Bug?
Look at gameID=111572 , specifically at France's fleet in Piedmont... why is Piedmont not blue, given that it is not an SC?

Nice things thread
It's a gorgeous late-winter Friday in Maine. There's not a cloud in the blue, blue sky, and it may get all the way up to the high 40s today. I'm in an uncharacteristically good mood, so I decided to start this thread inviting you webdippers to be happy about something.

Inflation
Why do government "inflation" figures always discount FOOD and ENERGY prices....which are the *bulk* of people's regular spending...?

Anyone know why this formula is used?

Liberal of the day awards
To help Sbyvl36 on his noble quest of muting liberals, we will utilize this thread in determining who is the most liberal person of the day, and why he is liberal. Post possible nominations below and reasons as to why they are the liberal of the day. Together we should be able to make a decision and make Sbyvl36s life easier.

A mute a day keeps the Liberals away.
I have now started a tradition of muting one liberal everyday. I mute these people based on the radical statements that they make in the forum. As I don't want to hear it anymore, I am taking advantage of a very pleasant tool.

Real Science! The Higgs Boson confirmed
Since we are talking science today, I've noticed that no one has jumped on the announcement that the Higgs Boson was confirmed today. Although it has been suspected for decades, actually finding the particle that possibly gives everything its mass is a huge announcement.

I'm Taking Back This Goddamn Forum!
I USED to be the Liberal antagonist troll 'round these parts. Now Sbyvl69 thinks he can just come through and stick his ass in the burner? Hell no, Subivyl, I defy you and your poorly placed beliefs. AND I WON'T REST UNTIL YOU'RE DEAD! (Also, anyone who 'keeps' krellin, but mutes Draug is just about the dumbest dumbass in the world.)

Last seen online?
I just saw somebody in a game online with a blue icon, but it didn't change the flag 'last seen online'. Question: how do these functions work? Is the blue icon reliable? Does the flag switch when a game is opened or literally when somebody is online?
Alderian (2425 D(S))
10 Mar 13 UTC
Last seen online relates to when that user last opened that game's page. I'm pretty sure. The blue icon indicates if they have recently been on the website in general.
Blue icon? It looks green to me.
JECE (1248 D)

Yeah, green with a blue border.
Draugnar (0 DX)
11 Mar 13 UTC
And be careful with both. Rmember, somebody may be usign their phone, open the browser which was recently on that page (or was left on that page) and trigger the icon and the "last seen" updates when they weren't really there. It is an unreliable set of indicators in these modern ubiquitous smartphone and tablet times.
Ok, thanks.
How about NMRing? Does a CD trigger only when somebody has been offline for extended time, or also if somebody HAS been online, but has not filled in order. I'm asking since in a recent game somebody had been online (as per blue/green icon), had not filled in orders, NMRd twice, but was not put in CD. This surprised me.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
14 Mar 13 UTC
CD only happens when you don't view the game at all for two turns. If you're online but NMR, that doesn't make you CD.
Ok, clear, thanks.
As an aside, people ask so many of these basic questions on the functioning of the site. I'd really expect the FAQ to address some of these issues. Time for an update?
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Mar 13 UTC
Technically, NMR only happens if you don't look at the game page at all during that turn. It will be recorded as "missed last phase". But you can look at the page and leave it as all holds and not NMR. It takes two official NMRs on consecutive turns that you had orders to submit (retreats or builds where you had no orders due are ignored and don't reset the counter) to CD.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
14 Mar 13 UTC
Note, it only takes one NMR to go into civil disorder if you only have one center.

But as Draugnar said, there is a difference between not loading the page during a phase (NMR) and loading it but not changing any orders from hold to something else (not NMR).
Jamiet99uk (873 D)

@ Alderian: "Note, it only takes one NMR to go into civil disorder if you only have one center."

This is news to me. Can anyone confirm this?
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Mar 13 UTC
Kestas did a while back. He changed the code so that games wouldn't have to be drawn out by a player with one SC going absent.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
14 Mar 13 UTC
Oh, right. So if you have only one SC left, and you NMR, you go into CD immediately?
Draugnar (0 DX)
14 Mar 13 UTC
Yes. That is the idea. The thought was that if you lose your one and only SC in the spring, just going away and not coming back won't slow down the game more than one phase.
Alderian (2425 D(S))
14 Mar 13 UTC
Someone posted about it awhile back asking why the country was in CD after only one missed moved. Kestas responded with that information and I stored it away for future knowledge sharing.

Do Americans save money?
It may just be stupid television, but it seems like most Americans either spend their money as soon as they get it or save it to buy something more expensive as soon as they've got enough. Is this true for most Americans or is that just television? I don't know about other countries but here in the Netherlands most people (adults at least) have quite some money stashed on a bank account for worse days...

Default disband orders?
Hey all, I just joined a game as CD replacement, and Russia CDd as well during a disband phase. Since he does not fill in a disband order, the adjudicator forces him to disband.
My question: how is this disband determined?

locked games
I don't understand it: I see so many locked games that people join but I never see them advertised in the forum. How do people who create the game expect to get the password to potential players? And, if I want to participate in a locked game, would it be odd to pm one of the players who already joined and just ask for the password?
