Order history text function - THANK YOU KESTAS
I just noticed the new order history as text, and I just wanted to say that. It's very useful to know about support orders for moves that didn't happen, etc. So thank j00 :D

Dislodgement question
This is a hypothetical situation.

Suppose England has armies in Denmark, Holland, and Kiel.
Suppose also that Russia has armies in Munich and Berlin.
Additionally, suppose that there is an Italian army in Ruhr.

The following orders are submitted:

(Italy)
A Ruhr stands.

(England)
A Denmark supports A Holland-Kiel.
A Holland-Kiel.
A Kiel-Ruhr.

(Russia)
A Berlin supports A Munich-Kiel.
A Munich-Kiel.

If none of the supporting moves are cut, is the army in Kiel dislodged?

honest support question
say that there is an army in livonia and a fleet in norway... i know that the fleet can support the army into st.p, but can the army support the fleet into st.p, even though it can only go to the north coast?
Feckless Clod (777 D)

Yes.
pavman (272 D)
27 Jul 08 UTC
Yes yes. the army, however, can't support the fleet anywhere.
Feckless Clod (777 D)

And why would that be?

When it comes to submitting your own orders, this is really fairly simple.... Kestas has done an excellent job of making the user interface about as idiot-proof as it can possibly be. There is, for example, no option for an army at Livonia to support a move to Brest. Nor would there be an option for an army at Livonia to support a move to Warsaw if there was no unit capable of ordering a move to Warsaw at that time, and if the only unit capable of moving to Warsaw at that time was an army in Prussia, then there would be no option to support a move there from, say, Ukraine. If the interface gives you the option of submitting an order, then it must be a valid order. It might be a pointless order, like supporting a hold for a unit that isn't under threat, or a futile order, for example if unit A is ordered to support unit B to hold, while unit B is actually ordered to move.... but it's a legitimate order even so.

Possible orders can be puzzling, then, only when trying to work out what your enemies are trying to do, which I presume is the basis for the question. Since an army in Livonia can be ordered to St. Petersburg, and since a fleet in Norway can be ordered to St. Petersburg (albeit the north coast), an army in Livonia CAN therefore support a fleet in Norway to move to St. Petersburg.

Led Julio and Aero - an update
I know I might be insisting a bit too much on this, but it's getting more and more annoying... not only Aero is allied with Led Julio in all his three games (the fourth being a country he just took from CD). In the game I am in, he has had a mathematic victory in his hands for two years now, but will not take it. And Led Julio trusts him so completely that he is not defending his SCs, even though by taking them Aero could win.
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4327
(the other games you can easily find from Aero's profile)
Shouldn't there be a way to prevent this way of playing?

New Player's Questions
I played by mail years ago and just saw this site so thought I'd like to try. I am just a little confused about the following:
1 How are orders submitted? Where on the game does one find the GM listed or is it some other way?
2.I communicate with countries using their country tabs?
3.I see games with supply center counts and maps. Where would I find the specific centers owned by each country and how do I tell who owns which armies or fleets on a map?
These may be rudamentary to those of you who have been doing this a while, as things were when I played by mail, but I can't figure them out and would much appreciate it if someone would be so kind as to act as menton. I might even resist the tempatation to do something bad to you some day. Or I might not.
Thank you in advance.

You don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it"

Just kidding around. But seriously, what is going on with this game? A new "no-moves-allowed" variant?

Rules question - mutual hold support.
If I have 2 adjacent armies and they both support each other (hold), does that work? That was the way we always played the board game, but I note that the green hold line on the maps always has a bar near one end of it.
Does this mean that the support hold in <area> command only actually works if the army in <area> holds?
Or do 2 adjacent armies each supporting each other holding both have a strength of 2 , as long as the support isn't cut by another attack?

The formatting on this site is completely messed up.
No graphics are showing up.
The fonts are all reduced to Times New Roman.
Is it just me (my computer)? Or is it a problem from the server side?

Changes in the icons
I'm not very happy that the icons of new messages & un-finalized moves changed to the text (new message, finalized etc.) - first of all, the game-tabs are now much wider, secondly, it is really hard to catch the situation with a quick look (it took me few moments before I figured out, which of the powers had sent me a message and it is very hard to differentiate the messages Finalized/ Not Finalized, if You take a look to the games section). So, if at all possible, I would gladly skip this upgrade & I would be happy if we would get the 'old good' icons back - at least in my opinion they were much better. Thanks.

New code from Facebook -> 0.81
We've completed the code merge with Facebook phpDip since they updated to 0.8, so now everyone gets the best features from both, I have less work to do when bugs happen, and more than twice the number of people enjoy the same code

We got a couple of nice features out of it too which Chris added to his ex-fork;
- Pagination for games listings, so you're not restricted to a limited number of games on the page
- Flexible phase lengths, so you can choose to play with 1 phase every hour, or 1 phase every 3 days. (This has been called for for a long time, not my favorite idea in the past but it seems every phpDip fork adds it so there must be something in it. Hell has froze over, I've eaten my hat, etc)

Kudos to Chris at Facebook
