So, I've got Rinne G NAS as my stud goalie in this auction draft I do every season...
...and he goes down with this hip infection. Gone for at least a month. So I pick up J.S. Giguere as he's the best goalie available, back-up status notwithstanding.

Would a 3-Party System Really Be Better?
With all the increasing discontent over the latest issues in D.C. coupled with the Tea Party and Libertarian Republicans getting more air time, it seems as if there's a bit more sentiment towards a 3-party system among citizens. That being said...would it really be better? Would it really change anything beyond adding a Tea Party/Libertarian/Party X cable news network the way Fox = Republicans and MSNBC = Democrats?

NMR, CD & Etiquette
Why do people refuse to cancel when there is an NMR in Spring 01 or a CD in 01 (or even 02)? What is the point?

Work at home? I work in an office.
Discuss. I think word should be done at the office. YES, I've seen the TedX movie, it was brilliant, but I still think having a place where you physically meet and greet your colleagues is important and - dinosaur that I am - I think it's where the work should be done if it's in fact office work.

NMR in the first move - why not automatic cancel?
People cannot be counted on to cancel it as time and time again has shown... or space to confirm before starting... or boot and auto pause before processing the turn... something please...

I'd even add in - as soon as there is a Ban. The further into the game the further damage is done.

I would vote for (if I had a vote, that is) adding this as an option, but not requiring it for all games. Nothing on webdip could be more frustrating than wrangling in 17 people to start a world game and commencing press with 16 other players only to have the game auto-cancel because ONE person NMR'ed.

There's got to be a penalty though... dock 7 times the points for the game... but you couldn't ban or lock out the player because that would spoil *all* of the games they were in making it a contagious problem... people who value ghost ranking have an actual *incentive* to NMR in the hope that someone will take over their game because resignations don't count against you in that system...

Problem is even if everyone votes cancel, the deadbeat makes us wait around to CD, and inevitably by then someone gets greedy... I have to work on a broken game more than a good game to keep from getting screwed...

Anyone who NMRs in the first turn of a game should be docked $10, direct from their bank account.

We did harvest everyone's bank details, right?

In vDip you can use some reliabilty when making a game ( so ppl that have CD to much in earlier games can not join )

Min Rating: The minimum reliability a player must have to join your game.
Min Phases: How many phases a player must have played to join your game.

and a NMR policy: that you can program after how many turns miss someone go in CD

Good idea. Something really should be done about it. Nmr on the first turn is my n°1 frustration on this website.

I think the game should simply extend the first phase as many times as necessary until either all players have submitted orders, or a player has missed it twice in a row and been subsequently kicked. An option should be added to either end the game there as a cancel, or continue the game under the assumption that you will find a replacement or cancel it yourself.

My first full press non-anon in 6mo
Looking over my profile, I realized I've become way too concentrated on anonymous and gunboat games, and haven't played full press classic since at least March. Discuss the relative merits of gunboat and classic, and meanwhile, join my game. http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=128395

Position: 9822 / 9823 (top 100%) Really...? am i really the second worst player in the game? I would assume there are a bunch of people who haven't won, and plus i have more draws than defeats. I'm confused
