Anyone here knowledgable about statistics?
Normally I would try to find an forum that specilizes in this subject but I haven't been too sucessful finding an active forum that I can post too (the few I can find are restricted to invited members only). I tend to find that there's a lot of smart educated people on this site so I thought I might try my luck here.

webDiplomacy Notifier application in taskbar
I've developed a Win32 taskbar application that monitors webDiplomacy to notify the user when a status change occurs in a game, by changing the icon in the taskbar, depending on the type of notification.

Hi all,

I have lost too much time refreshing this website looking for status updates on my games. So I finally decided it was worth the time to develop a taskbar app that would flash when there is a game alert (movements not submitted, new messages, or not finalized turns).

Right now I am testing it, and works well. But I still want to fine tune the login process (cookies' stuff).

It's a very simple app, just an icon in the windows taskbar (by the clock) with the green D. It changes to the !! or the mail icon or the faded ticker that we see here when game status changes. You double click on it and it directs you to the games page.

It is very lightweight (few memory, almost no CPU usage, and at most 5 KB downloaded every minute). It's still in debugging process so I'd appreciate anybody who could download it and betatest it. It is located at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wdnotifier

If you find any bugs please do not write to me here, go to the project page, click in "Support", right under the title "webDiplomacy Notifier" and select bugs, or feature requests, etc to file the problem.

I hope it is as useful for you as it is for me and my worktime :)

Cool! We also had someone create a desktop widget that monitored games as well. Maybe we can link to both of them somewhere in the help files?

Ah ha. Nice. I hate that WebDiplomacy doesn't update automatically.

I downloaded and tried it.

Basically, it's a tray icon that displays one single status, presumably the one considered most "urgent" by the developer, from all the status in your current games. ATM, I've found that "Unread messages" trumps "grey tick", but I don't know if "Red Alert" trumps "unread messages" or it's the other way around.

The icons are pretty horrible and pixelated.

its not working with me...
when I click the envelop it opens a c:\ window and nothing happens...
what should I do?
Xapi (194 D)
16 Aug 09 UTC
No, it's just a notyfier, that's all.

The envelope tells you you have a message, when you do, you need to get yourself to the page to open it, the tray icon is not an hyperlink.

well since this were the authors words I was hopping it was different :)

Oh, I didn't see that...

It seems it's a bug after all.
Gallando (255 D)

Hi, the priorities are indeed developer chosen. You can see which are they in the readme.txt file. When you double click on the icon it should open a web browser to the "My Games" page, it is strange that it doesn't work as it just opens a command window and executes "start http://webdiplomacy.net/gamelistings.php?....", can you try writing that at the c:\ window to see if it opens the browser?

Yes, the icons are pretty horrible and pixelated, I have done the app tonight, the icons are just this website's image files. I'll look into it.
Troodonte (3379 D)
18 Aug 09 UTC
I can't write anything in that winmdow and it doesne't open the browser.

Anyway, at least it alerts me to the messages wish already very good ;)

Put in your orders!
I hate having to have to say this, but when you have a game where you have no orders: PUT SOME ORDERS IN! Don't finalize them unless you are sure, but ALWAYS have orders in. That way you don't NMR even when you are active. I've been in one too many games where my ally was going to enter in orders late when he had a chance only to get busy and miss the end of the turn. Don't let it happen to you! Always put in orders! Having two red "!!"'s should be an alert to you to put in orders!

Record of point gains and losses
Look at these games I joined late in:
gameID=12048
gameID=11819
Obviously, I should not have win 59 D after a bet of 3 in Iberian Lynx. In fact, I did not. The points were originally calculated correctly and I won 6 D in the end. I am only posting this here because I thought this would have been fixed already, and it has no been.

“Civil Disorder” Penalty
What are players thoughts on further penalizing those players who go “CD”? Players that go CD are just as bad as ‘multi-players’ (and in many instances are one in the same). Would it keep players from joining games they were unwilling to finish?

So here's a challenge for you all. The topic of marijuana legalization came up a while back and I think most people were in favor of legalization. Practice your powers of persuasion - convince me that marijuana should remain illegal.
