I'm curious as to the age of most people on this site, as well as to their general location (eg, country.)

I imagine that it's fairly widespread.

Preference Lists
I am asking this here to see if it is popular.
Would people like to enter games with a list of prefered powers in order?
A recent poster said he did not like Italy, while that is my favourite. Oddly I dislike playing England and Turkey. Would this be hard to code?

Possesing multiple accounts
I'm kind of new to the site but I understand people have more than one account and play in games with those other accounts to cheat. Would having a second account but you don't use it to cheat be against the rules?

I need a sitter for 1 game this weekend. It's 1902 and I'm Russia. I'll probably need 1 or 2 turns made. If you're interested let me know and I'll set it up for you.

Thanks

Mr. Austria
It seems to me that i have a tendency of being Austria over and over. Out of the past 7 games i've played in 5 i've been Austria. Does anyone know why this is?

It's either sheer luck, or the ghost of Franz-Joseph I reaching out to you from the grave. I prefer the latter.
Troodonte (3379 D)
01 Sep 10 UTC
You sure?
On your 27 visible games you have been Austria only twice...

If the 5 games you are refering to are not visible (anonymous ongoing) it means that the system is working by giving you the country you have drawn less...
well it's about time you got austria right?
Avenor (287 D)
01 Sep 10 UTC
Franz Joseph had a great mustache...
I sympathise with you though. I find Austria to be a terrible country to play so if I was in your shoes I would no doubt be terribly frustrated.
Troodonte (3379 D)
01 Sep 10 UTC
I'll repeat...in 27 games he got Austria twice!
That's trully unbalanced but the other way.
I got Austria four games in a row. ...I think I'm dead or dying in each one. One due to my roommate being a jackass and sending in all-hold (-_-), one due to me being a dumbass tactically, one due to a WT rolling over us and one... actually maybe it was just three.
Philalethes (100 D(B))

Odds are odds. There's nothing stopping you from getting it 40 times in a row.
Troodonte (3379 D)
01 Sep 10 UTC
As a matter of fact...the system increases the odds of getting a country if you have drawn that country less times than the others...that must be the explanation for this...
27 games - Asutria twice... now the odds for autria are on top... start getting it.
BigZombieDude (1188 D)

Yeah....what Trood said.
ODaly (236 D)
01 Sep 10 UTC
In addition to Trood's message, the nation assignment algorithm only updates its calculations after you finish a game. If you were lagging behind in times playing as Austria, but then joined a bunch of games all at once, they all have an increased chance of being Austria.

on the subject though im still not entirely convinced that TMW isn't diplofool.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
02 Sep 10 UTC
ODaly, I believe you are incorrect. The nation assignment algorithm should update its calculations when a game is started. This has been asked of Kestas on the developer board and he has confirmed this is the case.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

@ Thucy: "im still not entirely convinced that TMW isn't diplofool."

Dr._The_Master_Warrior_Ph.D. most certainly IS diplofool. This has been confirmed by the mods.

I think I've been Austria 4 times in my 10 finished games and won 3 of them.
Draugnar (0 DX)

TMW is diplofool. The mods declared it so.

As far as the country algorithm, that has been corrected. It no longer waits until the game is done, ODaly.
ODaly (236 D)

I stand corrected.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Oops, didn't see the early post re: the percentages being recomputed at game start. Sorry about that ODaly.
