Indy's Clever Pet Tricks To Win Games List (Please Contribute)

1. Find the players that CD most frequently, set up a game, and invite them! In a game chosen at random (truly), these were the percentages I found for the 7 players: 17%, 20%, 10%, 2%, 43%, 0%, and 29%. Truly! Just imagine if you could find 6 players with 50% rates!

Summer Gunboat Tournament: Interest Thread

I've been talking to trip about organising a summer season of his gunboat tournament. Before I get serious about it, I want to gain some feedback from participants of the just-finished tournament and also make sure there is enough interest to field it at all.

Convoy Error message

I receive the following message when trying to convoy an army from Armenia to Sev. Parameter 'viaConvoy' set to invalid value 'Yes'.
Is this a common error? The move is surely legal.
This is an anonymous game, so I am reluctant to post the game ID.

Suggestion- buying points

This seems like a good idea to me. I've only 2

left, but if we could buy points(to a set limit), this has a 2 pronged benefit.
It allows me to play more games(or higher pot games) and gives money to those developing the site.
Thoughts?

He isn't obligated. Unless he has morals which may provide said obligation.

SantaClausowitz (360 )

it helped for sure, i might have been able to hold him off for a bit but i think he eventually would have got the win

You could maybe try outmaneuvering him in the north through Chersonesos but I didn't really have time to study the board in depth :)

SantaClausowitz (360 )

it was possible to win, but i didnt want to take a win like that

ulytau (541 )

I completely understand that but considering Rome's attitude, it could be a nice lesson in personal integrity for him. If you act like a jerk and still lose, while you could be nice and draw or cancel, something along this line.

But the board looks funny, if I hadn't jumped in, you could've win but couldn't have forced him to draw (at least IMO stalemate line through Chersonesos looks shabby, Miletus would be better, but you probably wouldn't have the choice to switch those two). Plus you were behing in builds, tricky situation.

I have an even worse situation. I am playing in http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=56670
Notice that this game is a live, anonymous no-messaging Med that started two days ago. Persia went into CD for whatever reason. Everyone else then voted for Pause, and that is where the game is two days later.

Notice that Egypt wants to unpause, although I can't see that it is practical as I cannot know whether or when the other players are online. Note that neither Rome and Greece have voted for either Cancel or Draw.

I just want to move on and put this game behind me. I have sent two e-mails to the mods, but I haven't even received a reply.

What can I do to close this game, bearing in mind that I can't communicate with the other players, or even know who they are?
