Is it okay to create another account if we want to play in more?

in the game "Bourbon Dynasty" Austria, Turkey, Germany, France, and (possibly*) Italy have been sort of inactive. this could be just a bunch of idiots.
BUT...
All of them have their orders finalized. And all of the orders are HOLD orders. someone is probably having them hold until he takes their supply centers. the person controlling them all is probably England (more likely) or Italy.

* I said Italy was a possibility. why? he issued a move order the first turn, F NAP - ION. but he didn't do anything the first turn. I said England was more likely because they (or he) let him convoy into Belgium.

btw i'm Russia.

Can you support a move with more than one army/fleet?
can you support an enemy move?

Sorry to all those playing with me, due to an across the world move and no internet at my new home, as well as other difficulties, I can no longer play. If there is a way for Kestas (who i presume runs everything) to automatically put me in CIV DISORDER, so people can take over right away, I'd appreciate it. Good luck.

The game, Cyrus in Transoxania, is for those who can play without cursing out those who back-stab them, pre-formed alliances, meta-gaming, a compulsion for going into civil disorder, whining, and other ridiculous behavioral stunts

I opened my first game! All welcome to play

I am in a game with several friends who will be leaving town for the weekend, is there any way to stop the game from advancing turns?

Does everyone here think it would be a good idea if there were a phpDiplomacy IRC chanel? Or is there one already?

I think this would be great to be able to jump on, chat to fellow players, discuss strategy, form alliances etc. I know we have the fourum here, but I think that an IRC channel could be good.

Let me know what you all think.

is it possible to quit a game?

A new game, for beginners, if possible.

Is it possible to swap the territories that 2 adjacent units hold, or would this be processed as your 2 units attacking each other?

For example - if I had an Army in Naples, and a Fleet in Rome, would I be able to move my Army to Rome and my Fleet to Naples, or would they remain where they are as they would actively defend themselves against what appears to be an attack?

Thanks :)

I have to go out of town for Labor Day weekend. In case you dont know its a holiday and a 3 day weekend. I probably wont have access to a computer for 3 days. Is there anyway I could NOT go into civil disorder in my games. Let me know SOON Im leaving at 2:00 eastern standard time. Im in 8-9 games and Im sorry if they get screwed up

In the game (id 1113), http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1113&orders=on#orders

I moved my fleet from Denmark to Sweden, at the same tine Russian fleet was in GOB. Now at the end of spring turn Russian fleet is occupying Sweden and I'm in Denmark, although the Gamemaster notes that:

Spring 1902, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Denmark attempted to move into Sweden but there was a stalemate.

It should be important for me to know if Russians had support from English (in which case it's definately not a stalemate) or it's some kind of error??

I've gotten Germany in every game i'm in. Is that just a fluke or can i choose my country?

I found that when I cut convoys it [the game master] would give me the message "Your fleet in [territory A] cut [territory A's] convoy order." Which should be "Your fleet in [territory A] cut [territory B's] convoy order." anyone else with this problem?

Come join this game. Ideally for very experienced.

Is there anyway that I can see the history of all the moves in the game, and not just for my country but for all the players. Also, can I see it in shorthand notation, not that ridiculously annoying wordy explanation ("Your army at Venice successfully supported the army at Tyrolia move to Trieste".)

Kestas, in the game below, Caldernet has not logged on since Sunday night but he is still not in civil disorder. Would you mind have a look and telling me why. It is really slowing things down.

In official rules you are allowed to supply more than one convoy to a destination, so if one is attacked but the other is not the convoy will still succeed.

I'm curious: how will phpDiplomacy implement that rule?

I'm having trouble reading my messages - they run down the page & get covered by the map. Anybody else suffering from this? What can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

The game de_dust2 was created. Please join.

I joined the game Towers of Ilium <http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=782> by accident (I clicked "Take over for a civil disorder country" when I only wanted to view the game). I have no intention of playing in that game. I don't believe I've made moves for a while now, but I still haven't been put in Civil Disorder (perhaps because I am active in other games?). Anyway, can you manually put me into Civil Disorder? I believe I am just slowing down the other players ...

Is there a way to choose what country you take over when there are several countries in a game in Civil Disorder?

Is a way to pick a country when you're joining a game? Is it determined by order joined? If so, in what order are countries assigned?

I find it odd, that i cannot pick which coast of spain that my fleet sails to, it makes a big difference if you wish to attack gas, with support, can this be looked at and possibly fixed?

I think there should be less time for retreats and unit placements. It doesn't take 24hrs to decide where to place your pieces, and it holds up the game.

My friends and I have started a phpDiplomacy clan/league named "Donkeys United". If we can find two other clans, we can try a clan war-type game, with two people from each of three clans and one neutral seventh player in one game.

The gameplay would be slightly different: there would be less diplomacy, because (almost) all players are in a team at the start, but that doesn't mean that there is no diplomacy at all, of course.

For those of you worried about players in a game playing in a team, at least in a clan war game you already know who's in a team ^_^.

Just an idea, of course!

I think I've raised this before, I asked how the code determines which units to disband if no orders are entered, the consensus seemed to be it was either the units who had moved furthest from their home supply centres or the earliest units created (which would tend to be the same units).

I'm playing a game where England is in Civil Disorder and has just lost his home territories, the only supply centre he has is St Petes. He had a fleet in Norwegian Sea and a fleet in St Petes, and I was hoping and expecting the fleet in St Petes, being furthest away, to disband so I could move in and take it with just 1 unit.

Didn't happen. So I just wanted to double check again, and wondered if anyone else has encountered circumstances where it would be useful to know in advance which units were more likely to disband...

Austria:
12 (10.1%, 6th place)
England:
15 (12.7%, 5th place)
France:
18 (15.3%, 3rd place)
Germany:
23 (19.4% , 2nd place)
Italy:
8
Russia:
17 (14.4%, 4th place)
Turkey:
25 (21.1%, 1st place)


this lists how many games each country has won on phpDiplomacy. i made a chart and put a tally mark in each category for each win, then counted them. (yes, i know it's inaccurate, but it can't be completely wrong)

i just thought some people might want to know this.


Note: not all of the finished games in phpDiplomacy are listed on the "games finished" page. this adds up to 118.

is it possible to support a convoy move? my friend tried it and it said it didn't work

the game is

What happens if i create a fleet in Paris?

Will it be able to move or not?
