I need a sitter urgent...starting from the 25th to the 30th.
Please reply below, with complete email info.
Best to be a reputed player, and willing to spend lots of time in this.
I've unfortunately got many games running at the moment.

Who would be interested in using Skype in games for communicating with each other?

I believe the game "Free Conquest" is drawn, as Turkey controls 17, but the other players have set up a stalemate line.

How can we propose/vote on this?

Russia is requesting the draw.
Turkey & Germany will agree below

in the game "()" (http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4635)
France is saying that me (Turkey) is not finalizing because im losing and trying to drag the game on, and that I need to show some sportsmanship. Now since that I didnt finalize, he is not taking the win until im dead

(details within)

Is there any other split of points available? Like winner takes all or second gets their bet back?

Well I told my brother about phpDiplomacy, and he's joined it. But would this be counted as multi-accounting since we have the same IP, I'm also in the same game as him so would this account to multi-accounts?

Takes less time to play than it took to secure South Ossetia from the Georgians :)

Hi if a fleet convoying an army with support from x units (other than the one being convoyed) is attacked by x enemy units, the convoy should still go through right ?

I'm England. Russia, France and Italy agreed on global, so they should write here about that, too.

Given the following situation:
Eng S Bre
Bre S Pic - Par
Pic - Par
(Enemy) Gas - Bre

Does this cut the support from Brest?
Can you cut any support moves regardless of the number of support holds this unit gets?

I just had this situation in the game
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4720
and I actually expected to get Paris.

The additive russiprocal. Cause I'm so clever. I believe it's a 102-pt game. Come join!

What happens if the time limit for your Pre-Game phase expires and not enough people have joined? Does the game still start with less people and give others the option of bidding to enter? Or does it wait for more players?

Anyone spotted his new accounts yet?

My experience as a mod elsewhere says he'll be back asap and messing up games.

This is a game for players who have played 15 or more games on this site.

in the following game: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4677

I took over Germany and when looking through the conversation with england there was never any asking for an alliance, no actual conversation. They merely state their orders. Is this usual?

I have one doubt. I am in several games where the phase is 24h, but sometimes the turn ends before the time. Ok, I´ve posted my orders, but how does it work?

How long does it take to go CD?

I am playing a game (http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5064) where France didn't play for 3 days now (he didn't answer any messages either) , but he has not go CD yet, so there is no opportunity for other people to take it (he still has 5 sc's, and could have 6 or 7 had he played).
The phases of these 3 days were Autumn, Retreats and Builds 1904 phases. He has been attacked and has lost a sc, but as he has not retreated, he has nothing to build and so he has the sign of "completed orders" from scratch on that phase.

As in that game England was CD almost from scratch, Germany has all the opportunities to grow, and so, I was forced to move into him too early, which is not so good strategically.

I wonder if retreats and builds count for going CD, and if they do, what happens if the country have no orders to enter. I suggest that even when there are no orders to enter, the player should say "Ok" or something, so he can be counted as a step to go CD if he doesn't.

What do you say?

Recently I've noticed this trend in the forums where I suppose there was some discussion earlier where a majority (or a distinct camp at least) was formed under the agreement that "if a player has an opportunity to undoubtedly win a game, s/he must do so." Please discuss.

With just 7 hours to go the newest variant of No Fleet Builds has just two players - please check your messages for your invite and password!

I've noticed that the Black Sea has some strange convoy options, particularly when convoying from Bulgaria. It says that I could conceivably convoy an army from Bulgaria to Greece or Smyrna when there is a fleet in the Aegean Sea; when there is also a fleet in the Ionian it presents the options of Albania, Apulia, Naples, and Tunis.

While those other fleets could legally perform the convoy, they should not appear on the list of possible convoy destinations for the Black Sea fleet.

This bizarre property of convoys involving the Black Sea fleet seems to only apply when the convoy is initiated out of Constantinople or Bulgaria; convoys starting from elsewhere along the Black Sea coast are only shown as convoyable to other territories along the Black Sea.

Is there some way this glitch could be fixed? I imagine a similarly confusing situation exists in the Heligoland Bight-North Sea-Skagerrak-Sweden-Baltic Sea-Denmark region as well as perhaps aroung Saint Petersburg with its two coastlines.

I accuse Tohr and GrandeBiller of multi-accounting, and suspect that the other five players in both of these games are also run by the same person. It seems that GrandeBiller has been creating games (and players) to give his account a higher win rate, to win points, and to screw with other games.

The two players are now together in nine games, seven of which are still going and some of which are with legitimate other players.

Can we ban these accounts and restart some of the games they are in? It's a real bother to deal with cheaters in a Diplomacy game, particularly when they are assigned neighboring countries as they are in http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5115 (France/Germany). If you're in another affected game, go ahead and post to reply with YOUR thoughts.

It's further suspicious when in that last-mentioned game the two players are the only two to have finalized orders, and they both did it within minutes of each other. Currently no player on the board has had any communication with them (except for possibly them with each other).

this game makes no sense

i took over a CD england in spring of 1904. i am able to make a move or two without anything happening. after I take some centers from russia, russia, turkey, and italy all ally against me. Turkey is clearly able to take numerous amounts of supply centers from either one, but he is just moving around them to get at me. and i was nowhere near harming turkey or winning the game. Anyone's opinion?

Why does Germany have 4 Armies on the board ??? They only have 3 supply centers.

What is the point? If you have to win by cheating you must be a very bad player. I've seen players like this when playing face to face games, they are like little kids that cannot stand to lose. Why even play if you cannot stomic to lose.

Dumb question time

When a unit is forced to retreat is "Disband" always an available option? The rules seem to suggest that it should not be. I need to know for one of my games and I have no idea since, as far as I recall, every retreat I have had on this site has also been a forced disband.

An update on the happenings in the Grand flashy & Chrispee diplomacy leagues is below

Me and Turkey at 17 supplies each
turkey will post below

Hello Kestas,

please, can you draw the game "NFL Fans" - http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4874

After a long and tiresome fight, and an even longer and public discussion :), we've agreed to a spectacular 5-way draw :)
The other players will confirm shotly.

Thank you.

Myself (England) and Russia have been battling against France and Italy for most of the game. Now, after we have made some advances, France has went CD and Italy is just going to end the game by taking France's SCs. Can someone please join this game to prevent Italy from winning? I will move out of Brest and enter in an alliance with the new France against Italy.
