Posting forum in a game
Sorry for this simplistic question, I have just joined up today and have joined several games. My question is this: If I sent a post during a game using the forum to a specific person, can everyone see it or just the person I sent it to? Thank you and apologies if this has been asked/answered.

Active Players
Please post here IF YOU ARE ACTIVE. it is becoming really anoying when a game starts and one player decides not to play, delaying the game by 48 hrs. This thread is intended for all active players to know who else is active.
Thankyou for replying.

Bug
It looks like for the past 3-4 hours there has been a bug in the pregame code, which resolved itself as I went to fix it somehow.

In 0.75 the gamemaster is separate from the main script, and bugs in games are isolated and allow other games to be processed, so hopefully bugs which bring the whole thing down will be a thing of the past

Sorry for the inconvenience

Msg alert
What would be great when you're viewing your list of current games is a star next to those that have begun a new phase or have new posts.
Also the ingame forums should have a new post icon if a topic has been added to.

Christmas truce?
Could we maybe have the site paused from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day? I certainly don't want to log on to keep my games going - I want to spend the time with my family. What does anyone think?

I'm speaking for myself now but I wouldn't like a pause. I'm home during Christmas and can easily find some time to be online.

Same here, it's easier for me to play this coming week. (Boxing Day??)

heh, i'll be on a four-day cruise to the Bahamas...
I guess this means I'm gonna lose all the games I'm currently in, but I agree that there really isn't much of a reason for a pause. :(

However, maybe we can have individual game pause buttons. Let the game starter be able to pause the game when they wish.

I'm at home from uni at the moment and thus it's MORE difficult for me to play over the festive period. And I'd rather spend time with friends and family anyway.

Plus, if there's a lot of gamers away, then continuing the games with most of the governments in civil disorder isn 't going to be a lot of fun for those that *do* remain.
Elwood (1194 D)
23 Dec 06 UTC
Well, I think it could be the same with every holiday .. People can go on holiday with Easter, or in the summer too ..
About the pause buttons, I think the gamemaster said it right, it could be abused. It's also not fun to know the game can be paused anytime just because one person isn't able to log in for a couple of days, so the rest of the players have to wait for him to get back.

It's a tricky problem, I think the points solution is probably the best; let the person with the most points moderate the game, and if someone wants to pause it the person with the most points can be the judge

In this case I don't think it would be good to put every game on hold for a week so people can celebrate x-mas and new years. And as someone else said there'd then be other holidays.
If the majority do want a pause then okay, but I don't think it's fair to pause otherwise

By the way happy holidays! Enjoy the Bahamas FlamingDragon

Ok, fair enough. I'll try and work out the times so I don't have to log on Christmas Day at least.
By the way, penfold, Boxing Day is the 26th of December.

Thanks kestasjk! :D

I'm cool with the temporary solution. Thanks for taking the time to make this game right.

I don't really mind, either way. It shouldn't really take me that long to issue my orders either way. And besides, I can always ditch the celebrations for a bit.

But it'd be nice if I didn't have to log on. =p

Automatic refresh
Every time I enter a game, the page starts to refresh automatically every 3 seconds, which gets a little annoying. Is it only me? (and if it isn't, can it be fixed?)

Not following traditional ruleset?
In a game I'm in France grabbed Spain and Portugal in 01 with 1 army. In the board game rules, a previously unowned SC has to be occupied in the fall to count as captured.

civil disorder?
When a country is shown as being in civil disorder, I know this means the player's left the game, but how do they do that? There are a few games I'd like to leave.

Be able to send an invitation email from the site. So you can type non members email addresses in which gives them a link to the game you've created, auto gives them a password based on the email address and asks them to create a user name.
Downside would be could phpDiplomacy cope with the huge growth?

Lost Passwords
Is there currrently a way of resending lost passwords? The player "Fart" had his password email put into spam and deleted, and now has no way of logging on at all. If there isn't a way to do this, I feel that it would be a valuable addition to the site.

More comments...
1) The whole site claims to be HTML4.1, but the game listing fail the W3C validation test
2) Please can you add a resign button. It would allow people who want to leave games to do so without their empire being wrecked for whoever tries to take over. Not a hard upgrade, just copy across some of the code from the script that sets an empire as in civil unrest.
3) I know its a break from the game, but i think that retreats should stay as they are. This is because, you can currently surround a unit, and attack it with three units, and yet it can then run away to one of your other nations. In a real battle, they would be followed. Basically, what im saying is that giving the ability to retreat to any free uncontested square allows players to make another move when those who 'won' their battles dont...

Unit creation phase bug
Hi! Dunno wether this has been posted or not, but a country should be automatically "done" on this phase if it has no supply centers, or has them all occupied.
In one of my games, a country owns 2 spaces on the map, none of which is a supply center and the player is not 'readied' yet. I've seen this happen before

A few ideas
sorry if I seem a bit foreward, or the ideas have already been presented.
1. Would it be plausible to organise the forum into sections? these would primarily include ideas and bugs.

2. along the same lines, will some form of forum moderator be installed, and the idea of editing posts?

3. How about being able to create 'player groups', where group of players who know each other could interact, and assign games to that particular group, so that players in a game will know each other. I know that the password option is already a good way for doing this, and for the moment it works as there are few members. However, as the number of active players grows, there will be too many 'joinable games' on display, and that can become confusing.
"Comments please..." (sorry to use your phrase figle, but it seemed appropriate.)

Fleet Movement bug
Whenever I move into Bulgaria from Constantinople, the fleet always moves into the north coast. Ditto for creating a fleet there. I think that Spain has the same problem, as does St Petersburg to a lesser extent (the problem there is only with creating fleets, not with movement as there are no ambiguous moves there)

Too many games running?
I want to start a new game (I'm bored right now), but it appears so there are too many games running?

There are too many games currently running, please try again another day.

What? Is there a limit to the games being able to run?

Comment...
Im not sure what should be done about it, but at the moment there is a problem. In the game #128 - http://phpdiplomacy.kuliukas.com/board.php?gid=128 - many players have not been playing. Infact, only Turkey, Russia, Italy and France have been moving, whilst the other three nations have not. This has lead to the fairness in the board layout being disrupted.
Possiblities include adding an option to:
1) Pause game
2) Resign from game
3) Kick players out after 2 days of no moves (goes with 1st!)
Comments please...
