I just came back here after a long absence (Yay point system! Rock on!). I remember there being an issue where we couldn't support convoys or something. Could somebody tell me the current status of adjudicator issues?

Thanks.

This has been a problem for a long time, under *nixes the chat box text area doesn't autowrap properly, you can't see the last few lines of text before the line wraps basically. you may want to lower the column value on line 146 in chatbox.php and add WRAP="virtual" as an attribute as well. this will work w/ all browsers and all OSs i believe.

Also the chat post box is wider than the table cell, might want to lower it's column value as well.

when i test it here the following renders really well (again, line 146).
****SNIP****
<TEXTAREA id="sendbox" tabindex="1" NAME="newmessage" ROWS="2" COLS="50" WRAP="virtual" ></TEXTAREA>

In most sites of diplomacy i have seen that the winner takes all the points. I think there are good players who havent win a game but are constant in their games.

I think it will be a good idea to see implemented a system of points where the positions are based by recieving points depending in what position you came at a game and not on how much games you won or not.

Can i break a support of a fleet that is in Bulgary south coast attacking with a fleet to Bulgary north coast?

if also player called 'GameMaster' would gain some extra points for a change, so it doesn't have to stay with 100 points forever ;) It would be 'points for the house' or something.

Does phpDilomacy run properly on a Mac (OSX)?

Any known display problems?

Thanks all...

I think it's about time we brought up the "trust list" idea again. If new players have a clean record with no CD's, multi-accouting, or metagaming for a set amount of time (like 4 weeks or so), then they will automatically get put on the trust list, where they will be able to play with other people already on the trust list. Those not on the trust list will play with others not on the lists for no points.

On more than one occasion I've noticed players that were down and out (some outright eliminated) refusing to commit their final disbands/orders, whatever. In effect a final ,'Fu Twa', to whomever was against them that game.

I say we should be able to call out folks who have logged in to diplomacy, made moves in their other games, but refuse to make their parting orders...

which is the best (in your opinion) opening for france when he suspect that germany and england are planning an attack on him/her in the first turn?

i know that this another server but can someone tell me is that there is a problem registering at dipbounced? im trying to register and is impossible. is anyone having this same problem?

thanks

..how many people (out of 29 possible) would go for a game, where the pot would be 1000 per face :D To win this game, means to be automatically in top of the list. Anyone dares?

In the game "Cheap ol' Game", Italy attacked Bulgaria from Aegean Sea, supposedly entering South Coast, then i forced him out in the Autumn move, but then he retreated into Rumania, which is supposedly only accessable from the North coast. How was the retreat possible?

02:08 AM Spring 1904, Diplomacy: Your army at Constantinople engaged the army at Smyrna head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

02:08 AM Spring 1904, Diplomacy: Your army at Constantinople was attacked by the fleet at Aegean Sea, but sucessfully defended.


Turkey only had one army in Smyrna and a Fleet in the Black Sea. how did i get a stalemate in Smyrna?

from bul(sc) can i move in rum with a fleet? in diplomacy we cant, but this game isnt diplomacy...

There has been and error in the best game ever. I supported myself into Warsaw from Silesia with the army in Moscow. There were no units next to Warsaw to support and only my units next to Moscow and none of them attempted to move to Moscow.

I was wondering whether its worth having some added information next to a players personal page. for example below the amount of wins a player has there should be statistics on their 1st place winning percentage and if possible all the rest placings. the reason i bring this up is because the points system lacks in that an active player playing in more games will lower his personal points, therefore lowering his ranking from MasterMind to Pro or whatever the progression is.

Join this game... Bet 18 Points. Good Intermediate Game.

anyone think their good enough for general monty?

In http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1810 that game, I'm playing as Austria, and I managed to whittle down Turkey to one unit. At that point, the original player for Turkey went CD, and while Turkey was still CD, I took over its last supply center. However, a new player was still able to join because of the CD, so now there's a Turkey with 0 units. Is this WAD?

(Responding to Chrispminis from the best game thread)
The current point system encourages people to enable another player to win. Players will ally themselves with the leader for a chance to come in 2nd place (i.e. be the 1st loser). I'd say a minimum of 80% of my games since the point system was created have had this problem.

You experienced it yourself in Masterminds 5. Italy had to know that Russia was going to win given the way the game was going. There was no chance Italy would gain 18 SD while remaining allied with Russia and 100% chance that Russia would.

From my perspective, what the points system has, in effect, done is to make all games team wins. Except that when playing real Diplomacy a team win is completed after the alliance controls a total of 18 SD, not when the stronger of the two does. I think this is an important difference. Were it the former option, the game would end with most of the players on the losing side (the other 5 countries) with one or two or even more SD remaining. What ends up happening is two countries split 90% of the pot and most of the other players are eliminated entirely.

When a country is in civil disorder, the game continues and the country in civil disorder can´t move his armies. Is this true?

Please post the best game you have ever played.

sono nuovo di questo sito e vorrei cercare giocatori italiani per la partita intitolata: COLLAUDO

Gentlemen (and Ladies, if any Ladies waste their time with Diplomacy) -

You will find a new game, The Game the Third, open to all comers. The bet is 36. I look forward to meeting you on The Board.

Kestas-

In Game #1831 (or "Sharp, Pointy Knife"), I am Russia and have a fleet in the Ska. France has a fleet in Belgium, and he supported me into the North Sea this past move. He said that this message came up under his GameMaster tab:

it said:
Sun 02 AM Autumn 1903, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Belgium successfully supported the fleet at Skagerrack move to North Sea.

I do not know if this is a bug or if he's lying to me. Can you try to fix this please? Thanks!

I clicked on "view game" next thing i know I've taken over a country in civil disorder. Maybe i rpessed the wrong button, regardless I don't want to be in the game "ruler" and I feel bad for slowing the game down as I am not going to put in any orders.

Hey I am new to phpDiplomacy and was toying around with creating a game and accidentally created a public game. Is there anyway to edit or delete it once created? Thanks

I was in a game. I was a travel for 4 days. When I back I don't find that game, neither in my games, neither jionables, neither viewables, neither finished. Where is my game?
