No idea what to do...
So, in this game, I am facing 3 countries that are in a permanent alliance. They don't actually coordinate very well, which allowed me to get into a stalemate line. Their response to this, was just to continue doing what they were doing. I can't seem to get them to talk to me at all. They won't turn on each other. I am not sure what to do.

Pause please
gameID=13085

Everyone has agreed to pause except France, who keeps going NMR. He hasn't gone yet, but probably will, and has gunboated (I think) everyone in the game.

Private game needs seventh
Once again I started a private game and need a seventh player. The six of us have played together several times but I can assure there are no pre-determined alliances. The game name is Loki's Labyrith. Password is bladetoback if anyone is interested. Just need one to begin.

Site Error: Game 13309
I am playing game 13309 as Austria. The system apparently held all units and finalized my turn during the second round. I had been waiting for the "!!" signal that I had moves to make and only because I happened to look did I notice that all units were set to hold and finalized, even though I had placed no such order, nor recall having even been given the option of placing orders before they were entered by the system. Fortunately, this error was caught before all players had finalized.

Civil Disorder vs. Civil Disorder
According to the rules, civil disorder is the state a country enters when it misses any turn. Shouldn't this be noted in the game right away instead of after 2 turns? I am not saying that other people should be able to take up your country after only one missed turn. I am saying that after one missed turn, the civil disorder tag should be applied, and after two missed turns, an ‘open’ or similar tag should be applied.

Congrats to Juan Martin Del Potro on his first major championship victory, and congrats to all you Argentinians out there, (especially you Xapi), for winning a major and breaking though into the top level of men's tennis.

Hopefully Juan Martin has many more majors in his future!

Applauding a player in a gunboat...
Ever have one of those situations where you want to applaud a brilliant move by an opponent in a gunboat game? I wish there was a 'Tip of the Cap' button, so you could do that without violating gunboat moves. In 2-3 weeks when the game ends, it won't mean as much.

Online indicator gives away anon games
I often play private games against friends, several of whom are in different time zones. We're finding that the online and Last Seen indicators give you a pretty good clue about who's who. Probably applicable only to these situations, but I think for a truly anonymous game, they're undesirable.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I agree. Is it possible for at least the "last seen" info to be removed from the country status panel? (in anon games only, of course)
Tantris (2456 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I agree, I accidentally found out someone that was in one of my anonymous games as well.
rlumley (0 DX)
14 Sep 09 UTC
Don't look. :-P

Seriously though, I agree. These should be removed for all games. It's a valid tactic to pretend to not receive a message in time and go through with a move. These times prevent that.
jarrah (185 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I agree too. I haven't played any anon games, but, it may be worthwhile.

Also, should the message times in Anon games be deleted, and just have the season in which the message was sent??
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I think those need to be kept in case a player needs a sitter in an anon game. Without time stamped messages the sitter would be lost.
Centurian (3257 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I don't really think you should be able to pretend you aren't getting messages, that would be too annoying.

But yes, especially if there are high pot anon games, which I'm totally not playing in, because only certain players could be in it.
rlumley (0 DX)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I don't know about the pretending thing. I debated on it. It would be impossible in FtF, but a valid diplomatic tactic in real life.
djbent (2572 D(S))
14 Sep 09 UTC
haha lol @ centurian. totally not playing, indeed =)
MajorFopa (1409 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
On a similar note, I don't like the black checkmark that announces that I entered orders (but did not finalize them). I think that, in online Dip, it is a valid tactic to keep you adversaries guessing if you have placed orders or not. Anyone else feel the same way. Sometimes having detailed info (too much) interferes with the intrigue of the game.
Centurian (3257 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
I made a big argument against that grey checkmark when the update first happened, I feel that its very helpful but should be kept private. I'd say about 2/3 of the people weighing in agreed with me, but nothing was done.
djbent (2572 D(S))
14 Sep 09 UTC
actually centurian, altho i agreed with you, i think most people disagreed, saying that the grey check mark was helpful for anticipating NMRs and that it therefor was good to keep it.
Hibiskiss (631 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
@MajorFopa - don't enter your orders until the last minute to keep it from showing.
Centurian (3257 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
Actually it just appeared that way because those who disagreed were very vocal about it (like Ghost) and they repeated a very bad argument over and over again. (That you want to punish NMRS by inflicting massive damage on them by letting everyone know that they should pile up on them instead of playing through their normal moves.)
djbent (2572 D(S))
14 Sep 09 UTC
really? i didn't remember it that way, but it's certainly possible. i remember Geofram was particularly vocal against the grey checks. can't remember who else.
Centurian (3257 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
Well I don't know, I usually just assume that everyone agrees with me.
JECE (1253 D)
14 Sep 09 UTC
MajorFopa and Centurian: I can't believe you. Before the grey check-mark you could take advantage of people very badly by not finalizing. People assumed that you had just not entered orders. Even for experienced players who had joined the site it was a mystery when players actually moved. I mean, in the real game, you can see people writing down their orders and can also see if they aren't present.
