Get my points off Facebook
Hey all, I've been playing FB Dip for some time (oldschool phpDiplomacy), but have lost interest. Since I'm starting from scratch again here, I was wondering whether it's possible to transfer my thousand odd points from FB Dip to here? It's not the same community, but it is the same platform. Possible or no?

What has Curiosity found on Mars? - A poll (definitely not a +1 scam)
It's common knowledge that this forum is home to some of the most intelligent lifeforms in the Milky Way. To harness this incredible brainpower for the good of mankind, we should use the power of crowdsourcing to predict groundbreaking events in advance, so as to buy people time to prepare for them. By utilizing the best social networking invention ever, the +1, we can accurately conclude which opinion prevails in the webDip community.

The Importance of Being Diplomatic
With all the chest-pounding that goes on around here about who's a better player than who, it seems clear that some people place far too much emphasis on what goes on on this site, to the point of tying their performance to their overall feelings of self-worth.

New Gunboat
So, as was mentioned in the Last Person to Post thread, my husband and I are looking to play a gunboat game together. Obviously there'd be no meta-gaming, but wanted you guys to be aware. So who's up... it would be relatively low stakes, WTA and no quicker then 24 hour phase.. can be longer phases if needed.

So any takers..

Didn't get a third build.
In the game http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=104456, I am South Africa. I should have gotten three builds this spring. I had it set up to do a Fleet in San (antarctica), a fleet in South Africa, and a army in Namibia. The two fleets were built correctly, but the army was not built. I had the options for all three and I am positive I had it set up right, but only two were built. Please fix this.
achillies27 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
The order log says you only built two units, so you may have forgotten, or there may actually be a bug.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Screenshots. Always take screenshots. Espefially on builds in the two variant maps. Then you have proof the order was entered and saved.
dubmdell (556 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Well, evidence, since you could change the orders after the screen cap.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

What would be the point of submitting a fake bug report?

But, seriously, the World Variant is seriously fucked. I don't know why it's even still on this site.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Here is what I suspect happened, please tell me if I'm wrong:

You entered your build orders one after another, saving each time. The army was last and you either forgot to hit save, or the server did not receive your request. Is that possible?
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Not souch the fale bug repprt as Mich as his now getting to pick fleet or army for the requested correction knowing what everyoje else built. The bug reportay be real (although I did a three build SA in my current game) but bug or screwup on a save, giving him the pick of unit types gives him an unfair advantage. That's why I was encouraging a screenshot.

Not so much the fake bug report as much as... I hate android keyboards.
Mapu (362 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
If you set the same territory for two builds by accident (ie F SA, A SA) will it just pick one or will it reject the order? Perhaps that's what happened.
mf8705 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
No. It was not fake. Why would I want to build a fleet there? I selected all three, then hit save. Then I changed my Antarctica build and hit save again. The change in Antarctica build was reflected. If I was waiting for other builds, I wouldn't have chosen Namibia for the fake bug. I am positive I didn't have the same country selected. And no screenshots, I only joined the site a few weeks ago and was not aware of bugs. Is there anyway to fix this?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
If the same country is selected to build twice, I believe nothing will be built.

@mf

Interesting. What are you playing on? A computer? Do you play on more than one device (for instance, a computer and a phone)?
jmo1121109 (3812 D)

I have occasionally run into an issue where my browser will not save the last set of changes I make unless I click ready, did you ready your orders or just save them? You can ensure this doesn't happen by refreshing the screen after you enter your orders and check them again.
mf8705 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
I check the map on my phone but I gave all my build orders from my laptop last night and never checked it again on my phone.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Yeah, but jmo, he said the *last* order he entered did proc. The client sends every order to the server each time you hit save. There's no way that request could have been missed if orders changed after were received.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
So here, are the possible scenarios I can think of:

1) You never ordered NAM to build an army.
2) You remember incorrectly and actually ordered NAM last, which the server didn't receive.
3) You did everything correct, but somehow inadvertently changed your orders with and accidental page refresh.
4) There is a bug that leaves no paper trail.

Another question: Where was NAM on the list of orders? Top, Middle, or Bottom of the list?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Here is what I'm thinking:

If the server receives individual requests from the client, it would be possible to miss one without realizing it. Now, I would think the client tells the server how many orders to expect coming, but that may not be the case. If NAM was at the top or the bottom of the list, this would be ever more likely, as those are the easiest positions to send a partial message of.

mf8705 (100 D)

I believe it was at the top. I am sure I had everything set up correctly and I had checked it more than once. Is there anyway to resolve this?
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
@mf8705 - Sorry. I didn't mean to imply a fake bug report. I was just pointing out that yoi could now pick which one you wanted in correcting the error. I didn't even mean to imply you would intentionally choose different, as memory can be very deceiving.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Well, no, we will do nothing for this current game. The mods don't revert phases. However, if it is a real bug, it would be nice to resolve.

If it was at the top, I'm thinking you may have accidentally refreshed the page on your phone, resetting the top order?
mf8705 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Also if I had it set to not build one, would I have a build saved up now?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Yes, as long as you don't lose a center, you'll be able to build next year.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
I'd have to look at the code to see if it sends the orders as one AJAX request or a series of requests. If a series, any of them xould get lost. That's why I always click "board" after submitting.orders to double.check.what isblisted as my current set. But a new player wouldn't know to do that.
mf8705 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
That stinks. So I just l lose out on a build? I did not refresh it on my phone, after I set my orders I never touched my phone again until this morning when I woke up and the turn had already happened.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Well, I can forward this info along to Kestas and see what he says. But, your current game will not be affected. Sorry.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
For this turn only. You will get to build next game year instead. If you are new to diplomacy, you get to have the same number of units as SCs you own so you only get to.build.if you have more SCs than units. So basically you just have one fewer units for two movement phases.

And if you aren't new to Diplomacy, I just insulted your intelligence and apologize.
mf8705 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
No thanks for the help. I believe I will probably lose a SC in Antarctica this year so chances are I won't get the build.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Wellbthen you won't have to disband. :-)
This happens when you order a duplicate build. My money is on you accidentally selecting one of your other two build sites twice by mistake. I've done it before. :(
