, Mapleleaf and myself got the same countries (England and France) second time round. Has this happened to anyone else?

rait, bersherj and I have had the exact same countries- italy, turkey and austria in BOTH of our games!

this is a proof that country assignment is biased

actually, it proof that is random. :-p

And certainly proof that it is a pain.

for completeness,
Group D:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5696
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6147

In Group D 4 of the six original players are playing the same country. Basically Darwin and I switched theatres and we have a new italy. From the looks of it things are turning out quite alot different though.

I also believe that country assignment is biased.

For my first two games on Phpdip, I got Russia. Won those, so next game it gave me France. Won that, so it then gave me Germany for games 4 & 5. Won those, so then I get Austria for games 6 and 7. Won those; so then games 8,9,10 are Italy twice + Turkey.

Key thing is that I was always aiming at 50pt games - so reference the other players I was getting handicapped higher and higher as my record improved. Had I moved up to a 500 point game and been the junior player, it would have likely given me Russia/France.

It's not a bad idea, but I think that truly random allocation would be better.

It is random.
this is an open source project so anyone can have a look at the algorithm kestas uses. I don't pretend to know about such coding intricacies but i trust people like kestas,wonderlama, figles and others that do.

It is random.
For those being very picky it's not 100% random, but only to the degree that a computer cannot be random.The odds of you getting all 7 nations in 7 consecutive games are far far lower than those of getting them several times

The code below is directly from /gamemaster/adjudicator/pregame.php
If you don't trust me then you can check on the CVS yourself, but this, as well as so many people's statements, should surely convince you?
107 /*
108 * Make sure everyone gets a random country. Some complain that they get the same
109 * country over and over again, but this function should completely randomize which
110 * country they get. Perhaps it could be made less random, to ensure that players
111 * get variety?
112 */
113 shuffle($countries);

Despite this, people will always manage to find patterns. =)

For the record, I apologized for my part of the nonsense as well. It is behind us. PB is a fine geezer, except for the fact that he insists upon capturing my supply centers.

it's not patterns, i believe there are certain "blacklists". for example, i never get russia or germany. this makes it non-random for everyone

Look guys, people suck a getting randomness, our brains have evolved to be super good at finding patterns and noticing correlations. The problem is we find patterns that aren't there: sports players and there lucky charms / the face on mars. We also only remember the positive examples and ignore the negative one, that's how "psychics" convince people they can talk to the dead/predict the future etc or why some doctors think that hospitals are fuller during the full moon.... anyway.
alamothe: either your a little bit unlucky or kestas has two versions of phpdiplomacy, one open source version where we can all see the code and this version here where he has applied a "let's screw with alamothe" patch so that you get your favorite countries less often.
Perhaps he's also changed the code so that when you win you only get 80% of the points, do you always check that you get the right amount of points? :-)

alamothe...you really think kestas runs a blacklist of players who don't get certain countries?? Martian Pyramids! thats out there.

.......and a kick look at your played games lists shows that you have played both Germany and Russia!
