A WTA Challenge (Beginning May 1st)
Alright You liverwort loving cockatrices, I'm looking for a challenge. A WTA classic game for those brave enough to face this rugged seasoned professional.

So how about it, are ya lily livers up to it?
Only the best and brightest need apply. So if you think you have the balls for it, sit down and we'll wrangle out the timeframe and conditions.

Diplomacy Etiquette
If someone makes a game and states in the title that it's "for noobs" why are people with 400 and 500 D, who have played that variant multiple times joining? Not going to name any names, but it happened recently and I don't understand it. Do these people just say "Well, this look like an easy way for me to get more points." Is there anything that can be done to stop it from happening? Maybe if there was a script that can tell if you've played that variant more than once in the past?

Feature clarification request: Special NMR-CD-phase-extend
“This special rule sends a country into civil disorder (CD) if it does not enter an order (NMR) and extend the phase so a replacement can be found. This works on all phases of a turn (diplomacy, retreat, build). Be careful, this might lead to locked games, if players leave and no replacement is found.”

Question about reliability rating
Are some games excluded? I finished a 1v1 game and there were 23 phase changes, but right now the only phases I'm getting "credit" for are in my standard game.

Also, how many phases before I'm no longer a rookie?

Ripping off Butterhead's Idea
So Butterhead decided to launch an anniversary game to mark 3 years as a Diplo-dican. I realized that my second anniversary was on March 17, so I've decided to do the same. It's classic WTA, but with a 66% win condition (23SCs), 36 hr turns but early finalizing is encouraged, especially for retreats and build/destroy phases, and 90%+RR and at least 100 phases under your belt to play.

Fast WWIV game,
I would like to play a rather fast WWIV game, preferably with a 12-hour Phase but it could be more, like 16 hours for example, if players prefer.
Who would please be interested in playing such a game ?

Question about HoF
Early this evening I played a game of Dutch Revolt with a few others and we drew before anyone was eliminated. My HoF rating went up 2, but if you click the gameID on my HoF page, it says no ones rating changed. Is there something wrong with the page, or should my rating have not changed? (I'm now #16 for reference)

Yea j read that. But if they're so confident in their tools why not let me back since there's no point to cheating and I've said that. Besides, wanna talk to my old friends there on the forum cuz I'm getting married another from now. I just live a damn lonely life..... *sigh* I miss the forum, I could live without games since I can play games on here anyways. I like nigeebaby's thought. And now that I've had a solid job I don't mind smackin down 50 bucks to Kestas to just be a forum participant.
yaaks (1157 D)

well yeah, if they agree on letting him come back for games, you could make a case just to be allowed back for the forum. Then again i have no ideas what the mods reasoning is and i wasnt really paying attention to your whole banning thing as i was relatively new while it happened.

Thanks for the mention @brian hickey.... Whoever you are lol. While your points do carry weight it's one thing to play the game, but other sites a. Suck and b. don't have nearly the quality of play
It's me :)

I do understand your point, as my experience on playdiplomacy was abysmal. I also think that the standards that webDip tries to adhere to are a major contributing factor to its overall quality. Ultimately, I'm glad that I don't have to make decisions like the one being discussed. It seems highly likely that if cases are considered for reinstatement there will be some inherent arbitrariness and unfairness to some that get denied. In your case, I certainly don't know enough to have an opinion, though it's clear that you are persistent and have been consistently trying to earn another chance, and you have some support from webDip members who continue to plead your case.

I was joking, obviously, about my multi-accounts, but 3-2 is an accurate read on my view of the situation. I think there are fair points on both sides of the issue. I'm glad that the community and admin care enough about the quality of the site and the wishes of membership to hold such discussions, rather than be completely rigid. Whatever the outcome, it won't change my enjoyment of the site and if Agent K - or yourself - is reinstated, it's a blank slate as far as I'm concerned. I will let my own direct experience inform my opinions from there.

"No, making a new account account after being banned without permission would automatically disqualify someone from this type of reinstatement, ruling sandgoose out about 12 times over"

I'm fairly certain Jmo's post says you're not going to be allowed back...
SandgooseXXI (1294 D)

Thanks cap! But jmo and I have a love hate relationship.... More hate than love since...well, he's got his one close minded narrow opinion to all the accounts made, last 4 being created one at a time to get back onto webdip with a clean slate, notice how I didn't make multiples to play in games together etc

From my understanding of the whole mess you were caught cheating and allowed back, then caught cheating again and allowed back, and then caught cheating again... The impression you give is of a chap who enjoys the challenge of getting one past the mods somewhat more than the game itself, which is a tad off putting.

Whilst it seems clear enough that you can play a clean and good game when you want to, and I dare say do it here on a permanent basis, I'm not convinced you'd be able to resist trying to outsmart the WebDip system if you got back in.

Besides, there's nothing to stop you chatting to Nigeebaby outside of the game. Google him... he is all over the bloody place. I'm sure the other people you get on well with are easy enough to get in touch with.

You octomom, I didn't cheat with sand goose T____T but I was banned because of games I was in with my brother... Which... Well sucks since he even said to the mods about it all
Octavious (0 D)
06 Apr 13 UTC
So the Webdip mods looked at your history of games with your brother, and concluded that you were working with him in an unfair way, and dished out some kind of warning? After which the blatently obvious thing to do would be to either avoid playing with your brother like the plague or to make it perfectly clear to everyone else in a game you happen to start with your brother that he happens to be playing it too?

It's not the original incident that confuses me. I could easily understand someone either working with a brother or friend and not realising it was a shitty thing to do. I could understand someone being in a game with a friend and just not knowing it. But it's the getting caught and warned off, and then doing it again and getting caught... and then doing it again... The hell was that all about?
Sandgoose - if you look at the steps I outlined, there are several reasons why you won't be let back. For one, you've tried to sneak back on, which is unacceptable. But more importantly, read Agent K's response and compare it to what you sent us. Agent K placed the blame squarely upon himself and repented. Even with him doing all the right things, he doesn't have all the mods convinced. Its either 3-2 or 4-1 right now. Your score is 1-4 I believe. And after that you'd have to do a trial by the community as well.

No matter what, SG, it's not gonna happen in 2013 for you.
^^Even now you won't admit what you did was wrong, so there's no hope really.

Oh webdip is down so they are coming over here to stir things up again. 2WL did this last week.

SG has been a really good member of vdip so there's no need to resurrect this thread just to piss on him.
JMO resurrected it. I just asked (rather rudely as that *was* called for in JMO's case) that it stay over there.

I was really made about the timing of the site going down. I had spent 2 hours making a really long post, hit send and it told me the site was down.

Now I'm going to have to retype the bloody thing. Hopefully it wont take as long a second time.

Feature suggestion
I wonder what folks think about, or if it's even possible, to put in a private group chat option? In short, it would let you send an identical message to a group of nations that you'd like to keep secret from the others for the purposes of coordinating group assaults. I think it'd be especially useful for a cabal of smaller, shrinking powers to coordinate moves against a globally powerful threat.

What do you all think?
