Five-way game?

Hey, sorry to ask (as I assume this is addressed somewhere), but is there a way to elect to play a five player game (as in, I have four friends I want to play with).
Other sites allow this, but I like the webDiplomacy interface so I'd prefer to do it here if I can.

Obama: Ruthless or Clueless?

One of the big stories of Obama’s time in office was the death of Osama, which was widely regarded as a good thing despite no real effort being made to go down the arrest and trial route more normally associated with the good guys. Still, the way he was found raised a few eyebrows.

question re: convoys & support

If someone is convoying an army to a new location, and wants to support that move, do they need to support move form the army's location, or support move from the last sea location in the convoy chain?

Mr Gunboat EOG

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=105641

Well played everyone. Fortunately France only dropped when a draw was certain. Austria was a very tough opponent, but with the start I had as Turkey and no way to coordinate with Russia and Italy I was able to blitz through the defenses. Was never really sure why so little progress could be made in the west.

Banning recently?

I returned to this site a few weeks ago after about a year's hiatus, and it appears to me that there has been a lot of banning of accounts recently. In at least three of the five games that I've been playing in the past week at least one player has been banned mid-game. Are the mods clamping down on metagaming or is this something that's just become standard fare while I've been away?

Solo-win / Draws

As somebody who's used to the original Dip rules, I always thought of Dip having one winner only. There is no second place. But here, I seem to have to get used to draws as a regular game ending. So I'm curious, what criteria do people have for draws? When to draw? When to solo?

Alright, so say a fleet from Player A moves onto the coast of a territory. At the same time, an army from Player B moves into that same territory. Will they bounce? Or will the army take control? Or is it something else entirely?

Gunboat Mini-Tourney? 7 games @101, 1 day turn

Up for 7 consecutive @101 Gunboat games? We will play 1 day turns and compile total earnings. We can have multiple flights if there is enough interest, but one flight satisfies my inner beast. Let me know and I'll send passwords. Winter Breaking in style!

taylornottyler (100 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

101 is a lot of daggers to be throwing down for a tournament each time. especially if it's WTA. I'd be in once I win the game I'm in

Fairfax (1915 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

Sounds good, sign me up

Ursa (1617 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

Me too, tho I'd like if the phases were longer, like 36 or 48 hours. Also, will it be anon?

BreathOfVega (597 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

It's a gunboat, Ursa. It's anon.
I'd be in, but I'm waiting for Josunice's answer.
In case I'm in, I'll need a pause around Feb 10th.

Partysane (10754 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I am in. I would prefer to play all 7 games at once.

Gen. Lee (7588 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I believe gunboat only refers to the limitation on press, BoV, but maybe I'm wrong.

C-K (2037 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I would be up for this but wouldn't it be better to start after the holidays?

Stressedlines (1559 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I woudl also be up for it, and would prefer we play all 7 at once, but AFTER Christmas

Lando Calrissian (100 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I'd be interested, please keep me in mind.

josunice (3702 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

Ok - I meant no messaging and anon. I would like to keep to the 24 hour format. No problem if there is a need to pause - we are are honorable (when speaking in the forum <GRIN>). Note, this means 707 to get started this round - all 7 games at once. Let me know when you can start and we can start the first flight. I'll send out passwords. I would rather kick it off now, but I think I can manage a little patience...

taylornottyler (100 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

I hate all you rich kids with your unlimited dagger supply :P

Gen. Lee (7588 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

i have some cash coming shortly, so if i can get the 707 and you haven't filled up I'd be in for all at once.

Fairfax (1915 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

That's not what consecutive means. I would prefer to play one after one, but I will play either way, if everyone wants to play all 7 simultaneously. And we can start right now as far as I am concerned

Partysane (10754 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

1. josunice
2. fairfax
3. ursa
4. BoV (pause in feb)
5. partysane
6. C-K (after christmas)
7. stessedlines (after christmas)
8. Lando
9. Gen. Lee (when he gets the points - so... no)

Partysane (10754 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

So either get one more and start right now. Or get two more to not even pause in feb. Josunice... your choice.

josunice (3702 )
23 Dec 12 UTC

OK - I'll start sending out passwords now. C-K, stressedlines, let me know if either of you will be okay starting now. Looking forward to this! Let's keep the thread open to get a second flight going...

I sent passwords to:

Ursa (1617 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

I'd rather not start all seven games at once... why would we?

josunice (3702 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Let's give it a try. I'm up for it.

Gen. Lee (7588 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Yeah your right partysane, I only have 333 coming so I won't have the right amount, y'all have fun.

BreathOfVega (597 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

@Josunice, I am not the number (4) since I can't afford all games at once (btw, they're not consecutive, then! :D), you need 2 more.

@Gen. Lee: I was told that Gunboat means no press and anon. But I can't say if it's actually right. I'd be happy to know for sure...

josunice (3702 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Guys, please let me know when you join so I can keep track. Thanks! Looking forward to the virgin voyage!

Gen. Lee (7588 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Idk BoV? We need some more freaking cash. Lets make some off a live game real quick.

josunice (3702 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Ahhhhh, now I see the confusion... My bad. I meant concurrent, but wrote consecutive. BoV, Gen Lee, why not create a second 7-game flight at 25 a pop?

Partysane (10754 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Alright so the line up is:
1. josunice
2. fairfax
3. ursa
4. partysane
5. Lando
6.
7.

C-K (after christmas)
stessedlines (after christmas)

Missing points:
Gen. Lee
BoV (pause in feb)

Before starting the next tourney i suggest we get this one going.
So who is up for it? 707

to start, 7 games, Anon, No chat.

@josunice: Maybe you should ask one of the Mods to shuffle the players in a way so everyone gets to play every country once. Or do you want to keep it random?

Gen. Lee (7588 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

I'm only 19

away now. Planning to try for a 4 way draw on a 30 pt live game tomorrow and I may just make it with the full amount, well see.

Fairfax (1915 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

If we could get mods to assign countries, that would be much prefered.

josunice (3702 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Hmmm, is that possible? How do we see if a mod can shuffle us perfectly?

Ursa (1617 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

I'm out, sorry. Seven games at once is a bit too much for me.

Partysane (10754 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

@josunice: Write a mail to the mods, ask them to extend the time until the games start so we can find enough players go get it going and ask them to shuffel us when we are ready.

2ndWhiteLine (2611 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

If you need an alternate, I'd be interested. Mods can also shuffle players so that each person gets a country once, they did it for the dubmdell invitational.

Partysane (10754 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

I think you are in then 2WL. We still need one more, or lee gets his points together.

josunice (3702 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

Ok - I sent an email to the mods. 2nd, I'll send you the password. That gets use to 5.

Lando Calrissian (100 )
24 Dec 12 UTC

I had to back out sorry. My phone broke today, no way I can play 7 new 24 hour gunboats over the holidays without it. Apologies.

josunice (3702 )
25 Dec 12 UTC

NP, LC... Next round (if all my chips don't disappear).... Couple more open spots...

Gen. Lee (7588 )
25 Dec 12 UTC

I still got time. I'm taking all ur monies.
