Best moves in a gunboat.

I haven't been in a lot of gunboat games, so I don't have a lot of great moves under my belt, but I know a lot of you guys might have some interesting (succesful) moves. Maaybe some convoys? Maybe something as cool as Army in Serbia support army in London to Greece? Multi-country convoys?

Diplomacy during retreat and disbanding phases?

Why isn't diplomacy during these phases blocked, as required by the rules? Isn't this game supposed to be true to the original rules? It seems to me like this could speed up the game a bit for these phases. Is it allowed because players would be able to cheat and talk anyway through e-mail or instant messaging?

"
4. RETREAT AND DISBANDING PHASE
. . .
No diplomacy or discussion takes place prior to writing retreat orders – all countries are on their own.
. . .
WRITING RETREATS
If two or more units must retreat, the retreat locations are immediately (and without discussion) written down by the players concerned.
. . .
ADJUSTING NUMBER OF UNITS
. . .
As with retreats, gaining and losing units (collectively known as “adjustments”) are written and revealed simultaneously without discussion or diplomacy of any kind.
"

from page 17 of this rulebook:
http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/rulebooks/2000AH4th.pdf
and page 18 of this:

The diplomacy in retreats/builds issue has been raised before. The fact is that it would not add anything to the game to halt negotiations on retreats.

Ivo_ivanov (7545 )

This way is better. Speeding up the game is key in FtF, not so much here.

vamosrammstein (757 )

And as you said, people can talk out of site if they really want to anyway.

JECE (1253 )
06 Aug 09 UTC

But this changes the game more than for just speed. This limits your ability to interact with your allies and leaves an elemant of uncertainty during the decision-making process for these phases. For example, there is no way in the real rules to discuss how to organize retreats without all units getting disbanded (units who retreat to the same privince are disbanded). It is not a complete chage, but gameplay is significantly altered, so I thought I would point this out.

Plastic Hussar (1375 )

I think it that discussions during these phases actually can speed up the game. If one player is taking a long time to finalize a retreat, other players can start talking about the next move round, so that when the game finally advances, they are ready to place their orders.

djbent (2572 )
06 Aug 09 UTC

i agree that it changes the game a little bit, but i don't see an easy way to enforce it here. and since we have to have the retreat and build phases the same length as other phases (b/c people can only get online so often) then we might as well be able to talk during that time.

vamosrammstein (757 )
06 Aug 09 UTC

And many players on here don't talk that much as it is, so it's better to offer opportunities to talk whenever possible.

JECE (1253 )

I guess there is more reason for it to go faster than slower, now that I see your point, Plastic Hussar.

vamosrammstein (757 )

Xapi (194 )

Would the players be chosen based on forum posts?

I have 1437...

Onar (131 )

I was thinking based on willingness to join.
But I have 1370 posts, just in case.

Plastic Hussar (1375 )
06 Aug 09 UTC

48. Does that mean I have to run a depth charge to qualify?

Xapi (194 )

@ Onar: Well, obviously, but what if there's more than 7 willing?

djbent (2572 )

what about a game for people with 18,000+ in-game messages? anybody up for that?

rdrivera2005 (3533 )

i'd like to play a game with people i've never played before, who do agree to talk a lot, and agree to pause, if needed. i feel like all my games are with the same people...

Hello! This happened before. We have a live game which we would like to unpause, but Russia hasn't been seen forever. Chrisp forced him to go CD, so we were going to unpause it tomorrow night. But, he rejoined. Stayed long enough to become not CD anymore. The bastard.

August Ghost-Ratings List: http://phpdiplomacy.tournaments.googlepages.com/home2

I am away at the start of the month, so, to avoid the "Where is the Ghost-rating list" thread, I've done them already!
There were some anomalies in the data which appear to have been straightened out (3 games claiming to have finished on 1st Jan 1970, for instance), so I had to start from scratch. This takes a lot of time, so this data is from 29th August.
