The ethics of resignation.
I'm in a game with at least one utter moron, and several people who may or may not be. Is it ever OK to just quit a game because the competition is utterly uninteresting?

I'd really like to see more of these. You can learn a lot and get a good deal of perspective by listening to accounts of completed games this way. Post 'em up, people! Share the knowledge!

Ranking of web-based Diplomacy websites VI
This time it has been 13 months since the last time I did a ranking.

For some prior statistics, see threadID=477664, threadID=489951, threadID=513357, threadID=535114, threadID=538014 and threadID=662728.
JECE (1322 D)
19 Jan 12 UTC
I will consider statistics from BOUNCED (www.dipbounced.com), Online Diplomacy by deNes (diplomacy.denes.nl), phpDiplomacy (www.phpdiplomacy.net), www.stabbeurfou.org, PLAYdiplomacy (www.playdiplomacy.com), WorldLeaders the Game (www.worldleadersthegame.com), webDiplomacy (webdiplomacy.net), Conquest of Nations (www.conquestofnations.com), Droidippy (droidippy.oort.se), dip.xbsd.kr, goonDiplomacy (goondip.com), OliDip (olidip.net) using statistics from www.alexa.com/siteinfo and http://siteanalytics.compete.com/

I won't rank Facebook Diplomacy or PBEM websites primarily because I don't believe it is possible to do so for most of them. Because of this, I will only consider web-based implementations of Diplomacy on websites dedicated to that purpose. Tell me if I am missing any websites!
JECE (1322 D)

I am newly considering:
* Diplomacy by deNes
* Droidippy

Alexa on its Alexa Traffic Rank:
"
[BOLD]Alexa Traffic Rank[ENDBOLD]
A measure of a website’s popularity.

The rank is calculated using a
combination of average daily visitors
and pageviews over the past 3 months.
The site with the highest combination
of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1.

[BOLD]Updated Daily[ENDBOLD]
"

compete on its Compete Rank:
"
The Compete Rank is based on Unique Visitors and does not consider page views or number of visits made to the site. Rank is often used as a compliment to Unique Visitors to provide a relative metric that shows the significance of a site.

For example, in March 2007, eBay attracted 75M people, which ranked as the third largest site on the Internet within the U.S.

(The other sites "do not have Site Profile data")

Note: I could not in the end include Online Diplomacy by deNes because it is not a dedicated website. Droidippy also doesn't have a dedicated website, but I included it anyway because it seems to be just about all Oort Cloud hosts.

JECE (1322 D)

Adding vdiplomacy.com:

Alexa Traffic Rank: 2,922,283
Does not make for a Compete Rank

orathaic: Yep.
EvW: It looks like it!
JECE (1322 D)
19 Jan 12 UTC
Compete Rank has a new explanation, by the way:
"Rank measures the popularity of this site based on how many Unique Visitors came to the site in a month. With Rank, lower is better."
JECE (1322 D)
19 Jan 12 UTC
Yonni: I am giving two rankings that seems to be alternatives to each other. I wouldn't draw conclusions from comparing the two rankings like that.
JECE (1322 D)
19 Jan 12 UTC
The conclusions I would draw are based on the differences between now and a year ago:

Over the past year PLAYdiplomacy has widened its advantage over us. Our Alexa Traffic Rank has dropped considerably, while theirs has made important gains. And while our Compete Rank has only slightly dropped, theirs has surged

Conquest of Nations seems to have either utterly collapsed or grown much more popular over the past year, depending on which ranking you believe more.

vDiplomacy.com is either the third most popular Diplomacy site or is too puny to be mentioned, again depending on the ranking you use.

www.stabbeurfou.org has returned to obscurity.

BOUNCED has lost all popularity, it seems.

Droidippy owes its new existence to monopolizing Diplomacy on Android devices.

phpDiplomacy, worldLeaders the Game, goonDiplomacy, OliDip, dip.xbsd.kr have all moved or ceased to exist.

worldLeaders the Game = Conquest of Nations

I've played (or tried) at C.O.N. I am NOT a fan. The interface is a joke, and one game (out of 3) that I started didn't show any units at the start of the game, then after a turn, let me place units although the number of units I was told I could place, and the number it actually LET me place were two different numbers.

JECE (1322 D)
21 Jan 12 UTC
Jynx: Ha ha. Maybe you should go back there and try to recruit players for wedDip?
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

If SplitDip is the number one user/player on that site, this site has got to be better.

Maybe the number of games played should also be a factor in determining the site's popularity.
Is it better to have 100 folks to play 700 games or 700 folks to play 100 games?
Alderian (2425 D(S))

@JECE, note that you can get to vdip with either .net or .com. Would those therefore have different numbers that need to be combined to get the true numbers for vdip?

I played with Thumpington from that list and from my experience he is very good player, for others I heard off but never met them in game.
JECE (1322 D)
21 Jan 12 UTC
Alderian:
vdiplomacy.com Alexa Traffic Rank: 2,922,823
vdiplomacy.net Alexa Traffic Rank: No data

Neither vdiplomacy.com nor vdiplomacy.net "have Site Profile data" on the
Compete Rank

Seeing as visits to vdiplomacy.net are not counted at all, you may be right.

zultar: I posted the number of games played just to show that their top players seem to have far less experience than ours. Ideally, though, yes, I agree. Unfortunately, I don't think all the websites post all their statistics like that. Copying and pasting from Alexa is much faster in any case, ha ha.
