I am currently playing in a live game where Germany (Me), Turkey and Austria suspect France and England of metagaming. I was allied with them till we noticed they had played in each others 10 last games and were doing very well considering the poor communication I had encountered as there ally http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=53456&msgCountryID=2&rand=37597

Email your suspicions to [email protected]

For future reference don't post accusations on the forum, the email is the proper place to send them.

£10 says that Draugnar finds this thread within 2 hours and spews expletives at cremdeladream. Anyone take the wager?

Sorry for doing it incorrectly I just wanted to get it noticed, apoligies.

Lando Calrissian (100 )

juanjo is the worst because he sues his illegitimate winnings to join 101 bet games in which he plays terribly.

Draugnar (0 )
14 Mar 11 UTC

They will pause it and research it but only if the accusation is sent through the proper channel.

Sargmacher (0 )
14 Mar 11 UTC

Don't worry cremdelacrem, it's been noticed by quite a few players here - I've had a lot of people warn me about them in private discussion and have shared my feelings on the matter. By all means, email the mods - you may have to wait indefinitely for a reply but hopefully something will be done.

@Lando - You know better. Stop posting about them now before someone gets nasty.

i can say: first we arent a multi..., we sometimes plays together because we like the game and in the real play i prefer to have an allie someone i can trust on. Sorry is that bother you, but the guys in the play started to insulting me and my country, and i can not accept that.

Lando Calrissian (100 )

@2299 - how do you feel about el_dlg?

@ cremdelacrem: "Sorry for doing it incorrectly I just wanted to get it noticed, apoligies."

Apology accepted. Don't do it again.

For future reference, there has been a slight backlog in the past week or so, but in general you are actually *more* likely to get a response from the moderators if you email them. The mods don't always check the forum.

Draugnar (0 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

If you play him knowing you will ally with him then you are metagaming and this admission will, at a minimum, get you warned and monitored.

Another example where having the rules of the site on signup might have avoided the issue.

trip (696 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

10 games together isn't too bad. Memillio played in 17 consecutive anon gunboats with jumbo, and the only time one would attack the other, they were able to walk into the centers (usually giving them the solo), because the player being attacked was off keeping the other powers from reaching the stalemate line.

Before anyone gets on me, this is just an observation, not an accusation. You're free to look for yourself as all profiles are public.

Lando Calrissian (100 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

I've played a lot of games with those two but never noticed that.

Draugnar (0 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

Trip, trip, trip... You can call it an observation if you like but it was prejudicial as all hell.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of ppsc style play in wta games.

Maniac (189 )

@draugnar - if we are playing by the rule of not making cheating accusations, are we allowed to make prejudical or sarcastic statements or the like?

yebellz (729 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

They were a 3-account multi/meta: juanjo, 2299, el_dlg
They have just been banned.

userID=22537, userID=33070, userID=33103

Here's a highlight reel of juanjo's "wins"
gameID=53395, gameID=53317, gameID=53001, gameID=52635, gameID=52618, gameID=52447, gameID=51638

That's just a subset of their offending games. Check out their histories for even more.

yebellz (729 )
15 Mar 11 UTC

By the way, they were noticed and reported at least several days before this forum thread went up. The mods had been looking into it, but it just takes a while. Forgive them for doing a thorough job and being a bit backlogged.

In the future, we have to just be a little patient, and refrain from posting cheating accusations on the forum, since once we start doing that things can get out of hand.

Jamiet99uk (873 )

Good work by the mods for banning this multi.

I put some work up through the email (done about 10 so far). They were banned because there was an email about it sitting there.
This thread did nothing but annoy me :P

Now, the average of three consecutive primes could be equal to the middle one. For example, 3, 5, and 7 average to 5.

I received a message this morning and thought that this might finish off this discussion at an appropriate point

''Dear Member,

You were correct in your accusation, and they have been banned.
I'd like to thank you for using the correct channels for this complaint, and hope your next game is not tarnished.

Yours,
Figlesquidge''

Thank you to the moderators for acting so promptly.

Technical Issues in World Diplomacy Game

In http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=47406 it appears that the convoy feature is broken. Of the 4 players left in the game, 3 of us encounter errors when we try to submit orders to convoy a unit and are unable to access the feature.

Is there a way to repair this without breaking the game?

There was other stuff happening too, but the relevant question is: why did GoB succeed in getting to Sweden if Norway was going there too?

Jumbo and Memilio BANNED

Thank you, finally! I had seen this coming ages ago and avoided his games. Trip and I had had a good private discussion about this one. He has just, presumably also been banned from a 200

game, he was clearly building up points with Memilio, his other account.

Cheater!

frankfitzer in gameID=105443 is quite obviously cheating!
I would like this game cancelled and frankfitzer banned along with all those who do not follow the rules of the game and the site forum!

It is terrible that someone would register at this site and not follow forum and game rules, they just ruin the experience for everyone!

The Prince

Quotations taken from gradesaver.com....

Our friend Niccolo M. says that there are two possible power bases for a prince: the nobility, and the common people. But he goes on to say the following: “In fact the aim of the common people is more honest than that of the nobles, since the nobles want to oppress others, while the people simply want not to be oppressed.”
