Hi, I'm new here.

Is there anyone translating phpDiplomacy to portuguese?

Created a new game... looking for players... first time n PHP...

it would be nice with we had a records chart somewhere on here!

I'm not able to get back into my game "For Love of the Game"

It takes me to a screen that says:

Error triggered: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 2.

The details of this error have been successfully logged and will be attended to by a developer.

the space seems to be too small for all the messages of one turn. I cannot see if all my supports were given or if an enemy army cut my support. And I only have 13 armies&fleets. Could the space for those messages be increased?

new game. interesting name. join up. :)

new game, no password

You cant defeat your own army, however, this happened:

10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Tuscany successfully supported the fleet at Tyrrhenian Sea move to Gulf of Lyons.
10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Tyrrhenian Sea moving into Gulf of Lyons recieved move support from the fleet at Tuscany.

10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ionian Sea successfully supported the fleet at Naples move to Tyrrhenian Sea.
10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Naples moving into Tyrrhenian Sea recieved move support from the fleet at Ionian Sea.

10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Tyrrhenian Sea attempted to attack the fleet at Gulf of Lyons, but failed.
10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Naples sucessfully defeated the fleet and moved into Tyrrhenian Sea.
10:21 PM Autumn 1912, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Tyrrhenian Sea was overwhelmed by an attack from the fleet from Naples, and forced to retreat.

Game ID:354

In the game 'warrr' I'm forced to retreat from Spanish SC - for some reason I'm not given any places to retreat in the menu although I should be able to retreat either to Western Mediterranean or GOL.

I was recently playing as Austria game where a German army was supported into Vienna. The problem is, I don't know who supported it- either the Russians or the Italians could have. It would be nice to have a place where everybody's orders were laid out for that particular turn. Is that possible? It would also be useful in other situations, for example, if you were trying to see how an opponent tended to move. Thanks!

I don't seem to be able to look at conversations older than a couple of days with any of the other players. Is this intentional, or is this a bug?

pls join

pl join

I have this error when i enter one of this games we are playing

I see continuously people asking the same questions over & over again & raising the same problems or refering the same bugs. I think this issue might have been also already discussed in the forum, but wouldn't it make sence to create some kind of folders to Forum which would help at least a little bit to differentiate & sort letters (like 'bugs & fixes', 'technical errors & problems', 'genral discussion', 'diplomacy rules', 'new games' etc.) thus make it easier to people to participate in discussions & find answers to questions (perhaps also some type of FAQ would help).

I have to admit that I don't have also have either time or will to go through all the letter-pile to make sure that this hasn't been discussed before.

I don't know if it's been brought up here before but I can't find it with a quick search of the forum.

Is there any possibility of anonymous games? I know it would take quite a bit of a change in the way games are created and joined.

I.e. If I want to start an anonymous game I hit create game selecting some kind of option on the way. Then it shows up on the join game screen as a "There are anonymous games available, click this to join one of them" Obviously there would have to be a number of them or it'd be easy to figure out who was playing where.

Then in the game user names are blank, just country names available. There's no way to stop players telling each other who they are but why would they.

Then after the game, all the players are unmasked.

Apart from is it possible, is it something people would like or use?

I'll be away for a week, starting tomorrow. I'm sorry if I had any games with you, but I won't be moving anymore. xD I'll start up again when I get back. Byebye!

Question - if a player updates his orders but does not finalize, do the updated orders go through at the end of the phase, or do all of this pieces hold as if he had not submitted orders. Thanks.

In the game "The Great Powers" I got these messages in GameMaster:

12:53 AM Spring 1913, Diplomacy: Your army at Trieste engaged the army at Budapest head on, but your unit lost.
12:53 AM Spring 1913, Diplomacy: Your army at Trieste was overwhelmed by an attack from the army from Budapest, and forced to retreat.

Why didn't my unit in Trieste switch places with Tyrkey's unit in Budapest? It is obvious that he moved with Budapest to Trieste and had support from Serbia, so he definitely should have gotten Trieste, but there is no reason why my army at Trieste is now forced to retreat or disband. It should have moved in to Budapest as it was ordered...
And just to be clear, Turkey didn't order any of his other units to move into Budapest as well, so that couldn't have been the reason.

what happens if you create two units in the same territory?

Right, as the thread below has got very very long, I'm starting this to ask:
Do people think that convoys should be linear or not? It is not to much more work to make them non-linear as far as the adjudicator goes, but it's the user interface that would become complicated.
Comments . . .

If someone doesn't enter orders, and they need to disband units, how does the game decide which units are disbanded? Can this be predicted to influence strategy?

figlesquidge made a couple of neat changes which have taken me way too long to merge in:
- You can now select whether to build fleets in the north or south of coastal territories
- The game now ends when you have 18 supply centers, not 18 units
Good stuff :)

I have tried getting on a new game, and I type in my password and then it won't let me on. I know I have been typing it correctly, but it's still not working. Any help lol?

The message "due now" has been up, and all of our players finalized a few hours ago. Is there anyway to fix this?

What would happen if you give orders and update untill all orders are complete, but don't hit the finalize button? I'm asking because it would be good if you enter orders which you're not yet completely sure of, but you might not have time to log in later and finalize them or change them.

I suspect that in game "Magyar", in Spring, 1909, an Italian fleet moving from Naples dislodged another Italian fleet on the Ionian Sea. Please check if this is what really happened. The original Diplomacy rules do not allow self dislodgement.

I'm France in the game Norloch. Autumn 1909: Gamemaster says my army at Ruhr successfully supported hold at Kiel, but it also says my army at Kiel was overwhelmed by an attack from the Baltic. Not sure why this happened - any help/info would be appreciated. Thank.

Hi there in game "European Vacation" - http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=427 we seem to have skipped a turn? It is now spring 1906 when I think it should be autumn 1905?

is it true that two units can support hold eachother and if so wouldnt constantinople/smyrna be inpentrable unless someone was in the black sea. in a game i play turkey and i only have my homeland territories left but they cant get into con. because they cant get into constantinople
