Issue with South American Supremacy Map
Hey, I'm getting ready to start a game with some friends using the South American Supremacy map. It appears the map is starting with a fleet in Bogata, which is a landlocked territory. the variant homepage lists Bogata as starting with an army. Is there is a good way to correct this? Thanks!

Map Markings
I apologize if this is a repeat question or if it's found somewhere obvious, but I'm brand new to vDiplomacy and I can't seem to find what the difference is between the two types of what I believe are SC markings on the Bye Bye Federalism map.

Can someone help me?

Option to play a variant with fewer than the max number of players?
Hello all,

I and two of my friends love playing 3 player diplo games together. Having gone through the different 3 player maps, I'm wondering if there is a way to play on some of the larger variants, but with just 3 people? For instance, I'd love it if we could play a 3 player game on Fall of the American Empire IV.

Policy For Site Unavailability/Glitch
What do you mods think about having some kind of policy posted to address when the site goes down or is not functional in the future? You have chosen to cancel the 1st game of Divided States over this, but the last time I was involved in a game that had this happen, the last phase was replayed. So currently, the response isn't consistent.

Join Team Iberia in the 2018 webDiplomacy World Cup
Iberia came 3rd in 2010, 2nd in 2012 and was absent from the 2016 edition. We're late to the party, but hopefully we can pull together quickly enough to register our team before sign-ups close. Are you ready?
The tournament is getting organized now:

Can't send press during build phase?
Hi, during one of my games, I seem to not be able to send press during build phase? I have been away from the site for a few years, so is this a new feature/rule I'm unaware of or is there something wrong with the game I'm in?

Email notifications?
Does vDiplomacy not have an option to send email notifications upon important game events?

I just recently set up a game, then came back to check on it a couple days later only to find that I'd NMR'd it without even knowing. I couldn't find anything in my email, even in Spam or Trash.
Devonian (1887 D)

Unfortunately not. I wish it did, or a push notification, or text.
But if you set up the game, shouldn't you have know when the deadlines were?

While there's no alerting system implemented, I've used an external service that scans the website for me and notifies me on my cell phone when there's a change (a phase has moved forward). I've used Web Alert on Android but there are probably others as well. I think my Alert scans the banner on the top of the site and will therefore notice when a game has advanced.

Sending many mails as a small website usually puts you on a blacklist for spammers. We had this with in the beginning, as many people created an account. Maybe I can add a personal RSS-Feed. But usually only the tech-savvy users know how to use RSS.
nopunin10did (1041 D)

Understood. I'll just have to be more careful next time.

@Devonian

I had the game start as soon as it was full, but I didn't realize it was going to fill up so quickly.

Are push notifications feasible?
Not really as we have no phone numbers registered for texts or a mobile app, only a mobile web UI for mobile browsers. Push requires an registered app on the phone which means writing it for both Android and iOS (and Windows phone for truly complete coverage) and getting it on all those stores.

An app would be cool though.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))

There is a standard for push-notifications. It works with most web-browsers, and should work on mobile too. I did some research, but it's a bit too complex for me. If someone could provide me with an easy implementation I can take a look at this.

On the other hand: RSS readers might be able to do Push notifications, and setting up an RSS-feed is really easy. I have implemented one on my development-server already. I'm just thinking about an easy (and secure) way to generate an individual feed for everybody that wants one (and have some ideas already).
I don't think the mobile browsers necessarily implement it. And I've had difficulties with IE and Edge pushes in the past. Chrome on a PC/Mac works great though.

I like the RSS idea. It's older tech, but it's more widely compatible.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))

For anyone interested I made a first implementation of a personal RSS-feed.
Just check the "Features" tab in your settings.

You generate your personal link and click it. If you use a RSS reader it will check for new "notices" in a given interval and send you a notification, or most browsers can create some kind of "life"-bookmark-list out of a rss-feed.
Enriador (1507 D)

Are we notified about in-game messages using RSS? I am trying out the Android app 'Read' but got no warning about a message.

Is it the app's fault?
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
10 Feb 18 UTC
No, it's not about in-game messages, only about turn-processing and PMs. It's basically the same as the "Notices"-tab on the home-page.
Implementing this for the ingame-messages would require some database-changes to keep the server-load low. But I'm not sure if it's worth my time to implement this.

WTA vs Draw-Disvaluated Scoring
What about adding Draw-Disvaluated Scoring to vDip?

It's a mix of Calhamer Scoring (aka Winner-Takes-All) with Draw-Zero Scoring, and has the fortunate effect of pushing players towards a solo unless a draw is absolutely necessary. Solos work like in WTA, but draws are different.

PPSC vs SoS
I couldn’t find the answer in Help.
I know PPSC means in a solo the points are allocated based on supply centre count while in a draw it reverts to an equal split of points like DSS/WTA
For SoS over on WebDip, in a draw the points are allocated on a sum of Squares principle. But Help section doesn’t say what happens in a solo. Same method or reverts to winner takes all? I’m assuming SoS whether draw or solo but checking
Thanks
