Rules question
Alright heres the tricky situation im in. I want to break support by attacking from a certain province to another, a move that will inevitably bounce. The problem comes in because that spot is under threat from 2 other provinces. I have counteracted this by setting the 2 armies in two ajacent provinces into making a supported attack on my own province, hopefully to counteract a supported attack from the enemy when it comes. ill this work?

Error in Diplomacy
The situation was Navy in English Channel convoying Army in London to Belgium. Germany has consulted me and confirmed he had supported move into Belgium with Fleet in Holland. However, the support was not read by the program *perhaps problems with convoying?* and France's army in Belgium held, despite having no support.

Eseentially two versus one, the support however was not read so the convoy failed. Germany had written Fleet in Holland Support Move to Belgium from English Channel since London does not border Belgium. Shouldn't that work? Please reply admin.

Cookie problem?
"You gave an invalid session key which was removed. Please try to log in again." This is the message I get when I try to use the system with IE. I cannot even get to the login screen. However, Firefox works. The problem started when the server was having some SQL problems.

A sabbatical
Those of you whom I play against may have noticed a distinct deterioration in the quality of my play recently.
I've got so much on at the moment I'm going to take a break, as I've simply not had enough time to devote to phpDip recently.
I'll finish all my games, but won't join any new ones until I've a bit more free time- maybe in summer. (July-ish, for all you antipodeans)
It's not goodbye, it's farewell, and it won't be for a while.

A silly bug
I feel like i should bring it up anyway becuase i know you guys want to know about them. When I click on "Log on" i have to refresh my browser to bring up the actual log on screen. Im pretty sure it does it in both explorer and firefox.

Not accepting orders.
In the game Free #5 (id=552) I submitted a string of perfectly legal moves, none of which have been carried out.
I simply get a "Nothing happened involving your units this turn" message.

I would guess this was due to a database error, and the game thus not being able to save the moves.
However, if no-one in the game was able to make moves, then maybe it wasn't too bad. Otherwise, possibly it would be better to hold all games

Hmm looking at the order logs it doesn't seem to have got any orders, though the other players mostly did submit orders. There are also no error logs to indicate anything went wrong (which is pretty rare these days), and the game would have crashed if there was a database error.

I'm tempted to think that the database was moved as Dreamhost said it would be, and you submitted your orders while it was being moved, but that seems unlikely because they mentioned they would take the site down during the move.

About when did you submit your moves? And did you finalize them? Did you go back to that game after you submitted your moves but before the game was processed?

Thanks for reporting this

I'm not sure when I submitted them, as I'm only on phpDip at random times now...
I definitely finalised, and saw that the orders had been finalised (where the page refreshes after updating and finalising.
I doubt I went back after this though.

I'm now convinced there's a problem.
Almost exactly the same thing happened in the game Conquistador (id=556), only I got a retreat message this time.

this is a bit out there, but is it possible someone guessed your password and changed some of your orders?

Moving defeated games
Personally, I really don't think games where one has been defeated should go in the "Your games" tab, because I think this should be any games you are playing in.
However, if this was changed, where would it go instead?
Personally, I think "Finished Games" in the section for your games...

Unable to insert orders
About 45 minutes ago the page was down & I was unable to insert my moves - due to that I lost many units in game 'Free #3' - does anyone know what happened & why there wasn't given any extension to insert moves after the problem solved?

Feedback on changes on game-end rule
- Game now checks for 18 SCs instead of 18 Units: works fine

- Game performs check at end of unit creation phase: could be improved a little bit; check could already be made after retreat phase; it does not matter whether I build up new units anyways, so why wait for it?

Civil Disorder
I know a country goes into Civil Disorder at the end of either 2 or 3 (I forget) main phases: Autumn or Spring moves. But does the check occur at the beginning of one of these phases or at the end? The reason I ask is if it is the first, then the rest of the game may be forced to wait 48 hours while the one country has retreat and disband orders sitting. If the check occurred at the end of the phase, then civil disorder could go into effect more quickly, but still give players a decent opportunity to get in and submit orders.

The Somme, id=513

Both are stuck at the end of phase, i.e. "due now". I think revisionist history has been stuck for more than a day now.

do unfinalized orders get processed?
if the phase deadline is reached and your orders have not been finalized, does the game simply have your units in hold?

or does it use the last orders you put in even if unfinalized?

finally, does finalizing and then unfinalizing make any difference if you miss the deadline (e.g., due to computer problems, etc)?
