Update for Intro?
I've noticed in games people moving into a supply center, and then moving out before builds phase. I feel like there should be an update in the WebDip intro properly explaining how the seasons/phases work, because it seems like every newbie messes it up.

Campfire Songs
Some of you are definitely not the people to ask, but I'm asking anyway... what are some good campfire/bonfire/whatever songs? The internet is really cliche on this top-priority issue in my life.

ArmyandFleet - cancelled
I was just in a anon. game that got cancelled - after many, many turns. At last we (the big majority of players) succeeded in getting 1 player to vote cancel.
My question is, is there any way in getting to know who played in that game, now that it is cancelled?

PS: I was Russia.

The answer is no, unless the players are willing to come forward. I have no idea what steephie was asking.
Middelfart (1196 D)
27 Aug 15 UTC
Ah, well, thought so. Do you have any idea why this is? I mean, why cancelled games are just removed as if they never happened?
JamesYanik (548 D)
27 Aug 15 UTC
cancel's definition is why.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Well, on the internet, nothing really goes away and you should be able to find out if you have the means and lack the morals..

I was being funny but my comments do have a strong tendency to fall flat over the internet.
The short answer is no.

What are you going to do? Subpoena every ISP in the world for the IP addresses that visited that gameID? Or try to use a memory scrapper on the server?
Middelfart (1196 D)
27 Aug 15 UTC
Well, being a person who do not have English as my first language, I tend to not realize jokes on text if they are not obvious.

And, well James, that something is cancelled doesn't mean that the information about it per definition goes away.

Cancelled games *may* remain in the DB. I don't remember, you'd have to ask JMO. Either way, the mods won't release that information for a cancelled game.

^He (Middlefart) wants to find out who Spain is because Spain was being a complete jerk and wouldn't draw or cancel because the NMR's were working in his favor. (I was Germany)

Unfortunately there's no way to do this at present. I think we should probably change this.

Thanks a lot for your statments, for me a reason more to do not cancel a game.
Draw it and you see all and win the share of the bet from the NMR-player, my opinion.
Friendly Greetings from Vienna

Yeah, improving the way we do cancel is definitely worth doing, I think.

Cancelling doesn't remove any reliability information- so a player in CD will still have that reflected on their profile.

Maybe in the future, cancelling a game should just prevent it from affecting non-reliability profile stats?
Gerry (3173 D(S))
27 Aug 15 UTC
Good idea.
Maybe "cancel" isn't the right concept we want. Something like "abort" a game. You know, like stopping the game before someone has won or drawn. The game still happened, no doubt about that. It just didn't get to the point where points/GR get awarded to the winner(s).

A large portion of the site would be unwilling to vote "abort" though...
JamesYanik (548 D)

but the game is 'unfinished' so it won't affect your stats, such as your solo rate

Out of curiosity, is it possible to cancel a game after it's finished?
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
27 Aug 15 UTC
Yes, but it can cause changes in published GR, so we don't like doing it.
Middelfart (1196 D)
28 Aug 15 UTC
Wow, I just cracked down laughing from Nescios question and ATC's response :-D

@ThatBuhlLarry, that's actually only a minor issue for me. I really want the info to be able to say thanks to the other players who voted draw/cancel from the very beginning of the game and exspecialy you, France, England and Egypt who put in the time to make it effortless for Spain and Turkey.

Unlikely percentages or Bad Luck on Computer Draw
I am sure I am not the only one who suffered from this but as I drew Italy for the 4th time in 5 classic games this summer I thought I would hear about others with similar strings of playing the same country. I have only played about 10 classic games from the start since I joined and even that is well above average percentages.

I'm designing a board game and wondering about the production side..
I can't produce everything myself of course, but I do want to have as much control as possible and make it 'my' enterprise rather than giving the design to someone who takes care of everything while I'm getting a part of the profit.
I do need some professional stuff to really get it off the ground, though. No clue how to go about this. Approach the nearest board game store and get information there?
