Mods- Please resolve this game.
The game froze several days ago and we've all agreed to a draw except England who appears to have left the site. If you could, please end the game in a draw among the remaining players.

Question...
So, I haven't played here since before the improved interface (which rocks, thanks!). I am playing a game, and we all have green check marks. My orders look a bit different than they did before the last person finalized (there is a "not ready" button).

So...the game is not progressing, but everyone has green checks...what is going on?

English Statistics
below i have tabulated a variety of statistics in the first installment of individual country statistics. for the following stats, i took a sample of 100 games of the specified type (eliminations, solos and draws) to arrive at the results.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))
04 Nov 09 UTC
i did not use the following game types:

games that ended before 1904
7-way draws
games with clear indications of multi-accounting
games in which 3 or more players resigned:

When England draws, who else draws?

Turkey 57%
Italy 50%
France 48%
Germany 45%
Russia 38%
Austria 32%

When England is eliminated, who solos?

France 33%
Turkey 21%
Germany 17%
Russia 15%
Italy 8%
Austria 6%

When England solos, who's eliminated?

Germany 74% (wow!)
France 62%
Russia 62%
Austria 46%
Italy 38%
Turkey 21%

Average year of English victory: 1911
Best Ally: none, potentially Italy
Greatest Adversary: France

a few things i gathered from this is that again, we see that austria's success is linked to english success but the converse is not necessarily true. turkey had some suprising statistics in that if england did well, turkey also did well but if england did poorly, turkey did not necessarily do poor. it seems to me that turkey's key bet is to keep england alive long enough to allow turkey to get a solid foothold. after that, turkey will thrive.

additionally, something i noticed not seen in these statistics is that when england was defeated, it was far more often to end in a draw among other countries than it was for the game to end in a solo.

the assumption based on the rather even drawing percentages is that england can draw with just about anyone with turkey turning out slightly higher.

You might want to consider calculating the "who else" statistics normalized by how often they achieve those results in total. Then you'd have a "how much more likely is Turkey to solo if England is eliminated." This might may the trends more clear.

This is fascinating, can you you this for other nations?

A budding statistician such as yourself might want to check out a rather good little book, "The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules our Lives" By Mlodinow I think is his name.

TN, I want to state that I personally appreciate the effort you're putting into compiling this data. Have you considered turning it over to someone for archival purposes once you're done? Trying to dig through the forums to dig up the posts can be... problematic ;)

thats really interesting about Germany, i guess France can always run away to the southern seas but germany can only slowly crawl across the cold eastern lands to get away from a soloing pink english monster

@ don: i think that this will pan out after i have seen turkish results calculated in the same fashion

@ thuc yes im working on it for all 7 nations, france is in the works and if ill jot down the name and look for it if i ever have time to read (new baby and all)

@strat and TGM id love for these to be put someplace public with easy access. i can email you ghosty on all the finds as i post them if youd like.

Big Error or Small Error?
In the below map, notice that Naples' support is X'd out.
From the rulebook: "A convoyed Army doesn’t cut the support of a unit supporting an attack against one of the Fleets necessary for the Army to
convoy."
Although the resolution of my game is unaffected, the rules say that the support was successful, but it is not so marked.

Bimodal Statistical Analysis
The statistics thread made me think of this. For awhile, I've been trying to find some form of T-Test to do on a highly bimodal distribution (My family's bridge scores) to determine conclusively what probability exists that my brother and I are better than our parents. Does anyone know how to do this?

Is email notification of turns and PMs on the to-do list? Is it a priority?

It sure would cut down on NMRs for those of us who don't WANT to NMR but have very busy lives.....

a question aboot the phpLeagues...
Considering the point scoring is 12/n for an n-way draw, and 12 for a solo (so 6 for a two-way draw, and 4 for a 3-way, 2 for a 6-way... maybe some fractions for 7/5 way draws) There are precisely 48 D to be won by each league. What is a likely distribution of point?

WARNING: DON'T PLAY WITH "MASTERNINJA"
Just a friendly word to all: Avoid playing with "masterninja" at all costs. I hate to ever call someone out publicly or make a scene, but this guy really deserves it. Any game that he does not win, he will call the winner out for metagaming and try to get their account banned by the mods. He makes asshole remarks and just takes the overall fun out of a pleasant game. Avoid at all costs. Also, mods, please look in to banning this player. Many thanks.
