himethisisme, Arkaalis and Neryth

himethisisme and Arkaalis are in 4 games together and if you look at their history they always work together. Friends in real life? Or the same person? Also, Neryth is in 3 of their games too, and likewise always an ally. Neryth has only been in 3 games total thus far.

Check out France's navy in this past game and note how it passes through the Mediterranean and helps out the Italians/Turks in Greece.

Uber Win

Say you were playing a PPSC game, the pot is 34, and you win with 20 supply centers. Do you get 20 pionts for that game?
And what was the biggest win ever on this site? It'd be cool to see someone win with 20+ SCs.

retreat rule

hey-- i just got burned by what i feel is a lame loophole in the retreat rule. i had armies side by side in burgundy, ruhr, and kiel, moving east from france. on the same turn, i took munich with ruhr supported by burgundy, and berlin with kiel supported by baltic.

Leaving the game early?

How do you leave a game early? I see where there are options to take over for someone... how do you do that? Leave that is?

I found myself in one of those long hours between phases maps that I can't stand. (I know... pay attention before joining, but I can't afford it.)

So I was off to a great start in this game: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=8184
and all of a sudden, around spring of '03, Austria starts evacuating it's SC's in favor of Turkey. Am I being a whinny-butt, or did I get a raw deal?

Secret Draw?

Akin to the anonomous hold of the US Senate, wouldn't it be more interesting if we didn't know who was holding up the draw?
I think this could potentially cut down on draws and helps players go for the win without making it totally clear they are going for the win.

Moderater: help unpause

Can we can a little help to unpause the following game? I asked for the pause before the weekend, and all players but one voted to unpause over 36 hours ago in a 24-hour game. Thanks.

Well, the 'weekend' in the US included Monday this week due to a holiday. So depending on where the player is, it could be 9am in the morning after the weekend. Don't you think you are jumping the gun on a forced unpause?

V+ (5470 )

I would think so, except the current hold-out unpauser has a history of NMR's and, strangely enough, didn't even seem to vote for the pause. I've pasted the global chat log below.

I noticed that too. He never voted for the pause but it happened. And now has not voted to unpause.

In response to Dingleberry, yes it may be jumping the gun. But, not all of us can play 15 games simultaneously :)

dangermouse (5551 )

That would probably mean a mod paused the game for you V, a forced pause does not generate a gamemaster message.

V+ (5470 )

Maybe. Then I guess a mod unpause is in order.

Its also possible that the player went CD meaning his vote wasn't needed and the game was paused and then he logged back on and it is longer in CD.

This thread has been around long enough, so sure.
I still worry that one day we're going to unpause a game where the player in question got the pause then went away however. Still, this should be sorted out with the upgrade.
