WWII Tournament
I would like to start a tournament. I've seen the Known World and 1v1 tournaments, and those are great fun. So why not apply it to World War II? I'm still working out the details, but I'll post some details.

Yeah, I can only play gunboats.
Maybe the group stage will be gunboat and the knockout rounds will be full press.

Also, it will be one game at a time. I'm hoping to set a specific day to start every game, (spectators) for example start the first game in every group on the same Monday.

I would be in. As long as it’s gunboat or only public press in group stages. (I’m just not that sociable!!)

Suggestion on rules. Don’t divide by vPoints Make it random. Looking at vPoints of respondents here I’m not sure it’s reflective of ability enough to use here. (AE how do you win 44% and have a lower rating than me?)

Usually, super-high win percentages come from playing 1v1.

I was up in the 1150-1250 range, but lost some massive rating points in the late winter and spring, as I didn't have much time for vDiplomacy. School gets annoying that way. Now, I have time. I came back with a 948, and didn't like that much. I'm up to 982, and still don't like it much.

@Finkey I do play quite a bit of 1v1, and I think my win percentage would be around 30% without including 1v1.
RULES UPDATE: Group stage games will be gunboat, while knockout stage games will be full press.

What about the difference between draws and solos?

That is in regard to tournament scoring.

For scoring: five points for having the most SCs, four for the second-most, and so on. Zero points are given for a defeated/resigned/conceded player. In addition, three more points will be given for a solo and one more for a draw.

The tournament will begin with ten people! I have to amend the rules slightly, and I'll make a new thread for it. Main points: IRL friends aren't an issue, as it's Christmas break. The ten members will need to vote on groups being sorted by rating or randomized.
ALL RULE CHANGES LISTED HERE:

No knockout stage: just two groups and a final. The top two from each group and the third-place finisher with the highest point total advance to the final. IRL rules are null and void. View above comment. No new thread.

SCORING:
Most SCs—5 points
Second-most SCs—4
Third, fourth, and fifth most—3, 2, and 1 respectively.
Solo—five points
Two-way draw: 3
Three-way: 2
Four-way: 1

Odds of survival: 3720 to 1

Everyone, please post in this thread whether the two groups should be sorted by rating or randomized. Once a majority is reached, (6/10) I will announce the groups and the tournament will begin.
Second voting topic: Rated or unrated?

My votes: Randomized and rated.
I don't see myself in your shortlist, but you said to vote...
Just in case I'm blind or it's a mistake, I'll say rated and random
Ah crap. Nuclear Surok, you will be the first alternate. I'm really sorry about that. TWCBSD was before you. If someone drops out, Surok is in.

TWCBSD and Surok, I'm really sorry about that. I was blind and stupid at some point.

On a lighter note, the standings on the vote so far:
Randomized 2
Rating 0

Rated 2
Unrated 0

Randomised.
Mildly prefer rates but not if that’s an issue for anyone
It's 3-0 for randomized and rated at this point.

Make maps
How were the maps from the "Variants" section made? I mean if their authors used some kind of software, like an application to do a customized map, or if the map was programmed right from the start or something.
Where do I get that application? Or what do I need to learn in order to make a custom map? I'm a programmer so I'm acquainted about the languages and that stuff, and I read something about Javascript and SVG/Canvas. Can somebody explain me that?
Thanks!

Greek Dip Build Problem
Is the 6p Greek map broken?
I have 7 units and 9 SCs, two of which are open for builds, but I'm only getting build options for one of them.

I'm only getting options for one build though. It's like it doesn't recognize Corinth as an open center

Face to Face play in what seems like forever...
So I've finally convinced my gaming group to have a go at Diplomacy, and i have to say I'm looking forward to doing this thing again after what seems like forever. Only problem is they are all newbies to the game. Any advice from folks as to how to introduce Diplomacy to gamers (who haven't played Dip) before?

Adjucation bug. Can it be fixed?
This move seems to be adjucated wrong. Support shouldn’t be cut from where it is going into if I understand the rules correctly. Armenia supported move from Rumani to Sevastopol, but it was cut even though Sevastopol is the target.

I don’t know how to post pictures, but the link should allow others to see the game. I would like to know if this can be fixed as it wildly changes the game.

Workaround to "forced" ready
In rulebook press, part of the idea is that for retreat and builds it forces you to ready up. However, simply by then pressing "not ready", the order changes to "saved". Is it possible to promote the original idea of this press type by making the state of "not ready" equal to "no orders received"?
