Officially finishing a game - how ??? if (a) allies or (b) stalemate
What should the players do to have a game officially completed if
(a) two or more are allies and don't want to backstab each other or
(b) a stalemate amongst, for example, two allies on each "side"

StP north coast
I'm not sure if it's on the to do list to create fleets on the north coast here, but it's making Russia far too vulnerable to Britain in Scandinavia.

View a game with password?
Hi there, is there any way to let somebody view our password-protected game?
We have friends who want to keep tabs on the game (in order to make fun of anybody who loses a battle, I think...), but I can't see that game in the list of "Viewable Games". The game is password-protected, mabye that's why?

Does anyone know if the rule the prevents you from dislodging your own unit is implemented? What about a dislodged unit's support always being cut?

HAHA didn't see that one comin!
Spring 1907, Diplomacy: Your army at Piedmont sucessfully defeated the army and moved into Marseilles.
Spring 1907, Diplomacy: Your army at Marseilles was overwhelmed by an attack from the army from Piedmont, and forced to retreat.
Spring 1907, Retreats: Your army at Marseilles was destroyed.

the only reason i supported myself in is because Marseilles was going to be moving out but that got stood off and i was afraid that Marseilles was going to be attacked in the end i probly got the worst deal!

Hey Kobra!
Could u kindly cease playing the game finalize asap? having a multi account and playing both russia and austria is ruining the entire game. Now Russia can do a double prong into turkey and germany, because he knows he will never attack himself. Its absolute tomfoolery.

two armies defending each other
I'd like to see this sort of thing in the program, because I know it's part of the board game, and it seems that without it you wind up with too much guessing and not enough diplomacy. I think the game would be better if we could hold on to gains more easily by just having the forces in two adjacent territories defend each other. Anyone agree? Disagree?

I think a good idea would be that if you know you're not going to be on, you can resign from a game. Or finalize holds in advance.

why shouldn't they trust each other? don't be ridiculous with accusations; there is no rule against having them an alliance

Is it possible to log the connecting IP address in the database? Also, maybe give all players in a game a warning if multiple players share the same IP. The downside is that "honest" players (on a shared IP) may be wrongfully marked...... Maybe some statistics will show if this is a problem?

Exactly. I go on when out of the house to make sure I go on within 24hrs, but this means I go on many of the same locations as my friends. Indeed, in some games I am allied with my best friend, and this alliance would look to you to be rather suspicious for England & Germany. Also, because I recommended this place to him, he joined a day or two after me. Therefore, I dont think thats a good idea!

remember, IP addresses are anything but static (there is an international shortage), it would be very difficult stop people having multiple accounts using IP addresses as you could obtain a new new IP address just by rebooting your modem.
perhaps cookies are a better option as most people never clear there cookies (only when they need more disk space :) )

I think that close friends who use this server for fun will be wrongfully targeted by any sort of crackdown but I can also see how cheating could get very annoying. I don't suppose there can be a repeat offeder sort of thing where two people are allies too much? Is that possible? I think people should know by reputation who seems to work together a lot and react arrordingly.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 Mar 07 UTC
Its a hard subject to deal with, and to be honest I think the best thing to do is that for now nothing should be done about it other than by Kestas.
The crux of the issue is that people like me and hippykin are good friends, so often go on via the same IP address's, and this reason/excuse could easily be used by people cheating.
contracase (706 D)

I think that's the case for a lot of people. I agree with figlesquidge, and want to point out that once I found out about this game, four of my friends joined so even though I won't be allies with them all the time, I would be targeted for cheating.

What's being done
Just posting to say what's currently being done by those of us developing.
Personally, I am working on the coast troubles, and currently debugging the code allowing for creation at St. Pete's North. After that, I will just need to make some slight changes to port it for use with moving to the multiple coasts of Spain/bulgaria.

Convoy questions
1. with the present version, what happens to a convoy if the fleet which is doing the convoying is attacked but not dislodged (i.e., a 1 on 1 attack) ?

2. if in (1) the convoy is unaffected - assuming the destination province is unopposed & the army can move there - can the convoying fleet be given support by another fleet so that it would not be affected if two "bad guy" fleets had a coordinated attack (attack w. support)?

Feature request: resolve turn when all players are Finalized
In case the devs ever have too much free time, it would be neat if the game started a timer once every player has finalized their orders. Once the timer expired (say after 5 minutes), the system would resolve the current turn.
This would be great for those rare bursts of attendance that our group sometimes experiences (to offset the long droughts of inactivity...)

Cancelling a created game
Found your site via google, absolutely awesome. I was trying to set up a game for my geographically scattered friends but we were hoping to set it to 7 days per turn not 24 hours. I then read the forum and have since learned the impossibility of said task.

So is there a way for me to cancel/destroy/delete my ill-considered game creation?

Apologies for the error.

Civil disorder
- what is currently the official rule about civil disorder? in some games, players haven't been online for several days, but there is no civil disorder breaking out; so otherwise fast games are slowed down; if civil disorder breaks out, the country will soon be taken over by a new player, but sadly these new players often are unhappy with their desperate situation and stop making moves and the game is slowed down again

- what do you think about this new rule for treating civil disorders:

(1) If a player did not move within 24h, first level civil disorder breaks out immediately. If all other players finished next turn, the game will not wait for the player. No other player may take over his country while in first level of civil disorder. If the player comes back, he may move as normal.

(2) If a player did not move for a whole year (counting spring+autumn, but not retreat and build up phases), 2nd level of civil disorder breaks out. Players may now take over the country.

(3) Add an option when creating a game, that prevents players from taking over a country in civil disorder.
