Myself and a few friends have been considering running a speed game recently. The principle behind this is that all players agree to finalise in five or fifteen minutes.
What we were wondering would be if it was possible to have that one game set at a fifteen minute phase length, to reduce reliance on people keeping to their prior agreement to finalise quickly. This could also be applied in the long term as an option when setting up a game.

Come and join

Not going into a game in three days sends your nation into civil disorder, and this is fair.
However, you can have a problem if;
-in an autumn turn, you move and have no retreats
-have neither gained not lost supply centres
That's two 24hr periods during which you have no orders to give- and are reasonably unlikely to log in to that game. Say you are the first to finalise in the last autumn, that's up to 23hrs 59mins more.
Therefore, if you're late into finalising for the next spring, you go into civ dis, and your orders are automatically finalised.
So you end up in civil disorder without missing a single Diplomacy phase.

I've been hit by this a couple of times, and it's very annoying.

Current game Crib. Why can't austria retreat from Bulgaria into Greece?

The update to 0.75 has been completed, but all orders made during the previous version have been wiped; if you submitted orders before this message was sent and the game they were for has not yet gone on to the next turn, you will need to make those orders again.

Changes:
- A new chat box that lets you talk in realtime
- A retreating unit can retreat to anywhere except where the displacing unit came from or where there has been a standoff
- New units can only be built in the supply centers within your country
- To own a supply center a unit must be occupying it during Autumn
- Some UI and internal enhancements

Hi. I'd just like to introduce six new phpDiplomacy players.
First, myself. A keen Open Source user, I was overjoyed to find a community project like this for one of my favourite games.
Then the others. firefairy91, ReapingStone, The Dark Lord, TheTyrant, and Lord Taeleon are all new to Diplomacy, but won't be easy pushovers; they're all keen and intelligent.
We are all from a forum about a book I'm writing, and there's a good chance even more users will me joining. So look forward to playing against at least six new and unique phpDiplomacy players!

Long story short:
- I went to fix a bug and upload the files, but found a file I hadn't put there that turned out to be malicious
- I reported the malicious file, but for some reason there was a mix up and they thought I had put it there
- I had a discussion with an administrator and we eventually got it all resolved

Sorry about that, it should all be sorted out now *fingers crossed*

All process times have been increased 24 hours

I have a problem with messages. Today I discovered alot of ppl talked to me, but I never saw an enveloppe, so I didn't check them anymore. Can you do something about this?

another newbie question - how are game player messages replied & received during a game - do they go to the player's regular email? does the reply, if any, come from the player simply emailing a reply back?

In the Vladivostijch game (id=192) my fleet has been forced to retreat from Bulgaria, where it was on the north coast.
Nothing happened in the unoccupied Rumania last turn, but I'm unable to retreat there.
Why is this?

I just downloaded the zip files but don't know how to install the game - is there a simple install function?? If not, what do I have to do to install it (Windows XP system) Thank you

How are people able to play so many games concurrently? Even 4 games at once seems confusing to me...

Is there a way to mutually agree 2- or 3-way draws, as in conventional diplomacy? Obviously by negotiation, but I don't think the game can currently be forced to end in a draw even if all parties agree...

In the game titled "Entropy", the board indicates the movement of a French fleet from Spain directly to North Africa--a move that is not possible. How might this error be rectified?

I am involved in an offline game already in progress, which we want to move online. Is there a way for me to set up a game here and place the pieces as they are in our offline game? This would also involve assigning countries to particular players.

Thanks for the help.

G.M.

I recently gave a fleet orders to move to Bulgaria from the Aegean and instead it moved to Greece. I'll grant there is a 5 percent chance I gave mistaken orders, but I'm pretty sure I didn't. Has anyone else experienced this sort of fluke?

Hi I am totally new to Diplomacy and this site.

I am thinking of using this game for an english oral comm. class i teach but have a few questions: -

1) is it ok to use it in a classroom with up to 30 students? i.e copyright issues etc?
2) How do players negotiate with each other? by e-mail, in-game chat?
3) are the games played 'live' under time limits or does each player email other players their moves?
4) if it is 'live' could i create a passworded game that only my students could enter and play each other?

Many thanks for anyone who can give me some advice on this!

I want to apologize to everyone from being away from my games over the past several days. I recently moved back into my college dorm and my internet connection is not working. However, I'm going to log back on everyday, as I think I have found a computer on the campus that'll give me access.

I'm sorry about the problem.

Has anyone ever played this game?
The author claims it is based around his passion for Diplomacy, but with the aspects of air power and political power as a game function. It's certainly on an map very similar to the standard Diplomacy map.
However, it uses dice to select political power at the end of a turn, or so I believe. This would seem to me to lose the essential beauty of a purely skill based game, but I hope someone can prove me wrong there.
Anyway, the website for it is;

Please join, its a brand new round.
