Request thread
Are there any bugs that are still around that I've missed? I think IE is still having problems with the chatbox but other than that the bug reports are slowing down.

And what are the small tweaks you'd like made? I'm hoping to start on 0.91 in a few weeks and I'd like to know in advance what needs changing. Things have settled down enough that I think people can give a reasonable list of things that are genuine annoyances and not just knee-jerk anger at change.

Cool Firefox Addon - Text Area Resizer & Mover
I just found this tonight. It enable you to resize the text boxes in forum and games. I find them a bit small - with this you can increase the size.

Pause Problem
In http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=12706 all players tried to pause. When the last player paused the game sent a message "Ships in the Harbor" has been unpaused. Now for the last 20 minutes the game has been stuck on the Orders due Now phase. Can a moderator please look at the game and force pause if necessary.

PAUSE FAIL
Everyone in this game (posted later) has voted pause, and no one got a message of the pause. instead, the game immediately unpaused, which is what everyone is notified about.

How to simply quit/resign
I was in a game that was paused many months ago, and will never get unpaused. I'd like to simple quit/resign, and not have it permanently listed in my games. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Pause problem/bug
All remaining players in board.php?gameID=12064 have voted for a pause, but the game shows no sign of actually being paused. Please could an admin take a look, as one player will be away over the weekend.

Many thanks!

I asked them to send the sign-ups to a specific email address.
1 sent the sign-up to the mod account, 5 sent it to my personal email address, 2 PMed me, 1 tried to sign up via Instant Messenger, 1 signed up in the actual thread. Several more emailed the right address with the wrong information, including some who neglected either webdip username or userID

Let's see, I forgot to send my crucial details (although I know Ghost has them) AND I sent him a PM before I sent the email. I'm guilty on 2 counts.

Hahaha, I sent them to his personal email first. I didn't include my user id, but we are in a game together, so I didn't think much of it. (Its 6265).
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

Yeah, but it does mean that I then have to go hunting... grrrr
It was me. I confess. I sent a PM to TGM. The reason? Because by the time I decided to join there were almost 150 responses to the original post and I didn't want to read them all. And yes, the instructions were in the original message, but apparently I'm just a dumbass.
Draugnar (0 DX)
20 Aug 09 UTC
I second Dingle's motion. He is a dumbass. But then my excuse is the exact same one. Too many messages and I didn't notice it in the original post. So I'm a dumbass too.
In light of the above post, I'd like to point out that Draugnar is a self-confessed compulsive liar, I think I may have to reconsider my point. I am apparently NOT a dumbass.

Just wanted to say that I followed the instructions and didn't find them difficult to follow... :P
Well, lets look at the request, sentence by sentence, to see if we can perhaps find some reason for the problems.

"Please Email [email protected] to sign up, including a profile link in your email."

The 2nd half of that sentence is an incredibly large dangling participle, and poor grammar to boot. Email in the first half of the sentence should certainly not be capitalized. In addition, 'to sign up'... For what? What are we signing up for? Perhaps there are context clues elsewhere, but in the strict confines of the 'instructions', if that's what you want to call them, there is nothing noting what we are signing up for.


"To ask Questions, post a reply to this thread."

Questions should not be capitalized. 'To ask Questions' is certainly open-ended. Questions about quantum physics? About mythical creatures? What?



I'm surprised anyone was able to follow your convoluted ramblings to give you any sort of intelligible response.

Enough signed up that I could kick you out :P
But enough didn't sign up that you should get a complex and question your very existence.

Is questioning one's existence a pair-o'-ducks? If you don't exist, how can you question whether or not you exist?
Centurian (3257 D)
20 Aug 09 UTC
Ghost, lets not get sensitive over it. You should realise by now these hiccups are common place in organising tournaments. Just because you happen to be the one organising these things doesn't mean you should exercise that authority for personal reasons.

That being said, you work hard obviously and are indispensible (if only for the ghost ratings) and as such everyone should try hard to make your life easier.

I hope and expect that DJ understands that I am jesting.
I do TGM, as I hope you understand I am too. There's always one Centurian in every crowd to ruin the fun .
Centurian (3257 D)
20 Aug 09 UTC
Sorry if I immediately assumed on this forum that it was another pointless fight. For instance, I can't tell if Draugnar for some reason hates you, or if he is as well jesting.

When I first read this I though Ghost was being whiney, but upon looking it over again I see thats not true. So lets not label me a kill-joy just yet.
Centurian (3257 D)
20 Aug 09 UTC
Wait, nevermind, can I just blame this on my "medication" or something?
Draugnar is not 'well jesting'. He is very poorly jesting. A result of his mediation.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
21 Aug 09 UTC
DJ, regarding Dragnar's post, sometimes known compulsive liars may tell the truth just so that you don't believe them. So it could still be that you are a dumbass after all. Just saying...
Damn, can't argue that logic Alderian. Well, i could, but I'm too dumb apparently.

Opinions: Is this metagaming?
Its always a contested topic, discussed at great length with essays written on the topic. But such essays given to the time that they were written were mostly addressing the topic of Metagaming as it was known in FtF games.

that the difference in color between England and Turkey is becoming less and less apparent.

I'm pretty sure I'm not color blind because I never use to have this problem, but now it seems harder to distinguish.
