Sitter.

I'm going on a trip up to New England for the weekend, and I won't be able to get on a computer. I'm leaving tonight, so I won't have enough time to ask for a pause and find a sitter if it doesn't work out, so can someone sit my account for me? I've got three early stage games going on, so if someone could help me out here I'd appreciate it. My email is in my profile.

Games goes to "active games" rather than mine...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before or if it's intentional but when I click on the "Games" link at the top of the page, it now takes me to all "active games" rather than my games as it used to. I much preferred the old behavior.

A Forced Strategy Change in 0.9

I see several complaints about the new looks and how distasteful someone might think they are. Frankly, I’m not one to welcome large visual changes, and I will miss how simple PHPdip was, but the new style will grow on me whether I want it to or not. However, this long-winded post is not about the aesthetic changes, it is about how one change in 0.9 has changed the way we’ll play Diplomacy together…

Is there a way for the mods to force CD?

We have several (three, in point of fact) players in our game who have not been seen since early June. We just managed to get the game unpaused thanks to the intervention of the moderators. At 72 hours per phase, it will be some time before these players drop off on their own, and forcing CD will allow them to be replaced all the faster, making the game better. Is this possible?

Changes to how retreats/unit placing is handled?

Did the update change the way retreats and then unit placing is handled? In one of my games I just retreated, and then had to destroy a unit. When we got to the unit-placing/destroying phase... my retreated unit isn't showing up on the map (though it is showing up as an option to destroy). Just trying to make sure I'm not about to lose TWO units.

I didn't get to build!

gameID=12114
When the build turn started the game crashed so i was unable to enter a build. When it was fixed it went straight to the next turn so I'm going to be down a unit for the next year.

Can a mod fix this for me?

0 pot game.

I made a 0 pot game last night. I'm pretty sure thats not supposed to happen. But it would be cool if we had games that didn't take up any of your points. That could open up a bunch of doors.

Are new games starting?

I went to the new games tab, and saw at least 5 games with 7 players and waiting to start. It seems weird that all those games got filled up in the last 5 minutes, so it makes me wonder if new games are actually starting or not.

Has anyone had a game start in 0.9? And if so, did it start as soon as there were 7 players, or did you have to wait until the clock run down to 0?

How to get inside people's head (in real life)

so there's this person I know who is really insecure and at the same time he's been placed in leadership positions that I don't think he's quite ready for. and now I think I'm going to have to start dealing with him alot more often. he can be quite obnoxious aswell. so my question is, how do I get inside his head and drive him nuts? cause I couldn't beat him in a real fight. lol

One User - Multiple Accounts? Admin's please read.

Hi, I have a question guys, how do you investigate if someone is using multiple accounts? What are the actions if you believe that someone is doing so. I felt I had a pretty strong case, so I decided to report what I've found.

raid1280 (190 )
21 Jul 09 UTC

I believe that someone that I'm playing in a game is using multiple accounts.

Heinomat1893 is in my game Quick Dagger II:
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=12075

He is playing as Turkey, Russia is being played by Ello19. They are currently allied in a Juggernaut and are doing very well. I believe that Turkey will in fact win this game. But I think there may be some unfair play here. I examined Heinomat1893's account history, and found that he had been in 3 games with a user named Ello. I checked out Ello's profile:

http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID=15635

He has only been in three games, each of which have been with Heinomat1893, one of which was won by Heinomat1893. He is not active in any games currently.

I then checked out Ello19's profile:

http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID=16331

This one is less convincing because he is only in 5 games, and only one with Heinomat1893. Regardless, I think this deserves some attention. I find it interesting that both Users (Ello and Ello19) have been involved in games with Heinomat1893, several of which where he has done very well.

I may be completely wrong on this, but I thought it deserved at least a mention.

Thank you for reading this, and please let me know if theres anything else that I would need to do.

Is it still possible to contact a moderator via this email? This situation has progressed into personal attacks in the global forum and I would like some action taken.

Xapi (194 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

Of course it is, why didn't you do it in the first place?

aoe3rules (949 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

attacks in Global? You're not supposed to accuse someone inside the actual game. But apart from that, you have done a good job with your reporting method (thanks especially for not posting the usernames in the summary).

aoe3rules (949 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

Huh, something's wrong with my connection or something. I know the first thing I wrote was "Personal".

Draugnar (0 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

Well, with regard to the personal attacks, the mods won't do anything really. The view is "it's all part of the game." and with it being in the global chat, you should be able to use that against them and get all the rest to back you up in decimating this/these player(s).

raid1280 (190 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

To xapi - I did send an email to them. I was checking to see if there was a new email because of the website change.

To aoe3rules - I didn't actually accuse him, I just made everyone aware of the fact that I suspected it. I essentially posted thelink to the forum post within the global chat.

To Draugner - Yeah, I suspected as much about the personal attacks. But please, go to this global forum (you can read the messages by scrolling to the bottom and clicking on messages), and read the posts. I don't really think that those posts are the spirit of the game. http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=12075#gamePanel

Its very unfortunate because I really enjoy this site.
