Are there any abbreviations / codes / whatever that new players should know before we sign up for various games?

Thanks.

Troll - D33
Political troll - Tettleton's Chew
Putin33 - radical left-wing extremism
Invictus - the opposite to anything of the immediate above
Draugnar - pure rage

Why did you switch the order of Description--Person 1/3 of the way through?
Sargmacher (0 DX)
13 Dec 11 UTC
Tettleton's Chew and D33 are pure definitions of 'Political Troll' and 'Troll', respectively, whereas 'radical left-wing extremism', for example, is a description for Putin33 but he would not be a pure definition of the term.

At the time I thought it was a logic that might sense. If it does not, I will repost the descriptions to avoid confusing BJ.

Oh they are different. It took me like 3 readings to find the difference though. Interesting the way you can ignore a mistake when you know what it's supposed to say.

Thanks for the tips, especially about the teabagging symbol. I'll be sure to throw that into my next work email. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Is there any way to deal with Games that are RTMTTNTEFOAGWWCTRBOESTOETEEIWOT (ready to move to the next turn except for one annoying guy who won't click the ready button or even submit their orders even though everyone else is waiting on them)?

@Boseph

Not really. You agreed to play a game with XX phaselength. If a player so chooses, he may take the entire phase.

@BosephJennet - May I call you Boe Mr. Jennet? :-) There is a recent trend to get people to pledge to finalize/ready on retreats and builds so that longer phases can be used fro diplomacy on the moves, but still keep the game moving. Of course, it's an honor system, but violate it regularly and you'll find yourself not getting invited to these games in the future.

14 Dec 11 UTC
I don't know if this is still the case, but back when the site was newer, people played with the honor system all the time and there were few issues. Before we had gunboat games, people just didn't message each other. Before we could vote to draw/pause, people would just order pause until a mod was free.

When making a game, does the time/phase mean time per turn, or for every phase? So if I put 1day/phase, does that mean it would take 3 days to get to Fall 1901?

Hi,
Sorry to everyone in the Second Series of my informal gunboat games but could everyone please vote cancel? As per the discussion led by Babak and ulcabb in threadID=803223, it has been decided that all the games must be cancelled and the tournament restarted.

Sorry about this inconvenience. Thank you for your continued understanding through President Eden and Mr. Crispy's replacements.
