Halt's Other Challenge - Classic Layered
See below:
Halt (2077 D)
18 Sep 13 UTC
Classic Layered, 7 players, 7 games, playing once as each country.
Pot size will be small, but the points a player contributes to all games combined cannot exceed 35, but can be lower. The highest bet possible for one game would be (35-6) 29.

Countries will be pre-announced.
Game types are WTA.
Phase Length will be 1 and 1/2 days.
Games will start in 3 sets of 2s, and the fourth set will be the final game.

Now, here's the twist.
Pot size is determined by majority vote of those playing. The winner of the SRGs will be the person who gets the most points. So, for example, one player wins 5 games, but it was decided that each of those games would only be 2 D, while another player wins 2 games of 6 D each. In this case, the player winning 2 games has 12 D, so he wins.

Interval between each game set negotiable.

Who's with me?

I believe I'd be interested. In the case of draws, what happens? Each person in the draw gets however many points the draw awarded them?
Halt (2077 D)
19 Sep 13 UTC
^ Yup! Exactly.

I'm thinking another way to implement Pot size would be to average the vote of all players. What would be preferred?

jeremyk2142 (1541 D)
19 Sep 13 UTC
I think taking the average would be a much smoother method of determining the size.

My only thought is that the last few games may have a bit of trouble pot size-wise if you're stuck saying "we have 7 remaining points to spend on the last 3 games, total..."
I think saying something like "vote for the pot value, everyone vote between 5-15" and THEN averaging gives each game more freedom. Otherwise the last few games could be too dependent on the previous ones.
Halt (2077 D)
19 Sep 13 UTC
That is why I put the maximum point rule vote. The maximum points for any one game is x - y, where x is points remaining, and y is number of games remaining. Therefore, all games would at least have 1 point buy in no matter how much points we use in any one game.

Lab Diplomacy
I cannot get onto labdip on my computer, it just says "Error triggered: require_once(variants/Carthage/variant.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory.

This was probably caused by a software bug. The details of this error have been successfully logged and will be attended to by a developer."
Has anyone else had this problem? (I am using google chrome, on IE it always says I'm using an invalid cookie).

Diplomatic Strategy
I am somewhat new to this site (although I have been playing Diplomacy for several years now) and I noticed diplomatic relations were conducted a bit differently then what I am accustomed to.
So I guess I'm wondering how you conduct yours. What you except from your neighbors within the first turn, what you expect of your allies, how and why you conduct stabs, and the like.

Is There a Cheating Report Thread
I'm playing a 3 player game with winner take all where the guy in second is cooperating with the guy in first despite how the guy in first is on the verge of victory and I'm nearly eliminated.

It's highly suspicious and looks like cheating. Can I report this anywhere?

Background color problem
I am using Chrome, and have been for a long time, but recently, I have had a problem with the background graphics. The background initially displays the normal brown with shading of the diplomacy map, then after a second or two, it disappears, and turns white with no map.

Any suggestions?

Hey guys, super noob question, but I wanted to know if I had to keep a unit inside a neutral territory that has been converted into my own in order for that territory to remain mine in the Known World Variant, or can I leave it unoccupied?
