Phase Lengths
So there are a bunch of game phase lengths in the range from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Why would anyone ever want to play a game that made them wake up every hour for (potentially) weeks? Has anyone ever used those phase lengths?

BRITAIN WTF WAS THAT!
all you had to do was support hold and we had him totally stalemated. Instead you try for some weird support move that has a 0% chance of working.

Or do you at least know to wait till the game is over till you start posting about it? Yeah, I fucked up. I thought I changed that order and was shocked that it was still in there. But how can you not at least bump Mun? Just a love tap? That is all it would have taken.

I was scared he would have tried to push some armies down the southern side of the stalemate line, which was not completely locked up, and that i didnt have to worry about the top because it was taken care of.

Well done Turkey ... letting you get 2 builds year 1 was a bad move but then France attacking Italy early on almost sealed the deal, this is how we learn, by making these kinds of mistakes. Did you learn anything France?
yaks (218 D)
28 Apr 13 UTC
No. I played exactly like I should have. It was out of my power to stop the stalemate. just because someone else issued a misorder which let the solo go through does not mean that I did anything wrong.

Poor old Detriot Tiger, gets his resign rate down from 38% to 9% and then gets banned for being a multi, some people have no luck at all ..... hahaha

I didn't know why before, but I always predicted DetriotTigers would be banned.

I think it's a huge red flag if someone comes on here, acts super confident in the forums right away, and joins a ton of games (44 in his first two weeks for this guy). It would be enough to have him put on the Possible Multi Watch List, or PMWL as it's known in the industry.
Partysane (10754 D(B))
28 Apr 13 UTC
I don't understand the ban. It says he is a multi, but in none of his games anyone else was banned. So obviously he did not play with two accounts in the same game...
Mapu (362 D)
29 Apr 13 UTC
You don't have to play with your multi. You just have to have two accounts.
Partysane (10754 D(B))
29 Apr 13 UTC
Hm, i had two accounts once because i wanted a nice new name. So i stopped using the Partysane account and switched to HappyHippo.(no i did not read the rules properly) Of course they noticed and banned HH as a duplicate but not as a multi. So i'd be intersted why this is a multi case.
jimgov (219 D(B))
29 Apr 13 UTC
He has points in play currently. He could be in an anon game where he is playing with himself (pun intended) and we don't know it.
yaks (218 D)
29 Apr 13 UTC
I had a multi (same case as partysane) and it was banned under the pretense of multi, not duplicate.
Partysane (10754 D(B))
29 Apr 13 UTC
Also the reason why i care at all is that i kinda liked DT. He's a kid (13) and a little clueless how diplomacy was supposed to be played, but he slowly got there (see his sinking resign rate).
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
29 Apr 13 UTC
I had a multi and I fessed up to it and had the second account banned. Seems like it's the same for all of us. My guess is that he didn't come clean when he was asked and that's about it.

It's weird, though. Everyone that talks about sports (first Pjman, now DT) gets banned and I'm left alone again o_O
jimgov (219 D(B))
29 Apr 13 UTC
@Party - Look at his stats. Like Mapu said, he's played in 44 games in the first two weeks. Actually, he's FINISHED 44 games in two weeks. Most people who join, I would assume, play a few to get their feet wet at least. If the mods said that he is a multi...and there is no new mod conspiracy theory floating around...then he is a multi. He cheated. He got caught.

Should We Feel bad for Refusing to Draw Out for 10 years?
gameID=111449 I bought in high, and flubbed a solo run. Once stalemate lines were drawn, I just couldn't live with Germany getting a piece of the draw. However, though I retreated in 1913, England England refused to execute him... I understand loyalty, but I refused to end the game. Germany CD'ed in 1925 making both of our stands on principle moot.

Minor bug
Several times in a game of mine, in the list of players at the bottom, it has shown that France is muted when I never muted France. I believe it has only happened when I've been in Russia's messages. When I switch to a different country's messages, it goes away, and doesn't come back when I switch back to Russia's. It's possible that it only happened when I'm first viewing the game after a new turn has began, but I'm not sure.

Ancient Med Stats?
Does anybody have any win/ draw stats for ancient med games? I know it's quite a balanced map but does any country fare notably better or worse than the others, such as can be seen with Italy in Classic, and South Africa in World etc.
Just by looking at the map I feel like Greece and Egypt might be worst off, despite my only ever solo on this site coming from Greece.
