If I lost, and have less than 100 pts, do I get the points back? Because I lost in Wombat and Friends, and where are the 15 I bet?

Now the Autumn holidays (woo, three cheer for basic education!) are over, I'm back, and in a few games.
Just wondering though: when i went i was on less points than when i returned. What happened?
PS: No, i didn't have any active games either. Has kestas given everyone 100pts?

In "Unit placing" phase I am entitled to build 3 units, but I want to build only 2.
Can I achieve this? How?
My two hypothesis:
1. I leave 1 create field empty. I will be able to finalize the order?
2. I give a wrong build order (say a fleet in Munich). Other build orders will be executed correctly?

Someone knows the answer?

In the game "Bored..." Spring 1903, i was Austria, and i went to take Venice, but this showed up:
Spring 1903, Diplomacy: Your army at Trieste attempted to move into Venice but there was a stalemate.
which means that the other who was going for it cant get there as well, but didnt know why, France got in, so how is it a Stalemate?
(Game Id 1941)

the pot is 50 per face, please join

the pot is 250 per face, please join

are you sure there's no penalty for not finalizing?

I have played so many games on a real board that I was intrigued by the idea of playing on-line.

So far though, in my first two attempts, I have:

a) mistaken an Autumn move for a Spring move, leaving a vital support out of my orders; and
b) set up a very good Autumn move and failed to wait to see if the hurriedly pressed Finalize button actually went through (it didn't), leaving me dead in the water...

I have learnt from this. However, my main point is that in the live game, it is the errors that make it so realistic, especially when players with largish forces are under great pressure of time to write orders. I suppose I should be pleased that I have a whole new load of player errors to contemplate with the on-line version.

I am hoping to improve my grade befoe the end of term.

I'm beginning to think we need a bigger and more organized forum to accommodate all the players now. There should be several different sections of the forum, each with a set topic for posts. Like Newbie Help, Bugs, Multi Accounting, Casual, etc.

I feel sorry for people who needs to go for the trouble in creating 2 accounts so they can feel how a winner feels.

Do you really needs this? Is your life so low?

Is pathetic.

The 3 remaining countries agreed to a 3 way tie.

Can this be done ?

I tried to do this once with an ally, and it seemed to not work. So, I'm weary about doing it again. Let's say I convoy an army from London to Holland. I also have a Fleet in Helgoland Blight that I want to support the attack with. How exactly do I support the Convoy. The only option I see for support is "support north sea."

Can I choose to disband units at will, if so how? I apologize if this has been asked ad naseum.

In this game, france had a ship in brest in the spring.
but in the fall, the fleet has not only moved to the english channel, but also convoyed an army to mainland england. how did that fleet move and convoy both in a single turn?!?

Well said

Take a look at last few turns of this game:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1741

Italy had at least few chances to finish the game. It's getting annoying to continue this as I it is clear that gonzo who is playing as Italy has won.
This was supposted to be my last game but instead of having fair competition I was accused of multiacounting as stoni90 and now a player won't finish the game.
The only thing I can do is advice you not to invite gonzo in your games.

does anyone here think they spend more than an average of 2 hours a day on phpDiplomacy?

Sorry, maybe i'm being thick here, but how do i get my friends to join the game i created???

Could an authority please supply one?

At what point does an alliance become wrong?

Greatings everyone,

first im saying hello to everyone. I am new at this community and new at this game. although I know the concepts of diplomacy I dont know the tactics and strategy's people use online. I invite u all in my game "hi, im new". And I hope u guys dont mind it why the bet is only 5 points ;).

Please dont mind my English, I am from Holland and I prefer to speak Dutch.

Hope to see you soon in my game

I have spent a bit of time reading/searching around recently - there is some interesting stuff out there. I have drawn up one board myself, but not tried to get people to play-test. I am reluctant to tinker with the rules.

Anyone got a recommendation?

I like to play lives games and organise these when I can. It would be nice to have an alternative board/rules to use in parallel with the original.

I seem to be unable to enter my moves, I am only being offered the choice to disband a unit. However, the Gamemaster logs clearly show that this is not necessary and that all my units are in accepted positions...

I played email dip games before so I am somewhat familiar with the format but every site is a little different.

My questions are. How do you enter the orders? What is the timetable for orders (how often)? Do you need to download and/or install anything to play here?

Thanks

Kestas, please put all my games into Civil Disorder, so people can pick the games earlier. Thanks.

It was a pleasure playing with all of you, I will now stop playing phpDip. Regards everyone.

in the above game, i am austria who had rumania, i moved the rumania army to serbia & the budapest army to rumania, & it said my army entering rumania had a stalemate, yet the fleet from black sea made it into rumania!? why?

I'm back from my long sojourn. I apologise for going CD in all of my games a long time ago; I wasn't aware that I would have so many problems getting to a computer in Taiwan, so I wasn't able to save myself, and I haven't been back since as I was quite embarrassed.

So in summary, I'm sorry and Hello again!

Turkey is winning this game through the use of Germany as a vassal: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=1722

Turkey tried to make me a vassal, and I "accepted" but tried to sabotage him instead. (He caught on and betrayed me back.)

I maintain that it's demeaning for anyone to actually serve as a vassal just to get some points, the metagaming equivalent of selling out for too little money. No one should accept a "vassal" offer from me, because I'll be lying. I like to go down fighting. How about you?

are any moves from north africa directly into spain permissible? i assumed not, but would like to clarify this kind of thing.

Game: "good luck to all"
Bet: 11 points

Kestas, could you please set up a draw in the bc02 game? All players agree.
