But I mostly draw with my allies, hence my 49 draws. I'm almost at my big 50.

You all play many big games I mostly play 1v1 s so you all are far far better than me. I am noob..

This is the best stat.:
Defeated: 13 ( 5% )
Won: 166 ( 65% )
Drawn: 39 ( 15% )
Survived: 37 ( 14% )
Resigned: 2 ( 1% )
Left: 0 ( 0% )
Total (finished): 257
Playing: 0

Tell me who is he?
And,

I am at 149 finished games. lol
Hey now, I have a win draw ratio of 67% and no defeats here on OliDip... er... VDip. :-)

Great.
mine is too low 46 %

I'd say my win/draw of 91% is pretty good. Although I do need to work on finishing the game out.
Well, I have only completed three games here. One win (Norway on the crowded map for the win!), one draw (early Pirates game which had too many issues to deal with so we drew but I got lucky we did or it would probably be a defeat), one survive (took over a PPSC gunboat where I took a nearly dead position to 6 SCs and doubled my investment).
That "Concede-makes-you-take-a-Defeat" thing REALLY wiped out my awesome Defeats numbers. *sigh* I think I had 2 prior to implementation.

Congrats on #50, ~ Diplomat ~!
I don't like that conceed gives all the points to the winner even in PPSC. It shoudl be a survive, not a defeat, and in PPSC the winner should get one SC more than half and the rest get divided like a draw on the remainder or even with a proper PPSC distribution for the remaining points.

I'm going to repost the last two comments on the thread: "Concede button has huge influence on diplomacy!"

I think this should be discussed, but don't want to hijack Diplomat's thread. (Congratulations by the way)
I don't think my win rate of 55% is that bad, though it does include several 1 v 1s. I am quite proud of two of my wins, one of which is the first Holland solo on Colonial Diplomacy, and the other is where I took over a 3 unit Tansania and soloed (it was early in the game. Nothing like the Czech taking over a 1 SC England and soloing).

My defeats are in an gunboat game I am bitter about and a very clean win by Draug on Chaos. Survives are in a 1 v 1 where I was outclassed and a very good 1066 game with fasces and shep.

But hopefully in the next few weeks you'll see my W/D ratio climb up. I have some promising games in the pipeline
Congrats on #50 ~Diplomat~, it will be a long time before I join you at that mark haha
2-3 years and only 7 wins. I have at least 15 to 20 years before I catch you.

Gratz, Diplomat!

Nope, i just love to play 1v1s so there the winning is easier. So YouCan'tHandleTheTruth your wins are far much better than mine. i.e. You are better,your stats are better.

@Eden. Yes Youo concede too much in recent games..I think you conceded many times with gobledydook and santosh..

I like to think my record is pretty good :)
win/Draw- 80 (32, soon to be 33 wins, 48 draws)
Defeat/Survive- 43 (24 survives, 19 defeats)
out of a total 126 played
unfortunately I have a few that aren't going so well :( but I do have quit a few that are going well :)

Baah, I don't care about my win-draw stats or my defeat-survive stats... If I had fun, I don't care if I died. If I won the game but didn't enjoy it, then I don't consider it a win personally. that's how it has always been for me, thats how it always will be.
~ Diplomat ~ (1036 D X)
24 Apr 12 UTC
Yes, You are right but stats are real motivation for me atleast. It may be nothing to me but its something.. :D
butterhead (1272 D)

oh I don't deny stats are nice, especially with yours or PE's, but they aren't "important" to me.
cypeg (2619 D)
25 Apr 12 UTC
Stats are important, but Oli needs to remove 1v1 from them. Of course people who play 1v1 a lot won't like it but come on! 1v1 is purely fun not a game of diplomacy!
Shep315 (1435 D)
25 Apr 12 UTC
perhaps 1v1s should have their own stat?
Rancher (1207 D)
25 Apr 12 UTC
yeh, 1v1's should not be listed or included at all -- they should just be for fun/practice
2ndWhiteLine (1295 D)
25 Apr 12 UTC
People who don't want 1v1s included in stats are the same who suck at 1v1s :P
Decima Legio (1987 D)
25 Apr 12 UTC
I am with Rancher. Games stats "rate" your diplomatic skills. 1vs1 stats rate your... chess skills
Or the ones who don't *play* 1v1s. I agree 1v1s should be removed. What is the point of 1V1 anyhow? This is diplomacy. It's one thing to let your actions speak instead of your words (gunboat), but there isn't even that in the purely tactical and strategic variant of 1v1. You have no allies and you only have 1 enemy. Stupid variant if ever there was one. Not diplomacy at all.

Units switching places
In the most recent phase of this game: http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=7079
Units in Mayan Gold and Campeche switched places. Isn't one of the rules of diplomacy that should even hold with double-move units that two units never switch places? Is this a bug?

Uh, yeah...Some crazy stuff went down.
I don't think Austria would've lasted very long if Germany hadn't repeatedly CDed, Russia too focused on taking Germany, and France stabbing me.
But France probably would've gone for the win had Austria not knocked him back for me.

Looking for a solid variant and a new game to play on it...
Recommendations anyone? I looked at American Conflict but as I dug into it, the idea that you could get from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi through Illinois bother me. There is no way to do it in real life. And if you are going to have the Mississippi River, you should include the Ohio River - no less important in the grand scheme, although that is forgivable. I juts can't stomach the notion that the Great Lakes connect to the Mississippi.

Concede button has huge influence on diplomacy!
Example: 4 players are left, quite equally matched, and EoG is higher in comparison with normal, so a 2way draw is more likely then normal, 3 of them work together to kill the other one, 2 of them plan to stab the 3rd when the 4th is dead, however, the 4th votes concede, so no reason to not vote draw unless you plan to stab...
It could influence the outcome of the game big time, i doubt that was the idra... Questions? Opinions?

Summer League Game
Ok all, we had a few drop out of the first one and some that do not wish to play this Variant at all. So here is the new link to the Summer Game. It is a Known World variant. We might need a few more to sing up. So if you can bump up the Summer Game Post in the forum until we get this kicked off. Go ahead and drop the other two as I am about to do the same. Wolfman out.

Mods help please - Hussite Wars is buggy
I'm just recently playing a Hussite War game ( http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7262 ) and by now its the second time that a unit could retreat where it should not be able to. In spring 1427 a bavarian unit retreated from Passau to Landshut although they don't have a common border and now, in autuum 1427 a polish unit retreated from Oppeln right through my secured lines to Olmütz in the back of my front. They again have no common border.

Conceding
How does one concede? I see the button next to 'extend', 'draw', 'pause' etc, but clicking it didn't seem to do anything :S
Do I need to wait until that phase has finished, with me having left concede on? Also do I need to/should I ready up?
