Newbie looking for my game...
Sorry if this is obvious, but nothing in FAQs helped. I joined a game yesterday, my points went down from 100 to 75 (and still at that level) indicating that I joined.... but nothing shows up under "my games". How do I find the game I joined? Am I missing a step?

They get the debt deal....and before the ink is dry, Obama is out giving his victory speech, proclaiming that the battle is not over, that everyone must sacrifice....Higher taxes are on the way. Kind of make a dude want to puke.

ANON Games...Revealing Names...
Would it be considered cheating, meta-gaming, to reveal the identity of someone in a game that is supposed to be Anonymous? It happened *twice* in an "anonymous" game. sigh....
orathaic (1009 D(B))

revealing their own name or some other player's name?
Cachimbo (1181 D)
02 Aug 11 UTC
I think it makes no difference if it's your name or that of another player. At the end of the day, it's another diplomatic tool. It's left at the discretion of the person who knows whether or not he'll be better served by venting the id. of a player (whether himself or other) or not.
Most of the time, when that kind of guessing game begins, the game is well advanced and it doesn't really affect the way one plays it. Most of the time...
I don't think it's necessarily against the rules, but it is bad form.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
02 Aug 11 UTC
i think it is strictly against the rules, "Use common sense and respect other players."

The game is anon for a reason. Revealing your own name is poor form, revealing someone else's name is against the rules. However you may have found it out. Investigating someone's name is also against the rules.

This should all be considered common sense.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
02 Aug 11 UTC
however, if you're giving out your own name you are losing the protection that anonymity affords you, and this shouldn't really harm the game, so i don't know that there should be any punishment for revealing your own name.

however revealing someone's else name is not appropriate.

imho.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

I don't see what the problem is here. There's no way you can prove you are who you say you are/who someone else is, so why would you believe them?
I used the tactic once against Sydney City, he fllipped a shit and I was able to use it to my advantage. There is no rule against it and it is a guess in the first place, therefore I believe it is perfectly legal.
gramilaj (100 D)
02 Aug 11 UTC
@orathaic would you consider it against the rules if someone were to lie about knowing another player's username in an anon game?
Draugnar (0 DX)
02 Aug 11 UTC
I consider it just another tactic and until the mods declare it secifically against the rules, I will use knowledge like that (real or made up) to my advantage. The player(s) you are giving the name to don't know if the info is real or not, and it's a great way to use a name that would be a regular target (like draugnar) against a certain player. I've often convinced other's that someone else was me just for the purpose of redirecting their wrath.

SacredDigits (102 D)
02 Aug 11 UTC
I was just in an anon game where I was sure BESM was Germany and played accordingly.

Turns out, he was Italy and I got fucked over by playing Germany as if it were BESM. I agree with Draug, it's a valid tactic. And I was floored when I recently discovered that my style is known enough that people can tell who I am.

Both made the games more, not less, fun to me.

Zultar...how ironic to see you commenting...
bottom, line if you were smart, all you would need to do deflect such a charge is to say "Ha, sure" or "Man I hate that guy" or "OK x (where x is the name of the guy you were accused of being)" or finally "You're wrong" and no one would be able to tell.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
03 Aug 11 UTC
@krellin, I am not sure why it's ironic that I am commenting. I have never revealed my identity or anyone's identity for that matter in anon game. If you are thinking about the game that we are in, go back and reread the posts. I never said who I was.
krellin (80 DX)

Oh...are we in a game together??? Funny...just went through your games list....I dont' think Anon games will show up....and....huh...I didn't show up in any games. Show....how do you know we are in a game together again?

zultar (4180 DMod(P))

Ok, krellin.
That makes a lot of sense that I am a fucking jackass.
I don't think you know what that means.
krellin (80 DX)
03 Aug 11 UTC
i.e. ZULTAR somehow knows that we are in an Anonymous game together. I suggest that Zultar is a fucking CHEAT. The only thing I know about Zultar is that someone names him as a player in an anonymous game that I am in. I did not specify that....but he seems to know it. ZULTAR IS A FUCKING CHEAT.
krellin (80 DX)

that amazing thing is, Zultar is such a fucking arrogant dumbass that he mouths off while being a cheat. Zultar the Cheat. Zultar the Cheat. Kind of has a natural ring to it, doesn't it?

Hummm, you aren't too bright, are you?
I made the game that you joined and I gave the password to six people. That's how I know, dumbass.
And then, there are your game records and GR.
I see why there are plenty of people at this site who will ignore you. I thought I give you a shot to play in a courteous game, and you have been anything but courteous.

Enough said.

What a miracle that would be if someone just happened to name Zultar as a player in a game I am in....and then HE VERIFIES IT....and then it just happens to be true.

My game records don't show this game, Zultar. Plus, someone ELSE in the tame identified you as a specific nation. I.e....you revelaed yourself specifically to that person.

You are a fucking cheat. You pretend to create an anon game....but don't play by the rules.

Cheat.

Did you miss the part of this thread where it was determined that revealing who you are is allowed, it is just not advised? And you do realize that you are still posting cheating accusations in this thread too...
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

krellin, please calm down.

I've just checked the email, and you've made no formal complain. If you have a legitimate concern, let us know and we will look into it.

We try to keep this forum as unmoderated as possible, but we really don't want to hear unsubstantiated cheating accusations throughout the forum.
krellin (80 DX)
03 Aug 11 UTC
Cheating accusations? Oh...I was led to believe that it is not cheating to reveal names in Anon games. if it is....then I will submit....NOW.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
03 Aug 11 UTC
@jmo, agreed.
Furthermore, I did not claim which country I was playing. The game that we are talking about was an invite game that I created and posted a thread about, and a list of people signed up. So it's clear who are the people in the game.
I don't think krellin understands that that isn't cheating.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
03 Aug 11 UTC
"Cheating accusations? Oh...I was led to believe that it is not cheating to reveal names in Anon games. if it is....then I will submit....NOW."

Really cause you seemed to believe otherwise before:

"You are a fucking cheat. You pretend to create an anon game....but don't play by the rules.

Cheat."

After nearly 3.5 years, I finally finished 100 games!
I like how I still have single digit survives, since survives are my least favorite, they mean I gave up a solo while alive. I was kind of hoping for 50 draws and 25 wins, along with the 16 defeats and 9 survives, then D = 2w, w = d + s, D = w + d + s, and d ~= 2s, but suppose I won't complain. ;-)
