Ghostmaker Challenge Game
Since you dare to sneer at my point total, Ghost, the only solution is to burn some up.

You choose the map, the phase length, and the other attributes. Bring it.

statistics resource?
is there anywhere you can parse through tons of game histories and look for move percentages under certain circumstances? I would like to be able to find out stuff like: how often does italian fleet ionian go to greece in autumn 1901? if russia makes it into galicia, and austria is in buda but not vie, where does he usually go?

go to 'games', then 'finished', or if the game's not anonymous, check the player's history.

...and 'peruse', not 'parse', unless you're analyzing the message logs for proper grammar.

trip, "parse" is a common term and he did use it correctly.

@omg, there is no database system on webdip. It would use one helluva lot of resources to have one.

Ally BAin has some stats from games he's run on his website and as a GM at Dip2000.
The links are included:

Gunboat Openings (from 2 tournaments he ran) http://www.alb-gsb.com/diplomacy/stats/gunboatopens.htm

Normal Openings http://www.alb-gsb.com/diplomacy/stats/normalopens.htm

Here's a Dictionary of Dip terms just for fun. http://www.alb-gsb.com/diplomacy/articles/dipdic.htm

I remember seeing stats somewhere else. I'll see if I can track them down.

I have tracked 120 games which I have played on this game, into an excelsheet, if anyone is interested.
You need to try the Diplomatic Pouch, which is here "http://www.diplom.org/Online/". There's all sorts of information including an openings library for each power, sorted by popularity, with an examination of the relative strengths and weaknesses of some of them.

you should be able to get a grab of the databse, i know kestas made on available before. (i presume it didn't include messages between players, but had a log of all games.)

i wasn't able to open it in the software i had availabe because it was too big and crashed my computer, but in theory it should be accessible.

We make a ZIP file of the webdiplomacy.net database here, stripped of all messages, passwords/emails, and orders from active games of course, for things like this. I think it's a few weeks old, but it contains every order ever made on the site

I'd love to see someone analyze the data and post something to the diplomatic pouch zine or something, and give webdip a plug too, this is why we keep all this old data

Load it into a SQL-based database, then query it etc as you like. There is some work between the data and some neat stats on the best opening strategies, but if there wasn't someone would have already done it
orathaic (1009 D(B))
13 Sep 10 UTC
see i knew Kestas was awesome!

The actual looking at and analysing the data bit is difficult. (i think i tried microsoft access, which can open a database, but fails at large files) and i didn't have the right SQL software installed at the time... may give it another go if i have the time...

MODS - Please unpause this game gameID=34657
We paused for Russia a while back. By Friday afternoon, everyone (including Russia) had come back and unpaused except OZ. Its now basically Sunday and OZ hasn't come in yet. The phase has no orders for OZ, so he'd still have the rest of this phase and the next before he'd miss anything. Can a mod please force the unpause to get it moving again?

Why won't my orders load?
I've had this problem before.
My orders worked perfectly fine, but then, all of a sudden they stop working. It shows the "Now Loading..." post, but it won't ever load. In addition, messages stay at the first few messages and don't move the the last message.

I am just going to play password games from now on. Screw these multigaming bleepholes. And if anyone is curious as to whom I am referring may certainly check out my history and see who I played against tonight, Thursday night, and then look at the history of some of the players in that game.
