New Full Press/WTA Game
I'd like to get a new classic/full press/WTA game going. Game turns would be 36 hours and I'd want the bet size to be somewhere around 30-110, but am flexible. Anyone interested?

Whose Line Is It Anyway? Public press Diplomacy game
So I recently just had inspiration for a public press Diplomacy game based on the amazing show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and thought it would be worth trying.

how about a really restrictive ratings system?
everyone knows it's all about the live winner-take-all gunboat games on the standard map. how do ghost ratings work? is there some way of pulling stats out of the database for this analysis? i want LWTAGBCV ratings!

Too bad there isn't a "Fuck You" button.
There are gunboats wherein it would be handy, for example when a mad dog attacks everyone around him yet votes draw.

Post all your suggestions for a better webdip site here.

1. Notepad: I'd like to take notes on my games and have them available inside the game somewhere.
2. Multiple-country messaging: being able to send a message to several countries at once when you're in a complex alliance and allow these countries to respond within such a message string. Avoids a lot of confusion.
3. Anonymous in-game messaging. The ability to send "anonymous messages" to countries without them knowing which country it's from.

4. In the bar that says Home / Forum / Games etc. add a bar that says "Additional features" which lists:
A) The website MKECharlie just mentioned
B) The GhostRatings URL
C) The webdip map URL
redhouse1938 (429 D)
24 Feb 12 UTC
By the way I'd never heard of it, which is kind of bizarre. Is this website well-known amongst the webdip community?
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
24 Feb 12 UTC
The site I mentioned is linked to from the help page, and it specifically mentions feature requests.

However, this thread may have merit, because you can take notes on your games (#1, above) by sending yourself a message in-game. Just change the msgCountryID querystring value in the URL to your country, after clicking the a different power's chat box.
1 - England
2 - France
3 - Italy
4 - Germany
5 - Austria-Hungary
6 - Russia
7 - Turkey

Hmmm I was number 7 myself as russia and not 6, but it did work. Great!!!
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
24 Feb 12 UTC
For example, in ongoing gameID=77257 I'm Italy. If I want to send a message to myself, I click on Global chat, and notice this URL in my browser:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=77257&msgCountryID=0&rand=35936#chatboxanchor

I change the msgCountryID=0 part to read msgCountryID=3 and submit. Voilà!
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
24 Feb 12 UTC
Cool, yeah, I guessed at what all the other powers would be, depending on what they were when I tried to send them messages, but glad you figured it out.
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
24 Feb 12 UTC
And I transposed those two. My bad. Russia is 7, Turkey is 6.
redhouse1938 (429 D)

Oops, I feel like an idiot not knowing this stuff.

My apologies to the webdip programmers for not knowing this... How noob of me.

So MKECharlie, what did you think about my suggestions 2 and 3
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
24 Feb 12 UTC
I think they're great suggestions. Multiple-player chat brings the game closer to what's possible with F2F, and anonymous messages brings it closer to the legacy of postal Diplomacy.
#2 has been suggested (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3153765&group_id=125692&atid=703323), but I didn't see anything for anonymous messages up there.
Dharmaton (2398 D)

1. Notepad: Yup.
2. Multiple-country messaging: Yes; Mimicks a 'closed group' in another room...
3. Anonymous in-game messaging. : NO. (Where would it come from during a real table game?)

A) The website MKECharlie just mentioned: Maybe, sidebar under player_name ?
B) The GhostRatings URL: Maybe, added to player_name ( x D )
C) The webdip map URL :Maybe, the blue gameID=abcde ....
-_________________________________ " name "
1.) Add an option to choose starting powers. Choice / Random.
2.) A link to current live games being played. Arena. (gamelistings)
3.) A stats page, Hall of Fame (list of all Players also), search player (the Find a user moved here), show common games,msgs, comparison of you & a player via the # Defeated: %, Won:13%, Drawn: %, Survived%, Resigned%:... A count probability of who would win in a given game according to Rank (* units in a game ratio).
4.) Enlarge the map a litte, and 'squish' the top of a 'Board' page; Concatenate top info of 3 lines into 2, and the 2 lines of what country a player is playing into 1. Put Save / Ready on left & same line as Votes, on the right
5.) In gamelistings page: put the bet quant. & Join button Before the Name of game , Id# of game - save a live, so more pages displayed per page. + Just under map image 'place higher up' the line: Archive: Orders - Maps - Messages links.... + List of country / Player on bottom have into 1 line, more columns.; less <BR>'s ;)
5b.) Most pages, like the player's profile box, also touched up...
6.) A player search search, and a message box -> a new page that keeps track of PtP out-of-game Msgs; ... these added (as a box?) to the *Home* / index page, above the Notices. ... oh, settings button off from menu, but in 'home'; thus *Help* button changed to new name:*Info*... New Games button put in the Games page.
7.) When moves are placed-in drop-downs, draw green arrows showing moves on Map.

Gunboat is more true to board Diplomacy than press
In the Diplomacy rulebook, it is explicitly stated that no diplomacy or discussion may take place during what we call "retreats" and "builds" phases. Let's see what it means for legitimacy of press games.
