Indy's Clever Pet Tricks To Win Games List (Please Contribute)
1. Find the players that CD most frequently, set up a game, and invite them! In a game chosen at random (truly), these were the percentages I found for the 7 players: 17%, 20%, 10%, 2%, 43%, 0%, and 29%. Truly! Just imagine if you could find 6 players with 50% rates!

Summer Gunboat Tournament: Interest Thread
I've been talking to trip about organising a summer season of his gunboat tournament. Before I get serious about it, I want to gain some feedback from participants of the just-finished tournament and also make sure there is enough interest to field it at all.

Live games Vs. Non-live games
Live games are 10times better. You have to be so much more on your toes.

You can't really do Diplomacy properly though, and isn't that the point of the game?

The point of the game is to see who is the most tactical person. Isn't the best person aboento do it without having 24 hours to think of what they need to do

That is where youvare mistaken
The point of the game is to manipulate others so they'll do what you want them to do. If it we're about tactics, it would called tactics and strategy, not diplomacy.

Well stated. If you want a game of tactics, play gunboat. If you want to play Diplomacy, play non-live games.

I tend to find people talk more in live games. Trying to engage in any meaningful diplomacy with someone in a different time zone in a 24 hour game can be damn near impossible.

Truly a child of the texting age
Octavious is right. That plus actually being really busy -> I'm starting to do 36-48 hour games more.

(But not 72 hours. Ironically, the only time I did one of those had a LOT of CDs [3 or 4!]... and waiting a week for someone to quit with one resolution is just mind-numbing.)

I like live games, but with 4 young children finding 3-5 hours where I know there will be minimal interruptions is really hard. I wish there was an option for 36 hour diplomacy phases and 18 hour build and retreat phases. That would be ideal in my view. (I tend to check in at least twice a day, morning and evening)

I, too, wish we could have different phases for different move types.
Octavious (2701 D)
24 Apr 11 UTC
If I could have one wish it would be for the option of a live game in which anyone who does nothing for 5 minutes has all of his orders automatically set to hold and readied. This would allow the holy grail of a ten minute live game without the nightmare of waiting as a CD'd player imposes the long dark retreat and build phase of the soul...

Still, such things no doubt take a fair bit of fiddling to make work :(

Convoy Error message
I receive the following message when trying to convoy an army from Armenia to Sev. Parameter 'viaConvoy' set to invalid value 'Yes'.
Is this a common error? The move is surely legal.
This is an anonymous game, so I am reluctant to post the game ID.

Suggestion- buying points
This seems like a good idea to me. I've only 2 D left, but if we could buy points(to a set limit), this has a 2 pronged benefit.
It allows me to play more games(or higher pot games) and gives money to those developing the site.
Thoughts?
