Minor bug in Interactive Map
There is a bug with the Interactive Map Interface, that makes it difficult to enter a convoy order to a neighboring territory. I will try to fix it as soon as possible, but it might take some time, since I'm currently busy. If you use the Interactive Map Interface, please, double-check your convoy orders to neighboring provinces until the bug is fixed.

How is NoCD Calculated?
I've played 56 games, but it says I've gone into CD 7/10 times.

This is really killing my reliability rating, so I've no idea how to fix it.

1v1 - FER v. GAT
I have played most of the 1 v. 1 maps. Some are great and others are terribly lopsided. I was surprised when I realized that a variant with France, England and Russia on one team and Germany, Austria and Turkey did not exist. I was wondering if people thought that would be a good even map and what they thought should be done with Italy. Leave it empty? Fill it with neutral armies?

I thought if you CD'd out of a game you could get back in again if someone else didn't?
I thought that was how it was. I have a game I ended up getting CD'd out of since it was the first year and missed 1 phase. My net was out otherwise I would have got the move in.

But either way I'm confused.

Jingo Grey Press
Hi everyone

Looking for players interested in a mischievous and enjoyable game... read on.

Been reading "Sleepwalkers", a great book about the lead up to WW1.

The current chapter I'm reading is about the "jingoism" of newspapers within each of the great powers spurring on patriotism and antagonising foreign powers though the leaking of info from each countries foreign offices and misinformation campaigns to their own and foreign powers' newspapers.

It got me thinking about a Grey Press game where players as part of the gameplay are expected to only communicate by taking on the voice of any paper in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, St Petersburg and Istanbul.

As it's grey press you could publish under your own countries' name or any other players countries' name. I'm hoping this should create a fun, mischievous game.

I'd propose we play for only a small stake, say 10 or 20 D and PPSC.

Open to whether we play on Classic board or Classic Fog.

Any interest?
Interesting concept but I have to pass. I will follow it if you get it started though.
Thanks YCHTT.

If others can let me know if you're interested or I won't worry about setting it up.
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
03 Oct 15 UTC
I am interested! Great book btw, you should also read Iron Kingdom
Thanks GOD - 2 down, 5 more to go!
Tell you what, Fog and unrated (0 D) and I'll join. I just suck at Public Press so I don't want to risk rating.
Sounds fine YCHTT. There's always going to be a competitive element, but that should be part of the narrative thread of the jingoistic press.

GOD - you cool with God and unrated? If so, we're almost half way there!
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
04 Oct 15 UTC
Uh no, sorry...I would only play rated, sorry YCHTT :/
I'd be willing to play either rated or unrated. It sounds fun.
Interesting... The Ambassador has to choose between GOD and TheTruth.
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
04 Oct 15 UTC
Uh no just between rated or unrated! I can fully understand if people would rather play this unrated
I'll play full press rated any day, but not Public press and definitely not Public Grey Press.
What ever gets us the numbers needed for a game I'll go with. Pragmatism always wins.
Caerus (1470 D)
04 Oct 15 UTC
I have always been interested in a public press game, and this sounds fascinating. I would love to play if you'd have me.
Caerus - love to have you on board.
So far: Amby, Chevalier Mal Fet, Caerus and either YCHTT or GOD.

Just 3 more players needed.

GOD (1791 D Mod (B))

hey hey, I am reliable in times of great Need and peril for my beloved ones! that should also be taken into account...i am working on my reliablity here though, it will improve (playing just one game at a time should help)!
Caerus (1470 D)

Why do you only play Rated?
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
05 Oct 15 UTC
Because (when I don't NMR) I play quite okay, and now after the dip points have been more or less abandoned, the vdip points are more or less the only reward or punishment I'll get gor a game, which is all the more important now that I play less games...for me at least
bozo (2302 D)

I think this would work well as a public press grey press only game, but my experience with the classic - grey press variant is that normal messages are allowed as well, making the grey press messages irrelevant. Do you plan on only allowing grey press, and is there a mechanism for this other that self enforcement?
Hi bozo - I didn't know grey press did both. If that's the case I guess just normal Fog, but set the conditions for public press only. That work for everyone?

Bozo - you interested or just showing us your prowess for what each variant can/can't do :-D
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
06 Oct 15 UTC
Uh what? Now we play For public press? Doesn't that destroy the idea of the variant? Because everyone can see who wrote which messages in that variant.
Ok, let's take a step back and assume I'm a stupid guy who MAY have misunderstood exactly what grey press is (not too hard).

From reading the variant description again of Classic grey press, this wasn't actually what I wanted to achieve. I was really looking for a public press only game on something like fog with some light hearted fun being achieved with the newspaper shenanigans. If I have created any confusion I understand why, and it wasn't my intent.

Let me know here if that changes your perspective on participating.
GOD - actually what you're saying makes more sense. I don't want people knowing who's posted what.

So maybe we stick with grey press but have to ditch the fog element.

Slap me around some more please if I've fucked up more.
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
06 Oct 15 UTC
So we play grey press with the gentleman's agreement to post only in global and grey. That's how I understood it from the beginning :D
bozo (2302 D)
06 Oct 15 UTC
I am interested depending on what is decided. The grey press game can be set up as a public press game, so the only agreement that would be necessary is to only use grey press messages. I think the grey press variant would be better if only grey press was allowed.
Caerus (1470 D)
06 Oct 15 UTC
I saw it the way GOD sees it. (That was a fun sentence to write)
I'm still in provided it is unrated. If you better wanted to simulate reality, keep it full press but insist everyone post only grey in global and a news agency message after each movement phase. I'd play rated with full press.

Diplomacy Notifications
Hey, everybody! I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know a way of getting notifications when you receive a message or a phase processes? Perhaps there is a way to create custom Chrome notifications or something, I don't know. Again, this is probably a long shot but if anyone has an answer, that would be great!
