lol to #1. Point well taken. thx for answers, faaabulous site from a long time player, first time webber.

Do you convoy over land where you come from?

Just to add a bit to #3, a draw is the same in both PPSC and WTA. Pot is split evenly between the remaining players. Players that are eliminated or are in civil disorder get nothing. If you try to draw while a player is in civil disorder, be careful to make sure they are still in civil disorder before the last player votes for the draw.

1. This website has come a long way. There are a list of things to be done and what you are proposing has been discussed many times but hasn't made it to the top of the priority list.

I thought that if you draw in a WTA game, nobody gets anything because there is no winner to take all of the points.

If I am wrong please show me a game that has a WTA drawn.

"Draws can be voted for at any time; if all the players still surviving vote for a draw the points in the game will be split up equally and a share given to each player still surviving. (In a draw a surviving player with 15 supply-centers will get the same number of points as a surviving player with only one!) "

Even if it is WTA, if the game is drawn all participants receive an equal share of the pot.

Here is one such game: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?

Although I don't think that shows anything, but all players that were part of the draw split the pot evenly

what spyman said ^^

Think of it the other way, if 4 of you are in a draw then none of you have lost => you've all won.

re Auto-disbands: Yes it would be nice to add them, but no-ones quite got round to doing it!

none of you have lost => you've all won.
Only if there is a dichotomy between lost and won but in dip there is a clear trichotomy lost/drawn/won. Think of it like the trichotomy <,=,> on real numbers if that helps.

True. I guess mine was more an explanation than an actual logical proof :P
Good way of thinking of it though . Clearly my argument was based on !lost = won, which is more a question of the axioms used. If you reduce the situation to a dichotomy, then a draw may be classified as a win or a loss, the point of the OP being that it was a loss, mine that it is a win.
